In time the people took pririlegea from both. Some 50 rears Ego the crown was swept asids. and par liament beheaded its wearer. ' To take the king's place a protector" was cre ated, lie mi zed morals too roucn with governing, and the kingly oQce was re stored, but the sane questions came as before namely, the king's right to mon ey, and to ccnin-and parliament, and to fcsve his own way like hi a barbarous a2cet-,r. the Braces, Plantagenets and Tudor. Thc;y were intensified by the fact th.it the king, Junes D., was deter mined t- change the religion of the country and make it conform to that of France. wh' monarch subsidized and assist j-i thom Stuart iings. Finally the king of Holland, as we may call William of Orange, who was xaarriiHl to James' daughter, was brought into England with his army by the re bellious Protestant lords anil commons. The legitimate king was erpelled, and f his son and his grandson were called I pretenders" and treated as public ene mies, though they bad all the feudal rights to the crown. Now, tho Prince of Oran?e, who was a great politician on the continent, out bid Louis XXV for England's support. lie made "an act of settlement" givHg away his wife's absolute rights andset- tling the throne upon a German Pr t- taat Mt of princes who wer, of tl 6 English blood royal the Hanorerin electors. When the male line ran out in Hanover, as we have seen, a son of George UJ became king of Hanover again, and it was bis race whom Bis . marck drove from Hanover in 1868. The sister of Orange's wife Queen Anne came to die, and the Ermswick- i Hanoverians, or Georges, took tho throne, i They are descended from a daughter of James I, who married the German count palatinate, and in Victoria's blooi is that . of William the Silent and Luther's pro- j tector. Ministerial government from the house of commons replaced crown government in consequence of these events, and b" the close of the French revolutionary wars had become so despotic that Vic toria's predecessor had to threa ten that he would make so many peers as to over : ride the house of lords in its opposition to the reform of parliament bilL The bill recast the constituencies and boroughs of England which hfid often , been the gifts of great lords and gentry. The nation, upon a real parliamentary basis, stepped out of its feudal iind pro- prietary abuses and has since been sub ject to respected extensions of the suf- frage. Vi As Victoria's first ministerial friends were Whigs, jhe had a bias for that par ty, which was modified in subsequent years, and she liked Peel less than Pal- tnerston and filariKfnriA b tlian Din- she also eXpre8ed a dislike to making poor men peers who could not maintain the dignity of their titles. In matters of this sort her poritivo refusal might qualify the desires arid necessities of a ministry, but she knew very well that the purse strings belonged to the commons, and all the ministers did their best to provide for her son, daugh ters, sons-in-law and grandchildren, so that she had small occasion to te antag onistic. She influenced many favors, such as the ennobling of tho poet Tenny son, who so often praised her and her progeny in rhymes. Albert taught Victoria to provide for democratic or dark days by baying away money. The royal and civil list took a Large sum from the revenut every year. It was invested in stocks, lands, what ever would be guaranteed against a rainy The Prince of Wales and some oth ers were free with tneir money; the queen always provident. She leaves a gTLt rrirat fortune, Ag aI t, proceed in England not in the name of the poor le, but of the queen, j Victoria was taken into the confidence j of the lawmaking powers, ho that her in j evi table assent seemed of ten to be a ma: i ter of her own choice. But she had nev I er but once, and that in a small matter already related, shown the f atuitous and futile obstinacy of some of the Georges. She was like the queen bee in a hive- necessary to the mental w&t and satis- faction of them who work and as a wo- man (Engle-.d has always been partial to queens) she has given a softness and a chivalry, a sentiment and a fruitful- BALMORAL CASTLE. cess, to the sober and often hard aspect of the realm. That she possessed, any exceptional mentality was never probable. She took rather than pave advice and illustrated the wife's vow, wherein lies the secret of a wife's happiness, to "love, honor and obey." "I am glad I am not descended from Elizabeth, but from the queen of Scots" shows her respect for the abused wife over tho abusing virago. She was not a descendant f Henry VIII. who ex ecuted his wives, but of Henry VII and of Edward rV. Far back in her origin was the b&stnrd sonshrp of Duke William cf Normandy, and before him of Rollo and nameless Norman pirates. The extracts I have given from the queen's book are such as any young miss might have entered or any plain wife expressed. She did not challenge liter ary criticism nor pose for a member of Soros-is. In that case she would have challenged comparison with Catharine of Russia. Margaret of Valois and the other man-women cf history, Her king- dom and reign had plenty of literary ornaments George Eliot. Charlotte Bronte. Harriet Martinean.

