THE KING AND HIS SUBJECTS, The crowning of kings dates back to the beginning of history, and be- yond. The world has progressed a good deal since then, but kings we ptill have iiit;h Cts, apd t,ipy are still elrowaed in view of tbeir subjects se of yore. The ceremony ie the came, pretty mach, as when kings were suppouti to be of if different order of Wulf frost those about Ihepi, and and when Aeople were supposed to live fur their use end benefit'. In onritsy--egnept in Germany—icings have abandoned their earlier pays of looking at thmge. The corona- tion, boyrey�er, is Ad as mach a fbgetlon now as It ever Was, as "dons Incidents of the peat six Week. have demonstrated. It is the ane hour In a lifetime when tbe king presents himself. formally and in person to his subjects, receiving their bomegs and allegiance and pledging ihimself in return to safeguard their interests and meditations. There are doabtlem still many who, ignoring Vie soden of parliament in calling in a bew king in 1688, accept the coro- aattbn as the warrant of a higher authority than that of parliament for the king's enjoyment of his office. Ow ate anduubtedly others who tb tub O. BLYTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1902. No, 1. would au strenuously dens to .the occupant of the throne of Great Bri- tain any authority other than that delegated to him by the represents- tives of the people. There ire mil- lions of the king's subjects who, without any very clear idea of what forces and what philosophies under- lie political controversies, are con- tent to recognise in the king the slrgle and sufficient type of national or imperial entity. There are those others who see in him only the gracious and venerated referee of the struggle that goes on from day to day and year to year between the real rulers of the country's destinies. There are those who find in the'king the source and fountain of justice, the guardian .of equality in ottlxen. ship. There are those others for whom the chief usefulness of the king consists in that he is placed en a pinnacle above the jealousies of rival houses, his artificial social pre- eminence saving the nation from the consequences that wsnld flow if the social rivalries of the deb were to be manifested without restraint and to the natural llpilts ottheir folly. 'here are millions who look peon the king as a factor of much consequence . in their religions life, There are other millions to whom he appears as their anfhiling resource should the exercise of their own religion by any chance be Interfered with. The ritual of tbe coronation itself toll• cafes Importanh distinctions between the nubiee, the gentry, the clergy and the commonalty in their relation to the crown. In England, with its oigsree and its easter, with its tradi- tions of centuries and dynasttet, with the king present in the body, with his palaces, his households, his courts !and hie movements from place to place ander the eye of the people, these things are doubtless ail intelli• gable, In Canada, where we know nothing of such things, where the odd aristocrat we see excites no more awe than another man, where we are free to go oar ways without anyone's leave, the idea of kingship must be different from what it le ' ander the more ancient environment. Even here there will be differences enough about what it is the office Oh) which his majesty was on Einar. day last inducted means to us Indi- vidually and collectively, Great as may be the divergence of opinion on these matters of theoretical govern. went, however, there is in Canada, ae In every other part of the British empire, no difference of opinion as to the intrinsic worthiness of bim wbo as a king and as a. man was cn Sat- urday the object of the world's attention.
