It Is observable that when our national
jeAlousiss are not allowed to interfere
there Is 3 strong bond Of fellowship be-
tween the people Of the United States
aud those OF Great Britain. We are
proud of their great achievements In
sciencs and art. and to certain extent,
In their queen who Is at the head of an
ArissOcrAcy of which we do not approve.
II is well, however, to remember In this
connection that our regard for Queen
Victoria is personal one. We forget
her position as a queen in our respect
for her as a woman, and In this our views
are doubtless reflected by a vast majority
Of her subjects; for as \ queen she
stands only for system OF government
In which the mass Of the English nation
takes no pride. her subjects are so only
In name and her people pride themselves
on their freedom.
The monarchy Of England has, during
the whole Of the present reign. bssn
completely controlled by Parliament 1t
is due to Q ieen Vlc.oria's good sense
that she allowed no issue to be raised
which would bring her In conflict with
the real governing power of England.
without a loss OF dignity, she has
reigned longer than any other English
sovereign, except George Ill, who was
nominally king for City nine years, thre,
months and four days, though his powers
during the last nine years of his life
were vested In his son, as regent.
As Kmpress of India. Queen Victori 81
rule extends over nearly one and hal
million rquare miles with population
of 275, 900, 900 souls She asceaded tn,
throne June 20. 1887. Abraham L'ncoll
was then 10yesr old boy; GlGdston
probably trundled a hoop, while Lor
Salisbury had not yet come into e6is
tence The Duke of Wellington va
stu fresh from his triumphs at Water
loo and Daniel Webster WAS In tn,
z,nlth Of bis fame. Well may Englan
be proud Of her good and virtuous quss
who may live to be her last earthl
monarch. Aud while In this country W
admire and respect Qlesn Vic toriA "
may well be proud In the fact that "
have no queen.

LEGION or HONOR TROUBLE.

Mem bers Complain OF = Double Rate AS
ssssm RESOLUTIONS Opposing the
Action OF the Executive Committee
Adopted.
There is trouble 10 the American Legion
Of Honor, the pioneer beneficial assess
ment order, over the double rate
assessment called for on Au
gust l. A meeting was held
In Philadelphia last night ct
whith several prominent ofhssrs of the
order explained that the assessment WAS
necessary owing to the unusually in
creased mortality and failure to infuss
new blood into the order.
The American Legion Of Honor has
one subordinate society, Diamond
Council, In Wilmington, and the mem
beis OF 1t are greatly interested In the
results Of the complaint Of the ASSESS
ment
TIE result OF the meeting wss the
unRntnous adoption. according TO the
statement of the officers, Of resolution
approving the action of the Supreme
Executive Committee In levyl1g the
double rate assessment 10 meet the obli
cations OF the Order. Tbs alleged unan
unity of this nctior, however, is not yer
cordially borne out By the expressions Of
number of the members, who declared
openly after the meeting that they Wv
not pay the assessment, but would drop
out OF the Ordsr.
The American Legion OF Honor was In
stltuted in Boston on December 49, 1878,
and was one OF the pioneers among the
fratsrnal Insurance. organizations Of the
coontry. 1t sprang rapidly In favor, and
its membership continued to increase
until at the present time It numbers