The high i eat figure there is still like the Madonna, she who evaded no responsibility of na ture's and by her fruitful wifehood pro longed her years and lived to see her children's grandchildren. Indeed the compensations for txj queen of England are not such as a friv olous woman anywhere would long en joy. She cannot flirt the kingdom watches her. A widow at 42, she made no overtures to marry anybody. Even her confidence in her old booby, John" Brown, was liable to be misinterpreted by a low plane of English criticism. Every Vote of money to her sons-in-law was hailed with a cry in the socialistic prints of "another German e-ajing our bread." As has been shown, several attempts had been made to assassinate her. Privacy she can only have after a fashion, and there fore hies to the sparse parts of Scotland often, wher the climate is cold and show ery. She cannot leave the realm at will any more than the queen bee can leave the hive. Sometimes 6he went abroad in cognito, well watched, well begged from. Her girls were her treasures. Her boys went off and got their wives. Her eldest 6on was fond of free and vivacious com pany, and she saw most of him when he was sick. Her length of life she knew must awaken hard thoughts in them who would reign in her stead. She loved a glass of beer, but it made her fat. Her real home was Windsor castle, an hour from London, among the bones of her predecessors a dull little village dominated by an old stone palace, with a hard, treeless stone yard, but re lieved by the appendage of a fine forest. Her London palace was an old, stilted thing. Her drawing rooms were held in an old, low, brick palace, like a stable. The best the queen possessed, next to her family and her education, was the society of her distinguished subjects, who had sometimes read to her Tenny- son, Dickens, Norman McLeod, Dean Stanley. She refused to ennoble any man of the art or literary fields whose private life was tainted. A spotless walk, a domes tic diploma, she demanded from these. Her receptions were not scanned like those of some of our senatorial parve nues, to Bee if an obscure person got in, but the brazen and cunning and those made prosperous by low ways were turn ed back when the lists were scanned. She liked the Germans because they were of her lineage, the Americans be- cause they were of her race, and she be friended the French empress when 6he had nothing ambitious to hope for. Victoria's reign has been great in her subjects, in Bessemer, Bulwer, Foley. Faraday, Darwin, Tennyson. She stands above a galaxy of great gentleman like their tutelar saint. Her kingdom has had unexampled prosperity, and she had been opposed to war. We are to mention that Victoria never was born tr the crown and never was married to p king. Her father was a ruined younger son of a king; her husband the younger son of a poor German duka The vices of her uncles emptied the throne of good pos terity and let her up. She married be fore she was spoiled, and her husband was her own cousin." How many private lives are there demure and acquiescent? She has proved that "the meek shall in herit the earth." The woman who paid her deceased father's debts in a spirit of honor he did not have became empress of 800,000,000 of the oldest people and princes in the world. Had Victoria disdained her friend Leo pold's advice to marry his nephew Al bert, the perils and flatteries of court so ciety might have made her another Eliz abeth, but she hearkened to advice and blessed the poor young man with her hand and awoke to the blessings of na ture in smiling babes and the dignity of a large motherhood. Eugenie with one babe mourn3 his barbarous death. Queen Isabella of Spain loses her crown and is an exile from her son. Victoria, molded by the hand of love and husbandry, sur vived every contemporary of her corona tion and takes precedence of the women of all the world. "Three queens, say the English, "Elizabeth, Anne, Victoria, have given us our greatest reigns." It is high treason in the queen to be unchaste. She would be tried by the peers. She pays no toll, is relieved from amercement in any court. Her husband, however, d es not commit high treason if unfaithful A ' Victoria surrendered at the commence ment of her reign her hereditary revenues for the sum of nearly $3,000,000 per an num. Of this her purse received direct $300,000, her house and household $1, 115,000; for alms, the court, etc., the re mainder. Her probable personal income was $500,000 a year clear, 10 times our president's, not including her own prop erty. The Prince of Wales receives $200,000, bid wife $50,000, and each of the family a liberal provision. Pensions of $6,000 a year she was allowed to give amounted in 1892 to $125,000. She there fore handled $2,050,000 a year. Vic toria's refusal to change the official la dies of the bedchamber in 1839 led to the prolongation of Melbourne's ministry till 1841, covering the period of Victoria's courtship and marriage. Victoria lost by death in 1878 her daughter, Alice of Hesse; the Duke of Albany, Leopold, in 1881, and the Duke of Clarence, her grandson. She had 18 administrators -or premiers Mel bourne, Peel, Russell twice; Derby three times; Abr-deen, Palmerston twice; Dis raeli twice; Gladstone four times; Salis bury twice She was called "the most constitutional monarch England has ever seen." The Prince of Wales has visited the United States, the Holy Land and India. was field marshal of the army and grand i master of the Masons.

