POWER OF ROYALTY.
IN ENGLAND THE SOVEREIGN IS
MERELY A FIGUREHEAD.
The House of Commons Is Practically Su
preme in Its Lawmaking: Power, and the
Action of the House of Lords und That
of the Sovereign Is a Matter of Form.
Just at this time is an opportune occa
sion for giving a brief outline of the
functions of the English government.
This is admirably done by N. O. Winter,
English correspondent for The National
Tribune, and the following facts are
quoted from him:
The queen is sovereign in name only.
Her individual will weighs almost as
naught. Her official acts are those of
the party in power.
The "queen's speech," so called, read
at the opening of every parliament, is
prepared by the leaders of the prevail
ing party and contains a setting forth
of the measures which it is proposed to
pass. Although at heart a Tory, yet
should the Liberals be successful she
would be obliged to appoint the cabinet
proposed by that party. She has veto
power on all bills, I believe, yet she
would not dare exercise it.
Her "gracious approval" is a matter
Of course after the bill has passed the
two houses.
Since the Seventeenth century, when
parliament repudiated the claims of the
Stuart family and established a rival
claimant on the throne, the choice of ,
sovereign rests with the house of com
mons. Of course, unless for special rea
sons, the direct line would be chosen;
but should one sovereign become obnox
ious he or she would be signing the
death warrant of their respective house.
The monarch serves as a figurehead—as
an official representative of the govern
ment.
None of the royal family, although
occupying seats in the house of lords,
dare take any part in politics. In re
turn for their magnificent salaries they
lay cornerstones, attend public gather
ings and furnish matter for public gossip.
The tendency of late years is toward
the abolishment of the hereditary house
of lords. Although such an event may
not occur very soon, yet it will no doubt
be the final result. The necessary turn
ing point toward such an outcome would
be obstinacy on the part of the lords
toward any favorite measure of the com
mons. The lords appreciate the situa
tion, and as a rule are obedient, and their
approbation is generally only a matter of
form. If they oppose a measure a sec- 1
ond return of it by the commons gener- \
ally has the desired effect, and some un- j
important amendment will probably be j
tacked on merely to preserve their own {
dignity. In this reßpect their proceed- !
ings are generally very tame in com- j
parison with the occasional stormy ses
sions of the lower house.
There is also another way by which
the obstinacy on the part of the lords |
may be overcome. That is by additions
to their own ranks. Peers can be created
at any time and without any limit of
number. Political leaders are often given
peerages for eminent services.
Should some important measure be ob
istructed in the house of lords a suffi
cient number of new peers of the right
faith might be created to overcome the
opposing faction. This extreme is one,
however, that has not been resorted to ]
for many, many years.
The house of commons is a favorite
training place for the heirs of hereditary
peerages. It gives them a training in |
the usages and tactics of debate and leg
islation which grants a certain prestige
when compelled by cruel fate to trans- j
fer their sphere of action to the upper I
house.
A wide difference in the political sys
tems of the two countries is found in the
elective system. The duration of a par- j
liament is indefinite, the time of election
equally so, and other things differ from '
the clockwork regularity of tho Ameri- |
can elective system.
The extreme life of a parliament is ;
seven years, or it may be dissolved at '
any intermediate time by command of
the sovereign; also, in the case of some I
new policy, the members may be obliged j
to submit themselves for re-election on i
that issue. Such was the case with the j
Gladstone party on the Homerule (pies- 1
tion.
When parliament has been dissolved
writs are issued to all the constituencies J
for a new election. A day for nomina
tion is appointed, not simply for party 1
nomination, but each intending candi- j
date's name must be presented. If there
is only one then he is declared elected,
otherwise a poll is ordered for a certain
day, when ballots are deposited by the !
qualified electors as in the states.
To the person of careful observation
it will be apparent that the British voter
resembles in more ways than one the
American voter. While it is true that
the Britisher is a freer agent than his
American cousin, yet he is quite as
easily influenced and has an equal faith i
in the party leaders.
Elections may occur on any day with
in a certain limit, and not simultaneous- I
