The principal article in P,fnaa's Magazine
Tor August is Prof Goodwin Smiths paper on "Ihe
Constitutional Crisis I'm England" i'm which nc traces
the gradual changes whereby political power has been
transferred nom the King TO tie Lords and nom Tue
Lords % the Commons, until the King has heeomo "
mere naurehcad and the House Of Lords merely ieeDe
Obstruction Contrasting the positions Of the sovereign
of Great Britain and the President Of the United States
he SAYS: America is an elective and teriulnaDe mon
Arcby, while Great Britain is crowned republic
which Is rather striking as en- epiewm, 1et 1et eA-
actly true as statement Of TACT MI Oou"h
Rth auparctly believes that the House Of Lords, as
al is destined, sooner
or later abolished Che does not very soonl ana
the House OF Commons, he thinks, ought TO be greatly
modified. "The system Of general elections, lie says
ais Objectionable, both changing all the members OF
The Legislature at and as giving an undue and per
nicous influence 10 the question cry Of the hour 1t
opens the foodgatcs Of popular passion instead OF
equally registering the progress OF public opinion NIL
ton was quite in tie right when he cornSeeu
the Long IaraUent, which lad then maue
itself the Government, TO Go away with dis
solutions and general elections, 20 declare lseu
permanent and fiji up vacancies in its body as they
arose" Isit possible that Mr.. Goodwin Smith is IN ear
nestl II is only by general election that the sentiment
Of the people can be registered and Parliament can
only be changed by gradual hlng up OF vacancies inc
progress Of public opinion not only viii not be reg
istered equally but will not be registered AZ
AL In seasons Of political change the representatives,
will always he far behind their constituents Besucs' IL
II Is not true that general elections change al the
members Of tie Legislature at once Tor IN

Goodwin smith deprecaes the influence Of party as one
of the greatest OF nation: PARTY consecIates
prejudice appauds rancor snatizes larsencs OF view
candOr truthfuness, deTCctOns Of the party talth
1t divides che members of community whose interest
is the same and who If they were free 10 form ther
opinions would probably tend to agreement, into two
hostile camps carrying struggle which, If it has
none Of the bloodshed has goodmanyof the moral evils
Of civil wal" This true of pdriSanSbip hut Of course
not of party yet Nh Goodwin Smith is 50 precise in his
statement and objects SO decidedly 10 the definition Of
marty in its higher sense as given by Burke that We can
hardly mistake his meaning. What, then, are we TO
think Of his remark that the political history OF the
United States has been long struggle between TWO
Dares eliminating il civil WARP Ii has been long
struggle between great principles, one OF freedom
and equality the other of aristOcracy and slavery and
If YOU understand party to be organization OF nel
animated by common principle and working towards
common end YOU may Fay that It has also been contest
OF parties but Mr. Goodwin Smith refuses TO understand
marty in this honorable sense aud his language gives NJ
every reason TO believe that he looks our civil wal
ONLY as the elimination Of long faction fight HIS ante
cedents however forbid TO believe that this Il Wha
he really means As for the Constitutional Crisis In In
gland he las neglected to show that any exists OF E'
other articles IL the magazine we have left ourselves
little room speak. They are nearly all readable. IL
his second paper Of "reminiscences Of Love il
Fiji" Or. T. N. Coan gives plenty o
romance in cocoanut groves and canoes, anc
