AMERIoANs AND THE QUEEN.

Ex-Vice President A. E. Stevenson
gives a "reminiscences of the dead
queen of England. Mr.. Stevenson
was presented to Queen Victoria at
Windsor castle. He and his colleagues,
Senator Wolcott and Gen. Paine, of
the bimetallic commission, went to
bury, in July. 1897, and the party was
received by the queen by appoint
ment. The interview was brief and
entirely formal. The American
gentlemen presented their credentials
as special ENJOYS to Great Britain,
and held brief conversation with her
royal highness, who seemed, even
then, infirm and quite feeble. Her
manner, while formal, was pleasant
and agreeable, and the visitors were
impressed, as have been visitors for
many years, that they were receiving
the courtesy of the highest type of
womankind. She was, at that time,
spending a few days at Windsor
castle, the old historic palace of which
she was fond and which was one of her
many homes. The grand old castle,
the first building of which was, erected
by William the Conqueror. is full of
many things of historic interest,
which were enjoyed by the visitors.
In answer to the question of how
the death of the queen would affect
the country of Great Britain. Mr..
Stevenson in an interview at his
Bloomington home said:
1.-The death of the queen will be
greatly deplored throughout the Brit
ish realm, as well as elsewhere in all
the civilized world. Her death, how
ever, will make little difference in
government matters in England or
elsewhere. Sovereignty in Great
Britain is but the shadow of it's for
mer self. While England is nomin-
ally a monarchy, it is, in many essen
tials, a republic. The power of Queen
Victoria during the latter days of her
| reign has been indeed but the shadow
of the unquestioned power of her
grandfather, George Ill. BIT little
real power exists in the queen, inf
nitely less than in the president of the
| United States. As an illustration
| The veto power exists in our president
| and the right to exercise it in his dis
erection is unchallenged. While the
| same power exists under the British
constitution, no monarch has dared
to exercise it for 100 years. An at
tempt to do so would probably cause
q revolution.
1.-The real power in Great Britain is
in the house of commons, manifesting
itself through the cabinet. The
house of lords is but little more than
a tradition. The real power of Great
| Britain ia exercised nv Lord Salisbury
not by the queen"
Hon. James S. Ewing, former minis
ter TO Belgium, lives in the same city
of Bloomington and Gen. Stevenson
is cousin of that gentleman. He
remembers the visit of the prince OF
Wales TO this country. In his hunt
| ing trip near Dwight the prince was
the guest of relative of Mrs. Ewing
for some days. Mr.. Ewing had seen
the queen on several occasions.

the British people to the royal family

THE business men of Pittstield pro-
prose to raise 81. 200 year for the
next 10 years to provide material for
improving the roads leading into that
city. All that is required of the
farmers who will use the roads is that
they do the hauling of the material.
The plan seems good one and Incl
dentally affords an example of the
spirit that is manifest in cities smaller
than Rock Island where the desire
exists to encourage the farmer COM
ing to town and to improve his op-
portunities for doing go.

The sultan of Sulu, President Nc
Kinley's great and good friend, is in
a quandary. He says he has been
gold-bricked. Why, he wants to
know, if the Philippines have become
United States territory is he paid his
subsidy in Mexican silver instead of
American gold? 1t does look like
shabby treatment of man who has
such a number of wives to provide
TO, when calico is so high.

The choice Of Judge Burnham. which was

men in his party who objected To ais pro-

administration and his IDEAS on different
measures, and. in addition he was opposed
by those who thought he had been Senator
long enough.
Another great factor in the contest. and

seized this opportunity to unite in bringing
about his defeat.
