TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1887.

To-day, Her Majesty the Queen com pletes her 68th year. The day will probably be everywhere observed more qnietly than usual in consequence of the greater Royal celebration next month in honour of Queen Victoria's life and reign. But under no circumstances could it be passed without some feel ing of tbankfulnes by the people of this vast Empire for the prosperity that has attended the nation' during the long life of the present sovereign. Of the Queen's nine children, seven are still alive—Alice and Leopold have preceded their mother across the mysterious boundary line that separates the mortal from the immortal. The Queen's eldest daughter, the Crown Princess of Germany, is now in her 4Sth year, and

ifi herself a grandmother. H.R.H. the

Prince ol Wales was. 46 last birth day ; his chances of a jubilee aro infinitesitnally small. In fact,.as bo is nob quite 22 years older than hia mother, and she has a robust constitution, and bids fair to live as long as her grandfather, George 111, who died at tho age of 82, it is by no means improbable that the Heir Apparent will never wear the Crown but that it will pass direct from it« present possessor to Albert Victor, the young prince whose love affairs and matrimonial dis positions aro jsaidJ: to be giving his parents some concern just now. A report has been cirnlated that Her Majesty intends to signalise the jubiloo year of her reign by establishing a Regency in tho person of the Prince of Wales," who for so long a period has discharged many of the public duties of tho sovereign. Judging by tho known temper of the Queen we, doubt the story, nor do we see that it would have any advantage for the nation. Queen Victoria is well able to fill, with satisfaction to the Empire, •the functions that still r«main to the Crown, and so long as the hand that holds the sceptre wields it with so much discretion, we should bo sorry indeed to see it pass into any other grasp.

THE CRISIS-IN FRANCE.

If war breaks oufc thi3 year between France and Germany, it will be directly traceable to the influence of one man, and that man is General Boulangea 1, late Minister for War in tha French Cabinet. Our telegrams of last night represented the bellicose General as the special pet of the Parisian mob,and liis retention in the post which ho formerly ocoupiod, or his promotion to a higherone.ia considered a aim qua, non to the formation of a Ministry. M. de Freycinet, who is a man of peace, has declined to form a Cabinot because of hia conviction that the in clusion of General Boulangar would certainly " mean the assumption of supreme control by the latter.,, The crisis thus created is perhaps graver than most people realise, for Boulanger is the mouth-piece of the war party, and if in power would be forced to take Gffensivo measures against Ger many,in pursuit of the cherished object of recovering the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Put ayllogistically, for the sake of bjjpvity and forte, the situation may. thus bo described:—■ "Any French Ministry must include General Boulanger; but his inclusion means that he will assume supreme control, and he is committed to a war,

policy for Uie recovery of tho provinces • ■ergofTrvx at an early date "between France and Germany is inevitable." That'is assuming that the rabid "Jin goes" of the capital even approximately represent the feeling of the country,, or that the personal popularity which the-, bellicose General enjoys would .enable him to make a war policy acceptable to the people, who, as a whole, are peace loving. In England it has very fre quently been proved that the capital cannot ba depended upon to lead political or patriotic movements with success, and the same thing has happened, though not so often, in France. In the latter country, how evor, there 18 a very uncertain element that must be taken into account, viz., the natural excitability of the people, their love of military glory, and their proneness to be led by any military dictator who has boldness, plausibility, and ambition, coupled with the knack of working upon the national weakness; and aspirations. That General Boulanger is just suclv a man is amply proved by his character and career. The son of a French ad vocate by an English mother, Georgos Boulanger, who was born in 1837, early devoted himself to the .profession of anna and shortly after obtaining hia commission he saw some service in. Algeria. 3 n the ex pedition to Cochin China he received a spear thrust in the log.^ The wound wa3 not very serious in itself, but as, many of tho native weapons were poisoned ifc was at first a cause of some anxiety. Fortunately, however, no bad effects came from it. A far more serious wound was that which; tho young officor received at Solforino, where he was shot com-j plotely. through the body, and he would undoubtedly have succumbed to it but for the nursing of his mother, who, when hope was abandoned by the surgeons, had him removed from the hospital, and taken to a private house. It was just a chance whether he had strength to survive the removal; but he had, and his life was saved. He then received his captaincy and the cro»s of the Legion of Honour, and for somo timo afterwards he held a profes sorship in hia old school at St. Cyr. During the siege of Paris he, as chef do bataillon, received in the presence of tho army the thanks of General Trochu for his bravery, and He was also rewarded with a colonelcy and with promotion in the Legion of Honour. At the fall of the Commune he waa again? wounded. Coming to a courtyard in which a num bor of Communards had taken refuge,' Colonel Boulanger opened the wicket, and stepping in received a rolloy, one of tho balls striking his right wrist and passing out at the elbow, but barely had his sword reached the ground before his men, who had followod him through the wicket,, had taken ample vengeance.' For some, time it was fearoa that this wound might permanently in> pair the usefulness of the rigEt' hand'; but this has not been Mcl case.; Such a career as this ia one ■which appeals peculiarly to the French'mind, and when it is added that the mature and experienced general is a fluent and persuasive . orator, it will readily be admitted that he ia in a position to wield a tremendous power over his fellow-countrymon. These considerations give immense import ance to. the ! political crisis now being experienced at Paris, and wiU'cause the development of events to 'be keenly watched.

NEGLECTED CHILDREN.

The genesis of the larrikin is treated instructively in a report, that, has been laid before Parliament.upon Industrial Schools. From this document it ap pears that during last year, "of the 238 children committed (154 boys, and B>i girls), 98 were described as desti-. tute, 4S, as-guilty of punishable of fences, 42 as living in disreputable places, 25 as vagrant, and 25 as uncon trollable. One hundred and four of these children j are reported as having attended no school (65 of them being under 5 years of age), 97 had been at public schools, 29 at Eoman Catholic schools, 5 at private schools, 1 at1 a high school, 1 at an industrial school, andl at an English Board school. To the Church of England be long 100 of the children committed, 94 to the Roman Catholic Church; ,25 are Presbyterian, 10 Wesleyan and other Methodists, 1 Baptist, 1 Congregational, and 1 Lutheran. The statement rnado in Table U shows 50 cases in which the father and mother wero both to bkme, besides 31 in which thafather's character waa unsatisfactory, and 49 in which the mother was at fault, while 80 casea seem to be attributable to misfortune, and 7 others may belong to this clasß> and there are 21 cases in which the. information doea not -justify any conclusion,"

The deductions from these results are plain. It is not religious belief or unbolief, nor secular education, nor want of employment and distress, nor sicknosa and misfortune, that fills our industrial schools •with destitute child ren and our streets with larrikins,. but it is tho want of parental control aud example. Aeoording to this report, out qf 280 admissions 130 we're at tributable to the faults of. their parents. So long as-thora are weak or dis solute parents there.will,be ungovern able and neglected children, and it is an advantage to the State to lay hold of them while they are young, costly though their maintenance may be, rafehar than permit them to become adult pests to society. Many worthy men and women have been given to the world from industrial ■ schools. It is not, ihowoyer,.merely,, among the dissolute that this doctrine of parental responsibility and control requires to be taught. : Even/worthy
