English Monarchy on Its God Behavior


The monarchy is accepted by the vast
majority of Engiishmen without any
strong enthusiasm for it, but without an
desire TO put an end to il. The onward
march of democracy will sweep away the
House of Lords and the established churcht
it will concentrate power even more than Il
now the case in the House of Con4
mons; while, by the payment of the mem.
bers of that House il will convert il from
an assembly 81 piutocrats into one moro
directly in harmony with the people. ksla
the monarchy is likely to survive th6se
changes. It's abolition Is not wiaea4 Ihv
area of practical politics, nor viii
il be SO long as those who h1v3
at heart its continuance are as wise AZ.
their generation. The monarchy has de-:
voted adherents among the upper classes
on account OF its social aspect; the mid
die classes like il because they have a no
tlon that II Is respectable; the artisans and
the agricultural laborers have grievanre4
that touch them more closely, and a.
change from a monarchy TO republic
would not so directly benefit them as tho
removal OF these grievances. At Radical
gatherings, while | have never observed
any ardent desire to sing God Save the
Queen" / have never heard any desire ex-
pressed 10 substitute n republic for our
present system. Were q parliamentary
candidate To address an electoral meeting
on the advantages of a republic he would
be deemed litter at windmill, and he
would he requested to favor his hearers
with his views upon more practical and
more immediate issues.
