The London Times makes the following very ex-
traordinary statements relative to the British House
| of Lords
1.-THE British House of Lords is the creation of
near thousand years. and represents, not one, bat
many elements of stability and power. 1t represents
property, social rank, hereditary and historical
prestige, the hierarchy, the immediate influences OF
the crown and of the dominant party, military and
diplomatic talents, the highest legal wisdom and
probty of the age. It varies even from day to
another. Enter the House in the morning, and you
will see legal tribunal; in the evening, and you
will see synod of diyines. On Monday you will
find our great territorial mobiles discussing the right
and duties of property; Tuesday you will hear
field marshals, ex- governors, and Indian comman'
ders-in-chef discussing colonies and wars. Perhaps
however, the most remarkable feature of this body
is the variety but the general paucty of the at

hundred senators had been busly at work. In fact

been long and important sittings of only three Oh
four peers. What is the meaning of this spare al
tendance? 1t is that the House of Lords works more
by its veto than by its initiation. 1t has been com
pared to the College of Augu-s which every nov
