THE REION OH VICTORIA

CourierJournal

Tqc inevitable end foreshadowed by

several days of dramatic reports from

the Isle of Wight has come at lastand Queen Victoria is no mureDeath which knocks with impartialstroke at the palace of the King andthe hovel of the peasant visited herisland home yesterday and put an endto leer suffering in the eightysecondyear of her ago Qbe of the four soleregnants over the empire of which shereigned she had worn the crown lon-

ger¬

than qll combined The firstknown as Bloody Mary reigned butfive years while Elizabeth her success-

or

¬

was Queen for fortyfive and Annebut twelve years Combined theirreigns covered but si tytwo yearsthat of Victoria was oversixtythreeyears

While it is difficult to draw a com

parison between the reigns of Eliza-

beth

¬

and Victoria owing to tlie differ ¬

ence between the tares In which theylived and to the intervening changesin the condition of civilization and re¬

gal authority It is not to be question ¬

ed that the verdict of posterity willaward to Victoria the merit of havingthe more brilliant reign when weighedby the test of human progress andmoral evolution If the Elizabethanage was illumined by tbo genius of

Shakespeare and Bacon it was darken ¬

ed by the ignorance and poverty of themasses and by the cruel excesses of

the sovereign In contrast to thesephysical and administrative defectsthe reign of Victoria is as incomparable as the electric light of the Nine ¬

teenth century to the rush ligbtpf theSixteenth Ascending tbe throne durlug the ministry pf Lord John Russell

just after the great measures of relig ¬

ious and economic reform had beeninaugurated she became and contin ¬

ued through her life the embodlmentofthat peaceful revolution in the Eng ¬

lish Constitution by which the royalprerogative was shorn of its absolutismand England became thoroughly con ¬

stitutional monarchy in which talewill ort e people expressed throughParliament became the dominant fea¬

ture of Government Under the en¬

lightened statesmanship of Gladstonethehome government wfts still furtherliberalized the federative prjqcipje of

the colqqial sjstcin successfully organ¬

ized and the empire made more homo-geneous free and prosperous Success

followed her armies in the few wars of

national character in which tbecountry was engaged aud if in the

latter year her mind was wrackedwith care it may be ascribed directly

toa reaction from the liberal policy ofGladstone and to a reversal of tnatfinstitutcd by him iu SjouthAfrica

In all that implies the eleva-

tion

¬

of the musses their edu ¬

cation their physical comfort aidmoral progress the reign of Victoria

must stand lanpballeuged longevity

tbe credit of origination belongs toour own country and the progress ofGreat Britain by their use has been bY

adaptation rather than discovery Norwhile for the development of her ems

pire can entire credit be given hersince the day has passed when the will

of the sovereign in that country canbe called the directing power of theGovernment inasmuch as that is ves-

Embarrassing Appointments

The President has appointed the son

of Justice Harlan of the SupremeCourt Attorney General for Porto Ri-

co and the son of Justice McKenna tobe Captain and Inspector General onthe same island These appointmentshave been for some days the subjectsof dignified but yet sharp comments InIthe newspapers It has been freelyassumed that there was Impropriety innaming the sous of the Judges who areto pass on questions of Porto RicanGovernment to places in the insularservice

It is a very delicate thing to evenIremotely intimate that so high a Courtcould be influenced by such family taivors especially since we have had ItsoIindustriously dinned into our ears furIfour years that it is wrong to look uponany Court as a thing susceptible to hu ¬

man Influences So the opposition tothe appointments Is put on the ground

that they are an embarrassment to theJudges and some go so far as to say anaffront to the distinguished jurists be-

cause they have the appearance of aneffort to influence judicial opinionswith patronage They have the flavor

of trying to get votes on the bench byIthe same means that Mr llanna forexample employ to get votes for aSenatorship in a Legislature

The Philadelphia Times goes so faras to say that no more shocking at-

tack

¬

upon the independence of the ju¬

diciary ever has been made It saysjtbe Justices named owe it to them ¬

selves and to their associates to forbidthe acceptance of the appointments of¬

fered to their sonsItA sense of pro-

priety would suggest this at any timeit continues but under existing cir¬

cumstances it is essential If thePresident is devoid of such sense itshould be taught him and the Senatemust refuse to confirm these indecentselection

This is making an issue indeedPerhaps though the young men mayIbe obstinate They are of course over21 years of age and beyond the legalcontrol of their eminent fathers Per ¬

haps they are beyond the limits of pa¬

rental moral suasion

It can hardly be possible that theJustices asked for tbe appointment of

their sons especially when Porto Rican establishment and possibly theexistence of the office of AttorneyGen ¬

eral and Inspector General themselvesare involved The Senate would notlike to affront the President or theJustices by rejecting these nomina ¬

tions especially if tbo men are quali ¬

fied and moral fit which is probably

the fact It would be almost huaiiliatiug confession fur tutf 1rcskleut to

withdraw the nominations It may bu

argued that nobody bas a right to keep

these men down simply becautc tbelrfathers are Justices of the SupremeCourt On the other band it may be

suggested that a great many other pen ¬

pie have to submit tobeinrfkeptdowuThere is very far short of u sufficientnumber of olflees to go round notwithstanding the tendency to rapidmultiplication After all the greatmajority must be private citizens

Altogether it is a hard subject totreat The Enquirer Is disposed tocongratulate itself that the settlementis not in its hands This muck may

be said qnyhowi It would have beena lucky thing If the appointments hadnot been made It looks as if the delcafe question had backed up to McKIn-

ley himself Cincinnati Enquirer
