QUEEN VICTORIA.

BY the time this paper reaches its read
ers the estimable woman vino has for much
more than half-a-century worthily worn
the august crown of Great Britain will
have passed to her account, and the long
est and most glorious reign in the history
of that mighty Nation will have ended.
If she had lived until the Goth of next
June Queen Victoria would have been on
! the throne 90 years. The two longest
reigns prior to hers were those of Eliza
beth, 45 years, and George I'LL, 60 years.
Not only has Queen Victoria been a wom-
an of the highest character, but she has
been a blameless monarch. Her personal
life was pure, and her court reflected her
own character TO far greater extent than
any in Europe or in history. Since she sue
ceeded to the throne of her dissolute old
uncles, and stupid, often insane, grand
| father, her country has made the most
marvellous progress in every direction:
wealth, possessions, commerce, literature,
science and art. Her contribution to this
| has been to be an eminently respectable
figure-head to a powerful Government, but
this contribution has been a very great
| factor. While she was not a commanding
intellect, and possibly gave no direct slim
illus to any great movement, it was of in
estimable benefit to Great Britain and the
world that she gave to the British Nation
monarch and court of which they
could be justly proud and of which they
could always speak before other peoples
with unbounded respect and admiration.
In no country in the world will change
of rulers produce so slight a rufile of dis
turbance as in Great Britain. This is be-
cause the country is absolutely governed
by committee of Parliament. "The
King reigns, but does not govern" When
the Prince of Wales succeeds to the throne
his ideas OF what should be done will be
of the slightest Importance. Parliament
will settle absolutely, and without even Sc
much as a hint from him, what the policy
of the Government must be. We can I'M
derstand it better by imagining this coun-
try governed entirely by Cabinet select
ed from Congress by the dominant party,
with the Presidents functions confined TO
| leading in social matters, and signing such
papers as the Cabinet prepares for him.
| So long as the Republicans remained in
| a majority in the House of Representa-
tiyes committee of Republican Senator's
and Representatives would absolutely gov
crn the country. They would go out of
mower and similar committee of Demo-
cratic Senators and Representatives take
their place whenever the Democrats So
cured majority in the House. The Eny-
fish claim for their system that il is moro
responsive to the sentiment of the country.
We claim for ours that it secures more
steadness in carrying out policy to the
end. For example, under the English svs-
tenn, six or eight Representatives could NJ
any time during the existence of the pres
ent Congress have changed the entire mol
icy by going over to the Democrats and
! giving them majority in the House.

ing from the Office of Governor. Undoubt,
eddy Oyerwork in his Office brought about
his death He was an earnest, conscicn-

the discharge OF what he felt TO be his
duty. He was n self-made man, and one
of the ablest that the State has produced.
His father was a Virginian. who moved
TO Indiana in 1928, and the Governor was
one of II children, who developed under
the hard conditions of pioneer life. He
was born in 1S43, and enlisted in the I'D
Ind, which became part of Wi.der's
celebrated brigade. He served through the
war faIIhfti:" and creditably, and on his
muster-out settled on a farm, and became
quite successful with it. He was an ar
dent Republican, and whenever he would
allow himself to be a candidate was a
very strong one. He was elected Govern
or by the largest plurality ever given n
candidate in Indiana.
