IN Favor Of Monarchy.
.TIer,s has been a long reign. and In
contemplating 1t and the feelings 1t
arouses we cannot but feel that the
monarchy is better than the presidency.
With the monarchy there Is contlnua-

presidency make a break IN the anec-

IN the reign OF Queen Vl-to.ta that 1t is
hard 10 know where 20 begin. hut. In our
consideration Of II. first Of all let not the
devoted motherhood Of the Duchess Of
Kent be forgotten. Her whole ann IN
life was to at her daughter for the work
before her. and Vlctorias character Is
due largely to this mothers devotion.
Reyerence for help from above has been
a striking Characteristic Of the queen
since the day OF her coronation. Her
6rSt request OF her mother AFTER the
ceremony was that she might be left
alone with God. The whole life OF the
oueen has been ideal. Happy In the
love Of her chosen husband and her
children. her home life was the ideal
of thousands Of mothers the world
over. She believed that the religious
trimming OF children should be given at
fhe mothers knee Would to God that
the mothers OF America would thlLk
and act in this respect as she did
Queen Victoria has been ABOVE

BY the side OF her chosen husband only
the wreath Of orange blossoms upon
her head. The same sweet womanly
gympathy has never been found want
ing where there has been suffering and
6Ickness. not only among her soldiers,
her sailors. and the unfortunates OF her
own people, but wherever great snrrows
NAV have fallen. Although England
recognized the bclliEerancy Of the
South, the queens heart beat true to
the North for she has always been a
foe to human slavery. We might speak
here OF the spread OF civil and religious
liberty In England since her accession
to the throne. OF the vast acquisitions
Of territory, OF the dispersion OF the
AngIo.Saxon race the world over. and
OF the plan for Imperial unity. In all
this We might glOrify her as the central
figure. but we prefer TO SO back to the
secret OF her hold upon the world. OF

love, religion and sympathy-and We
should send up our gratitude 10 God
