yICTORIA'S PARLIAMENTS.
Something Of the Ten Men Who Have
BEEN Premiers During Her Reign.

For several reasons the new parliament
in England win have an interest for
thoughtful persons all over the world.
ssys the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. -
will be the 10th Parliament Of Victoria's
reign, and, as these. theoretically, have
q duration of feven years, this circnm-
stance will give an idea OF the great
length OF time which the present queen
has borne sway. This Parliament has
interrupted the regular pendulum swings
which have been in progress in British
politics for quarter of century. The
British electorate seldom gives power to
the same party twice in succession In
these days Of normal political conditions.
There is possibility that a new man
Will go TO the premiership early in the
term. Lord Salisbury Is in his list year,
which is not extreme old age, as COM
pared with the average of the recent pre-
miers Gladstone was IS when he made
way for Rosebery IN 1894, but Gladstone
was a prodigy in both a physical and an
intellectual sense. Palmerston was 81
at his death, holding the office OF pre-
mier at that time. Salisbury lacks the
physical Nigor Of those two personages.
len men--M6lDCur0e, reel, RUSSELL,
Derby, Aberdeen. Palmerston, Disraeli,
Gladstone, Salisbury and Rosebery-have
held the premiership during Victoria's
reign, and some OF them had the office
several times. These represented all
shades OF politics, from the ultra Tory
ism of Derby to the advanced Liberalism
of Gladstone. 1t has been said that the
prime minister who held the Queens
highest regard was Melbourne, the first
man who had the post during her reign,
ana who filled the office before her time.
Next to Melbourne, the first minister
with whom the Queen was most friendly
was Disraeli, the one who conferred upon
her the title of Empress of India. she ID
said to have disliked Gladstone for his
imperiousness, and 1t was largely ON her
request, that Russell dismissed Palmer
ston when the latter as minister OF for
eign affairs, extended the support OF the
British government to Napoleon III. in
1851, after the overthrow OF the second
French republic and the creation OF the
second empire. All the persons who have
held the office OF premier at any time dur
ing Viotoria's reign are dead except SAL
isbury and kosebery. Seventeen persons
have successfully been President OF the
United States, beginning with Van
Buren,. since Victoria assembled the
throne back In 1897, and only three Of
these-Cleveland, Harrison and McKin-
iey-are living. The whole face OF hu-
man society has been changed in the al

INITIATION FRANKS.
Varsity Girls of Syracuse Have Lark
with Black Cats.
lFrom tne syracuse Journal.l

Fraternity limitations on University
Hill are supposed to be- entirely secret,
but occasionally a story Of some Of the
preliminary preparations 60 the final cere-
monies will leak out. A certain amount
of fun Is included in the limitations OF a
few of the fraternities, and the fun for
the girls OF the sorority in question re-
Gently took strange course but 1t was
still funny, although more fanny for the
neophytes than for the initiators.
This story was let out by some careless
talking of one of the girls The same girl
will probably not tell another, and mas
much as the name Of the sorority is not
divulged the story does no harm.
There are six girls fraternities on the
hill. They are commonly known as
sororities, although some OF them are
technically fraterntties. The upper class
girls of this sorority were oleanly outwit-
ted, SO the story goes.
The candidates were brought before
their prospective sisters and told with
much solemn impressiveness that their
chances for being taken within the sacred
bounds were decidedly doubtful, They
would be Obliged to show their desire by
performing very difficult task.
The candidates were orestfallen, for
their hopes had been high, but they had
not expected to be sent away to climb a
glass tree to hunt for the white ravens
eggs, or to climb seven high mountains
and swim seven deep rivers to find a
beautiful prince.
When, however, they were told that
their entrance depended upon their bring
ing each q black cat without one white
hair In It's fur and to place 1t in a basket
on the steps of the chapter house before a
certain hour, their fears were somewhat
subdusi. The time in which to work
was short, the city was strange and
friends were few; but there was hope.
One OF the freshman girls OF this
sorority is clever. Her head helped the
others out OF a pending disaster. The
black cats were secured within forty -three
minutes. The remainder of the time
was spent In y general spree, which
ended with the first freshman banquet.
Promptly at the hour the candidates
filed to the chapter house steps, and in
the twilight carefully deposited their
cats, each in little basket OF similar ap-
pearance. The upper class girls peeked
from behind the curtains and patted one
another on the back to think that they
had delegation which could find black
cats in six hours.
When the candidates had gone they
stealthily crept out; but when they picked
up the baskets the cats seemed to lack
weight. Eagerly the uppsr-class girls
crowded aorund each basket to hnd-not
a cunning little kitten with big black
eyes, but seven numbers OF the popular
magazine, The Black Cat, without q
white hair.

BRYAN's FUTURE.

The future OF Mr.. Bryan as political
leader depends chiefly upon the future of
the Democratic party. There are ele.
ments in that party whose opinions and
feelings MIR. Bryan represents as well, II
not better, than any man In the country.
He is their idol, and with them
his second defeat is no more likely
to hurt him than his first. Indeed,
1t may be looked upon by them
as a sort of martyrdom to the cause they
represent, and It's effect be to exalt
bin in their estimation rather than
to depreciate him. Altgeld anu mis- SYM
pathizers will think no less of Bryan
because Of the popular verdict OF Tues
day. They have ideas, and though their
ideas are of dangerous and destruc-
tive kind they believe in them and cling
to them tenaciously. Men like Altgeld
are not mere politicians, turning their
sails TO catch the passing breezes;
they cherish definite ideas and poll
cies. aud IL is thu triumph OF these Ideas
and policies they are fighting for. Party
to them is simply an instrument for
putting their views into practice, and un-
less 1t is well suited to that end, that
is unless controlling number OF
the party believe In their views
they have no use for it. A DEM
ocratio party whose principles and
policies Grover Cleveland embodied
would have no more attraction for them
than the Republican party. 1t is not
place and power that they are after

General elections for members of Parll-
sment were held in the Dominion yester-
day, after campaign which, though
short, has been exceedingly spirited. The
issues have been numerous, and some
what complicated, the tariff being one OF
them. The Laurier government has been
severely attacked by the Conservatives
because of alleged corruption on the part
OF two OF the ministers and alleged dis
loyal utterances by one OF them, MI.
Tarte, during the Boer war. Dispatches
last night indicated that the Liberals had
won in the Maritime provinces, electing
more members than at the last election.
If they hold their own In Quebec the
Laurier government will probably pull
through, though it lose some members in
Ontario. This mornings dispatches may
show the general result.