ly all over the country. Likewise a
man may vote in as many districts as he
possesses the necessary property qualifi
cations. There is not a manhood suf- I
frage here, but one of property, so that ;
one person may possibly vote for several
candidates. The qualifications are of '
three different kinds—a man must pos
sess freehold property which brings in a
clear income of a small amount, or he
must occupy rented premises of the
value of fifty dollars yearly, or, third,
a man must occupy lodgings worth
*1 .35 per week. The two latter require
the occupation of the same premises for
one year previous to election.—S. W.
FOBS in Yankee Blade.
A Queer Superstition.
In Brittany when the body of a
drowned man cannot be found, a lighted
taper is fixed in a loaf of bread, which
is then abandoned to tho retreating cur
rent. When the loaf stops, there it is
supposed the body will be recovered.—
Notes and (Queries.
No Flare Like Home.
i "I've been abroad since last Novem
ber/' said a woman who landed in New
York a few days ago, "and my experi
ence has been one of perversities. To
begin with in sunny Italy last winter
we almost froze to death. I shall never
forget the desolation and chilly discom
fort of those Roman and Florentine
lodgings. In May we went to London,
because that is the month we were told
to enjoy that metropolis. It rained all
the time that it was not so cold we were
perishing. We did the cathedral towns
in uninterrupted rain and mist. My
idea of English cathedrals is set in a
cloud of gray moisture.
"We drove out to Rosalind castle
from Edinburgh in the most pitiless
rainstorm I ever experienced, so that
historic place has also a wet blanket
thrown over it for all time in my mind.
'Go to Devonshire in July for cool
weather,' we were told. We did and
sweltered. The traditional 'green'
English lanes were brown and dry. It
wasn't much better on the continent.
At one place after 4 in the afternoon a
chill mist always settled that pene
trated one's very bones; at others sud
den drenching showers were daily oc
currences.
"I should think Europeans who come
over here must marvel at our monot
ony of glorious sunny days, with our
charming summer twilights fading slow
ly into radiant starlit nights, when one
can be abroad till midnight without
risk. As we sailed up the bay last week
under a sky more brilliantly blue than
any I saw in Italy and through an at
mosphere that would have made a Lon
doner think the millennium had come,
if he should ever see one so clear, and I
realized that this was just a common
New York day, that nobody noticed ex
cept rejoicing prodigals like ourselves,
my heart swelled with delight that I
was American born and home again."—
Her Point of View in New York Times.
The Modern Canoe.
Canoes are now built for special pur
poses, and one canoe is not expected to
fill every need. The open Canadian
style is used for pleasure paddling
either with the single or double blade,
and even the sailing men bring these
boats to camp, in addition to their rac- j
ing canoes, for general use—and "girl
ing." Open canoes, built light and '
sharp, are also used in the paddling j
races—the trophy, tandem, single blade
event, and the club fours. The superi
ority of the double blade paddle over the
single was clearly 6hown in the race of
club fours. The Springfield and New
York crews came in first and second
with double blades, and the Pointe Claire
(Canadian) and Puritan (Boston) crews
were third and fourth with single blades.
This event gave a fine exhibition of
paddling, the Springfield crew winning
easily simply because it had trained to
gether and kept perfect time. The
others were somewhat ragged. The
paddling events were well contested
and showed a renewed interest in this
class of racing, but the sailing men do
not paddle, nor do the paddling men
sail.—Harper's Weekly.
Attacked liy Hints.
Bailey Hoover, a young man employed
I on the Curtis ranch, reports a strange
' experience with birds. He was driving
a single horse buggy from the Fair
ranch, when about two miles from
Knight's Landing he was suddenly |
startled out of a doze by myriads of
birds, which swarmed down upon him,
screaming angrily and flying at him.
The air was literally black with them,
and they viciously attacked the horse,
which was frightened into a frantic
effort to run away.
The young man was scared beyond
his powers of description. He fought
the birds off with his whip, and direct
ing the horse as best he could was soon
beyond their pursuit.
Hoover entertains a superstitious fear |
that the incident portends evil for him, j
and is sure something bad is going to
happen to him before long. He said ]
they were nearly all blackbirds, al
though there appeared to be other |
species among the army of his winged :
enemies.—Woodland Mail.