In her colonies were some 220.000,000. The revenues for the state were $450,000,000. GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND.. REPUBLICAN MORMONS A Combination Totmd by the - Mark Bnn Outfit -to Encourage Polyjf- amy In the United States. ' A spirited incident occurred in the senate last week "when the legislative bill was taken up. Mr. Rawlins (Utah) read a newspaper article saying there was a combination formed in the Utah legislature to elect Mr, Kearns sena tor, and that it was being forwarded by the Mormon church, which was now working with : the republican party. He intimated that the church had rf eeiyed certain promises from the re publicans relative to the practice of polygamy, and he said he thought a voice should go out from Washington in condemnation of the proceeding. A republican paper of the gentile perjsuasion at Salt Lake makes still stronger charges than Mr. Rawlins. Tae Salt Lake Tribune of the 23d in speaking of this alliance for poly gamy's sake between the Mormon church and the repubircans says that "the. republicans of Uth who believe in decency, personal honor and Ameri can manhood, who have high respect for the exalted office of United States senator, and who believe attainment of that office should be in honor, desire to make clear to the country the fact that the senatorship from Utah has been purchased, and purchased direct ly from the head of the Mormon church. - ''' 1 "They desire to announce to the people of Utah and the United States that the head of the Mormon church, .who has since he has held his high office repeatedly announced that the church and state in Utah shall hence forth be separated, could not resist the first, substantial material offer made him to unload , some unproductive property, even if in doing so he had to eat his own professions and pro claim abject obedience of his people. "The people of Utah and of the United States will take notice that statehood vwas obtained for Utah on falsehoods and false .pretenses; that every promise made by the chiefs of the Mormon church has been violated, and that the wlll-of God, as taught by the church president, can be obtained for a cash consideration. "It is useless, at least at thi3 time, to expatiate on .the candidate whose place was purchased at the cost of dishonor of the head of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day' saints." The fact that Perry Heath went to Utah under the direction of Mark Hau na and bought the vote of that state by a deal with the Mormon authorities before the election Is old news to the readers of The Independent, but the slow-going dailies , and U. S. sen ate have got around to it at last. Months ago The Independent told its readers all about it. The only news for our readers in the above is the fact that some of the dailies have at last found it out, and for that element of news alone is It printed. County Assessor Editor Independent i Enclosed you wli! find' $1.00 to advance my subscrip tion for another year as I could not do without The Independent. I consider it the ablest paper published. One item in Hardy's column I wish to reply to and that is the advocacy of one assessor for the whole county. In my opinion it would not do. In the first place it would create another county officer to fight over in the old way and set from 12 to 20 men in the county to fighting over a little pay, mostly farmers. If only one, he would not do the work as cheaply as in the old way. Then you could not get a just assessment of the county with only one assessor. It would take him too long to get over the county. I could fatten my stock and sell pub licly before he would get around to my place, thereby depriving the county of a just tax, or he might assess my stock in April and In June I would sell them to my neighbor in another part of the county and when he went there he would want to assess them over again. So you see it would not do. JAMES BURHAM. Calvert, Neb. To Cure Cold In one Day. Take Laxative Bromo . Quinine Tab lets. All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. E. W.

Reorganizing Editor Independent: I have been thinking for some time of writing a few lines to state my views of tho present situation. , I have seen much In some papers about the necessity of re organizing the democratic party, and in others that it did not need reorgan izing. I agree with the latter. They may reorganize for years to come and be defeated worse than ever. Not that the democratic doctrine is not right, but the name will defeat any true doc trine. On the other hand they can very easily build up an empire or mon archy with the name republican. If any one wants the reason for my sen timents I think I can give them. I am an old republican fifty years a settler of this county, and voted for Lincoln the second time he ran ! for president. The Independent is my choice of papers. L. ENWALL. Fairfield, Neb. War Taxes The senate has made a lot of amend ments to the house bill reducing the war taxes. The senate amendments in short are as follows: , Stamp taxes repealed: Promissory notes, mortgages, -bills of lading for export, powers of attorney, prote&t, charter party, certiflcatesi of all kind3, leases, warehouse receipts, telegraphic dispatches, telephonic messages, pass age tickets costing less than $30, x press receipts, freight receipts, bonds except bonds of indemnity, legacies to religious, charitable, literary or edu cational institutions. Special taxes repealed: Commer cial brokers. . . Taxes reduced: Conveyances, insur ance, bankers,! capital, proprietary medicines, cigars, tobacco and beer.

Perhaps these manufac turers did not send Mark Hanna checks of sufficient size during the campaign and are now made to pay the penalty for their insubordination. Common Sense - Editor Independent: The newspa per reports state that some of the fu sion members of the legislature are opposed to the plan of combining with the republicans and electing one re publican and one fusionist. From the number of fusionists I have heard t speak of it, I am satisfied that a vast majority, or all of the , fusionists in this vicinity would approve of any combination by 'which a . fuslonlst could be elected to the senate. We have no fusion legislator from this district, and thinking that you might be able to help matters If you knew the senti ments of the people I have written. W. E. BILETER. ; Ainsworth, Neb.
