The occasion of King Edward’s birthday on Mon day last was characterised by a spontaneous out burst of loyalty in all parts of the British Empire, and many of our London contemporaries published articles eulogising the monarchical system as it is understood and carried into effect in the United Kingdom. The ventilation of this highly interesting subject resulted in a revelation of the fact that Re publicanism is practically t dead throughout the Em pire, though many people not yet past middle age can remember a time when Republicanism was an eminently potential factor in English politics, and when it appeared by no means impossible, that the Monarchy, as it is now known, would pass away. This condition certainly does not prevail today. There is no lack of visionaries in England who have at their finger-tips all manner of Utopian schemes for the political and social regeneration of the country; yet amidst all the clamour of Socialists and other re formers it is the rarest thing to hear a single voice raised in sincere denunciation of the Monarchy. Two or three decades back there was a strong party in favour of Republicanism, chiefly composed of leading intellectual lights and men deeply versed in the ar gumentative art, who were prepared to give chapter and verse for their advocation of the Republican system as opposed to the monarchical. This party is no longer represented by even a single man of intellect; its cloak has, it is true, descended upon the unworthy shoulders of agitators of the Grayson stamp, but such*'irresponsible' demagogues are not to be taken in the least degree seriously. Thought ful English folk are, almost without exception, fer vid supporters of the monarchical system, their con viction being based upon grounds of the most sub stantial nature. The upright life and mature wis dom of the late Queen Victoria did much to iix the Throne upon a firm foundation. That Her Majesty played an infinitely important part in the internal and foreign policy of her country than was hitherto supposed is clearly revealed by that very remarkable work, “The Letters of Queen Victoria,” whose pub lication recently aroused widespread interest. These letters exhibit numerous instances of the Royal lady’s deep interest in the nation’s welfare, and have done more to open the eyes of English people to the true character of their late revered Sovereign than^'all the encomiums penned since her death. Until quite recently it was the custom in England to think of the late Queen as a gentle lady who held herself rigidly aloof from political questions, content to leave the nation’s affairs in the hands of her advisors. This belief is effectually shattered by the “Letters” to which we have referred, and their publication has had the effect of rendering the late Queen’s me mory even more sacred in the hearts of her people. Regarded in the light of these revelations, King Edward’s activity in the foreign policy of England becomes less surprising. He is, as a matter of fact, treading closely in the footsteps of his exalted mother, though circumstances have naturally given him greater scope for the exercise of those states manlike qualities that are " his by heredity. One of our contemporaries recalls the saying in the days when superior persons talked of the Monarchy as an interesting anachronism, that if a Republic was ever established in England, the present King would infallibly be elected as the first President. The Bri tish people have since learned to appreciate the im mense advantages conferred on them by having His Majesty at the head of affairs, and no person with any claim to sanity would advocate a change that offered the slightest prospect of losing these ad vantages. The heated strife of parties in the United Kingdom rages very furiously at times, and most institutions have at one time or other suffered from trenchant criticism. To this rule the Monarchy is the sole exception, and it has attained this remark able position solely through its remarkable success. Opinions may be divided as to the benefits enjoyed by the nation in consequence of King Edward’s ac tivity in connection with the foreign policy of Great Britain, but it cannot be denied that the position of that country in its relation to the European Powers has developed most favourably since the present mo narch’s accession. Formerly in a precarious posi tion of “splendid isolation,” England has now nu merous friends on the Continent, and for Englishmen H. G. B. Peters Established 1885. Furriers Exclusively.

