TIE death Of Queen Victoris at the
present time would probably cause
some connection, for the heir apparent
Is not only very obnoxious to the peo-
pie, but there is a growing disposition
to cut of some Of the privileges OF
royalty, II not to abolish It altogether.
But the people who imagine that an
attempt would be made to establish a
republic are very much mistaken.
Such q thing would be talked offs
talked Of now-and some meetings
Inlght be held to resolve in favor OF 1t,
but the mass of Englishmen would
oppose 1t. II takes q long time to
educate men up to the point Of making
a change In the form Of their govern
menr; and with its pauper labor and
aristocracy, with the class divisions
and the accumulated prejudices of n
thousand years, England Is far from
being ready for a republic. There can
DO no real republican government
where the social distinctions are so
great and 20 distinctly defined as In
England, and where the people have
always been accustomed to such con-
ditions. That the Crown will DO shorn
OF some Of Its prerogatives after the
death OF Victoria there can hardly be
a doubt; but there will DO no sudden,
sweeping chsnge-no violent reyolu-
tion.
