The English people having performed
with fitting elaboration the last rites over
the body of Queen Victoria will now turn
and resume consideration Of the pressing
questions of the hour. There Is nothing to
give them serious pause, but much that
calls for energy and resolution. There Will
be no change In the government. Lord
Salisbury will continue to shape policy
and parliament when 1t reassembles will
follow his lead. The king. guiding by the
example of his mother. will have regard
for the wishes OF his subjects. and steer a
course of constitutional prescription. Such
at least is his promise solemnly made over
his mothers bier. He will probably keep
1t. Self-respect and self-interest alike re-
auire that he should: and II he does keep
It, in a spirit Of earnestness as we'll as Of
loyalty. the effect ought to be felt through
out the empire
Although everything seems to have been
suspended since the queens death. much
has taken place calculated to hearten the
English people and brighten their horizon
For one thing they now know that they
are not Isolated Their prestige and I'M
portance are of all but universal recogni-
ton, and their larger aims find wide ap-
prevail and support. The tributes to the
queen, while all deserved, have not been
paid exclusively to her personality. She
was a strong woman on the throne. and
intimately identified with English policies
and performances. When it Is said there
fore that she acquitted herself we'll of her
great task. and that her influence was for
good. her subjects share in the acclaim.
They supported her in all that she did. and
they cannot be separated from her in the
matter of praise or blame.
The England Of Edward in this view Of
the case, ought to show only those changes
that time and conservative Judgment en-
force. Her rivals in the contest for trade
are Germany and the United States, but
neither is an enemy. The world is not so
big place, but 1t is as yet big enough for
all three. 1t will be time enough to discuss
the probabilities of an armed collision when
commercial relations have been opened up
with Mars and several other planets, and
the drummers Of the three countries fall
out over their planetary samples. But so
far as the earth is concerned, the hopes of
peace and progress rest largely upon the
character and intelligence of the three pow
ers named; and the three have been brought
nearer together over the coffin Of Queen Vic
tcria than they have ever stood before
since modern lines of endeavor were drawn
And long may they hold that friendly re-
iation!

who have been more successful. In giving
aid and comfort to Aguinaldo and who are
not today under formal charges.
The question as to Wilcox's domestic
status is hardly worth pressing. His Of
Tense seems to have been technical. and his
Intentions appear really to have been right
eous enough, even though there was legal
lapse. The informally Of the election rests
also upon technical allegation only. The
fact remains that Wilcox received plural
ity Of the votes cast by the Hawaiians at
the recent election, in which all factions
participated. The issue in the case Is be-
tween Wilcox sitting and no one at all. To
be sure, Wilcox promises to be of very 1T
tie use to Hawaii during his term Of office.
He Is under a heavy political handicap. He
cannot affiliate directly with the republican
majority in the House, for he ran on a dis
tinctly anti-republican platform and his
campaign speeches were violently anti-ad-
ministration. and even anti-American. Nor
is there any ground for his utilization with
the regular democratic minority, which
does not represent the sentiments as to an
nexation which Wilcox professed as
means to gain the favor of the radical ma
tive vote. There is no independent group
with which he could snugly associate. He
stands alone. fiocking by himself, Stunned
by all parties and capable Of drawing upon
none for aid. The charges now filed will
serve to drive him even further into isola-
ton.
The reckless manner in which Wilcox as
sails the English language suggests the
character of the man, his ignorance and
his incapacity to represent such COM
munity as Hawaii is today. Such a man
will prove a disappointment even to the be-
nighted faction which sent him to Congress-
unless he radically changes his political at
titude while in Office. Inasmuch as he was
once an extreme annexationist such
transformation is by no means impossible.

They Prefer Temporal Protection.
From the Chicago Chronicle.


In the time of Claudius, King of Den
mark, there may have been a divinity
hedging kings. Though the suddenness with
which Claudius himself shuff1ed of this
mortal coll indicates that the divinity didn't
hedge him to any great extent. But in the
present age It Is quite evident that though
princes continue to maintain the assump-
ton of divine right-which necessarily inn
plies divine protectiOn-they are particu-
larly careful to supplement that protection
with carnal and temporal measures against
anarchists, nihilists and other forcible crit
les of royalty. The elaborate police pre-
cautions which are being taken to prevent
the blowing up of half the royalties of Eu-
rope at Victoria's funeral show very clearly
that the royalties themselves use the divine
right idea for publication only. For practi-
cal purposes they prefer to have squad Of
detectives close at hand and troops within
easy hail.

w. C. T. U. Lawlessness
From the Independent.


Mrs. Nation has achieved a national rep
utation. She, with a band of Women
CHI istian Temperance followers, has been
wrecking saloons in Wichita. Kansas. and
destroying the bottled contents and smash
ing the plate glass. She was arrested and
released. The disturbance and the method
threaten to grow. Let us see about it. The
laws Of the state Of Kansas are violated
by these saloonkeepers. The prohibition
law Is not enforced in Wichita by the off,
GERS whom the men and women of Wichita
have elected to enforce the laws. So Mrs.
Nation decides to elect herself an admin
istrator of Justice and shut up the saloons
herself. To do this she uses violence, ham,
mer and Ratchet. How does this differ. in
essence, from the act OF mob that be-
lieves a negro las been guilty Of q certain
crime and that he IL not likely to be pun
ished properly by the law. and therefore
takes him by violence and shoots or burns
him In accordance with it's sense Of Jus
ttce? We do not see. Both think they are
doing right. Both are doing wrong. Use
the law.

From the Boston Journal.

1t is not a bit too soon to
tf1pk ofIthe slippers and car
ridge footwear for the in
augural- ball. Some little
time is required to make spe-
cial things to order should
yos want something created
to suit your individual taste.
OF course the variety here
ready to put on is most COM
prehensive, and includes
every accepted slipper fash
ion, but oftentimes there is a
desire for slippers made of
special materials, and in such
instances several days are re-
CURED to complete them.
The same may be said of
riding boots-oficers' boots
so many OF which must be
bought for wear in inaugural
procession, While we show
variety we also make to your
special measure.
Recent arrivals of golf and
shooting boots make up an
assortment as large as is
shown anywhere, and include
some special designs much
effected just now by the fash
ionables of New York.
The scarce novelties in
footwear are always to be
found here, for we keep fully
abreast of them, and as rap
idly as the new and worthful
things are evolved you see
them here. For instance,
you see special noiseless
footwear for nurses, for
maids and buffers. Another
footwear novelty are the fenc-
ing shoes.
The usual shoe store gives
little attention to child's
footwear. You'll find this
store a striking contrast.
One entire floor devoted to
show and sale of children's
footwear, and you find here
complete lines of dress, party
and dancing shoes and slip
pers. The distinguishing fea-
ture Of the children's foot
wear you find here is the fit,
and9it is of this that we make
study Thus it is that we
have the confidence of par

of the power God has given us.
Candles are lighted, not to be look.
cd at, but that other things may be
seen by their light The light of our
abilities is to shine, not for our glory,
but that others may see our good

Light ceases to be light, and be.

to shine; similarly, the light of Chris.
tian ability must shine out in good
deeds.
