Proceedings in Detail

The Democratic caucus was in session
five ballots failed to nominate candidate
for Judge of the Court of Appeals. An
adjournment was taken until Monday
night Judge Whittle led on every ball
lot.
One Of the most interesting features OF
the proceedings wasla speech by Speaker
Saunders Of the House of Delegates, just
before the conference adjourned. He con-
tended that the caucus should deal with
the bills providing for the holding of the
Constitutional Convention before they
are considered by the Committees on
Privileges and Elections. In other words,
the Democratic members of the General
Assembly should outline the policy and
then let the committees work out the
details
While q vote was not taken upon a
motion made by Mr.. Saunders designed
to have the conference commit itself to
his suggestion, soon after Adjournment
it was announced that there would be no
meeting to-day of the Committees on
Elections Of the two houses to consider

will first be discussed in the caucus
The hall of the House of Delegates
where the caucus was held, was crowded
almost to suffocation. The doors were

10 REIGN COMPARABLE.

':There is no reign that is comparable
to this he continued, when there are
taken into consideration its length. the
increasing affection and loyalty of the
people, and the mighty mutations that
nave taken place, and when we remeGn-
Der that the sovereign was woman.
There have been other female rulers, who
have reigned many years, but not one
can call forth the r1nmeasured admiration
and love that flow at the thought and
name of Victoria
DR.. Calish compared the reign and life
of Victoria with those of Cheopatra. of
Catherine II of Russia, Maria Theresa Of
Austria, and Elizabeth of England. He
mentioned Cleopatra more as a foil than
in comparison, for she was not worthy
to tie the latchet of Victoria's shoe.
Catherine II of Russia, was not much
better. She was a brave. spirited and
capable ruler, but a cruel and infamous
woman guilty of debasing passions and
deep wrongs. Maria Theresa was like
wise a courageous and capable sovereign,
but she was party to the partition OF Po-
land-one of the most stupendous injus-
tices of history. With Elizabeth of
England she Will most readily and doubt
less oftenest be compared. Their
reigns were similar, in that both We're
long, prosperous and progressive. But
the comparison ends with things OBJ
jectiye It cannot be made subjectively.-
When we pass from the achievement
to the person, Victoria rises as superior
to Elizabeth as the nineteenth century
is superior to the sixteenth. Elizabeth
was wise, brilliant. sagacious, accom-
plished, energetic and capable ruler. but
she was a better queen than woman. II
she was not worse, she was coquette.

hand of Victoria would never have sign
ed the death warrant of Mary Queen
of Scots, as did that of Elizabeth, an ex
ecution that can hardly be condoned BY
reasons of state, when it was the fault
of jealousy.

three-fold capacity she answered every
splendid qualification. and met to the
choice of him who was to share the royal
seat, she followed not the temptations OF

but the dictates of the heart And that
union OF love was sanctified in untold
measures by the glorious and powerful
examples it set for domestic purity and
the holiness Of the hearth. She was no
less devoted In her relation as mother
than assiduous in her duties to the state.
In all the long years of that splendid
activity she raised a standard of domes-
tic chastity. of maternal. devotion and of
public fidelity that has done incalcu1able
good In nnlifting the morals and the life
of her people
She realized. as only too few do that

''yictoria and Her Era" was the sub
ject of the lecture delivered by Rabbi E,
n. Calisch, at the Synagogue Beth Aha
ba, last night.
The auditorium was filed, and the
speaker was closely followed throughout.
The discourse was one of unusual in
terest.
DR.. CaliSch said: England is in mourn
ing, and not only England and the British
Empire, but the civilized world. From
ey7sTy corner. Of the earth comes the voice
of lamentation. England may have her
rivals, her antagonists and bitter enemies,
but England's Queen has aroused only
admiration and affection, and all the
world joins with her loyal and loving
subjects to mourn the passing of their
gracious and beloved sovereign. Not only
the emblem of her far-reaching empire,
but the banner OF civilization is half
masted for one, of whom history may
well say that during her long reign not
alone did the human race make great
advance in all that uplifts humanity. but
that in that advance her personal in
fiuence and example was a most potent
factor, making for the highest and the
best and the nOblest that is in human
life. A quaint old Jewish custom obtains
that when one beslolds royalty he should
say the benediction, BLESSED art Thou,
o Lord, our God, Ruler OF the universe
who hast given Of Thy glory to flesh
and blood OF no earthly ruler can this;
benediction have been more truly spoken
than of her, whose mortal remains now
lie waiting for sepulture beside the long
lamented and much-loved consort.
ACHIEVEMENTS OF HER SWAY
To speak of the achievements of her
prolonged sway would touch upon almost
all Of the great accomplishments that
have been wrought during the last cen
turE.
The speaker then gave a graphic review
of the great strides that had been made
i'll all departments OF human life during
the reign of Queen Victoria. giving the
names OF the men who, in England, had
distinguished themselves i'll statecraft
scientific and p!lilosophc research, in lit
eratlre, the drama, in the aesthetic arts
and in mechanic progress, He said that
Victoria had witnessed in her life the
completion of the Thames tunnel. the
building of the Suez Canal. and of the
ST. Gothard tunnel under the Alps. She
had seen also many tremendous changes
in the life of nations. She had seen the
great revolution of 1913 that swept over
Europe: the downfall of the French En-
pire and the establishment of the first
Republic, which, in turn, gave way to
the second Empire which again, in its
turn, fell before the present Republic.
She had hefleld the Sepoy mutiny and
the acquisition of India in her own do

States; the establishment OF the Republic
