Queen Victoria md Irelnn nd.

The disclosure made by Lord Tennyson,
in his biography of his father. that Queen
Victoria did not sympathi with Mr.. Glad
stones home rule policy for Ireland, does
not come as surprise to the friends of
Ireland. 1t merely confirms what was the
general opinion in Irish circles when the
question was before parliament. The
queen, as at all times, was guarded both
in word and action at that time, but the
Irish leaders inferred from a certain fea-
ture of her extreme caution that her SYM
pathies were not with them, and judged
her accordingly. 1t is now shown by the
printing of her letter to Tennyson that they
judged her correctly.
The matter is of interest only because of
the agitation of the question at this time
of building a residence for royalty in Ire
land. The Duke and Duchess of York dur
ing their recent tour in the island were
very cordially received by the people, and
the circumstance was made the basis of a
suggestion that if the Irish people could
enjoy the opportunity of seeing more of
the reigning family there would be more
content in Ireland with English rule. This
letter of the queens may impair somewhat
the force of that suggestion.
But the suggestion is largely fanciful. 1t
Ireland has never complained of the ne
glect of royalty in the matter of the alb
sence of royalty from her borders. Her de-
mand has been, not for the presence of the
queen or any member of her family, but
for the presence of a parliament at Dub
lin, sitting with the authority to inquire
into Ireland's wants and provide for them.
She has asked for home rule not for gilt
tering pageantry. Absentee landlordism
has been a factor in the Irish question
but absentee royalty never.
The queen, this letter serves to recall
has never been an ardent admirer or sup
porter of Mr.. Gladstone. Several explana-
tons for the fact have been offered, and
one, in Mr.. Gladstone's interests, has been
that he was never sufficiently a courtier to
suit the queen. His obedience as subject
was perfect. but his manner and policies
were thought to border too closely on the
democratic to compare favorably in the
queens eyes with those of Lord Melbourne
or Lord Palmerston, or the Earl of Bea-
consfield, who served her in the premier
ship more after the royal conception of
what was called for from the occupant of
that Office.

From GuntOn's Magazine for October.
The great fact about the whole matter is
that the material progress of labor can be
achieved only as wages rise and prices,
through the use of improved methods of
production, decline. Nothing can be of real
service to labor which does not promote
one or the -other of these movements. The
single tax will not do it. Socialism will not
do it. Whatever will create among labor
ers new desires, habits and tastes, new de-
mands for comforts and refinements, new
ambitions for higher individual and social
life, strong enough to make them organize
to enforce these demands, will do it. Start
ing from this basis we find wide range
of benefcent influences which can be util-
lied to our end. Clean and weil-lighted
streets, public parks and baths model
tenements and good sanitation will pro-
mote discomfort with vile conditions of
home life Free museums, libraries and art
galleries will instill a higher range of
pie school facilities will do the same. A
shorter working day will give the rest and
leisure necessary for an adequate home
and social life. Labor insurance will re-
move the necessity of rigid sef-denial and
parsimony through all the years when men
should be enjoying the full benefit of their
earnings and taking advantage of those
opportunities which disappear as age comes
on. Public policies which encourage the
increase of manufacturing industries will
thereby promote the growth of towns and
necessary to the operation of high-wage
forces. Trades unions offer the medium
through which these forces can be cen
tralized and brought to bear upon the in
dustrial situation with power and effec
tveneSS which cannot be resisted.

Why the Referend dunn Fails.
From the Louisville Courier-Journsl.

Last week three important constitutional
amendments were submitted to the people
of New Jersey. One of them was known
as an anti-gambling amendment, and there
had been so much complaint of the control
of the state by bookmakers, race track
owners and the like, for many years, that
one might have thought that a full vote
would be polled. On the contrary, two
thirds of the voters, in round numbers, re-
manned away from the polls. 1t is reason
able to suppose that a majority of the alb
sentees had no personal interest in gam
bling. Men generally vote on question in
which they have a personal interest. Yet
the very men who might have been ex-
pected to vote for the amendment, If they
voted at all, did not feel interest enough in
the subject to go to the polls.
The majority of the people evidently in
tend to leave the making of laws. organic
or otherwise, to the men employed as law
makers. Only under extraordinary circum-
stances are they disposed to come out and
be counted for or against measure. When
measures are championed by certain men
they are more likely to vote because Of the
interest they feel in the men. In alb
stract propositions the majority of the vot-
ers feel but a languid interest, or none at
all

n Flank Movement.

