Thursday, November 10, 1887. THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Be just and fear not; Let all the ends thou aim’sb at be thy country's. Thy God’s, and truth’s.

Yesterday was the forty-fifth anniversary of the birthday Edward Prince of Wales. Twenty-five years have passed since this our future king came of age, and it is painful to think that from the time of his coming of age till the present day he has not displayed one tenth part of the wisdom and goodness that characterized' his father, nor has he followed in the virtuous paths of his mother, our most Gracious Majesty the Queen. The outlook for the Royal family after death has removed our present Sovereign, is dark, but how much darker will it be for social England. What with a king on the throne whose mind is devoid of all that is wise and holy, with a Prince of Wales who is at the present time noted for his stupidity and shallowness of character, and though only just 01 age, makes himself as low as the lowest in the kjpgdom by bis seemingly utter inability to control himself—-he falls in love with other men’s wives as naturally as a cat laps milk, —with these two men ruling at Court, and a host 01 German bloodsuckers hanging around, things will go merrily in the highest social circles of England. But if this state of affairs comes to pass it will be the death knell of the reign of the House of Hanover on the throne of Great Britain, and possibly of monarchism in the British Isles.

There is, of course a possibility of reformation on the part of the Prince of Wales, and .it is to be earnestly hoped that such will be the case, but any chance of a turn for the better on the part of Albert Victor is, if all reports about him are true, hopeless: as a foolish Prince he is now, and a foolish Prince he will ever remain.

The second son of the Prince of Wales is better favoured than his elder brother in all respects, but he is o little importance. The rest of the Royal family’s royal relatives are for the most part Germans living upon the charity of England, and are no good tor anything above drawing their allowances and bestowing fulsome flatteryon some of the princely puppies who are immediately related to the Queen. The sooner these Germans are rooted out of England the better.
