The celebration of the sixtieth anniver-
sary of the -eign of Queen Victoria which
began on the Goth instant is occupying
the attention of subjects of the British
Empire in all parts of the globe. While
some of the greatest events in the history
of the world have taken place during the
reign of the Queen it is an illustrious ex-
ample of all the graces and virtues of
womanhood that Her Majesty has won
the admiration and respect of all the
world. Through all the complicated way s
of diplomacy she has proven herself a
steadfast.friend of the American people,
and it is said in her praise that on more
than one occasion she has by her tact and
Judgment prevented war between Eng.
land and the United States. All honor
to the British Queen. May she live many
more years to foster and encourage all
the domestic virtues, by her example end
rule the great empire of which she is the
head with the liberality and justice that
has marked her course since her corona
ton.
The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-06-22

The hope held out in Washington Of re-
viviug the arbitration treaty with Great
Britain has very little foundation to rest
upon. The same Senate that defeated the
one prepared by Mr.. Olney and Lord Sal
isbury stands ready to smash any that may
be brought forward into fragments. An
glophobia seems to rule the roost in the
american House of Lords, !" which inter-
preted means a wholesome regard for the
Irish vote. BY strange process of cad
vancement," or retrogression, rather, the
Senate of the United States seems to be
much less conservative than the Hou Sc
of Representatives, who come directly
from the people. In the matter of Cuban
belligerency and in the arbitration treaty
with Great Britain, the members of the
first named body have far outstripped
those of the lower House in their demands
for an aggressive American policy, and
but for the restraining influence of the
President, there is 10 knowing what their
iingoism would lead to.
