Show An ExpoiiHlvB Luxury. Queen Victoria has been a monarch fifty years. In that time sho has drawn from her subjects in rents, annuities, etc., over 100.000,000. She has had besides special provision made by tho government for all her family. Just now we are told that a jubilee fund has been proposed for her nnd that money to the amount of $.,000 per day is coming into that fund. Then, too, she sells butter made from her estates in Devonshire. Under such circumstances cir-cumstances we can all see how generous was the Impulse which prompted her to raise the pension of the old, armless and legless soldier to the extent of 3s. iid. per week Is it strange that England is growing a little tired of this business of royalty; that on two or three occasions of late tlie queen has been publicly hissed? The gifts of this world are so distributed that sometimes it looks as though people were rewarded in inverse ratio to the services ser-vices they render. Salt Lake Tribune. |
