Gladstone has been requested by the Queen
To applv to Parliament, at its forthcoming
session for grant of $40, 900 to help the
Prince of Wales to pay of such OF
his debts as are considered press
inc and for an addition of 100000
a Year to his Royal Highness' allowance OF
elO 600 year, irrespective OF the net revenue
of the Duchy of Cornwall. which amounts 70
nearly go, 600 year. 1t IS further stated
that Gladstone declined respectfully, put
fimIy. to comply with the request, alleging
that If any such grant or increased allow
ance were required it should be made by the
Queen herself, not asked from the
public purse. Gladstone's course cannot
fail to increase his popularity, for without
any allusion to the Prince of Wales the ma
iority of the nation certainly would hold that
it is no time for an increase of any allowance,
especially in view of the great private fortune
possessed by the Queen, and OF the furtner
fact that if the Prince of Wales has incurred
debts it is because the heir apparent mas peen
compelled to discharge duties and assume
expenses which, in ordinary circumstances,
would fall to the share of the sovereign.
