1t is pleasure to read even the
brief telegraph reports which
have come to hand, describing the
great diamond celebration of
Queen Victoria's sixty years
reign, joined in, as it was, so
heartily by delegations from her
loyal subjects in every quarter of
the globe. pit has been proud
year for the British Empire,
marking as it does, the entry of
the Queen on her seventh decade.
The descendants of Britons have
become so numerous, and so wide
ly scattered over the globe, it
may be said that they are in ev-
cry land and in every large city.
There are even in the United
States descendants of the royal
line, who can trace their ancestry
back to William the Conqueror
and even here in Hawaii there
are those whose lineage reaches
back to the same renowned Brit
ish monarch. But it is the per-
sOnal character of the ruling SOW
ereign that commands the uni
versal respect now given to Vic
toria. While she rules the freest
and most liberal monarchy in Eu-
rope, it is the one whose throne
is most secure. The British peo-
pie, like their American cousins,
are intensely democratic, as they
demand and enjoy their personal
liberty, and whatever helps to
elevate the condition of the
masses. So long as British roy
atty recognizes and protects the
rights of the people, and seeks
their welfare, the throne will re.
main secure, and will never be
disturbed by popular uprisings.
Queen Victoria has recognized
this throughout her long reign.
She has had independence enough
TO speak her mind on more than
one occasion, when she sees her
ministry acting contrary to hei
private convictions of what is just
and makes for peace. This trait
of hers was well illustrated a few
months since, on the occasion
when President Cleveland start
led the world with his celebrated
manifesto maintaining the Mon
roe doctrine in relation to Vene
zuela. 1t will be remembered

Stricken Blind.

Stricken Blind.
LONDON, June 15.-The knowledge of
the Queens sad affiction is still confined
to court and professional circles, and eff
forts are being made to prevent public
announcement of her blindness until af-
ter the Jubilee. There will be no author
itative statement issued before the end of
the celebrations.
T. 1t was not until the present week that
the fact that Her Majesty's eyesight had
almost failed became known in the vi
cinity of Balmoral, and the report was
at first not believed. The assiduous at
tendance upon the Queen during her
daily drives and excursions was ascribed
to rheumatism which long made 1t inn
possible for her to walk. The editor of
a local journal who is inspired by castle
authorities, Monday received private con-
firmation of the report that Her Maj
esty is almost sightless. This information
was coupled with a request that 1t be not
published pending the Jubilee festivities.
1t is a pleasure to be able TO add that
last nights cable, telling of Her Majes-
tvs affiiction, was inspired by the same
authority.
The Queens general health is excellent,
better, indeed, than II has been for two
or three years.