Killed by Lightning Wlillo Praying.
Mr. John Kearney, a well to do farmer,
whose farm is a few miles south of Hast
ings, Ont., was struck by lighting and
killed recently. Mr. Kearney and l>i*
family were kneeling at their evening
prayers when the eraah came. The elec
tric fluid came in through an open win- '
dow up stairs, passed down through the
floor and struck Mr. Kearney, who was
kneeling below. The shock extinguished
the light, and by the next flash Mrs. Kear
ney saw her husband lying dead across

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
UPPER LEHIGH, October 29.
EDITOR TKIHUNK.—WouId you kindly
allow me the space and insert the
following in your paper, not that I want
to be an intruder upon anyone, or create
any unfriendly feelings towards any
one, but merely to defend my own side
of tlie case, which is as follows:
There appeared in your issue of
< letober 24, as a special correspondence,
headed with its subject, "The Protective
Tariff System and Free Trade," with
the signature attached to it in initial,
J. F. S.
If J. F. S. are really his initials or not,
I do not know, or whether they are
fictitious, but let it be whichever it may,
I think that there wasn't very much
damaging material produced for not
writing his name in full to such a docu
ment. But, being as it corresponds with
my name in full, I therefore feel it my
duly to proceed in a proper way.
There have been in the past numerous
correspondence produced, some that
should the auther be known might prove
dangerous to a certain extent, more or
less, especially such topics as the labor
problem, political opinions and numer
ous other topics that have appeared from
time to time, in times gone by, and most \
certainly will make their reappearance
again.
I therefore take pleasure to announce
that under no circumstances, now or at
any future time, would 1 devote my time
to take up side issues on any such topics
as above mentioned through paper
correspondence, and wish to plainly
state right here that all communications
should have other fictitious names at
tached.
My object of sending this communica
tion is this. Ido not know whether the
correspondent is desirous of willfully in
flecting upon me a personal injury or
not I do not know, but if so 1 would
advise him to leave hands off, but hope
that such may prove not to he the case.
But I presume that both corres
pondant and editor ought to be very
cautious in the future in regard to using
initials of other persons, because, as I
have stated before, that it might prove
to a certain extent damaging upon
innocent parties.
Throughout the future correspondence
I do hope that the correspondent is pos
sessed of all the requirements and
gentlemanly principles by conferring
upon me a great favor, by correcting
that most important error, and in the
future use such other fictitious names
that he may choose that will not inflict
upon the rights of his fellow mankind.
1 remain, respectfully yours,
JAMES F. SCHEIDY.
SANDY RUN, October 28.
Again have the Prohibitionists of th : s
I place put life into this campaign by a i
monster torchlight procession, headed
by the Freeland P. O. S. of A. band, |
and a mass meeting in the school house I
in the interest of their cause. This oc
! curred on Wednesday evening last. ;
j One-half the number seeking admission <
| were refused, and the majority of those j
I inside were voters.
Emmet I). Nichols, Esq., of Wilkes- j
Bar re, the Prohibition county chairman, i
was the orator of the evening, and his '
j logic has created a stir in this place.
1 One feature of the occasion was that it
! was opened and closed with prayer, anil
1 Rev. C. A. Spaulding, of Freeland, was
chairman. John Krewson, of White
Haven, favored the gathering with one
of his recitations.
Mr. Nichols, in his address, related
how, in joint debate with Governor Mc-
Kinley, Ex-Governor St John placed a
tin hat on a chair aside of Mr. MeKin
ley, and said, "This is what Mr. McKin
ley would protect." Then, calling a boy
[to liis side, the Prohibition champion
said, "This is what we would protect."
Verily, are not these things "pointers?"
Newspaper Subscription Lawn.
First—Subscribers who do not give ex
j press notice to the contrary are consider
ed as wishing to renew their subscrip
tions.
Second —If subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send them
until the arrearages are paid.
Third—lf subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals from the post
oflice to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
| their bills and ordered them discon
tinued.
| Fourth—lf subscribers move to other
] places without informing the publisher
and the papers are sent to the former
I address, they are held responsible. •
' Fifth—The courts have decided that
i refusal to take periodicals front the office
or removing and leaving them uncalled
| for is prima facia evidence of intentional
I fraud.
| Sixth—lf subscribers paid in advance
1 they are bound to give notice at the end
of the time, if they do not wish to con
tinue taking it; otherwise the publisher
| is authorized to send it, and the sub
j scriber will be responsible until express
notice, with payment of all arrearages,
{ is sent to the publisher,
j The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any one
for fraud who takes a paper and refuses
to pay for it. Under this law the man
who allows his subscription to run along
for some time unpaid and then orders it
discontinued, or orders the postmaster
I to mark it "refused," and have a postal
card sent notifying the publisher, leaves
j himself liable to arrest and tine the
j same as theft.

