Lord Lorne on American Institutions.

Lord Lorne on American Institutions.
From the September Forum.
To foreigners, the great nation which is
the predoninating power in the New World
offers a spectacle of admiration and envy
She is not obliged, through fear of her posi-
| ton being lowered, to place tremendous
tax on the wac e-earning power of her peo-
pie, by the obligation of military and naval
service. With the mass of exports to offer.
and with the immense population demand
ing foreign goods, she will in time draw to
her more commerce than has ever been
handled in the history of the world by any
empire. 1t Is safe to assume that her
millions will at future date prefer to have
their own flag over the countless Cargoes
D. at viii pour from and will pour into her
harbors from Asia and from Europe.
In comparing systems of government,
few of the older republics, empires or king
doms, are found to enjoy more real stability
than the system founded under Washing
ton. The American ship of state is built in
so many compartments, that even if several
became water-logged the ship would float.
This cannot be said of many older nations.
Mere Capitalization, either in the hands of
monarch, or i'll the hands of democratic
chamber" has reached to such point that
any great popular impulse, any wave of
passion promoted by disaster and driven by
envy and poverty, may overturn the vessel
and cause it to become for time helpless
wreck. This is not conceivable in the
case of the United States. There is so
much check and counter check, so slow an
operation of the forces of movement, that
men have time to consider To those vino
look upon tho United States from Eu-
ropean standpoint, it appears that there is
far more of real sovereignty in the hands of
the President than there is in the hands of
any of the kings who, in Europe, govern by
means of limitations of the English consti-
tuition. Th9t constitution maEes the SOW
ereign to reign, but does not allow him or
her to govern In modified forms this is the
same in Italy, in Sweden and Norway, in
B -lgum and in Spain. 1t is the same in the
republic of France. Only in Russia, and to
less extent in Germany, does the monarch
Immediately sway the destinies of his
people

The stock market to-day was more active and
higher throughout. The raid of last evening
was not continued this morning, but instead
there seemed IN unusual anxiety TO cover shorts
in the early trading, and this gave the market
at times buoyant tone. When this movement
was satisfied there came more urgent demand
from new buyers, and the upward movement in
prices was suffered TO lag long at time. The
feeling in st. Paul seemed TO have undergone a
change for the better, reports that the dividend
would be Ia or 116 per cent being circulated,
and Mr.. Armour was even said to be prepared
to furnish money for a regular ~ per cent.
dividend. The news Of the day was almost en-
tirely bush, and very favorable reports of the
business done by the trunk lines found puhlica-

hands Gould stocks were largely traded ia,
and there was more attention paid TO several
specalties than usual of late, many of them
making marked advances, among which Pull

Toward afterno On there were free realizations,
which aggregated the list off from best prices,
but the movement was OF comparatively short
duration, and the tone or market again became
strong in the final trading. The close was fairly
active and strong at small fractions under the

How Bill Nye Looks.

In appearance Bill Nye has changed
greatly of late years. The handsome
feature about him used to be his long
and flowing brown beard. He has been
shorn of the glory of h 8 manhood. If
any of his Laramie friends were to see
him now they would not recogn re him.
He is now at least twice as homely rs
in the days of yore. He is tall as a
bean pole. as thin rs rail"
And with just enough hair on his head
to make everybody who has kindly
feeling for him wish there
was q great deal more. He
looks somewhat like Mephisto
and Irving" only with the drawl
left out. Withal he is so frighfully and
cadaverously ugly that the Press Club
has positively refused TO distributed
any Autographs of him for fenr of scar
ing people away from the entertain
ment. There is one good point about
this-it makes the effect of a story or
quaint bit of humor. when told by him.
