Leinster was but fifteen years Of age at
the coronation of Edward VII. He has
now attained his ajority. but his health
is so delicate that he is compelled to

7 During the reign of the P1anta gene,
and Lancastrian kings the office Of Lord
| High Constable was usually associated
with that of the commander in chief OF
the army. and this was the case also in
France. where the dignity of Grand
Connetable du Royaume ranked as the
very first in the kingdom and was fire.
quently held by a prince of the house
of Bourbon. One of the princes of Bour-
bon was killed, as Grand Connetable du
Royaume, at the siege of Rome.
1t is said that in 1904 Napoleon enter
tanned for time the notion of restoring
the Bourbon dynasty, in the person OF
Louis XVIII, reserving for himself the
office of Lord High Constable of the
kingdom, with all sorts OF extraordinary
powers, but eventually he came to the
conclusion that he would prefer TO be-
come sovereign of France instead, and
accordingly bestowed the title of Grand
Connetable de FEmpire on his younger
brother, Louis, father of Napoleon III.
In view of the past history of this
office in England as we'll as in France, it
is particularly appropriate that it should
be filled by Lord Kitchener at the cor
onation of George V, for ii is now def
nitely decided that in the event of any
great war in which England may be-
come involved Kitchener is to have the
supreme command of the forces in the
field as generalissimo. Official an
nouncement has already been made
within the last fortnight Of the fact that
the field marshal, at the personal in
stanceeof the King, is to succeed Cen
eraI Sir John French, soon after Easter,
as inspector general of the forces, Sir
Sohn taking up the inferior Office of
chief of the General Staff, the present
occupant Of which, General Sir William
Nicholson. will go to Dublin as COM
mander of the forces of Ireland. in sue

sured Parliament that the office of In

1T was the mannerism of the Russian

smoking much longer than any other women
in the world save certain provincials such

found who will do it better
These reforms seem the most urgent
and generally useful. I am not unmind-
full of the need of others, but I have
learned that to undertake too many
things at once, especially when legisla-
tive cooperation is required is apt to
mean failure in all. Fairness, economy
and intelligent fidelity are the founda-
tons of good government and to attempt
other Improvements before securing
these would be beginning at the wrong
place.
Efforts to continue reforms in the
state will have a further effect this
year The need Of reforms is still great
er in the federal government, and it can
be met in the election of congressman.
The waste of public funds which, to the
extent of three hundred million dollars,
IS openly confessed, is well worth looks
ing after especially now when the peo-
pie, who have it make It up, are evezW"
where struggling TO meet the cost OF Nv

regard for the common welfare is pos
sible in Washington while the reign OF

genius of our people finds such small
expressions in the conduct of their pub
lie business.
The Tariff.
The voters of the country have often
been imposed on by tariff taxes levied
ostensibly for public revenue, but really
for private profit. But they were never
before fooled by a promise of substan
tial reductions Of these taxes broken In
their faces as soon as their votes were

the American people have not lost their

There can be no relief as long as the
