A QUEEN AND HER SUBJECTS.
Respect for Plainly Dressed
Woman in Her Carriage.


(From tie Kansas City StsrD
The appearance Of Queen Victoria in the
city OF London, yesterday, presented many
differences between what was announced
as her last public appearance on the ncca-
sion OF the golden jubilee. The Queen NAV
be said 10 have changed her mind srd-
denly, and decided in a great and i'm
pCrtant hour for the Empire to once more
look the people in the face and survey her
mighty capital There was no time for
preparation, no opportunity for the elabO-
rate display OF ceremonial which made the
royal jubilee one OF the marked celebra-
tions In the entire history OF the world.
There was little to see. after all as
spectacle, except a short stout old lady.
dressed in plalGest black riding in a car
riage with a few OF her relatives and pre-
ceded and followed by a mounted escort.
Yet the grand tabieau was wonderful
Wherever that carriage went it passed be-
tween living walls of people. For miles and
miles the little Old lady in black bowed
her head in response to the laundering
cheers that died away behind and were
passed on before like the mighty voice
of the perpCtUally coming waves that burst
upon the shore. There was no pageant TO
wake enthusiasm. ft was no childish de-
light wakeEed by a burst Of Hsht and
glitter. II was to the eye but an elderly
lazy in her carriage.
But this venerable woman stood for Eng
land, for all il has been, and is and is 20
be. Never was there such a gathering c.
the democracy which is coming to rule the
world. In the multitude here was no re-
specter OF persons. Starss,sg beside each
other on the cold street were duchesses
and poor street dealers. earls and crossing
sweepers. ard al cheeTed. As or our
streets On gala days. there was waving
OF the red white. and blue. The coiors
twiae all around the world low and Lon
don was buried in them. So the Queen Of
Great Britain and Empress OF India came
10 her own again. not with sword or orb
or crown. or sceptre. Tor this is the peo-
pies-ase' tO4eEtcn s-sli power and honor

Mclean ut Kansas city L. VI. Car
son. Democratic pOliti, an OF some iRflu-
ence in Kansas City. brings to Washington
an interesting and may be an original view
Of the Dewey movement. he points out as
significant the fact that the Hon. John r.
Mclean has engaged tho most expensive
suite Of rooms in the SWEETEST hotel al Kan
sas City FOR the convention. Colonel Nc
Leans agent who secured the rooms mere
iy told the impertinently inquisitive hotel
proprietor that the colonel wanted the
rooms for himself and o friend OF very
great prominence" Since the announce
ment Of the great sailors willingness TO be
elected President based or hic conviction
after careful investigation that the Office Is
not hard to fll the Kansas citizens have
jumped to the conclusion that Colonel Nc
Lean is going TO have the Admiral as his
guest during the convention Il is con-
tended that there woui. be no improperly
in this. Admiral Dewey Is Colonel Nc
Leans broJher-in-Iaw. and while the colo
mel is supposed 10 be a firm supporter OF
the Chicago platform as well as OF William
Jennings Bryan. still If before he was
shocked by the announced candidacy OF his
brOther-iu-law for President he had -rnyit-
ed the great Admiral 10 20 to Kansas City
with him and see how national conventions
are run the invitation can be considered
only one OF those gracious acts of hospital
ity for which the NcLeaus are famous.
And If the great ACmi-ai should not now
reconsider his acceptance Of the invitation
Colonel Mclean. IL Is pointed out. could not
be expected TO request him to do so. Il Is
known that Colonel Mclean will not have
a vote In the conventions. More than a week
ago he notified his followers in Ohio thai
he did not desire TO be sent TO the conven-
tiOn as a delegate and that he greatly pre-
ferred 10 20 there as a reporter for his en-
tecp-ising newspaper. In view OF this fact
IL is suggested that So vas his original in
tention 20 invite the admiral TO study at

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.


