THE KINGS CIVIL LIST.

The demand of the King of Prussia
for an increase of his civil list to 5000
OnO year. which the Diet will doubt
less grant. is reminder that one OF the
first tasks of the British Parliament at
the beginning of reign is to fix the
income of the sovereign. Under the law
Tie civil list of the late sovereign is
continued unchanged for the first six
months of the new reign. but some time
before November next Parliament will
have 10 determine what allowance is
therea fter TO be made yearly TO defr3y
the personal expenses OF the King and
Queen. TO maintain the royal household
md 10 pay the various salaries and pen
sionS which are still a direct charge
against the sovereign.
Down 10 the fall Of the Stuarts the
monarch enjoyed the incomes Cf all the
crown lands, feudal rights. the income
of the postoffice. excise fees on wines
and arious taxes which were specially
voted to him for life. and out Of this
income be was expected to pay in time
of peace the cost of the Civil Service
and the rational defence. as we'll as the
expenses Of the royal household. But
after the revolution Of 1883 Parliament
restricted the revenues Of the crown
from these sources 10 about 5000, 600
81 year and appropriated 100000 to
the personal and public expenses of the
King. At the accession cf George II the
latter sum was increased 10 $4,000 600
and ar the beginning of the next reign il
was again increased, to S4.J00,00o. and
the King surrendered his interest N the
hereditary revenues.
At the beginning of the reign of VIII
inn " the civil list was radically re
vised and was put into substantially
is present form. Nearly all sources Of
revenue were surrendered by the
King and in return most Of the charges
of the civil administration previously
borne by him were assumed by Parlia-
ment. The civil list.which no longer
merited that name-was fixed at 81 $50,
600, and when Victoria came to the
throne ii was increased 10 $1.925, 900
Concurently with this surrender of
hereditary revenues The sovereign was
empowered by law TO acquire and bold
real property in the same manner as
ordinary citizens. The result is that in
addition TO the revenues of the duchy
Of Lancaster, which are the private
property Of the sovereign. amounting e.,
about 100000 year, the King owns
the estates of BalmOral and Sandrin2-
ham, which nave, of course, no connec-
ton with the civil list.
During the reign of Victoria grants
were made 10 the Prince ana Prince -
~ Wales and their children. so that at
the end of that reign the total allow
ances on account Of royalty were: The
Queens civil list. Sl,925.oo0; the Prince
of Wales, S200000: the Princess Of
Wales. S5n00o: the children of the
Iince Of Wales. $1S0,0oo; total. S2,355

control in Democratic national conven-

election returns of 1908, or he would
know that although the Southern States
and most of the Southern Congress dis
tricts are Democratic only minor frac-
ton of the Democratic party'S vote is
cast in the South. Under the new plan
the Southern States would lose repre-

The South as a whole doesn't cast as

is what Mr.. Watson intends to do: for

TIE RUE or TIE .REnS4yT.

The Hon. Thomas e, Watson, who has
lust announced that he is ready TO be
CLASSIFIED once more as Democrat, sug-
sests 2 plan for the management Of the
Democratic party which would soon

Ike an organization as the Pcpulist
household which he has just left. The
Georgia statesman wants 70 have the
South control the Democracy, since the
south is called upon 10 furnish four
ffths Of the party's representation in
Congress and. on the average. about the
same proportion Of its electoral votes.
The Southern States are in 3 minority
IN Democratic national conv ventions,
however for all the states are repre-
sented there on the basis of population.
mr. Watson has conceived the original
notion Of shifting control from the North
20 the South by persuading the Southern
STATES 10 hold a separate national con-
,ention for the purpose Of laying down
a new and more beneficial rule of rep
resentation. That rule. he suggests,

Republican national organization and
almost adopted by the last Republican

10 the Southern States Mr.. Watson
seems to think that because such an ap-
portiOnment would give :: securer con-
troll Of the Republican party 60 the Re-
publican voters of the North it would
similarly help the Democratic voters Of
the South 10 obtain control of the Demo
cratic party. He saws:
This rule is absolutely fair and Just

aster at Whtehaven, England. British
engineering and medical papers lay
stress on the delay in the arrival of ap-
paratus for rescue work after the er
plosion. Thirty hours elapsed before
oxygen helmets for that benedcept ser
vice were received. The opinion is ex-
pressed that very few Of the I3e i'm
prisoned miners were killed outright and
that most of them might have been
saved by prompt efforts at extrication.
When, however. the helmets finally came,
it had been decided that the mine must
be sealed to check the fire The miners
were therefore left 10 their fate.
is there no lesson for American mine
owners in this pitiful bit of history ?
The mortality from mine accidents in
the United States exceeds that of any
other country. Some day. perhaps. this
unfortunate distinction will no longer be
borne. Preventive measures of various
kinds may ia time reduce the number of
explosions and caye-ins. though there il
no prospect of such an Improvement at
present. The next best thing, apparent
ly, is TO minimize the effects by adont.
ing better life saving methods. One of
the most modern and most valuable
agents that can be employed in the res
cue of miners is device somewhat re-

"cARL scHURz PARK" MOVEMENT

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: About two years ago I wrote let
ter to some Of the newspapers in this city
suggesting on behalf of the United Ger
man Societies that the name Of the EAs'
River Park os changed to carl scnur2
Park" This suggestion vas most favora~
bly, received, but owing 70 verious cdrcum'
stances X could not. at that time, be actu-
ally carried out AT that time, among
others. the late Richard Watson Glider
warmly indorsed the proposition in let
ter in which he wrote:
see that our German fellow citizens
urge the naming of New York city PARK
i'm honor Of Carl Schurz. Th1S IS haiuI VI u
and commendable. But none VIII oe quichse ss

and wish TO see every possible honor pc

Recently the United German Societies
adonted further resolutions in cCnsonahce
with those of two years ago, and the mat
ter has now so far advanced that the COM
mittee on Streets. Highways. etc, or tie
present Board OF Aldermen has taken IL III
hand seriously, and with the cooperation
of the press and prominent citizens the
desired result can therefore now, no DOUBT
be accomplished.
The first park of old New York which
was laid out on the East River was. al
that time not inappropriately called East
River Park In the course Of time. how
ever. other parks sprang up on the Eas'
River front, such as Corlears Hook ParK'
I'm the south: John Jay Park, between i6tn
and 18TH streets, and Thomas JEFFERSON
Park in the northern part Of Manhattan
island, as also more recently a park on
18th and 18th streets and Avenue g We
have therefore five parks Which mlSh'
properlv be called East River parks. Our
SUGGESTION therefore goes simply 20 q
change Of name in The one park which Is
specifically known as East River Park. and
which designation IS, under the circun'-
stances. no longer appropriate while no
name. surely, could be more acceptable
than carl Schurz Park.
