"A distinguished Journalist of lan

foreign power, the southern section of
the union would have to be reckoned

this Memorial Day. offlcially dedicated
to the fallen heroes of one army, the

In that stubborn contention could be
mustered on earth, and could witness
the complete obliteration of every sign,
token and Issue of domestic strife, and
realize, on the living do, the full mean
ing of the conclusive result reached
thirty-one years ago, it may be doubted
whether the exultation of the one side
would, in sincerity and universality,
exceed the satisfaction of the other
plde. I say 'satisfaction' advisedly,
for, since no man can be expected to
exult In his own defeat, a stronger ex
pression might not precisely lit the case.
P.ut I do declare thati among the sur
vivors of those who fought so well,
from Big Bethel In 1861, to Appomattox
in 1865. and their descendants, there is
now but one feeling, and that of
- thankfulness to God that Ho laid the
wilirht of His hand upon the southern
confederacy, and preserved the Ufa of

BELIEVES IN JINGOISM.
"I was over herejtM afterthat dread
ful Btruggle a very ragged rebel. In
deed and was not long discovering that
such trivial distinctions as federal and
confederate were Greek to the average
European mind. All of us, southerners
and northerners alike, all of us were
Yankees. I took the hint, and, with it
the shortest cut I could, back to the
protecting folds of the Hag under which
I was born, and I found there the she!
tor so ample and restful, so comforting
nnd so comfortable that I clung to it,
froze to it, and have ever since been
advising the boys, old and young, to
follow my example.
"With all deference to my very old
and dear friend, the ambassador, and
to the sentiments uttered by the emi
nent senator from Massachusetts, I
confess that I am a jingo, but you will
be assured that I mean no discourtesy
to those of our English friends who
have honored us by their presence,
when I tell you and them, that it was
from England I learned the lesson and
Cot the cue. Let me hasten to add
that there Is no possession which Eng
land has that America wants: The
world is quite big enough for both of
us. But nothing is gained to either by
seeking to sonceal the fact, that behind
the party leaders and the public jour
nals, here today and gone tomorrow,
there are millions of people who may
not with safety be ignored and vast In
terests which can only be secured by
a policy of firm, enlightened self-asser
tion, equally plain-spoken on both
sides.
', TRIBUTE TO ENGLAND.
' "The greatness and glory of England
go without -saying. It should need no
elf-seeking tlunkeylsm eager for social
' recognition, nor any resonant lipservlce
lellghted to have an audience and re
joicing in the sound of its own voice,
to impress upon intelligent English
men the truth, that no intelligent
American desires any other than the
most constant, the most cordial rela-

There are indeed shrines here where wo
worship; founts whence we have
drawn thirst-quenching draughts of
liberty and poetry and law. But the
talk about common Institutions and a
vuiiiiuuit AuuguHKe is cneap taut, anu,
in some respects, misleading talk.
The common language did not prevent
us from going to war on two occa
lone, and enables us when out of tem
per to express ourselves the more volu
bly and the more offensively. The com
mon Institutions, where they do not ex
pose to us conflicting interests, are
rather imaginary than real. We are of
common origin and blood undoubtedly,
and that means that we are good fight
' era, who may be counted on, each to
stand by hs own; and consequently.
as this circumstance has come to be
tolerably well understood on both sides
of the Atlantic, we are hearing a good
121
' deal about a
tlonal ethics,
I you will whlc
tL FAVOR
deal about a new principle of Interna
, or jurisprudence, tr what
which they call arbitration.
FAVORS ARBITRATION.
"Well, I am for 'arbitration.' I am
for arbitration just as I am for religion
and morality and Justice, and all other
good things that sound well and cost
little. But, who ever heard of religion
or morality or justice interposing to
prevent the church your church or my
church from doing, as an aggregation,
what no honest man would willingly
io as an individual. Nations, I fear,
are no better than churches, and, whilst
, . arbitration may work very well as a
preventive, it will, when the disorder
. has struck In or become chronic, prove
Ineffectual as a cure. Then It Is that
the body politic, tat body corporate,
requires blood-letting; and blood let
ting It will surely have.
Not until man ceases to litigate will
be cease to fight, When courts, of law
are abolished and lawyers are turned
Into darning needles; when Journalists
exheange their, functions as preachers
sometimes exchange their pulpits; when
rival merchants will not permit one an
other to undersell thou- wares; In short,
when the Hon and the lamb have con
cluded to pool their issues and to lie
down to pleasant dreams, we shall have
that peace on earth, good will to men.

