A good of them are virtually duplicates and cover the subject, but still the variety of the whole large. Most of them were submitted early in the ses- | sion, and it seemed at one time if Congress might spend the wmter in high arguments on constitutional questions, for every Congressman who had an amend- ment vowed he would make the fight of his life to bring it to the front and keep it there until a vote was taken. - Up to this time, however, nothing of note has been done with regard to any of them, and their only usefulness has-been to fill a pigeonhole. The amendment of most general interest is that providing for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. It has been before sev- | ral Congresses and has once or twice passed the | House of Representatives. The arguments for it ars trong, and every year new ones arise. The dis- closures made in the investigation of the election of Clark add to the popular demand for a change in the system, and it is probable this amendment will even- tually be adopted. At any rate something will have | to be dome to put an end to the evils of the present system, and up to this time nothing better has been Ly s i Aplge devised than the proposed election by direct vote.

ULLETIN No. 3, issued from the headquarters of the California League of Republican clubs, announces that the committee on transporta- tion has arranged for reduced fares by rail or water the league. In setting forth the terms under which the reduced rates can be obtained, the bulletin says: “From all points north of Mojave or Ellwood, on the Southern Pacific Railroad, tickets will be sold on the ‘certificate plan.” That is, the attendant will buy a first-class ticket to Los Angeles, and will take a teceipt from the railroad agent for such ticket on a form which will be provided. This certificate will state the course to be pursued in obtaining the one- third rate for the return trip from Los Angeles. It s essential that the attendant should have this certificate, which may cover more than one ticket, provided the additional tickets are for the attendant’s family. The | tickets for the going trip may be bought at any time within fifteen (15) days before,' or during, the meet- ing. The certificate (upon which the que-third fare return-trip ticket will be issued) must be counter- signed by the secretary of the convention fand pre- sented to the agent of the railroad company at Los Angeles with forty-eight hours of the close of the| convention, who will thereupon sell a return ticket to | the starting point at one-third first-class rates, which | ticket will be limited to three days from date of sale. The blank certificates required can be obtained from Major M. T. Owens, chairman of Local Executive | Committee, 130 South Spring street. Los Angeles, ! Cal,, or from the secretary of your club.” | It is further announced that an open rate of onc{ and one-third first-class fare for the round trip from | all stations in Southern California to Los Angeles nd return, on either the Southern Pacific or the Southern California railroads, has been given; and the Pacific Coast Steamship Company makes a special | rate of one and one-half fare for the round trip from | all ports of call for its steamers in California to Los| | Angeles sea ports—Port Los Angeles, Redondo and | San Pedro. By reason of these arrangements the attendance | on the convention should be considerably increased. ! The gathering is to be one of great importance to the | ¢ party and it is desirable that every section of the State | be represented. The committee on transportatien de- | serves credit, therefore, for obtaining such a reduction | the in fares as will conduce to that end. o o e Instances of badly injured men being taken by the police and locked up as drunks are becoming alto- gether too frequent. Since civil service examinations are all the rage, why not require policemen and police | surgeons to show before their appointment that thcy} know enough to distinguish between a broken skull and intoxication. THE EUROPEAN COAL FAMINE. NE of the economic conditions of the time. out of which far-reaching results may be cx-} pected, is the so-called “coal famine” which | now prevails in Great Britain and Germany. The famine does not mean an exhaustion of the coal mines, but only that in those countries a point has been reached where the mines in many cases cannot be profitably worked at the present price of coal. Thus there has beex} brought about a famine in an same as if the mines had given out. The situation is not very bad in Great Britain, owing to the facilities that country has for importing coal, but according to reports from Germany the shortage there has been disastrous. Thus we read | that in some localities not only. have the factories | | i shut during the cold days of winter for the same rea- son. Moreover, it is said to have checked the work | in the Government shipyards, and according to some estimates has caused upward of a million men to he thrown out of emplpyment. / There is doubtless a good deal of exaggeration in most of these stories, but that there is a large and growing need for coal in Europe is made evident by the immense orders recently placed with American order has been recentl} given by a British syndicate for 2,000,000 tons of Alabama coal, to be delivered at New Orleans for export within'two years. The situation is full of promise for the United of coal will mean a decrease in all kinds of industrial power. With cheaper coal than Europe can obtain we will have a great advantage in manufacturing of all kinds, and the effects will greatly augment our in- dustrial wealth. There is no danger of any shortags here for centuries to come, for according to one au- therity there is a single mountain in Alabama con- taining enough coal to supply the whole world at the present rate of consumption for over one hundred years. There is another aspect of the matter, though, wkich is not so favorable to ourselves. The lack of coal has set the Germans to developing electrical energy by water power and transmitting it to manu- facturing centers. By devoting energy and money to such enterprises under the stimulus of necessity and the certainty of great rewards for success, it is likely the Germans will be carrying on‘most of their indus- try by cheap electrical power while we are still relying upon steam because coal is cheap. Thus what ap- pears to be a disadvantage to the Germans may be turned to advantage by science. It has been stated that while each horsepower of. mechanicall energy developed in the United States by steam costs an average of $20 per annum. the Niagara Falls Power Company furnishes an electrical current than $10 a year. An immense saving is therefore possible by the development of electric power from waterfalls. The present hard times in Germany may thus be for them the beginning of a new industriai , APRIL 3, 1900 THE STORY OF QUEEN VICTORIAS PREVIOUS TRIPS TO IRELAND HE present visit of Queen Victoria to Ireland is the fourth since her accession to the throne in 1 She was 42 yvears old at the time of her last visit, now she is almost 81. It Is officially announced that her visit this time is in recognition of the skill and valor of her officers and soldlers in the present Boer campaign. General Roberts—"Fighting Bobs''—now in chief command, is an Irishman and- takes his title of Lord Waterford from his birth- place. Generals Kitchener®French, Kelly- Kenny and White are all Irishmen and her Majesty wants to pluck a shamrock from the soil that gave them birth. The heroism displayed by the Connaught Rangers, the Inneskilling Dragoons, the Dublin and the Irish Fusillers at the crossing of the Tugela and Modder Riv- ers and storming of Kimberley and Bloem- fontein touched the heart of the Queen as no other event since the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava in the Cri- mean war. Instead of “hanging men and women for the wearing of the green” the Queen directed that her brave Irish sol- diers should be privileged to wear the shamrock on St. Patrick’s day. For the first time in history the Irish flag waved over the Mansion House in London. The nobility and officials of the crown, fol- lowing the example of her Majesty, out- hibernicised the Hibernians in celebrating | Ireland’s national festival. In recent cablegrams we are told that “the Queen has ordered a court garden party to be held in Dublin In the second week in April when she will be present. The Mistress of the Robes has ordered for her Majesty a unique gown of Mer- onac velvet with designs in shamrocks and a sunshade of Irish silk, ornamented with _green silk shamrocks, with five of the four-leafed variety at the top.” If the weather should turn out as unpropi- tlous as in the years 1553 and 1861 when the Queen was in Dublin she will need an umbrella rather than a sunshade whose amrocks would be likely to run into s of drenching rain. During her previous visits to Ireland Queen Victoria was ac- companied by her devoted and dearly be- loved husband, the Prince Coysort. Now she goes as a widowed soverelgn, and many a spot she is likely to revisit will mind her of the deceased Prince. Her first visit to Ireland was in August, 1849, when, with Prince Albert and her four children and_Albert, she first landed at the cove of Cork. In honor of this event the name of ¢ was changed by her Majesty's command into Queenstown just as Dun- leavy was transformed info Kingstown when George IV visited Dublin. The royal yacht steamed up the beautiful River Lee to the city of Cork amid the plaudits of countless thousands. The Queen was overwhelmed with the enthusiastic recep- tion she met with in a part of Ireland which she was told teemed with disloy- % alty. Hefore the Queen left England, the London Times, Punch and other great J ted direful disaster to the ro. the hands of disaffected Irishmen. ccording to them, the royal visitors ‘would surely be mobbed and ould be lucky if they escaped with their al pa liv The Que with the proverbial pluck of the Brunswick family, proceeded on her ji v pite the awful predic- tions of The same newspapers and th pe of bell weth Yar o ating danger ah d, we are told, is in alarm and commotion.