AuditlondI evidences Of the bad faith
WIFI which the lexington and Belt street
Edllroad companies have been dealing with
the community for many months past con-
tinue to appear The latest showing in this
direction IS the discovery that in his an
Pheauon Tor permit to equip those lines
with compressed air motors the receiver
lor the roads declared his intention TO put
IN service the Hoadley-Knight system of
propulsion. The Commissioners have never
approved this system, but based their
favorable action upon the performance of
hybrid motor that embodied the best fea-
lures of the Hoadley-Knight system and
its chief rival for public favor, the Hardie
system The Commissioners have never
been officially confronted with a distinct
type of either system, and have never been
so called upon TO pass upon the merits of
such type as to warrant the suppo-
siticn that the system itself was on trial
before them. The whole air motor cam
paign has smacked strongly of a stock
jobbinS operation, and this latest disclosure
tends to confirm the idea 1t must not be
overlooked that the Hoadley knight motor
that was in experimental service here in
the spring failed utterly to meet popular
approval. being condemned for numerous
AtoSoHS- II "dS never placed IN the Official
tests and was Withdrawn in favor of the
monSrel motor before the Commissioners
were formally approached for an authori-
tative opinion in conformity with the terms
Of the statutes. The record of this case is
such as TO warrant the closest scrutiny of
all propositions emanating from the COM
panles, even 10 the point of q skeptical
weighing of motives The situation with
regard TO the pipe lines is sufficient au-
thority Tor the public to assume a posi-
lively incredulous attitude toward the rapid
transit promises of the companies, and
this latest divergence from the lines laid
down by the authorities, however ex-
plained, serves to strengthen the suspicion
that the main purpose of the receiver at
present is TO pick a quarrel with the Com
missioners, in order. having failed utterly
TO obey the requirements of the law, to
make a showing before Congress in the
role Of martyr.

And he is right The citizen should love

exaggeration and an occasional lapse from
the more rigid canons of good taste as
applied to smaller things for the fine ardor

occasion to feel a very great amount of
satisfaction at the progress he sees ON

forging ahead, its resources and opportuni-

spirit many notable things have already
been done and many more notable things
are certain to follow.

The Reasons for Annexation.

The reasons for the prompt annexation
of Hawaii by the United States are CO.
gently set forth in the latest publication
on this subject. the handbook just issued
by former minister Thurston, who has a
perfect acquaintance with the subject and
the ability to state Hawaiis case In the
most effective form. A synopsis of this
pa mphlet appears in the news columns of
this issue. The handbook itself will doubt
less be of value to the advocates of an
nexation during the coming winter, when
this subject will be uppermost in the minds
OF the members of both houses of Con-
gress. The systematic presentation OF the
reasons for annexation, with arguments
and statistics to support them, together
with every possible suggestion that can be
made In opposition analysed and fully met,
cannot fail to create sentiment favorabl
to the project. As thus presented the case
seems SO strong that 1t is is difficult 10 con-
ceive of successful antagonism.

EX-Presfdents in the. Senate.
From the BOSfon Herald

The suggestion of ex-President Cleveland
as a United States senator from New Jer-
sey is made by some one not well informed
as to the condition of present politics. New
Jersey is not democratic state, and If it
We're, it would not be found to be demo-
cratic after the style of Grover Cleveland.
Politics is too much in transition state to
afford opportunities to men of his char
acter. The same position was projected for
ex-President Harrison after he left the
presidency. but there were too many others
in his party who wanted to be senators to
give him much chance, even with that
party in the majority. The question has
been discussed, What shall we do with our
ex-Presidents? Only one of them was ever
il the Senate-Andrew Jackson-and he
for a brief term. Yet 1t would be a good
movement to provide place for all OF them
there. Let them be national senators ex-
officio. The Senate might be improved In
this way. 1t might be now II Harrison and
Cleveland were in 1t.

No Quarter for Illegal Wires

The activity displayed by the District
Commissioners in the matter of the
Illegal overhead wires that were removed
Saturday is to be warmly commended.
These wires were strung without warrant,
and in direct violation of the known laws
and regulations They, and doubtless many
others within the District were literally
''sneaked'' into service to perform money
earning duty for the company placing them.
These efforts do not serve to hasten the
ultimate solution of the difficulty that sur
rounds the electric distribution business
done in this community. but rather tend
to postpone the final untangling of the
knot. 1t is plain that new legislation is
needed, most carefully drawn and wisely
administered, to bring order out of the
chaos that congressional neglect and cor
porate greed have caused The chief rea-
son urged by the electricity producers for
such legislation is the present inability of
the rival companies to extend their lines
to complete their conduit equipments, and
to meet more fully than is now possible
the needs of the city and District for cleo
trio power. The community's reason for
this action is its proper desire to rid itself
OF the dangerous nuisance of overhead
wires. If the companies persist in making
illegal connections by stealth, and are al
lowed to continue in the enjoyment of such
advantages, much of the commercial argu-
Inent for a clearance of the conditions dis
appears. Such actions as that of yester-
day will speedily teach to the companies
the lesson of compliance, and the Com
missioners will find their hands strength
ened by continuing the vigorous campaign
against the wires that they have thus sue
cessfully inaugurated.