ors' rights, so ardently Invoked on this
side of the ocean by Mr. Cobden and
Mr. Bright, and, on our side, by Mr.
Cleveland, to be applauded and denied,
when opportunity has offered, on both
sides.
WAR NOT THE GREATEST EVIL.
"War is certainly a dreadful alterna
tives-He who has seen It, and who
knows what It actually means, can
look upon It only -with horror. But
there are yet greater evils to mankind
than war, whose elimination from hu
man experience makes the emascula
tion of the human species simply a
question of timet It was the heroic
spirit of the Anglo-Saxon races which
placed England where sho Is today, and
her warriors are no more to be for
gotten than her sages forgotten if at
all at her peril. It Is to this same mar
tial spirit that the American union
owes all that It is, and on which It must
rely to maintain all thut it has. It is
certainly true that these two great na
tions occupy a position strong enough
to rule the destinies of the world; but
they are not likely to agree upon terms
until Englishmen And as much to thrill
and exalt them at Mount Vernon as
Americans And to thrill and exalt them
at Stratford-on-Avon. Till then,
thanking God that I am an Anglo-Saxon,
and glorying in the achievements
of my race, visible everywhere in this
wondrous land, I must rest upon the
answer made by John Adams to George
HI., when the king reminded him that,
having been born an English subject,
he ought to love England: "Sire," said
the sturdy old Republican, "Sire, I love
no country except my own."