All Queen’s officers and all the Queen’s men, especially those of Scotland Yard, * will pass sleepless nights until she is safely back on English soil. It was not on Irish soil that Queen Victoria heretofore in- curred any danger or suffered any insult; it was in her own capital—London—and not far from her own palace. Edward Oxford, a potboy of 17, in 1840 fired two shots at her as she was driving up Con- stitution Hill with Prince Albert. Two years after a man named John Francis attempted her life in the same manner and in the same place. A hunchback named Bean pointed a pistol at Queen Victoria as she was leaving Buckingham Palace, but it was knocked from his hand before he w-ul% pull the trigger. A third attempt upon her life was made on Con- stitution Hill in 1849 and in 1850. Rob Pate, an ex-lieutenant of hussars, in 1 struck her on the face with a walking stick near the residence of the Duke of ('ambrlrh;e. This does not complete the list, but it is sufficient to show that it is in London and not in Dublin that Queen Victoria requires protection. Of course, the Queen, in 1861 as in 1900, would not undertake such a journey with- out due precaution for her personal safety. Her Ministers saw to it that the coast was clear and her military escort sufficiently strong. Lord Clarendon, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, wrote to Lord John Russell, Premier of England that “Agitation in Ireland is extinct; repeal is forgotten; seditic associations are clos- ¢ ed up; the priests are frightened and the people are tranquil. Everything tends,” sald he, “'to secure for the Queen an en- thugiastic reception and the one draw- which is the general distress of all s, has its advantages, for le the Queen to do what is kind and jderate to those who are suffering.’” s last sentence is a lurid commentary. on England’'s methods in dealing witi Ireland. It is on the prineiple of *'Do evil that good may come from it.” Knock a fellow down that fnu may show how good you are by extending a hand to hel up. Queen Victoria soon discovered that no matter how disaffected the majority of Irishmen were tney do not assauit nor insult women. A poet of the time well expressed the feelings of the Queen: A thousand anxious cares I had, A thousand doubts and fears— Would Ireland meet me wildly, zlad Or darkly drowned in tears? Both fears alike I now reject; One day bas testifled Enough to Irish self-respect And Irish manly pride. In Cork, Waterford, Dublin and Belfast, which she visited on this trip, sailing from place to place on her royal vacht, she was greeted with marked enthusiasm. ‘When the royal party sailed into Water- ford harbor they saw near the entrance Duncannon Fort, historic as the last stop- ping place in Ireland of unfortunate King James 1I, the last of l¥r Stuarts. After his defeat by Willlam, Prince of Orange, at the battle of the Boyne he abandoned his brave Irish soldiers and took to his heels. This was the King who early in the fight, when he saw the Irish soldiers prevailing against the red coats, cried out, “Oh, spare my English subjects!” Tt {s said that the Irish officers were so dis- gusted_at his poltroonery that they ex- pressed a desire to exchange commanders and fight the battle over again. King James fled to France with the maledie- tions of the Irish upon his miserable head. f disaffection lurked in Dublin it did not show its head during the four dagn' celebration_over the royal visit. On his return to Windsor Castle Prince Albert wrote to his friend and mentor, Baron Stockmar: ‘“‘Our Irish tour has gone off well beyond all expectations. Of the en- thusiasm that greeted us from all quar- ters you can form no conception.” 1In this connection it ‘should be remembered that at the time Ireland was but just emerging or seven leafed variety through the action | . on her royal yacht the Victora | the | it will | him | By J.

