GRKAT KVKKT Of THE AVE.
The past week marks ono of the great-
est events In the history of not only
Eugland, but possibly of the world. It
has been the ending of the most mag-
nanimous and virtuous rule of any mon-
arch the world has ever known. Whllo
It has not been marked by tho strik-
ing achlevments ami brilliant triumphs
Uiat have famed the re ign of other
rulers, it has been more fruitful In Its
Inspiration of loyalty, virtue and pro-
gresslwness than that of all the rulers
.a history. It has been un epoch of re-
finement and morality.
When Quean Victoria ascended tho
throne domestic relations were '({trained
almost to a breaking point. The world was
whimpering that old 1-jf.gland had passed
the zennlth of her groatness and must,
through the Inevitable relinquishment of
her foreign possessions, again sink back
into the curtailed limits of her original
sphere. But Queen Victoria was an active
and perceptive queen. She had been retired
and educated a Christian and a whig.
The people of her domain had been
driven from the traditional reverence of
royalty by the vice and usurpations of
their crowned htmds, but they turned to
her with a respect and reverence which
has since steadily grown.
it Is true that her uncle, William VI,
horn she sucoeeded had signed the re-
form measure which created the reformed
of parliament und made England
a constitutional monarch four years be-
fore his death, but his virtues had been
limited and outside of this work of re-
form his reign bad offered littlo to pacify
a discontented populace. The new queen
t once Inspired new hopes In the sub-
jects of Great Britain. King William had
not only been a licentious concubine, a
thick-headed ninny, but a tool o'f the
politicians and a great deal of dissatis-
faction was manifest among the colonial
subjects as well as at home.
tdiatcly upon her ascentlon came
domestic, reformations. The outbreak of
public Immorality of the Regency follow-
ing on the dull respectability of George
>urt was quickly cheeked. The
young queen, early married, insisted on
the observance of all the proprieties, and
-xhibted on thu throne the homely, wifely
virtues of all self-respecting English
women. She rehabilitated the house
of Guelph In tho minds of the Eng-
lish people. The relation of the subjects
o the government underwent many
hanges during the years which followed.
Tho country has its liberties, the peo-ple
have the ballot, the government is
answerable and responsive to the popular
will and many lessons of loyalty, confi-
dence, generosity and encoivomy have
been learned durlna the past sixty years.
queen's simple virtue and Godli-
ness* did much to solve the problem of
antagon.sm and to bring about domestic
tranquility. It is largely due to her ln-
tluence that Britain's colonists remained
loyal and became patriotic In support of
the government. This loyalty was by no
means one-sided. She lived to see Canada
and Australia complete schemes of feder-
ation which makes them ruit.ons in all
but name. She saw lml a become her
empire from the doubtful status of com-
pany government out of whloh the great
country had Issued, und South Africa rise
to wealth and strength, only to furnish
the war which saddened her life In Its
last years and hurried the endlrvg.
This week has also marked the begining
of a new reign. King Edward Vii has
been proclaimed. He is in his sixtieth
year and In his long period of probation
as heir to the throne he hus had oppor-
tunity such as rarely comes to royalty
to learn the true feelings and wants of
his people, th0 position that England
holds among nations, and the lessons of
human life and experience. His age may
be taken as a warrant that his his
"Prince Hal" days will be left behind;
Prince of Wales gives
assurance that no English sovereign be-

Informed us to the condition and needs
of his country.
Since the death of his father in 1861 on
him has been largely devolved the social
duties of the throne. He has officiated at
the public functions, and become the
favorite of England through his happy
manners and gjodfellowshlp. It is true
that his record is one that would not do
credit to any Christian gentleman, but
ho has endeared himself to the generous
m-iuls of England because hs was a
commoner. He has been a sport, and
earlier in life a privileged rake. But he
lias emerged from It all with the stamp
of a big heart and a liberal and well-
st eked brain. He has talked to and with

Kansas delivered a death 'blow to many of
her promising cities. Her border towns es-
pecially suffered, and many of them have
experienced difficulty in retaining their dot

Mrs. Nation is but following the pre-
cedent set in Kansas in her attempted vio-
lence against the liquor traffic. It Is quite
right that Kansas should not tolerate law
breaking, but the burden which this law
forced upon the cities of the state has In
a measure become so heavy that the citiz-
ens felt themselves forced to recognize the
liquor traffic and disregard the law. As a
consequence a great number of them are
standing between the law and the liquor
dealers, who they force by municipal meas-
ures to pay tribute 'to the clfy governments
and in this way accelerate the life and
progress (ft their cities.
