THE WEAK POINT OP UOYALTT.
Among other things the? dangerous
Illness of King Edward VII. brings
at the Inheritently weak olivt in rhe
whole nwmarchial system, and demon
strates it to be the anachronism it .is
In the twentieth century even when
under existing circumstances that rob
tt of almost all it original lowers. It
Is common to say in Kngland that
the WiiR reigns and the people rule.
It is true, too, but nevertheless it is
possible for the king so interfere with,
the rule of the people in a way most
disastrous to the public Interests. The
Janger was minimised during the
reign of Queen Victoria, both because
she was a woman, and because for a
generation or more, at any rate, it
was known that her not Inconspicuous
Abilities were mated to a wisdom and
patriotism that must prove a help
rather than a detriment to the govern
ment if her help w?re needed. And so
with the present king. His long ap
prenticeship as Prince of Wales taade
ttfm familiar with the things he would
have to do sj king, and with the tem
perament and desires goveriimentally
of the people who permitted him to
occupy the position of titular head
f the British Empire. But it is dif
ferent with his son, who, should he
die, will at one succeed to the tiirone.
The young man la 37, was brought up
as a sailor in the royal navy, is hap
pily married and has three children.
He Is of good character and at least
fair intelligence. But if he were of
bad character and small intelligence
lie would Still succeed to the throne.
Sometime ago a newspaper Id com
menting on the facial expression of a
noted priieflghter said it was almost
Jraman. Of a kindred character are
aome of the comments of the news
paper on the Prince of Wales. One
rejoices that he has shown a capacity
fur tta-ming opinions of bis own, and
another is Jubilant beta use he can
speak a littl etxemporaneously, while
the exultation over the fact that he
actually learned his business as a
aailor and won his present rank right
fully is in a sense pathetic. His
countrymen, or his " subjects," as he
would call them, give thanks -that his j
educational and o4hT useful equipment
was received when he was not the
Prince of Wales, and therefore had to
be fitted, to discharge the duties and
bligatlons common to most men. The
Duke of Clarence, older brotiher of the
wresent Prince of Wales, who died
some ten years ago, was known as
" Collars and Cuffs," because of thelria to Portland, inclusive, on July
extremes to which he went in the and 4. at rate of cne fare for th(?
dudish apparel of the day. If such a
person had succeeded to the English
throne, and particularly in the hey
day of his career as a young man about
town, without any restraints whatever,
the remit could not have been scarce
ly less than degrading to the English1
people. And If the evils resjl'ing
from such a succession were confined
to Its personally humiliating aspects,
the country would have occasion to be
proud that Its system of constitution-
al government was strong enough to
counteract the evils It is in the pow.-r
even of a masquerading monarch to
Inflict. When England assumes the
name, as well as the form of a liberty-
loving republic, the beginning of the
end of n'll monarchlal forms of govern-
men shall have come for the old
world. Ex.

With tho surrender of the Boers
Great Britain acquires undisputed title
to 167,405 additional square miles of

paid heavily for this fiesiv acquisition

boundary line controversy which has
been the source of endless annoyance.

The rapidly Increasing use of shin
gles as covering for the walls of build
ings, both to keep out the weather and
for ornamental purposes, makes a
great demand for a shingle stain which
preserves the wood, prevents moss, and
retains a fresh, handsome appearance.
Particularly is such the case In damp
climates. The need is well met in a
perfect article made right here In As
