Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria's distinction is not
that of sovereign renowned for states
manship or for achievements in war.
She was the symbol of power on
whose dominions, the proud boast is,
the sun never sets. The drum beat of
its military forces is heard around the
world. This was political eminence
greater than that of any other ruling
monarch. 1t might have been mega
tive in its character, but it gave it's pos
SCISSOR stately precedence among the
potentates of the earth. And Victoria
bore the distinction with becoming
dignity and grace.
In the minds of many people the late
Queens character as woman eXalts
her above her rank as the sovereign of
the greatest nation on earth. She had
not been virtuous or pre-emineut in
womanly qualities above many thous-
ands of her own countrywomen or the
women of other countries. She was
not distinguished as wife above a
multitude of other wives, or as a moth
er above multitudes of other mothers,
but in womanly virtue, wifely love and
motherly devotion she was shining
exception to the moral precedents both
in the court of England and the courts
of Europe of her own day and gener-
alton and for generations preceding.
In these qualities she was "a gem of
purest ray serene," cut out and shining
Respondent from the gross environ
ment Of her ancestry, the Royal
Georges. Possessing without alloy the
virtues and qualities that dignity wom-
anhood, it is nevertheless true that her
high distinguishment as a woman, as a
wife and mother, shines by contrast
against very dark background as
we'll as by native light. The breath OF
scandal never entered her court. Nc
prime minister of smirched character
or doubtful morality ever admins
tered her government. Moral purity
was the touchstone by which political
officers and the members of her house
hold were tested. If the test failed or
was misdirected the remedy was in
stantly and vigorously applied.
Royalty did not chill the native
kindness of her heart. She had ever
woman's sympathy for the sorrowing
and the unfortunate. The sovereign
was supreme on occasions of state; il
the seclusion of the private precincts
which royalty reserved for persona
duties and affairs the woman of many
goodly parts and qualities asserted he
sway. So the grief of the English PEG
pie at this time is reasonable and intel
ligible.
As factor in shaping the affairs o
her kingdom and the great empire be
yond the shores of "nook-shotten Eng
land" Queen Victoria is very gener
ally regarded as simply the symbol o
national or imperial sovereignty. Th'
real power was welded by the Dis
raelis, the Pa(merstons, The Gladstones
the Salisbury's Of her reign. Very
likely this is true. The extent to which
it may be true the history of her sixt,
years occupancy of the throne will tell
and more particularly in the latter an
most eveutful half of her reign, whe
the young sovereign of eighteen ha
become woman OF mature conviction
and capacity to judge.
Victoria is commonly credited, how
ever, with firmly exercising the pre-
negatives of her Office to decisivel

Live the King! Edward VII is the
first of the name in England for three
centuries and half. Edward vi was
a boy king, becoming sovereign in
1547 at the age of ten years, and dy-
ing iu 1858. There is but one Victoria
of England, and the name will prob
ably be her sole and peculiar distinc-
ton. Certainly it ought 80 to be.

The Hobarts were an estimable pair
The late Vice President was man of
full stature in what best distinguishes q
man, and in womanhood Mrs. Hobart
was his peer. This good and gracioue
lady, whose home is in Paterson, N. j.,
the locality of the Bosschieter tragedy,
has begun, in thoroughly practical
way, movement to influence the young
mill workers of Paterson by better
surroundings. The widow of the late
Vice-President has received in her own
home sixty young girls employed in the
silk mills, and now calls on other wom-
en- to manifest in social ways their ap-
probation of those young women of
excellence, morally and intellectually,
now working in the mills. Paterson
has been alarmed by the revelations of
the recent murder trial, and the phil
anthIopists' eyes are opened TO dan
ger that may not be confined to that
city or State.

REPORT ON THE TAX LEVY
THE COUNCIL FINANCE COMMITTEE
WILL TAKE ITS TIME.
Council Meeting-Other Mu-
nicipaI Affairs.

The Council finance committee will not
report on the ordinance fixing the tax levy
for ne ear and the appropriations. neces-
sary n the city government in 1902 at
the Il, lar meeting of the Council next
Monday night. The law provides that the
levy shall be fixed in September and this
will necessitate a special meeting Of the
Council probably the last week of the
month.
The members Of the finance committee
are anxious to secure opinions from the
city attorney and other leading attorneys
on matters pertinent to fixing the tax
levy and the appropriations, before making
a report There seems to be some question
to the amount of revenue the city will
derive from taxes next year and the matter
must be cleared up before the levy is
fixed.
Members Of the committee are of opinion
that it will be better to make the tax levy
high enough to bring sufficient funds into
the city treasury to pay all the running
expenses of the government without max
ing it necessary to make so many tempo
rary loans during the year. 1t is argued
that it would be better TO make higher
tax levy and have a small surplus in the
treasury at the close of the year than TO
have the city controller calling upon the
Council about five or six times a year for
temporary loans to tide the city over until
the next taxes are paid. II is also said
that several members of the Council be-
lieve that the people of Indianapolis are
growing weary of the temporary loan ques-
ton and efforts will be made to provide
some means to do away with the evil. One
member of the finance committee said that
the loans that have been authorized this
year will eat up nearly $780, 900 of the next
taxes. Anticipating revenues is a matter
that may be done away with in the report
to be made by the finance committee.

Why Cooperative Creameries Fail.

Orange Judd Farmer.
This subject was discussed at the recent
Iowa dairy conference. S. B. Shilling, OF
Mason City, said it was due to the action
of creamery promoters organizing cream
cries where not needed, stealing skim milk
by patrons, too many directors and poor
butter makers. The automatic skim-milk
weigher is a minister of salvation to the
cooperative creamery, and saves many
souls from going to the thief's reward. A.
j. Glover creamery inspector for Mime
sota said the five causes of bad results are
off flavor in milk, milk commencing to sour,
not properly strained, barn odors, and
partly churned in hauling to creamery.
When he sees a dirty can cover he con-
cludes that the whole can is dirty and he
tells the patron his can is unclean. If the
patron pays no attention to this remark he
tells him his can is dirty, and reads the
law to him which shows him liable TO
fine. A great cause of rotten flavor Is, how
ever, found in many creameries in unclean
milk pumps and pipes. He scored the COM
mission men also for paying One-half cent
above quotations, saying the practice is in
herently dishonest.
