From Hoquiam Washingtonian:

The house OF JAS Cooper on the Hump
tulips, was burned last Thursday morn
ing. 1t appears that part OF the logging
crew from Willis's camp were occupying
it and had built fire in the morning
when all at once it seemed to be in a
blaze. Some Of the boys lost everything
they had, clothes, blankets and all.
JADE Culver carries the broom for the
champion OF trout fishers. Last Friday
while fishing, up the Hoquiam, his line
was caught he supposed by whale, but
after playing out about hundred feet of
line and working an hour Or two, he
succeeded in landing the biggest trout
in the history of Grays harbor. 1t was
what is known among local fishermen as
Il "bull salmon trout, and weighed 10
pounds. He caught several others the
same day that weighed 4 pounds each.
Mr.. Culver is very modest about his
catch, but says he claims the prize.

English Constitutional History.

1t Is probable that most American students Of
the English constitution rely mainly on tho
well-known book by Sir T. Erskine May. Since
the publication Of that work. however. so much
light has been cast upon certain aspects of the
subject that many Of his conclusions require
modification. An attempt is made to embody
the outcome of the latest researches In A Stu
dents Manual Of English Const stitutiondl History by
DUDLEY JULIUS MEDLEY Macmilans). Among
the multitudinous topics discussed We have
singled out the new theory regarding the origin
of tho English land system. and the amount
Of the Indictment OF the English to the
Romanized Brtons. the evolution Of the Cabinet
system. the decay Of the royal prerogative. and
the gradual effacement OF the House OF Lords

all that was lost by the revolution Of 1888. we
note that among the methods which William
III. employed to keep the executive authority in
his own hand was the right OF placing veto on
bills that had been accepted by both Houses OF
Parliament. His use OF the veto on no less than
four occasions exceeded any previous example,
nor did after events make IL less unique; his
successors devised new means OF influencing
Parliament, though, except Indirectly, they
dared not oppose the constitutiOnAlly ex-
pressed wishes OF tho nation. Thus, with
the single exception OF a Scotch Militia bill
vetoed by Queen Anne in 1907. the Crowns

II II timely book which has Just been pub
ushed by the scfibners, and which. under the
name OF The Rsitotons Of Japan, smbodies the
lectures delivered At the Union Theological
Seminary BY WILLIAM ELLIOT GRTFFis, d. D.,
who lived In the Mikados empire from 1870 to
1874. and was there engaged In organizing .
system OF public schools. The author gives a
concise account Of the introduction Of Catholi-
oism In the sixteenth century. and OF the recent
revival of Christian missionary activity. But
the chief purpose Of this volume s TO discuss the
three religions. shinto. Confucianlsm, and
Buddhism, which, historically and ac-
A7ally. must be regarded as exercising
the largest influence upon the Japanese
mind. We are cautioned, however. not TO con-
oeive Of the Japanese votaries Of these several
religions as sharply distinguished one from the
other. In the imperial and constitutional Japan
of our day It Ia pronounced probable that the re-
ueion Of at least thirty-cight millions OF Jap
anoss is no single one of the three religions
named. but an amagam OF them all. There is not,
In everyday life, that sharp line of demarcation
between these forms OF belief which the native
or foreign scholar makes. The average Japanese
learns about the gods and draws inspiration
for his patriotism from Shinto, maxims for his
ethical life from Confucius, and his hope Of
what he regards as salvation from Buddhism.
Or. as . native scholar. Nobuta Kaishimoto. ex-
presses It: I'm Japan these three different
systems Of religion ana morality not only live
pogether on friendly terms with one another,
but. In fact, they are blended In tho minds Of

Omittng In this notice any reference to tho
contact with Christianity In the sixteenth CEN
tury, q contact renewed In our own day we may
divide the intellectual history of the japanese
into three eras; The period Of early insular or
purely native thought lasted from before the
Christian era until the eighth century. by which
time Shinto. or the indigenous system OF worship.
had been. as system. reeGated from the people
atlarge to small circle OF scholars and archeol-
ogists. During the second period from 500 A. ID.
20 the beginning OF the seventeenth century,
Buddhism furnished to the nation its religion,
philosophy, and culture. The third period. from
1630A.D until the present time, witnessed a revi-
val OF Shinto and tine introduction OF the devel-
oped Confucian philosophy set forth In China by
Chu Hi in tho twelfth century, which became and
still remains the creed OF a majority OF the edu-
Gated japanese. The ConfuciAnism OF the last
250 years in Japan is not that OF hor early CEN
turios. While the Japanese for a thousand
years only repeated and recited, talking aloud
in intellectual sleep, China was awake and
thinking hard. When, in the seventeenth CEN
tury after tho long feuds and battles OF tho
Japanese middle ages, COnfucianism stepped for
the second time into the Land OF Brave Schol-
ars, IL was no longer with the simple rules OF
conduct and ceremonial OF the ancient days, nor
was II ~ the ally of Buddhism. II came like a
strong man in panOply TO drive Buddhism out,

