workers in the mines were slaves
There were practically no schools.
There was no right of suffrage and
the only voice the people had in the
affairs OF the nation was through in
clpient revolution. Elections to par
lament were matter Of barter among
a few free-holders.
Educational, industrial and political
conditions in the kingdom now are
well known, and they show wonderful
reform in sixty-three years. 1t may
be said that the queen had little to do
with bringing about these changes
that in initiating reforms her efforts
were almost nil. But she never checked
or defeated progress, and many times,
when bills for suffrage extension Or
for the abolition of abuses have been
opposed by the house Of lords, her in
tiuence, exerted through the premier
or trusted counselor, has cleared the
way for the enactment Of the needed
legislation.
Victoria's long reign and long life
enabled her to see monarchs OF other
lands come and go, governments rise
and fall, dynasties appear and disap-
pear and all the mutations to which
fate makes kings and their thrones
subject. In the period of her reign she
saw Nicholas l., Alexander H.. Alex
ander III. and Nicholas II. governing
Russia from the kremlin and she fol-
lowed the politics and participated in
the International policy Of that empire

ment into a continental domain or
English institutions. New Zealand
and other islands Of the south seas be-
came portions Of her realm, the old
French Canadian provinces and the
regions Of British Columbia were
welded into the Dominion Of Canada,
and her South African colonies assumed
the dimensions Of an empire.
Internal changes and reforms in
Great Britain have been fully as
marked as the external ones. When
Victoria assembled the throne in 1887
there were On the Kingdoms statute
books half a hundred offenses subject
to capital punishment-among them
the theft of a loaf of bread. Every
village had its whipping post. The
