Show WARNING TO KING EDWARD. During his sojourn recently at the famous health rPS rIarcilbad' King Edward of England attended at-tended Mass at least once, upon which a Scotch paper pa-per (Edinburgh Evening News) comments with ad-mom ad-mom t ion and warning to his majestv as to possible possi-ble grave repetitions of history. It is about time it says that something was done with King Edward. He is such a good-natured soul that he is really his own enemy. Take yesterday, for example, when he attended a Mass at Marienbad. probably quite unthinkingly. un-thinkingly. But has he forgotten the Coronation Oath, where the Mass is referred to as idolatrous and superstitious? It is quite possible King Edward Ed-ward was so excited when the crown was placed on his head that he paid no attention to the words. Or is may be that, like many thousands of his loyal subjects, he becomes emancipated when he crosses the ''silver streak" (meaning the channel). What have the Queen Street Hall stalwarts (Protestant associations) to say about our merry monarch, who forgets his solemn word? The customary resolution resolu-tion won't do. All that hapuens is that the Royal charwoman gets so much mere waste paper to dispose dis-pose of. How would it do to get a copy of Macau-lay's Macau-lay's history and send it to his majesty, with the pages marked about that old-time Mass lover, James II, summarily evicted from London ? What happened hap-pened once may happen again, and if King Edward gets into a thoughtful mood he might be scared. This of course is "rote sarkastik" on the "Queen Street stalwarts" (Protestant bigots) and their kind, still by no means near extinction in Great Britain. Xew York Freeman's Journal. |
