The late Queen Victoria seems to have exer
csed a suzerainty over the pocket money Of
her grandchildren. She held them to a strict
accounting in the matter of expenditure, and if
they did not make their allowances last over
a specified period. she sternly called them TO
account. One week when the present Prince of
Wales was at Elton, candy, tarts and other
schooboy delights, proved his financial undoing
He had spent a months allowance in one week
With impecuniosity and indigestion came re-
pentance. Accordingly he wrote long mea
culpa to his grandmother, confessing his fault
and asking for an advance account Of the
next installment Of pocket money. In reply
he received a long letter Of admonition from
the Queen, refusing his request. The letter
closed with sentence in which the writer ex-
pressed the pain that it gave her in having so
TO write to him.
few days later her Majesty received an
other letter from the future heir to the British
throne. 1t ran much like this;
Dear OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES received Please
don't bother any more about me. I'm all right
now 1 sold your letter for 80 shillings to one
of our fellows here. who is collecting the let
tiers of notable people."-Success.

The American Nation is not much OF an
observer of holidays. We are jealous of
our working hours, and will only give them
up for the most important of anniversaries.
For this reason it was many years before
Washington's birthday became universally
recognized, and it has been a very few
years since it was made a legal holiday in
Indiana. In the same way Lincoln's birth
day is now legal holiday in only a few
States, and will probably never become ma
tional. This results from no lack of vener-
alton for the memory of Lincoln; indeed,
that generation grows year by year until
we have ceased to place him second to
Washington himself. But the two days
come in the same month, and Washington's
birthday has the advantage of prior estab-
lishment.

The Employers Association, which will
meet in this city to-day, is an outgrowth
of the tendency of all interests to organize.
Considering the length of time that labor
has been organized and the great number
and large membership Of labor unions it is
surprising that employers have not or
ganized long ago. If the Journal under
stands the movement correctly it does not
mean hostility to labor any more than an
association of bankers means hostility to
borrowers or a bar association hostility to
litigants. 1t simply means that employers
propose to organize for the advancement of
their own interests, as employees did long
ago. If organized labor is a good thing, an
organization of employers cannot be a bad
thing. and perhaps the fact that both are
organized will tend to make them more
careful and considerate in their dealings
with each other.
