The Contemporary Review is the 'most quoted magazine for the month, "and because the widest publicity has been given to the article it tried to suppress. Before it was known that King Edward VII was seriously ill one of its stall writers indulged freely in a criticisn of the king. When, about the time of its publication, and after some of the issue had gone out, it became known that the king's con- dition was giving some anxiety it tried to recall the article and the numbers containing it, and in vain.

PARKER & CO., : Dycrs and Cleaners, a Prince t, Kingston, Oat, experi- The curiosity of the people was thor- oughly aroused and the press, in America, especially gratified it. The article credits the king with many eminent articles. He is a power in' diplomacy, particularly in foreign affairs, but at home he has failed, for many reasons, to assert himself as . the Contemporary Review thought he should have dome. It believed that had his mother, the good Queen Vie- toria, been on the throne there * would have been no collision between the commons and the lords, because she would have plainly intimated to the peers that popular opinion should be respected and popular opinion was certainly behind the government of the day. The essence of the whole article is contained in this paragraph, which appears noar the close of it : "The trouble from which we are now suffering is that, whether from the defect . of his qualities or' from .gome other cause, his majesty was not able to bring suffieient personal in- 'fluence to bear upon the leaders of the ooster fer two things 'crow that is in him -- he's 8 Bot to back peers to induce them to 'recoil from i the adventurous course to which | they were impelled from the sick-bed of Birmingham and its sounding-board in the press. ble." The death of the king, later, made il the , publication of the article even {i more regrettable, and yet the point ll of it will bear consideration. It is Hil that the king is the power that can if be depended upon to break deadlocks ff or prevent them in parliamentary life.