Why Men Defer Marriages.
The habits of modern'young men are
antagonistic to that prudence and prep
aration which make it possible for them
to marry at twenty-five. There are
many exceptions of course, but it may
be safely said that a vast number of the
young men who live in our time fill their
spare hours with expensive luxuries. It
costs them a.great deal to dress, and
still more to keep up their social engage
ments. In a score of ways they accus
tom themselves to ways of lifo that
leave no margin between income and
outgo. This having gone on until they
are twenty-five it then calls for more
resolution than many of them command
to begin the sacrifices which accompany
the saving of money. Without money
they cannot marry.
Not a few greatly exaggerate what it
should take two sensible young people to
begin life on, and hastily conclude that
it would be impossible, on an income of
SI,OOO, to start in comfort. So they put
off marriage until after thirty, or do not
marry at all; and it is well that such
men should remain single. We do not
need any BUCII weak fiber in the coming
generation.—John L. Payne in Ladies'
Home Journal.
The Slow Tortoise.
Tho sluggish motions of common land
tortoises or "turtles" lead many persons
to underrate their intelligence. This
"ridiculous slowness," however, arises
from the animal's peculiar structure,
and is no proof of dullness.
The legs of a turtle look more like
crutches than legs. And though the
feet form a strong grappling apparatus
for pulling away a heavy weight, who
could expect swiftness from such toes?'
Some large tortoises nevertheless make
long journeys with more rapidity than
might seem possible.
In the Galapagos islands turtles were
found by Mr. Darwin able to travel four
miles a day—a rate of progress not de
spicable in creatures provided with such
legs; creatures, too, so heavy that six
men were often required to lift one of
them.—Youth's Companion.
One Way of Telling the Time.
"I can always tell the time by looking
at the people who pass my store door,"
asserts a Chestnut street merchant. "In
tho early morning the workingmen go
down; about 8:30 the clerks and type
writers form the crowd. From 9:30 to
1:80 the solid merchants, bankers and
millionaires appear, and then up to 3 or
4 o'clock the shopping army of women
are in the majority, mingled with the
dudes and men of leisure. The solid
men next appear on their way home; the
clerks and office people follow at 5
o'clock, and from 6 to 7 the workingmen
anil girls walk up the thoroughfare."—

Great Infantile Acumen.
Great infantile acumen was displayed
by the small boy in a suburban town
who swallowed a i>enny. "Kitty,"
called his alarmed mother to her sister
in the next room, "send for the doctor,
Willie has swallowed a penny!"
"No, mamma," interposed the terri
fied and frightened victim, "send for
the minister."
"Why?" faltered his mother.
"Because papa says our minister can
get money out of anybody."—New York

