LIPTON'S LUCK.
Spectators Not Aware of the Scheme
Until Too Late.

Spectators Not Aware of the Scheme
Until Too Late.
Sir Thomas Upton is reported to
have cleared s35O,OOO by a pork deal
in Chicago. 1t has also been said that
Upton had so firm a hold on Chicago
pork that he might have doubled his
winnings had he been so minded. The
Chicago pork spectators are puzzled
to know how the thing was done.
They had supposed themselves to know
a thing or two about the pork mar
ket, and yet they let this stranger beat
them out of S35O,0O0. This stranger
made a corner in October pork, which
raised the price from $11 to $40 bar
rel. While this operation was going
on there was plenty of pork in the
country The pork spectators whose
business it was to know where and at
what figure pork was held did not sus-
pect what was going on until they
were called upon to fill their contracts
at Mr.. Lipton's own price. This pork
operation may inspire doubt in the
minds of yachtsmen if Mr.. Lipton's
expressed determination to carry the
Americas cup back with him, if he
can do so by fair means, may mean
more than it was supposed to mean
when the warning note was uttered

PARLIAMENT OF sARK.
Chefs Piaids Is House of Hereditary
Legislators.

The other day / attended the open
ing Of the, as yet, unreformed Parlia-
ment Of Sark, says a writer in the
London Daily Mail. There is but one
house, and it is called the Chefs ,Plaids.
So far so good, for believe every sane
political reformer agrees that the mod
ell state should have one legislative
body only. But alas, this single house
Is exclusively house of landlords, ex-
clusively house Of hereditary legis-
lators. The people Of the island are
not allowed to elect their representa-
tives. Land alone is represented; not
wealth, nor intellect, nor the tiling
masses, nor the submerged tenth. And
the land is represented in peculiar
way. When the island, then uninhab-
tied, was granted in 1865 by Queen
Elizabeth to Heller de Carteret, Lord
Of st. Ouen in Jersey, it was stipulated
that he should colonize it and should
grant parts of it to 40 of his retain
ers or followers as copyholders or GUS
tomary tenants under him. 1t was also
stipulated that these tenants, though
they might ALLEVIATE their holdings
upon nnayreent to the lord Of thir-
teenth of the value, might on no ac-
count subdivide them. Thus there are
still in the island the original 40 es-
tates, and the holder of each estate &C.
cupies with regard to the seigneur, or
lord, almost exactly the same posi-
ton as "leude" or baron occupied
in the old feudal days Of Normandy
with regard to the sovereign. The ex-
listing Parliament of Sark is, in effect,
the assemble des leudes ct barons"
of the island. The law of strict primo
geniture obtains, and there would be
today 40 hereditary members of the
Chefs Plaids but for two circum-
stances. One is that if tenant hap
pens to be woman she does not sit,
though she may vote in the house by
proxy. The other is that, in the course
of years, certain of the members, by
inheritance or purchase, have acquired
more than one estate. There are now,
therefore, not more than about 30 ac-
tual sitting members of the Chefs
Plaids. They representa- they can
be said to representa- population OF
some $40 souls and an extent Of about
1875 acres.
