THE QUEENS EQUANIMITY.
(From the Spectator.


: Throughout her long and arduous life
see things In their true proportions. and
to maintain a uiss, sane, and equabls
outlook on public affairs. The Queen,
that Ii, In spite Of the thousand tempta.
lions which must have arisen during
sixty two years Of sovereignty. has never
shown fussiness, irritability, overanxisty,
or any other form Of distraction and
want of mental balance. There must
have been plenty of steps taken In home
and foreign affairs, plenty OF bills passed
and policies adopted. of which the Queen
has most heartily and strongly disap'
proved. Again. there must have besI
plenty OF oases In which statesmen have
b cen raised to power BY popular favor,
or dismissed from power BY the hckleness
OF public opinion, In which the Queen
has entirely differed with the majority Of
her people Whether the Quesn or hei
people have beer In the right does mol
matter. No doubt there have been some
instances In which she has been wrong
and the public right. and others In which
her personal view has proved the true one.
The important, the essential, thing Ia
that she has always kept her head In pub
lilo affairs, anu that In regard 10 the CON
troversies of the hour she has been aoit
to show the well-balanoed mind. When
she sincerely and oonscientiously disap
proved Of . measure or polio. that WA
triumphant or the momsnt she nevei
showed fussy anxiety or irritabiliJy, nsvsi
let IL no seen or known that she thought
the country was being injured by this oil
that fundamental change. Again. al
timss when . policy has been popular
with which she has been In special ant
personal sympathy, she has never yielded
to ths temptation to lat her name b
connected with Ii OF to assume any credil
for its initiation. Yet again and agair
it has happened that happy suggestions
from the Queen have had extrsmsly i'm
portapt results In policy and lsgislation
In theory her Minister'S advise tbs Queen
but In practice she often advises them.
In word. the Queen has been able
thanks to the inestimabls gift OF equAn
Unity, TO show neither irritability mo-
anxiety when things have not gone thu
way he would have liked them 70 60 mo-
the slightest touch OF triumph or sslf
complacsncy when hsr personal view ha

The government exhibit will surpass
that of last year. The Libby Prison
War Museum. an immense collection
OF historical relics, will be Argument
ed by trophies from the war in the
Philippines and the campaigns in Cuba
and Porto Rico. The various other
exhibits in Agriculture, Mining. Elec-
tricity, Machinery, Manufactures and
Art are superior to those Of last year
and in almost every department will
be new and interesting features.
The grounds and buildings have
been greatly improved, thousands Of
trees. plants, shrubs and flowers from
tropic and sub-tropic lands being used
in the decorations. In the Horticul-
ture exhibit are palms. orange trees
and scores CT trees and plants from our
island possessions. many of which are
new to the people Of the United States.
The Electrical illumination will far
surpass anything of the kind here
tofOrc attempted and all that is new
est and most novel in electric effects
will be shown. The Grand Court will

lights are displayed and many Of the

position have received more than us

be mentioned the Fine Art collection
which will be the grandest exhibit in
this line since the Worlds Fair; the

that such an opportunity to study the

Indian will ever again be afforded. The