The Ugliefit Thing on itinrtli.
Nothing in life is so ugly as a man in
a bathing suit. He is bad enough when
he is well made, ridiculous when he is
scranny, and appalling when his archi
tecture is of the convex order. In the
latter case, he always wears a hori
zontally striped suit. Then, when he
sprawls on the sand at some girl's feet,
half dirty and wholly repulsive, you
want to kick him. Men must have very
little vanity. You never catch a girl
doing anything of that sort. They make
for the bathhouses the moment they
leave the water, like stones out of a cat
apult.—Exchange.

his long curls flying in the breeze and
called out, "I hear a voice that's speak

They Say They Saw a Phantom Train.
The people living in the neighborhood
of CarroHtown are talking of little else
just now than a phantom train which a
dozen citizens declare they saw passing

lias just been opened. This train, they
aver, whistled, puffed and groaned like
an ordinary train, and then, with a
great roar, as though in a mighty colli
sion, vanished. The superstitious think
the phantom train is a warning of a ter
rible accident that will take place on
the new road.—Cor. Philadelphia Rec

VICTORY NOW ASSURED.
ONLY A QUESTION OF HOW LARGE
THE MAJORITIES WILL BE.
Kvery thing Ih favorable for Another
Clean Democratic Sweep in Luzerne
All the County CandidateH Will Cer
tainly he Elected on November 8.
The speakers who were here on Satur
day evening gave it as their candid
opinion that Luzerne county will roll up
a Democratic majority next week such
as will surprise the state. In every dis
trict where they have spoken they have
met with the most cordial reception and
assurances of Republican support.
As one of them remarked, it is now
only a question of which will have the
largest majority. While the candidates
are working together harmoniously, as
Democrats should, yet each is certain of
individual support which his colleagues
may not receive.
Hines cannot possibly have less than
201)0 over Foster. The latter's past re
cord has bee uncovered, and his treach
ery to his own party and the insults he
has offered to veterans will cost him
many votes.
On tho senatorship, however, is where
the gallant light has been made, and the
signs of victory may already be seen.
The entire county, with the exception of
a few professional Democrats of llazle
ton who want to feathea their own nests,
is vigorously opposing the Republican
nominee, C. W. Kline, because he wants
to divide the county and pile on more
taxes all around. The upper end will
roll up a majority for Wright that will
make Kline and his assistant boomers
wish they had never mentioned "Hazle
county." Some have estimated that
Wright's majority will exceed 4000, but
3000 would he nearer the mark.
For sheriff Bill Walters is conceded
the election even by Evans' most inti
mate friends. Mr. Walters is a well
educated farmer, a veteran of the late
war, and qualified in every way to fill
the office. Evans' assistance last fall in
defeating Schwartz has alienated the
support of the lower end German Re
publicans, who are solid for Bill Wal
ters. Nothing less than 2500 majority
will be considered a victory.
Michael C. Russell, of Edwardsville,
is making a canvass for recorder that de
serves the hearty support of every Demo
crat in Luzerne county. His opponent,
Phil Boyle, of Ilazleton, was once a
popular man in the lower end, but the
fact that he accepted the nomination
after it had been cast aside by another,
lowered him considerable in the estima
tion of his Democratic friends. Russell
has his party at his back, and he will
not lose a vote north of Freeland. A
few llazletonianß may help Boyle, but
this will be more than offset by the Re
publicans here and elsewhere who are
openly boasting they will cut both men
because of their nationality and religion.
No Democrat should fail to do his
duty to Dr. H. W. Trimmer, of Lake
township, the nominee for coroner. A
brilliant young Democrat he is, hacked
by a family record that can show half a
century's work for the ticket, and in
respect and honor of liia father, the old
war-horse of N\ bite Haven, he should
he given the majority he deserves.
James Crockett, of Ross township who
was renominated for surveyor, will have
an eaßy road to travel. He is a com
petent official, and understands the work
of that office better than any man in the
county.
