HOW EDWARD VII
ECLIPSED WILLIAM III

At the accession of Edward VII the
supreme figure in world politics was
William II. The British sovereign
ousted the German Emperor from that
to whom the rivalry between these po-
tentateS was of crucial Importance.
Rightly or wrnogly, the great Partisan
dailies have satisfied themselves and
their readers that but for the influence
Of King Edward there never would
have been a cordial understanding
between London and Paris. At the
time of his grandmother's death, Will
liam ii had the appearance OF taking
his uncle under his wing. Indeed,
after the state funeral. a foreign am
baSSador declared openly TO a group
of princes and diplomats that the EN-
peror William alone had the appear
ance of being at home and that he
might be mistaken for the heor." The
history of Edwards reign was one
of the reversal of this relative impor-
lance Of these two men. 1t was eff
fected by the late Kings perfect
tact" Quietness was his note" Ed
ward neither wrote nor spoke much.
He never yielded to the temptation of
uttering oracles. He preached no ser
mons, delivered no lectures on history
and INDUCED in no theological defini-
tons. HE never spoke either of Ham
murabi or of Baruch. His sense of ex-
listing realities prevented him from
invoking the memory of the HOhen-
staufens. If he had thought it right
to refer to Waterloo, he would have
been careful not to attribute all the
merit of victory to the heroic resist
ance of Wellington" For the very
reason that, unlike William II. Ed
ward VII never posed as IAN intellec-
tual," modern France, in the opinion
of the French dailies, may be said to
have lost her best friend.-Current
Literature (June).

OMNIBUS BILL

$20,000,000.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Special
With just five votes in opposition. the
House, at 1855 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing passed the omnibus public build
ings bill, authorizing the expenditure
of nearly $2O,OOO,O 900.
1t went through under suspension
OF the rules. There was no opportu-
nifty Afforded for amendment No
single item in the bill could have been
passed upon separately. 1t was swaI-
lowed as a whole amid scenes of
great and noisy rejoicing, and the few
who took the floor against it were
howled down, derided, greeted with
storms of mock applause and all but
insulted.
Not in many years has a night ses-
sion OF Congress been marked by such
demonstration. The House seemed
to have gone money-mad and every
member, apparently, would have sat
there until daylight patiently waiting
the moment for the opening of the

ity OF Congress to business. 1t show
