invitation to enter was given. Then the Com.
mons was commanded to attend the House of
Lords to hear Her Majesty's pleasure The
return was then made by the Lords official
followed by the Commons preceded by the Ser
geant bearing the mace, the corresponding
symbol of that House.
There are go members of the House of Com.
mons. OF these the Government (party in
power sit on the right hand of the Speakers
chair and the opposition on the left. The pro-
ceedings, especially on party measures resemble
a family quarrel First one side speaks, then
the other, until there is considerable excite
ment at times. 1t is very convenient to have
members separated on such occasions.
The Speaker has great power vested in his
office. The Leader of the House has the ar
ranging of the order of the day. The magnii-
cent salary of $50, 900 is given to the Speak r,
and he is generally awarded a peerage after a
few years.
The number of persons legislated for by the
Imperial Parliament is indeed large. No legis-
latiye body in the world will compare with it
as to the millions directly affected by its meas

The magnificent pile Of buildings situated

Only One Man in the Crowd.

~ was one of party of eight once held up
by lone highwayman, said p. j. Martin. a
bridge contractor, to st. Louis reporter; /
was travelling by stage in Montana. The
party consisted of two army oficera, specula-
tor, four miners, and myself.
The stage had been held up pretty fire..
quently, so we all went fixed for trouble.
Every man had brace of six. shooters, and we
were just aching to have the road -agents tackle
US; at least, we talked that way. We com.
mented very unfavorObly upon men who
yielded to the demands of the freebooters with
out struggle, and promised them a warm
time If they tackled us. One man had little
to say. He was the SPECTATOR, a red HEADED
man with squint. Finally one of the army
officers asked him what he would do if the
robbers attacked us, and he replied that he did
not know.
As we swung around sharp bend in the
road. the stage pulled up with jerk, the driver
threw up his hands, and almost before we knew
it, We were looking into the barrel of a Win
chester. Well, sir, that lone robber marched
US out and stood US up in line, with our hands
above our heads. Then he threw each man
small sack and made him pull it over his head
I'VE all complied. but one The red-headed
Spectator pulled his gun and shot the bandit
SO full of holes that he died before he could
touch the ground. Then he climbed up,
knocked the driver off the box, and drove the
stage into the next station, with the most crest
fallen lot of braggarts aboard that ever wore
guns and neglected to use them"

Decreasing Families.


The decrease in the size of families is sub.
ject which causes some alarm. Taking the
United States as a whole, it is found by the
census figures that in 1850 the average family
consisted of 5.55 persons. There has been a
gradua decrease, it being in 1860 528, i'm 1870,
500, in 1880. 5.04, and in 1890, 494. Looking at
the different geographical divisions, it is found
that this rule holds true except in the Western
division, where the average size of the family
has risen from 41S in 1850 to 4.SS in 1890, the
increase having been steady through the inter-
mediate decades This result would have been
expected, of course, on account of the set
Element of the West in the last few years,
the population having been increased rap
idly, and being more and more brought to
the family basis instead Of that of sim
gle individuals young families settling in
Western Territories. The small average size of
the family in Oklahoma, now Territory Just
opened for settlement, shows the influence of
new settlements upon the size of the family.
In Oklahoma the size of the family will in
crease until population becomes fairly dense.
when it will follow the rule of older c0mmuni-
ties and decrease. When population becomes
more or less urban in character the maximum
is reached, and after that a constantly reced-
ing average will probably be shown at each
succeeding census.

are no assemblies corresponding with State
Legislatures. Local bills for the four countries
of Great Britain, which in America would
come before such bodies, would have to be
brought before the National assembly.
The people have jealously fostered that
privilege. As result the position of the two
Houses has been almost reversed within the
past two or three centuries. Formerly the
Lords were the body powerful, while the faith
full Commons were swayed by the Royal COM
mand. Though theoretically it still probably
has less power than the House of Representa-
tives yet practically its power is almost with
out restraint. its power is almost imperial, if
not by statute at least by usurpation.
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 Queens speech" so called, read at the
opening of every Parliament is prepared by the
leaders of the prevailing party and contains
setting forth of the measures which it is pur-
posed to pass. Although at heart 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, /

There is no salary attached to the position Of
member OF Parliament. The honor of the suffix
III. z. is supposed to be sufficient remuneration
for the necessary sacrifice of time and money
incidental 10 a campaign and London resi-
dence of several years. Besides, when once
elected a member cannot resign. This result is
accomplished by accepting the so.called "Chil-
tern Hundreds" which gives release from Off

coveted by the wealthy. AS there is no resi-

ency In the Kingdom. So any one wishing to
enter Parliament hunts about for a constitu-

Frequently no local man be found who is
willing to stand for the position.
The result Of the no-pay system is a scarcity
of labor candidates. Unless his adherents are
willing to undertake the support OF such can

the honor of the position. While it bars out a
number OF good men it may possibly have an
equal cogency in barring out some adventures

| wide difference in the political systems of
| the two countries is found in the elective sys-
| TEN. The duration of Parliament is indef-
mite, the time of election equally so, and other
things differ from the clock work regularity of
| the American elective system.
The extreme life Of Parliament is seven
years, it may be dissolved at any interme-
diate time by command of the Sovereign; also,
in the case of some new policy, the members
may be obliged to submit themselves for re-
election on that issue. Such was the case with
the Gladstone party on the Home-Rule ques-
tion.
When Parliament has been dissolved, writs
are issued to all the constituencies for a new
election. A day for nomination is appointed,
not simply for party nomination, but each IN
tending candidates name must be presented.
If there is only one, then he is declared elected.
Otherwise, poll is ordered for 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 the American voter.

as easily influenced, and has an equal faith in

certain limit, and not simultaneously all over
the country. Likewise, man may vote in rs
many districts as he possesses the necessary
property qualifications There is not manhood
suffrage here, but one of property; so that one
person may possibly vote for several candidates.
The qualifications are of three different kinds.
man must possess freehold property which
brings in a clear income of a small amount, or
be must occupy rented premises of the value of
$50 yearly; or, third, man must occupy lodg-
ings worth SIPS per week. The two latter re-
qure the occupation of the same premises for
one year previous to election.
Under the last law it is possible for almost
any respectable workman to be entitled to
vote; yet there is considerable agitation of the
one-man one-vote theory, and it will probably
eventually prevail.
The form of partisan organization that exists
in England is a little more modified than that
of our country, and it serves to make better
government.
Under the present state of affairs any 10 men
whose names are duly registered have the
power to nominate candidate, and it will
thus be seen that any number of candidates
may be nominated with but little chance of
anything bearing resemblance to a political
machine.

The tendency Of late years is toward the
adjustment of the hereditary House of Lords
Although such an event may not occur very
soon, yet il viii, doubt, be the final result
HE necessary turning point toward such an
outcome would be obstinacy on the part of the
Lords toward 6ny favOrite measure of the
Commons. The Lords appreciate the situation
and as a rule are obedient and their approba-
ton is generally only a matter of form. If
they oppose measure, second return of il by
the Commons generally has the desired effect
and some unimportant amendment will prob
ably be tackled on merely to preserve their
own dignity. In this respect their proceed
ings are generally very tame in comparison
with the occasional stormy sessions of the
Lower House.
There is also another way by which the OBJ
stlnacy on the part of the Lords may be over
come. 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.

new peers OF the right faith might be created
