\ Complicated Succession.

ltis by a very complicated and brok-
en- descent that the new King Of Eng
land will take mis- place in the line OF
Edwards. He has TO 90 back TO one Of
the great ones. the third, who. with
Edward the Black Prince, whipped the
French at Crecy and Poitiers- His
direct zeneaIo-y does not touch another
Of the name Ii was from Edward Ill
that Henry Tudor claimed descent
through his mother and made good his
claim on Bcsworth field
One Of the high stewards OF Scotland
about the time Of Edward III. married
the daughter Of Robert Bruce and their
son succeeded TO the Scottish crown as
Robert II. 4 descendant Of his, james
". married the daughter Of this Henry
VII. and when the family Of Henry
iii became extinct with the death Of
Elizabeth. the great-grandson Of the
Princess Margaret. James VI Of Scot
land, became James l. of England
This Is the way the Scottish house OF
Stuart came in by Inheritance from
daughter Of the TudOrs, who had claim
ed through daughter of the PIantaga-
nets. the first Of whom the Duke OF An
j0u. had married the granddaughter OF
the Norman cOnquerer. The dlrect sue
cessi1n Of the Stuarts was from James |.
10 Charles l., Charles Ii. and James IL
The revolution Of 1858 gave James IL :
crown 10 his daughter Mary and her
IS and after
Dutch William it passed 10 the other
sister. Anne. The partisans of the house
OF Stuart always insisted that this was
a rsurpation. but the last opportunity
10 restore the male line was missed
when Queen Anne died.
Mary and Anne having left no de-
cendants and the Jacobite claimants be-
ing ruled out. il was necessary to turn
to the collateral issue Of James l. HIS
daughter Elizabeth had been married to
the Elector Palatine and their daughter
Sophia, 70 the ElectOr Of Hanover
Earnest Agustus. whose son was rec
ognized as heir TO the throne Of his
English and Scottish ancestors, TO which
he accseded as George l. In this way
the German family Of Guelphs, the
house Of Brunswick k-Luneburg came 10
reign over Great Britain.
The subsequent succession has been
reasonably direct, Victoria being a
granddaughter Of George ". There
is no immediate danger now Of the ex-
haustion Of the direct line Of her de
scendants, as long Is the English
people find it convenient to select the
head Of the state in this way. Actual
right Of descent was practically repudiat-
ed At the revolution and the succession
is determined by act Of Parliament
the consent OF the governed. - Phila-

Never does a man feel so helpless as
when he looks upon the suffering of the
wife he loves and knows that he is
powerless TO prevent 1t. And when, as
Is often the case, he has exhausted every
means at his disposal in the vain effort
to restore his wife to health, his despair
almost equals her suffering. There are
husbands who have passed through this
experience and have found n way to be
helpful to their wives when physicians
had absolutely failed to cure, and been

Brutal British Orders.

Amid the clangOr Of dennnciatlOn Of
General DeWet for the alleged in1ictiOn
Of the death penalty upon one who at
tempted to induce his men to quit fight
ing, some questionable British orders ap-
pear TO have been issued. The stop
the war" committee in London issues a
statement ayerring that Kitchener has
issued orders to the troops pursuing De
Wet 10 take nc prisoners. This may
be construed to mean that no quarter u
to be given, as the committee construes
it, or merely that no prisoners are 70 be
sent in to share the limited supply Of
provisions at British posts.
The proclamation Of martial law in
Cape Colony, however, ~ accompanied
by u severe regulation, that IL shall be
unlawful for anyone except officials to
possess arms or ammunition. There -
no direction as to what the burgber8 are
to do with their rifles but they must not
have them in their pOssession. Pre-
sumably anyone found violating this
order may be taken on charge Of dis
loyalty and punished as the authorities
may decree. 1t IA a harsh rule IN "a
country where weapons are more Or less
needed IN safeguarding the bOusehOld
and where it has been the universal
practice 10 keep arms. 1t IL an order
that viii do much 10 incite rebellion,
the Boer being like the American re
garding the privilege 10 have and 70
bear arms as one Of HE inalienable
rights.
The truth ID the British authorities
are desperate. They are resorting to
measures not sanctioned by the civilized
code and are probably drying the Beers
to retaliation. This war has been a
grievous mistake on the part Of England
from the beginning, and it will be many
years before its stain ran be wiped from
the British escutcheon. From the
lancing Of men begging for mercy at
the inception Of the conflict TO the
brutalities Of Kitchener there has been
little in the struggle that honest Britons
need not be ashamed Of. -Pittsburg
