The avaricious disposition of
Queen Victoria, and the enormous
amount Of money taken from the
public treasury for the support OF
her family and relations, are among
the principal causes Of her present
unpopularity, 1t costs the British
people over three millions Of dol
lars a year to support the royal
family and yet, ever since the
death of Prince Albert, the Queen
has avoided tile usual expenditures
of her station, much TO the disgust
of the London tradesmen and the
English people generally. She in
herited over five millions Of dollars
from Prince Albert, who possessed
an income Of about a thousand dol
lars a year when she married him.
She has also received several be-
quests of large sums OF money
from wealthy ambitious to connect
their names in some way with roy
atty. One of these, a man named
Neeld, bequeatLed TO the Queen a
million and a half of dollars, which
she pocketed, although twas shown
that the kindred of this person
were in a very needy condition.
The belief is becoming prevalent
that in England the monarchy will
be abolished when Victoria dies
and If such should prove to be the
case, there can be no doubt that
her grasping conduct in money
matters win have contributed
largely to such a result.
In this we may see the supericri-
ty of American institutions over
those ofGreat Britain; for if we
should ever be so unfortunate as to
have a President who should prove
himself greedy for gain, it would
not be his high office, but himself,
that would be repudiated by the
peoplea the end Of his term.
