Wear thou thy labors to thy country given Thy -lSi(juenf keen," utftirlng brain. Thychangeless love of Man, thy trust in Thy crown' of Pain. Lewis Morris InThe Times of London. I spent most of my Sunday reading the magnificent eulogies delivered in honor: of the great the House of Commons and House of Lords on Friday, May 20.
An address had been prepared asking that the grand old statesman be buried at the public expense and a monument be erected to his memory In the Collegiate Church of St. Peter, Westminster. The address called for speeches from the leading members of Parliament The London papers of May 21 are just to hand with full reports of the orations. Balfour, Harcourt and John Dillon surpassed themselves in their utterances. From these three came unbroken stream-of eloquence and, as was expected, Balfour took the honors.
His speech will certainly be remembered for years to come as a masterpiece of rhetoric. He. did full justice to his subject and in the course of his peroration, made one statement, which, coming from1 the leader of the House, wilt surprise every one and which by many will be regarded as a rebuke to those who used to accuse Gladstone of trying to Americanize and thus Injure the English government He praised the dead statesman for elevating the House of Commons, lor' advancing the dignity of the British' legislature, and for having increased public interest in Its deliberations. As one reads all those grand speeches one wonders If we have in this democratic country of ours a statesman' so democratic as Gladstone. But then it must be remembered that England, ever since the passage of the first reform bill, has been growing steadily in the direction of democracy.
Gladstone was a young man when this bill was passed and thus his whole public career was influenced by times of ever widening popularity. When reform waa first discussed in. the House of Commons, Robert Lowe "Democracy you, can have any time, or day the gate stands open that leads to that arid plain where every ant hill Is a mountain, and every thistle a forest tree." Other men, too, said that "universal suffrage, which now virtually exists in England, would the tone' of public life." It was predicted that as soon as British politics was Americanized. that minute great statesmen would disappear from public life and In their places would follow mediocre-men whom the nation could not feel proud of or honor In the usual way. Does time verify or confirm such a proposition.
Are there not to-day In public life, in England as many able men as any time in the past Waa not Gladstone, the commoner, as great a man aa ever lived In England? In this country there has been a dearth of great statesmen for some years back but that must be because of th inor dinate love of money that has been the ruling passion of late and which seems to be growing more rampant; all the This is the commercial age surely, and the best minds seem to Be bent on the mighty dollar. But wait till the nation gets a shaking up again over big issues and we shall find there are lots of big men waiting to come to the only- need' This little war ef ours with Spain may be the means of curing the money craze and setting in motion aspirations in the direction of statecraft, now lying dormant and which when given full sweep will result in 6ur nation having once again a school of -great statesmen. Bui I am digressing and- must get back to Gladstone. It will be noticed that, in England, the men who have had most to do with democratising. British public life are the men who best maintain the dignity of Parliament.
Gladstone showed that he could be a democrat and yet reflect the proper dignity upon the legislature as a body. He taught England many grand things, and yet here Is the queen permitting her dislike of him and his democracy to Influence her so much jis to refuse to pay him a-Tribute "Inrahy marked way. This is one of the greatest mistakes of her life. The whole world has shown profound respect for him as one of thegreat-est figures-In history. Even the csar of Russia recognized his great capacity and what he did for humanity.
But the queen has scarcely recognized his death, though he did so much to win the respect of other nations for the, one She nominally presides over. But she is a descendant of the Georges a Hanovartan and still believes in the, aristocracy. But her son, the Prince of Wales; who is not a dreamer, is not so much concerned about his ancestry, sought to get her to forget her prejudices, but she was too obstinate to listen to the calm voice of sense and reason. The world will have to try and forget her iach of good breeding in particular and remember that she lives In a narrow sphere and is not conscious of the Intellectual progress going on all the while among the Anglo Saxons. The world as we know If respecte only- those heads of governments that acquiesce to the of the people, and if Queen Victoria Is excused for insulting Gladstone after the -English people decreed him a place In Westminster Abbey, it Is because she is old and know nothing the: progress that' democracy 4s throughout the.