It lasted four years—] 47-48-49—during which about a million people Died down In the ditches, Wild, howling for bread. For the moment the people forgot their misery, and the London Times had it that when the roval cortege was passing through the streets of Dublin one enthu- siastic woman cried out to her Mafjesty, as ghe sat in her open carriage with her children: “Och, Queen, dear, make one of them Prince Patrick and all Ireland will die for you." The Queen did not forget, for she soon after had her third son, the Duke of Con- naught, christened Patrick, and she also created a new title for the Prince of Wales—that of Earl of Dublin. She tells us in her book, “‘Leaves From My Diary. that when she was leaving K‘Ingnluw | harbor she climbed to the top of one of the paddle-boxes of her yacht and, stand- ing by the side of the Prince Consort, | bowed and waved her handkerchlef re- peatedly to the cheering multitude.

What a contrast betweeen | the characters of these two sovereigns of | the House of Brunswick. Thackeray, in his “Four Georges,"” says of him: “We cannot get at his character.

Irishmen look back | with pain on the scenes of loyal servility | enacted at that time in the irish capital by leading Irishmen. They resolved “not | 10 obtrude their grievances upon his Maj- | esty during his stay in Dublin.” The great Liberator, Daniel O'Connell, pre- | | fented him with' a huge bunch of sham- | rocks. All this was done with the idea of | concillating the King so that afterward he | would be disposed to favor measures in- tended to advance the Interests of Ire !land. In these views they failed utterly. What could they expect from one whom Thackeray describes as ‘“heartless treacherous.” In_Mitchell's History of nd we are told how King George 1V hafled with tumultuous hurrahs in the city of Dublin wherever he passed, and in return he directed his secretary to write a letter recommending the people to s | be united.” Lord Byron, in hi poem called the “Avatar,” lashes the toadles ned upon this Aye, shout in his train, let thine orators lash Their fanciful spirits to pamper his pride; Not thus did thy Grattan indignantly flash His soul o'er the freedom implored and de- nied.

Queen Victoria paid a second visit to Ireland in August, 1853, just four years after her first. This time she came direct to Dublin to see the Industrial Exhibition, which owed its existence to the liberality of a single Irishman—William Dzrs;\n— who refused a baronetcy at the hands of the Queen. Again the people Clinmibed up to walls and battlements, To towers and_windows, vea to chimneytops, fo see great Queen Victoria pass through the streets of Dublin. Again they shouted themselvés hoarse with cries of “Long live the Queen.” All this ebullition of loy- alty took place while the heavens were drenching soldiers and “‘peelers” and rab- ble. The royal pariy were amply pro- tected in closed carriages, through the windows of which they enjoyed the fun. Some of the royal juveniles described it afterward. 4 The third visit of Queen Victoria to Ireland was made in 1861, and again In the month of August. This visit lasted eight days. Accompanied as on the two former occasions by Prince Ailbert and some of the royal children, she again vis- ited Dublin direct * from England, and after a short stay proceeded by rail through the central parts of the country until she reached the far-famed Lakes of Killarney. There she was entertained by Lord Castlerosse and Herbert of Muekross. Fortunately, the weather was all that could be desired and the Queen was ecstatic over the beauties of the scenery. It was believed at the time that she would establish a summer residence there, either for herself or for one of the royal Princes.
