Il strikes us as a very graceful act on
the part of the German Emperor to order
nine of the war vessels of his navy to take
part in the great sea funeral arranged to
do honor to the mortal remains of the late
Queen Victoria 1t is eminently proper
that the greatest ruler over the waters of
the earth should be borne on the way to
her last home by the wooden walls of
England" and her masted hearse saluted
by her own and the other navies of the
world.
1t would be fitting and appropriate if
President Mckinley could despatch an
American squadron to take part in the
ceremonies. Possibly that may be out of
the question, as the time between now and
February 3 may not be sufficient for the
purpose. Wilhelm of Germany is the dead
monarch's grandson, to be sure; but in
America we are all feeling as If we were
also grandsons of that pure and utterly
good friend of our people and Of all man
kind. 1t would be an immense source of
satisfaction TO the public of this country
if the Stars and Stripes, floating from a
number of our largest battlesbips. could
be seen in the pageant between Cowes and
Portsmouth. II nothing of the kind be
feasible we hope that Mr.. Mckinley will

spared no effort, l might also say that She
shrank from no sacrifice 20 make the task Of
conducting this difficult Government easier to
her advisers than ,ght otherwise have been.
What a picture of true constitutional
sovereign, What an exposition of the
mighty influence that politically power
less prince can WELD over whole people!
The American President, with his enor-
nous personal strength under our Con-
stitution, can and does often defy the best
opinion, even the majority opinion of Con-
sress. His veto power and his power of
appointment at times enable him to over
ride the popular will: and to this ability
there has been added in recent years the
backing of unlimited financial influence,
re-enforced with which it is a serious
question whether the Executive in this
Government has not attained to power
overshadowing that of the legislative and
the judicial branches combined.
Victoria of blessed memory. through a
reign of more than sixty-three years,
never once attempted to gain influence
or prestige for .he Crown to the deprecia
ton of the actual imperial power which
inheres in Parliament. It may be useful
10 contrast this fact with the contrary
tendency which has developed in the
United States during the past four years.
To Victoria the constitution of her King
dom and Empire was sacred and inviol-
able. 1t was her earnest loyalty to it
that made her in truth as we'll as in
theory Queen OF the United Kingdom OF
Great Britain and ireland and Empress of
India. She did not rule because the Brit
ish Constitution would not permit that!
She did rule because every heart in

The Edwards of England.


In selecting Edward VII as the name
by which he shall be known the new King
of England invites a comparison with his
predecessors of the same name.
Three of them were men OF marked
ability; two died mere children; one only
was weakling King Edward 1. the
conqueror OF Wales, the lawgiver who
established order in the land. was the
greatest of the Plantagenets and good
many historians think him the greatest
man that ever sat on the English throne.
Edward III and his son. the Black Prince,
were the glory of fighting age. the vic
tors of Creci and Poictiers, when Eng
lands overlordship extended over Scot
land and the half of France. and London
held King of France and a King OF
Scotland captured in battle. Out OF the
tangle of the Wars of the Roses the later
historians are making out that Edward "
was 4 shrewd, Intelligent, energetic King.
if he was cruel and inscriptions. or the
two boys, Edward V was one of the poor
little princes murdered in the Tower. and
Edward VI, though Overshadowed by his
sisters Mary aud Elizabeth. has attached
his name to the English prayer book.
And before all these the weak goodness
of another Edward, the Confcssor. last of
the Anglo-Saxon line, gained him place
among the saints of Christendom.
In their different ways the Edwards
have achieved distinction in English his
tory. The opportunities which consti
tutional king has to impress his person
ality on the history of country are. OF
far less than in the days when a
King was a King. There Is trouble enough
looming ahead for England, however. to
enable Edward VII to put his wisdom and
sagaeity to the test. and 10 give him the
chance OF proving himself no unworthy
bearer OF famous name.