Surprise to Bryan'S Friends.-Tbe
Hon. James d. Richardson has exercised
his prerogative as Chairman Of the Demo
cratic Congressional Campaign Committee
TO appoint an executive committee to take
charge Of tie work in a manner viewed with
some surprise by the close friends Of Mr.
Bryan. Senator Cockrell. whom Mr. Rich
ardson has made chairman Of the Executive
Committee. is entirely satisfactory to
everybody. because his Democracy is OF
thar character which can always be relied
upon 10 uphold with courage and intelIi-
Sence the announced policies and prin-
cip-es Of the party. The other members
Of the committee selected by M~-Rtchard-
son are Mr.. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Ruppert OF New York Nj DAILY Of
New Jersey, Mr.. Hall OF Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Norton OF Ohio. and Mr. Mckea of Ar
kansas. Il is said that with the excep-
ton OF Senator Cockrell aud Mr. McRea
every member OF the committee is in IA
Vor Of a radical modification Of the Chicago
platform by the Kansas City Convention
and that they are now working to that
end. Most Of them, IL is true have de-
clared ia terms more or less fulsome for
the denomination % Bryan, cut IL is kncun
that they are not in sympathy with the
Nebraskan's main cOutehtions. Messrs.
COckrctI G nd NCftea are the only members
of the committee who have had anything
like considerable experience in national
politics. IL is supposed that the consid-
Grafton which chiefly influenced Nj Rich
ardsOn In his selections is that there are
more doubtful districts IN the East than
IN the West and that a prepondsrance OF
anti-frec silver men in the managing
committee is advisable. StilI. the uncOm-
promising Bryan men do LIT view the

Early AdjOurnment.-ThOugh no au-
thoritative statement on the subject has
yet been issued. il is confidently believed
that the Republican managers have decided
to force adjournment OF Congress before
the first week Of June. In support Of this
belief it is pointed out that the committees
Of both houses are carefully keeping all
driftwood out Of legislation and reducing
to the bare necessities of the Government
and the eXigencies- Of the party the meas
ures that are favOrably placed on the cal
endar. Porto Rican legislation now is prac-
ticaily out of the way as there is no likeli-
hood that the House will refuse 10 accept
the Senate bill. Hawaii and Alaska have
been pushed ahead of other measures OF
vastly more Importance. and these two
bills will be hurried through with all pos
sible expedition. The appropriation bills
have all been got out OF the way. and af-
ter Hawaii and Alaska have been finally
disposed Of, only the Hanna Payne ship
subsidy scheme strictly party and Do
litical measure-will be left for the man
ayers to force through. That this scheme
will be pushed at this session, there seems
20 longer any doubt. Until a week or two
ago It appeared likely that the measure
would be held in allegiance till the next ses-
sion, but IL is said that the special in
terests TO be benefited 10y the scheme have
made its passage at this session a condi-
ton precedent to the promised campaign
contribution. and that this is a demand
that Mr.. Hanna cannot ignore. 1t IS
thought to be possible to complete ali hi
legislation on Alaska Hawaii, and the ship
bounty enterprise within the next seven
weeks and then both branches Of Congress
will be ready to adjourn

a GREAT PAPER

The twentieth century edition of the
Lynchburg News is a great paper, and
credit even ITO that enterprising contem-
porary 1t contains sixty pages Of mat
ter, most of which is devoted to the
business and industrial interests of the
Hill City. The paper is profrs&ly illus
trated, showing pictures of the leading
citizens of Lynchburg and the various
buildings Of note in the city. 1t is paper
to study and we have no doubt that 1t
will greatly aid in advertising the COM
mercal and industrial advantages of
Lynchburg. Virginia needs all the ad-
vertising that she can get and the cities
of Virginia will do well to let outsiders
know what inducements they are Offer
ing. We make our bow to the Greater

CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY.
Meeting at the Y. NJ. G. a. Rooms
TQ-SiOht.

Meeting at the Y. NJ. q. A. Rooms
To-NiSht.
An application was made at the last
Legislature by q. number of prominent
citizens for the Children's Home Society:
The society proposes to work upon plans
somewhat different from that Of orphan
asylums, though it will not anita onize
them.
The method not only gives the child
many advantages of family life, but very
materially lessons the cost of caring for
dependent children. The experience Of
the society, which is already Incorporated
in twenty-seven States, is that the aver
age total cost of providing for each child
is $50. while statistics show that the av-
erage total cost in orphan asylums per
child is about $500
1t is thought that Richmond already
has too many charitable organizations
and there is a strong feeling among some
that the Ci1iIdrs-,'S Home Society and
the Association for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children, of which Mr.. Vir-
sinius Newton is president, should CO.
operate, and to that end all of the men,
bcrs of the latter Society are invited to
meet for conference with those interest
ed in the Home Society at the Y. NJ. c.
A. tonight.
Rev. D. w. Comstock. superintendent
of the Children's Home Society of West
Virginia. and Rev. w. J. NIaybee, former
superintendent of the Home Society of
the city of New York, will be present at
the meeting and explain the work of the
Society.
