cnrcKs ON THE PEOPLE.

Aside from being English, you know,
says q writer in an exchange, the only
excuse ever given for the existence OF
the United States senate was, that II
serves as a check on the hAsty legisla-
tion Of the house, which means the
people. This 'check" on the people
has been much lauded, and the ropubli-
cans are especially delighted with every
"check" that can be put upon the peo-
pie. Strangely enough the country
from which we borrowed the wretched
check called the senate, has
itself no check on the alleged
hasty legislation Of Its people. The
Louse OF lords, OF which our senate is q
pinchbeck imitation, dare not for Its
very life, "checkn the will OF the peo-
pie OF England - expressed through
the house OF commons. Nor dare the
Queen check their sovereign will with
o veto, as the President OF the United
States may and does. II is more than
200 years since al act OF parliament has
been vetoed by royalty, and the king or
queen who would venture on q veto,
would be marched 10 the scaffold or In
70 exile. With us, checks and vetoes
are as thick as mosquitoes. Every lit
tie whipper-snRpper Of an executive
from the President and state governor
down to mayors OF cities can veto the
will Of the people at his good pleasure.
Yet, this Is government OF the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people
let us rather say that 1t Is govern
ment Of the people, by the bosses, for
the plutocrats. Workman and Farm

This scene was carried out on We'd
nesday night In house on One Hun

old maiden, who has just arrived from
the sunny shores OF the Mediterranean.
From Castle Garden she had been taken
by friends to a house on One Hundred

skin soon made furor Of excitement

the girl was ieted TO q remarkable de-

SMALL SIZE OF GREAT MEN

1t is a remarkable fact, although
rather paradoxical, it must be admit
ted, that many Of the worlds greatest
men have been small of stature.
Sheridan was known as 'Iittle PHIL
the world over. George B. Mcclellan
was of but little larger build. Napo-
Icons nickname, "The Little Corpo-
RAP is household word in every civil
lized country. 'The Iron Duke"
Che Duke Of Wellington) was also
twitted ON account of his small stature
and big nose. General (Lord) Wolse-
by is said to be ridicnlously small and
to be compelled to shorten his stirrups
until they would hardly serve a 10
vear-old boy when he rides horseback.
Ones minds eye is likely. to picture
Gladstone as giant both physically
and intellectually, but it remains a
fact that the Grand Old Man is but

WONDERFUL EROSION.

! A curious effect of the wear and
tear to which the earth's crust is ever
being subjected is exhibited in the
singularly capped pinnacles existing
on South River, in the Wahsatch
Mountains. There are hundreds of
these slender pillars, ranging IN height
from 40 to 400 feet, most of them
crowned by large caps of stones.
They are not works of human art, as
might be imagined, but are the memo
rial monuments of the hill from which
they have been but by the actions of
air and water. Those pinnacles alone
remain of many square miles of solid
rocks, which have keen washed away
to Il depth of some 400 feet. The
greater hardness of the surface has
caused it to resist corrosion more than
the underlying rock, thus leaving
huge caps of stone perched high in
air on the points of their columns
One double column, capped by a sin
gle stone, form natural bridge both
unique and picturesque.
