II FURTHER proof had been needed to
show that the Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland and Empress of India is mere
1guIehead, 1t was furnished in tho dis
patches published yesterday to the effect
that Gladstone and the Cabinet were fixing
up the Queens speech and outlining what
Her Majesty should say at the approaching
opening of Parliament. The fact is that
the old woman who sits on the throne of
England has nothing to do except to draw
big salary and urge upon the Lords and
Commons the creation of soft places with
fat salaries for her children and her grand
children, her cousins and her aunts. She
and her family must have money for doing
nothing, while the iaboring classes all over
her kingdom are crying for bread for them
selves and their families. Is it at all sur
prising that the masses are growing restive
under monarchical rule? The crowned
heads of all Europe see evidences of the
coming storm and hence their efforts for q
compact alliance and to prevent the spread
of republican principles. But they cannot
stem the tide. The people everywhere
have lost all respect for the theory of the
divine right Of kings.

death OF my friend, the late President, TO run

OF such proceeding as tho departure in 1881
OF Vice President Arthur for Albany to conduct

der that such proceedings rs that turned tho
head OF q poor crank like Guiteau. He told me
while in prison that that movement on the

the life OF the President. Arthur aud his
friends saw the bearing OF all this, aud took
pains to circulate story to the effect that
Garfield had been consulted In regard 70 Ar
thurs going to Albany, and had been willing
that he should go. Such O statement Is simply
ridiculous. He was greatly annoyed Mt this

This brilliant statesman surely deserves

Of his unique logic. Doubtless the common

to stay among them after the close OF his pres

As Il matter OF fact, thore were few companies

THE SENATE yesterday adopted the
resolution giving each Senator who is not
the chairman of committee clerk, but
amended it..so as to pay the clerk Sc day
during the session instead OFFS 900 year.
This looks little more economical, but is it
really SO? Was 1t not rather a deliberate at
tempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the
people ? The long session Of Congress gem
orally continues until about the first of
July. If n Senator appoints his clcrk to-
day and the session lasts until July /, the
clerk will serve 157 days, including Suu-
days, and he will receive $9i2 for less than
six months work. If he is not paid for
Sundays he will get 1923. If tine resolu-
tion had been In force on the first Monday
in December when Congress met aud the
session should last until July, tho pay OF
the clerk would be 81 ,260 for seven months
work. Take out the Sundays and it would
be 81 ,10l. There is therefore no saving in
the long session and but very little in the
short session. Would it not have been
better If the Senate had dealt squarely in
this matter 2