We venture to express the universal hope that King Edward the Seventh will be spared for many years to stand at the helm of the British State, which he has so ably helped to guide through dif ficult shoals during his brief but highly successful reign. GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. ANOTHER LIGHTNING CRUISER. London, November 10. The new battleship-cruiser “Invincible” returned to Plymouth last night on completion of an eight- hours’ full-power trial. She steamed for eight hours at an average speed of 28 knots, and at one point a speed even exceeding this was obtained. The de signed speed of the “Invincible” is 25 knots. Her sister ship, the “Indomitable” was reported to have exceeded 28 knots on her voyage across the Atlantic on the return of the Prince of Wales from Canada. THE ATTEMPTED INDIAN ASSASSINATION. HEROISM OF AIM AMERICAN. London, November 10. Reuter's correspondent in a detailed message states that the attempt to murder the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal was made on Saturday evening by a Ben gali on the occasion of a lecture by Professor Bur ton, of Chicago University, at Overtoun Hall, Nor thern Calcutta. Sir Andrew Fraser, accompanied by the Maharajah of Burdwan and Mr. Barber, the Y.M.C.A. secretary, was stepping on to the dais, when a young man, who afterwards gave the name of Roy Chowdhury, rushed up, thrust a revolver within six inches of Sir Andrew Fraser’s body, and pulled the trigger twice. Luckily the cartridges miss ed fire. Mr. Barber, who is an American, flung him self on the assassin, Who savagely struck him on the head with his revolver, inflicting a severe wound. Meanwhile the Maharajah of Burdwar, a man of great stature and strength, interposed his body be tween Sir Andrew Fraser and the assassin, and then bodily seized the Lieutenant-Governor and swung him through the door out of harm’s way. While Mr. Barber was struggling with the assassin, a group of Bengalis occupying front chairs rushed violently out of the hall and escaped. It is believed that they were present in order to assist Chowdhury in his nefarious design. After Chowdhury had been finally secured the lecture proceeded. Sir Andrew Fraser was loudly cheered at his conclusion. . The correspondent adds that this is the fourth at tempt that has been made on Sir Andrew Fraser’s life. NEWS FROM AMERICA. MARRIAGE OF MR. NAT GOODWIN. Boston, November 10. The marriage is announced of Mr. Nathaniel Goocfr- win, the actor, and Miss Ena Goodrich, also well- known on the American stage. Mr. Goodwin obtained a divorce only a few weeks ago from his wire, the actress, Maxine Elliott. AMERICA’S FIRST “DREADNOUGHT” LAUNCHED. Quincy (Massachusetts) November 10. The battleship “North Dakota,” the first Ameri can ship of the Dreadnought class, was launched here today. She is 518 feet long and displaces 20,000 tons. THE RELIGION OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT. In reply to numerous correspondents who wrote criticising Mr. Taft on the ground that he is a Uni tarian, President Roosevelt has issued a letter de nouncing religious intolerance in American politics. “Mr. Taft’s religious faith,” says the President, “is purely his own private concern. Moreover, the first principles of American Government guarantee to all complete religious liberty.” “You are entitled,” the President says, writing to one correspondent, “to know whether the man seeking your suffrage is a man of clean and pure life, honourable in all his dealings with his fellows, and fit by qualification to do well in the great office for which he is a candidate, but you are not en titled to know matters which lie purely between himself and his Maker.” President Roosevelt mentioned that Roman Catho lic and Jew sit side by side in his Cabinet, and he adds his belief that as the Republic will endure for many centuries, there will doubtless be among its Presidents Roman Catholics, and very probably at some time Jews. SPEECH BY PROFESSOR HADLEY. New York, November 10. Professor Hadley, in a speech delivered yester day at Brooklyn, compared German education with American; saying that higher education is no longer ideal but thoroughly practical, and that in his opinion the German conception is superior to the American. Professor Hadley was one of the “Austausch” Pro fessors in Berlin. ANOTHER STANDARD OIL VICTORY. Chicago, November 10. The appeal of the Government made with the ob ject of carrying on proceedings against the Standard Oil Company has been dismissed by the Appellate Di vision of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Federal Court in July last overruled the de cision of Judge Landis, who in August 1907 im posed a fine of twenty-nine million dollars on the Standard Oil Company for violation of the law pro hibiting rebates by railroad companies. It is stated on good authority that the Government will again endeavour to bring the whole matter before the Supreme Court. FAITH MEETINGS IN CHICAGO. (From our New York correspondent.) Faith meetings, at which any one who is suffering from any of the ills of life, whether bodily or men tal, may find relief, have been inaugurated by the Immanuel Baptist Church of Chicago. These meet ings are held every morning and are very numer ously attended; they are conducted by the Reverend Johnson Myers, and have the character of religious services, being opened with prayer and singing. The simple service affords consolation to many who are “weary and heavy laden,” and they go away strengthened and refreshed. Each individual tells the minister what it is that causes him to be sorrow ful. If the encouraging words of the reverend gentle man are not sufficient of themselves to solace the complainant, the services of a lawyer are called in, who assists either in finding a situation or with practical advice. For those who are in low spirits on account of illness, medical advice is provided gratis. For the material inner man, consolation is provided at these faith meetings in the form of a breakfast or lunch. (Continued on page 2.)