The relations of the Commons to the Lords
will be found set forth in the third and fifth
chapters. The first step in the ultimate monop-
oily exercised by the Commons in all matters
relating to taxation was taken in 14O7, when
tho claim Of an exclusive right to initi-
ato grants of revenue was recognized. But,
although the coordinate right of initia-
tion was thus lost tho Lords still as
serted the power Of interfering with money
bills by amendment or rejection. The right of
amendment by tho Lords was denied by the
Commons in 1871, and the denial was made
good seven years later. But the Lords still re-
tained the power of altogether rejecting q
money bill. This power. however. remained in
allegiance until 1860. when 1t was exercised
upon bill for the repeal of the paper duties
which formsd part of the financial arrange
ments assented to by the Commons for
the ensuing year. Since then the Commons
have included all the proposed financial meas
ures In one bill; and. as amendment Is admitted
to be out of the question, the Lords have been
constrained to accept tho whole proposal tho
only alternative being q rejection, upon which
they are not prepared to venture. The Com
mons have also In several ways restricted the
judicial power of tho House OF Lords. Upto the
present time. however, the Lords have success
fully asserted A coordinate power of legislating
upon all matters except money bills although,
when the people have definitely pronounced in
favor Of a particular measure. the Lords have
hitherto given way. Mr.. Medley makes only
the most cursory nllusion to the abolition of the
House of Lords by q resolution of the House
of Commons in the Long Parliament in l649.
The sun., 1895-01-20

II has been said that there is scarcely any
legislative innovation conceivable for which
precedent cannot be found in the history OF the
English House OF Commons. The preced ents
for the payment OF members are discussed on
pages 170-1S0 of the book before us. During
the middle ages the Sherffs. to whom tho writs
for the elections were almost always addressed,
found 1t hard TO execute them in many bor-
oughs, by reason of the extreme unwillingness
of persons to become candidates for Parliament,
The cause OF this reluctance Is evident. Tho
summons TO Parliament was equivalent to de-
mand for grant OF taxes, and every one would
bo unwilling to face the reproachos of
his neighbors for what might be con-
sidered undue compliance with the royal
demand. When to this risk Of incurring popu-
lar odium were added the terrors OF a dis
tant journey and the Inconvenience Of absence
from farm or business. we can understand
why, in the words OF DIR. Stubs, 1.-THE ofiice of
representative was not coveted, and we can i'm
agine cases in which the Sheriff would have to
nominate and compel the service OF an unwill-
ing member" Nor were the constituencies on
their part any more eager 10 be represented, for
the members were entitled for their services TO
wages at the rate of four shillings day for the
knights of shires and two shillings for tho bur-
Resses during the parliamentary session, and to
q sum for journey money OF an amount usually
determined in the assembly which elected them
The payment OF wages became a settled custom
as early as tho reign OF Edward H.. the sum due
was collected by the Sheriff Of all those en-
titled TO vote In satisfaction of q royal
writ which was issued to every member
on the last day of the session. Tho
right then, TO the receipt of wages rested on the
common law, but the payment OF a fixed sum,
though usual, Was not compulsory. Thus at
Cambridge, in l427, the constituents barGSlned
with their members TO take less than the nor
mai wages. But, under Henry VIII. the usual
rate was made a matter OF legislative grant in
the case OF the newly enfranchised shires aud
boroughs OF Monmouth and Wales. Il was not
long, however, before electors took advantage
OF the increased Importance OF seat In Parlla-
ment 10 agree with candidates at election that
they would serve for nothing. The GUS
tom o! giving wages, therefore, gradual
ly died away, although. in isolated cases,
payment was demanded and obtained. The
last known instance is in 1881, when the
Chancellor, Lord Nottingham, gave Judgment
in favor OF member for HRrwich, VINO sued
his constituents for his wages Mr.. Medley
omits 60 mention that more than a century
later tho opinion was expressed by high legal
requiring his constituents TO pay him for his
services, II. could not be denied. Al ali events
