Heir to the British Throne,

If any one in this land of democracy
or otherwise is worried over the ques-
ton of the succession to the throne OF
England, let him or her be assured that
the heirship is abundantly provided for
at home. There is no prospect that it
will have to cross seas for a claimant,as
it went to Hanover in IVA and import
ed the Guelph founder of the reigning
line, George the First.
The former Prince of Wales, Albert
Edward, eldest son and first born OF
Victoria, for some three score years
has survived the hardships of his lot
and succeeded to the throne. No cere-
mony was necessary to pass the title,
the coronation being no longer a cere-
mony on which the legal title depend
ed. When the Prince of Wales became
King the former title became extinct.
There is now no Prince of Wales, and
there will be none unless and until the
title is recreated especially and bestow-
ed by patent on the Duke of York, the
present Kings eldest surviving son.
The Duke of York on the death OF the
Queen and the accession of his father
to the throne became at once the Duke
of Cornwall, title which inheres in
the heir to the throne in the direct line,
if one exists, or remains in allegiance
till one ia born. This duchy yields an
annual revenue of S250,000.
Had there been no living son of the
new King, say the authorities, his heir
would be the eldest son of his deceased
SOD. In default of children of son the
Prince of Wales daughters would be
heiresses to the throne in the order Of
their births, and their children after
them, the daughters of the eldest
daughter standing nearer to the throne
than the sons of a younger daughter.
1t was this rule of succession that
brought to the throne the Princess Vic
toria, daughter of the fourth son OF
George III, though she had uncles, one
of whom succeeded to sthe throne of
Hanover, which could not be occupied
by Queen regnant.
If the Prince Of Wales had no chill
dren or grandchildren his next brother
would be heir; and after him that
brothers. children in the order of their
births, and after the Princes brothers
his sisters and their children. The
German Emperor is twenty-ffth in line
of succession; the daughters of the
Duchess of Fife, the eldest daughter of
the Prince of Wales, the Ladies Alex
andra and Maud Duff are sixth and
seventh in that line.
1t is believed very generally that
Queen Victoria's family name was
Guelph, and that on her marriage, in
accordance with custom, she took her
husbands name, in its turn believed to
be Victim; she has been described hui
morously as the "Widow Guelph"
the "Widow Wettin," and as "Mrs.
Guelph" The house of Guelph. to
which Queen Victoria belonged, be-
came reigning house in Germany be-
fore family names became common; 80,
as fact, she had no family name, as
Victoria Roe, who married John Doe,
would have family or "maiden"
name.

Rarely does President OF the Unit
ed States take part in two such notable
events 80 close together as the funeral
of Queen Victoria, which President
Mckinley and his cabinet attended on
Saturday, and the joint congressional
celebration of the centennial anniver-
sary of the appointment of John Mar
shall of Virginia, to be chief justice of
the Supreme court of the United
States, which they attended in the hall
of the House on Monday. Time is
precious, both with the President and
with Congress, but time can never be
so precious that some of it cannot be
spared to do honor to the memory of
30 distinguished an American as was
John Marshall.

The difficulty of pleasing those who
refuse TO be pleased is once more ex-
empli6ed by the present attitude OF
those who have all along been criti-
Ching the President for ureurping the
power properly belonging to Congress,
in his in 'ular policy, toward the Presi-
dents ce-ire that Congress shall pass
upon the sAtsfactorlness of the Cuban
government that will be provided by
the constitution now being formulated
by the convention sitting in Havana.
President Mckinley holds, and very
properly, that Congress should pass
upon this matter before our military
authority is withdrawn from Cuba, and
his critics, seemingly just to be con-
trary, are contendlng that he chouid
assume the responsibility OF deciding
the matter. Their contention will make
no difference in the determination OF
President Mckinley to submit the
matter to Congress and to ask this
body to act upon ii. 1t is not likely
that the Cuban constitution will be
ready in time to be submitted to Con
gress at the present session, and that il
one of the reasons why the opinion tha
an extra session will be necessary, re
CARELESS OF what this may do or leave

The Boschieter beasts are Gagged at
Trenton. Before departing for their
long immurement they published a
statement in which they declared that
they were "the victims of unreasoning
outside opinions, based upon wild and
inhammatory reports printed in metro
politan newspapers to satisfy morbid
taste. mt Gall Ienough to Isink a ship is
embodied in this wall. AS the Record
of Boston remarks they fought to
have chance to move out into the
lynching belt and try their crime.
There they would get taste of public
opinion that acts in fashion quite un-
biased, and does not stop to temper
justice with anything"

The fight in the Senate over the ship
subsidy bill is on in earnest. The Re-
publican programme, arranged by the
steering committee, is to keep the bill
before the Senate until it is voted upon,
or it is shown that the opposition is de.
termined enough to prevent a vote.
Already the Senate is meeting an hour
earlier, and this week night sessions
are to be forced. The friends of the
bill are confident that the result will be
the passage of the bill. In speech
supporting the bill Senator Stewart
said on principle he was opposed to
any monopoly of the sea, but if there
must be such monopoly he desired it
to be American.
