King Georges Speech

Gorgeous ceremony attended the
opening of the British Parliament by
King George. but the kings speech
was purely perfunctory and, we learn
from the London dispatch, made
small reference to the great issues
that underhe the assembling of the
members for the present session"
Yet epochal results may be wrought
by this Parliament. Upon it's DELHI
erations hangs the fate of the ancient
House of Lords-eyolution if not
revolution, in the constitutional form
of government. But with these issues
the kings speech had nothing to do
The gorgeous ceremony is the absorb
ing feature.
How sharply these circumstances
contrast with the converting of con-
gress and the presidents message! 1t
is not amiss to say that the power
and authority of the chief executive
OF this republic transcend those of
Great Britain's ruler. Our presidents
message is no mere formal court pa
per. Rather it is the expression Of
policies which are very likely to be
moulded into laws for the governing
of 100, 100000 people and back of
these recommendations dwells the
tremendous power OF the veto
But this imperial anomaly, after
an, shows that England is not as far
away from representative government
as might be supposed This we saw
perfectly well last year when the king,
at the heat of the constitutional fight
in Parliament, interpOsed no voice or
influence to shape results either way.
England is pressing steadily on TO-

UPLIFT IN TRADE MORALS.

New York Evening Post.
AS trade morals go and the ethics of
monopoly run, the action OF the Diamond
Match company in throwing open its
patent TO the use Of all manufacturers
must be thought highly commendable The
OF ject is to enable the making Of ''parlor"
matches without exposing the operatives to
the dangers OF PHOSPHORUS poisoning. But
it ought TO be a matter of course that, II
one concern had the only safe chemical
combination for making matches, and had
patented IT, the question of its exclusive
use, or of demanding royalties upon 1t,
should never come up. Where the humane
consideration IS so easily superior to the
commercial it ought to be made determin-
ing Physicians are not allowed by the
ethics of their profession to patent any
improved surgical instrument or other de-
vice that means an aid TO health. They
could make thousands Of dollars in such
ways, but they would feel ashamed to do
It, even IL they did not know that their
fellow doctors would be ashamed Of them
and would ostracize them. But where in
dustry or trade plainly touches the phys
zeal we'll being, as in the case of matches
that cause working men and women to get