QUEEN VICTORIA
BELOVED BY ALL
Soon to Celebrate the 59th Auiverury

LONGEST ONE IN ENGLISH HISTORY
Popularity of Queen Victoria Among
All ClasseThe Purity of Her Life
as Mother, Wife and Qnoen-Hcr
Strict Impartiality In Polities ond
Close Adherence to the Constitn
tlonAnecdotes Descriptive of Iter
Early Life.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Early one sunny June morning,, while
the grass) was still wet wltb the dews of
night, there rode post haste up the ave
nue of elms that led toKenslnrton Palace
a pair of distinguished visitors. One was
Dr. Howley. archbishop of Canterbury:
the other tho. Marquis of Oonyngham,
then Lord Chamberlain. Though Ken
sington today is In the heart of London,
at that time It was a seoluded, country
place. They knocked and they rang and
they thumped, but no one was astir.
At last a sleepy domestlo was aroused
and a message taken to the attendant of
the Princess Victoria that they desired
an audience with her royal highness on
business of Importance. After consider
able the Intendent Informed them that
the princess was In, such a sweet sleeep
that she could not venture to disturbs
her. They then sold: "We are come on
business of state to the queen, and even
her sleeep must give way to thart," The
attendant left them, and In a few min
utes later a fair-haired girl of IS came
Into the room "In a loose white night
gown and shawl, her night cap thrown
off and her hair falling upon hr should
ers, her feet In slippers, itears in her
eyes, but perfectly collected and digni
fied." That was. fifty-nine years ago,
and the fair-haired girl was Queen
Victoria.
At the council which followed at 12
o'oloclt the same day she presided with
as much ease as if Bhe had been doing
nothing else all her life. Mil. Qrevllle,
who was present says: "She looked
very well; and though so small In stat
ure,, and without much pretenslonto
beauty, the gracefulness of her manner
and the good expression of her counten
ance give her, on the whole, a very
agreeable appearance, and, with her
youth, inspire an excessive Interest In
all who approached her. In
short, she appears to act with every sort
of good taste and good feeling, as well
as good sense."
HER BIRTH.
Queen Victoria first saw the light In
Kensington Palace on the 24th of May,
1819. She Is the only child of Edward,
Duke of Kent, fourth son of fleorge III.,
and of the Princess Louisa Victoria of
Saxe-Coburg. Abraham Lincoln was
then a 10-year-old boy, Gladstone ran
about In short pants with frills to
them and probably trundled a hoop,
while Lord Salisbury had not as yet
come Into existence. The Duke of Wel
lington was fresh from his triumphs at
Waterloo, and Daniel Webster was in
the zenith of his fame. The Income
voted the young queen by the first par
liament, which she opened in person a
few months after her accession was $1,
925,000 a year. The speaker truly said
In presenting the bill to her majesty
that "it had been framed in a liberal
and confiding spirit."
Many sayings of the queen as a
young woman have been preserved,
showing the trend of her early ideas,
and her high sense of honor. On one
occasion a minister told her majesty
that she need not scruple to sign a
paper without examination as It was
not a matter of "paramount Import
ance." "But it Is for me," she replied,
"a matter of paramount Importance
whether or not I attach my signature
to a document with which I am not
thoroughly satisfied." No less deter
mined was her reply to the same min
ister when urging the expediency of
some measure: "I have been taught,
my lord, to judge between what is
right and what is wrong; but expedi
ency is a word I neither wish to hear
nor to understand,"
HER MARRIAGE.
On the 10th of February, 1810, Vic
toria married her cousin, Prince Albert
of Suxe-Coburg-Gottaa with whom she
had long been deeply In love. It prov
ed as every one knows a most happy
union. Prince Albert was elngularly
handBome, graceful and gifted, and
made an ideal husband. During their
twenty-one years of wedded life thry
were blessed with nine children four
sons and five daughters.
Of the sons all are living except Leo
pold, Duke of Albany, who died In 1884.
Of the daughters, the eldest married
Frederick William, the late Emperor of
Germany. The second, known as Prin
cess Alice, who became the wlfo of
Prince Frederick-William of Hesse.dled
in 1878. The Princess Helena married
Prince Christian, of Denmark. Prln
cess Louise became" the wife of the
Marquis of Lorne, and the youncest
Princess Beatrice, married Prince Hen
ry of Battenberg, who died" recently
while taking part In a military expeai
tion on the west coast of Africa.
ATTEMPTS ON HER LIFE.
Notwithstanding the popularity of
Queen Victoria her life has been at
tempted more thon once. In June, 1840,
Edward Oxford, a eraiy lad of 17, fired
two shots at her as she was driving
with Prince Albert up Constitution Hill,
a road leading through one of the Lon
don parks. Both shots were fired de
liberately, but fortunately missed their
aim. Oxford was arrested and tried
but proved to be Insane and was sent
to an asylum.
Two years later a man named John
Francis, the son of a machinist, fired
a pistol at her as she was driving down
Constitution Hill In the very same place
where Oxford's attempt was made. He
was condemmed to be hanged for the of
fense, but at the request of Her Majesty
the sentence was commuted to trans
portation for life. The very day after
this mitigation of punishment became
publicly known another attempt was
made by a hunchbacked lad named
Bean. He was seized In the act of pre
senting a pistol at the queen as rhe was
driving from Buckingham palace to the
Chapel Royal. The weapon was loaded
with powder, paper, closely rammed
down, and some scraps of a clay pipe.
He received eighteen months' imprison
ment. In May, 1849, an Irish bricklayer
named Hamilton fired a pistol loaded
only with powder at her majesty-on
Constitution Hill, and in the following
May, Robert Pate, once a lieutenant of
Hussars, struck here in the face with a
stick. Each of these men received
seven years' Imprisonment.
Finally in 1872 a lad of 17 named Ar
thur O'Connor presented a' pistol at
her majesty as she was entering Buck
ingham palace on her return from a
drive. It proved to be unloaded, how-
i ever. In his other hand O'Connor Held
Genuine Cottolene has
The
Chicago, "-'
a petition on behalf of the Fenian prlsH
oners. He was given twelve months'
Imprisonment and a whipping.
None of these attempts had any po
litical significance and were In nearly
every case the result of a crazy desire
lor notoriety.
AFFAIRS OF STATE
As Justin McCarthy farlly states In
his "History of Our Own Times:" ".The
sovereign is always supposed to under
stand the business of the state, to con
sider its affairs, and to offer an opinion,
ana enforce It by argument, on any
question submitted by the minister
When the ministers find that they can
not allow 'their Judgment to bend to that
of their sovereign, then Indeed the sov
ereign gives way or the ministers re
ign. In. all ordinary cases the sov
ereign gives way." Queen Victoria,
while carefully adhering to the consti
tution, has never allowed herself to be
come In any sense a mere figurehead.
One of her first acts after the resigna
tion of Lord Melboburne as prime min
ister, when she sent for Sir Robert Peel,
was to tell him "that she was sorry to
have to part with her late ministers, of
whose conduct she entirely approved,
but that fche was bound to constitu
tional usage."
The memorandum which she caused
Lord John Kussell to convey to Lord
Palmerston in 1850 shows that she
thoroughly understood her rights as
well as her obligations. Lord Palmer
ston had acquired a habit of "dealing
with foreign courts according to what
seemed best to him at the moment, and
his sovereign and his colleagues often
only knew of some important dispatch
or instruction when the thing was done,
and could not be conveniently or be
comingly undone," a habit of which the
queen had several times complained.
Her majesty. In her memorandum, In
timated in ilain terms that she wished
to know before hand what he proposed
to do in a given case that she might
know as distinctly to what she had
given her royal sanction. She further
intimated that once given her sanction
to a measure, any arbitrary alteration
or modification of it by the minister
would be considered as a failure In sin
cerity towards the crown, Justly to be
visited by the exercise of her constitu
tional right of dismissing that minis
ter. (ANECDOTES.
Many anecdotes are told, showing
that though punctilious in matters of
ceremony and careful to exact the re
spect due to her exalted position, she
is above all an honest, loving' woman
of simple but refined tastes. Prior to
her marriage the archbishop of Can
terbury asked her whether it would be
desirable to omit the word "obey" from
the marriage service, and she answered:
"I wish to be married as a woman, not
as a queen."
To show how particular the queen
has been In the proper education of her
children a sailor once carried one of the
queen's daughters on board the royal
yacht. As he sat her down on the deck
he said: "There you are, my little
lady." The child, who had not liked
being carried, shook herself and said:
"I am not a little lady; I'm a princess."
Her mother, who overheard her daugh
ter's speech suld quietly: "You had
better tell the kind Bailor who carried
you that you are not a little lady yet.
though you hope to be one somo day."
Another anecdote shows the firmness
of both mother nnd daughter. Hearing
their father address the family physi
cian as "Brown," the children bejran
to do the same. The queen corrected
them, and all called him Mr. or Dr.
Brown except the Princess Royal. Her
majesty heard her, and said that if she
again did so she would be sent to bed.
Nest morning the wilful child said to
the physician, "Good morning, .Brown,"
then added, seeing her mother's eyes
fixed on her, "And good night. Brown,
for I am going to bed." And to bed she
accordingly went.
In many ways her majesty attracts
and holds the affections of her people,
and especially by the simplicity and
charm of her unaffected manners. In
Edinburgh on one occasion when she
made a state entry into the city a
gentleman living near there said to the
servant:
"Well, John, did you see the queen?"
"Troth, I did that, sir."
"Well, what did you think of her,
John 7"
"Troth, sir, I was terribly feared
afore she catno forrlt my heart was
amalst In my mouth; .but when she
did come forrlt, od, I wanna feared at
a'. I JLst looklt at her, an she looklt
at me, an' she bowed her held to me,
an' I bowed my held to her.- Od, shes

