KING IN THE EAST END. Proposal 'lint llls Mainly Bulls is Groom -` wich Pnlsoc. A scheme is on foot in England to revive the iormor glories of Green- wich Palace as a. royal residence, with the ldca of bringing the Crown in closer touch than at present with that tolling mass of humanity whlcix inhabits tho east end of the mighty metropolis. 'It may be recalled to :mind that Greenwich was the resi- dence oi the Kings of-England as far back as in the thirteenth century. Henry -VIII. and his daughters, Queen Mary -and Queen Elizabeth, both were born there, and King Charles II. pull- 'cd down the ancient palace and -erected the present statély and beau- tiful pile of buildings, according to the deslgnsof Sir -Christopher Wren a`nd‘In.igo Jones. With its- terrace of ia; thousand feet in length, »skirting the broad reach of the river, and with old Greenwich Perk`,tull of cen- tenarian trees e.s_s,-.ba'ckground, it is in-every way afworthy homo for the monarch ol egreat Empire. Of' course the one drawback to the scheme ‘is that the Thames is terrib- ly polluted below London Bridge, and that the Btream_at~Green_wich leapt 'to be foul smelling, especially at low tide. But when the works have been completed which, ‘by means of a ser- ies of hu locks, will render the riv- er from giavescnd up independent of the‘tides, the drawback of course will disappear, and it certainly would be no hardship for either the -King, the Prince and (Princess ‘oi Wales, or some other members oi the royal family to make use of the palace as a suburban and riverside residence 'ones more, thus according to~the massesinthe cast end oi Lon- don I1 glimpse of that royalty for whose benefit they are iirmly convinc- ed'that they are taxed. - .When -one retlectshow much the proximity of the River Thames adds to the stateliness and to the magnifi- cence of the Houses of'Parliament at Westminster, _with their terraces along the watcr's edge, a_nd _to the pr°lmate's palace of Lambeth just op-‘ positejand to the-picturesquenem of that ancient -royal residence, the Tower of London, it is a matter for surprise that Buckingham Palace ‘should have been located at such a distance from the river instead ol on its banks. _~ -'_é-°.*-.i- ‘ I _ ' ink me Veer-fssie.
