in 1862, and Henry seconded her efforts by
another invasion in l464, all of which were
unsuccessful however. In 1861 Edward
married Elizabeth, daughter of Lord Rivers,
and this so angered Warwick, who had
planned a marriage of the king to the sister
of Louis XI of France, that he began TO
plot against Edward, but so well did he
conceal his hand that his treachery was not
discovered until 1869. Warwick was de-
feated at Stamford and fed to France, where
he Joined forces with Queen Margaret in
vaded England, defeated Edward and placed
Henry on the throne. Edward managed TO
escape to the continent but returned later
under pretense that he had relnquished all
claims to the throne and merely wished to
settle his estates, He rallied his followers
about him, however, defeated the forces of
Warwick at New Barnet and again secured
the crown. His reign continued until his
death in 1883. Edwards great personal
beauty made him a favorite with the peo-
pie but he was more distinguished for cum
ming and intrigue than anything else. He
had no real ability and his reign was
marked by many acts of cruelty. His de-
clining years were marked by great self
indulgence.
Edward was the boy who was murdered
with his brother in the Tower of London
in 1883 by his uncle, the duke OF Glouces-
ter, afterward Richard III. The prince
was but 10 years old at the time he was
so cruelty killed, and his story is the
property OF the hearth in almost every
English speaking home.
The last Edward previous to the present
monarch OF England lived but sixteen years,
from 1887 TO 1868, He was king for but a
few years, and the government was admin
istered entirely by the duke of Somerset
and later by the earl of Warwick. Edward
VI would hardly have made a good king.
He was devoid OF any kingly traits OF
character, lacked force and decision, and
was too much of recluse to hive ever
become interested In affairs OF state He
was an excellent scholar, and, though he
died at such an early age, was something
OF a writer. The fire OF his precoclty
was probably made all the brighter by the
disease with which he was afflcted-con-
sumption,
Thus it will be seen that England has not
much to be proud Of in the reigns of most
Of the preceding Edwards, and 1t is to be
hoped that the present king will break the
long list Of failures they made at govern
ing properly and we'll

With but one or two exceptions relates the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat, the nine Ed
wards who have reached the throne in the
past were either weak and incompetent or

was the poor little prince of the Tower"
who spent his few days of kngship behind
its gloomy walls and died to satisfy the am
bition Of his hunchback uncle. Another did
not live to attain his majority and was king

Edwards would have served England better
as plowmen than as princes. OF course, It
is not the attempt to prognostcate King
Edwards acts by the faults or virtues OF
the preceding Edwards, but it is interesting
now that another Edward occupies the
throne for the first time in nearly 400 years,
TO look back at the reigns of the others.
King Edward is really the tenth Edward

he was in the act Of drinking from cup

pre- Norman conquest Edwards was born In
1904, and acceded in 1043. This Edward was
known as THE Confessor," because of his
prediction for religion, and was really
more of a monk than king. His quarrels

The first Edward to sit on the throne
after William the Conqueror annexed Eng
land to his royal person ascended St. Ed
wards chair in 1874, and was one OF the
most kngly kings England has ever known.
He was endowed with higher attributes as
a statesman than most of the monarchs
who have preceded or succeeded him, and
though his claims to the Scottish throne
are open to question and his treatment Of
the Scotch at times harsh and severe, 1t
may be asCribed as the fault of the times
and not taken as blot on his otherwise
just man, and was broad minded and liberal
in many respects. One of the brightest
things that may be written OF him is the
fact he was really the founder of the con-
stitutional system in England. Edward |
played an important part in the affairs of
England. even before his coronation. He
was made governor of Gascony at the early
age of 13 in place of Simon de Montfort and
this incurred for the youthful prince the
enmity OF that worthy. He married Eleanor
OF CASTLE in 1854, and thus established for
his children claim to the throne of that
kingdom. In 1864 he met Simon de Mont =
fort who had stirred up a rebellion at
Lewes, and met defeat. He was taken
prisoner, but succeeded in making his es-
cape, and joining forces with the earl OF
Gloucester scored a decisive victory over
the rebels at Evesham the following year.
In 1863 he was beseeched by the pope to
undertake n crusade to the Holy land, and
Immediately undertook the task In 1871 he
captured Nazareth from the Moslems and
massacred every man, woman and child
within the walls of the town. In revenge
for this cruel act he was stabbed three
times with poisoned arrow by Moslem
assassin, but his splendid constitution ena-
bled him TO Withstand the effects of the
poison and he recovered. While still in the
Holy land his father died, and he was at
