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

rights to the crown.

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

to the reform of parliament bilL
The bill recast the constituencies and
boroughs of England which hfid often

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.

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

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

upon us domestic civilization. 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

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.

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.

opposed to the plan of combining with

NorwaUc, Conn., writes: "Peruna has
done wonders for; my boy. I cannot
praise It" enough.' I think it is i;he
best medicine on earth j let me tell
you why I think 'so : My son- has
been afflicted with catarrh since he
was a baby five months bid, so that
for years I had to watch him all nig;ht
long, and keep his mouth open so he
could ..breathe, as he could not breathe
through his nose. He has always been
very delicate.
"Since he commenced takine the Pe
runa I can go to bed and sleep all night.
He can breathe through his nose anr
way he lies, and all that hawking and
spitting is gone. My boy is as well
today as when 5 he left oU taking it,
and he only took one bottle."
T. T. Llenallen, a prominent voune
lawyer of Washington, D. C, and broth
er or w. O. Hen-
alien, in the U.S.
document room,
has taken Peruna
for catarrh and
speaks of its ef
ficacy in the fol
lowing words.
Mr. L ie nail en
says: - "I an
happy to write
you that I am
cured of what I
thought, as well'
as my doctors, an everlasting case of
catarrh, and take pleasure in saying that
Peruna has done it all."
Any one who wishes perfect
health must be entirely free from
catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh uni
versal ; almost omnipresent. Pe
runa is the only absolute safe
guard known. A cold is the be
ginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat ca
tarrh out of its victims. Peruna
not only cur.-, catarrh, but pre
vents it. Every household should
be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds, etc.
Address The Peruna Medicine Co,
Columbus, Ohio, for a free book on
catarrh.