pride about her at a'.

JuneT-Only one English sovereign
has occupied the throne for a longer
period than she has. George III. was
nominally king fur flfttf-nlne years,
three months and four days, though his
powers during the last nine years of
his life, were vested In his son as regent.
Henry III. comes next with a record of
fifty-six years, while Queen Elizabeth'
celebrated reign lasted only forty-four
years.
Statistics may not be Interesting, but
it requires the aid of a few figures to
show how vast and rapid has been the
development of Oreat Britain during
the fifty-nine years of Queen Victoria's
rule. In her reign the population of the
mother country has increased from
something under 26,000,000 to close on
45,000,000, and that of the colonies has
steadily grown from four millions to
seventeen millions.
As Empress of India her rule extends
over nearly 1,500,000 square miles with
a population of 275.000,000.
Englishmen and Englishwomen are
better fed, better clothed, better housed
and have twice the Income per capita
that they had fifty-nine years ago. In
the same period the deposits In the
savings banks have increased from
$70.0000.000 to over $5,000,000,000.
In education, art, literature and sci
ence the strides have been of the same
glgantlo proportions. Steamships and
railways came Into existence entirely
within her reign, while the difference
between the trade of the "thirties" and
that of (he "nineties" with Its Iron and
steel. Its cotton and woolens is the
difference between that of a petty
state and a mighty empire. The uni
versal penny postage system within the
United Kingdom, which alone has
worked a revolution in the ways of
commerce, commenced soon after her
accession. Bribery, the bane of poli
tics, has been entirely eliminated from
parliamentary elections. Statesmen
reognize the voice, and bow to the will
of the people. The greatest liberty of
tho individual consistent with the
rights of others to enjoy life undis
turbed has been developed and main
tained, and all these changes and re
forms have been quietly brought about
without those bloody revolutions which
have too ofton preceded similar ohange
in other and less happy countries.
On June 21 next the English nation,
at home and in the colonies, will cele
brate with universal rejoicing the fifty
ninth anniversary of Queen Victoria's
coronation, and thank God that during
all that long time they have lived un
der a sovereign who has never, in the
slightest degree, attempted to Interfere
with the principal of self government
Involved In parliamentary rule.
Inseparable from the glory of Vic
toria's reign is the unblemished char
acter of her stainless life. As maid,
wife and widow her example has been
one to command the respect not only of
her subjects, but of the whole world.
As Tennyson nobly puts It:
Her court was pure; her life serene;
God gave her peace; her land reposed;
A 'thousand claims to reverence closed
In her as Mother, Wife and Queen.
