Yet any stranger coming to England at present would be quite Justified In supposing the peers could aot Ccmyright ar.d dinner time anJ vote that they , shaet become Ur. And they don't. Prom the million whues will has ora or been thwarted there ascends a pro-- d howl of righteous Indignation. This thing has got to stop, they shriek. The pern must be deprived of their power to say no1' to the sovereign Is go perple. While all this hub-buing on around them the equanimity of the noble hereditary legislators remains undisturbed. They are letting the other fellows do all the worrying. They just look on with that engaging air of which constitutes their moot sulking charm. Because they have been there before. They have been under sentenoe of political extinction several times. The cry, "mend them or end them," has Bounded in their can so often that it has lost all tenon for them. Gladstone raised; Lord Rosebery utr teed It; every liberal premier of modem times has threatened It. They have seen many storm clouds gather about them In the past and roll harmlessly away. The storm that now rapes about them is but a gentle xeihyr compared with that which swpt over them before they yielded to the great reform act of 1132. Then mobs hunted peers and bishops through the streets and threatened to storm the king's palace. The Duke of Wellington was then their leader. A a statesman Englands greatest soldier stood for all that was retrograde la politics. He cams perilously near getting the house of lords g smashed. But the peers, mors than he, aved themselves by giving In in the nick of time. With atl their obstinacy, folly and prejudice, tbe hare proved time and again that they possess the political , instinct which tells them when they must either give way or go under. That Is why they have hern neither mended or ended. That Is why they do not regard themselves as In any serious jeopardy now. Either to lick them into some sort of shape or In to abolish them and substitute their stead a differently constituted body would take a lot of time and trouble. Legally neither oould be dons without their consent. And when they have climbed down other reforms monopolise attention, end they are left free to play the same old game when the storm has passed. That le what they are counting on now. Of oourse, If Sir ' Hsnry Campbell-Bannermawere, an Oliver Cromwell he would settle accounts with them In .live minutes.

This speaks well far the stability and responsibility of the men who are backing the game la Its larger scope. Chicago Teams In Luck. The world's rhamplon Chicago White Box and the National league champion Chicago Cuba have both been unusually fortunate In holding tho stellar men of their last year's teams. Of course they had to raise salaries In soma instances to hold their chief mainstays, for whenever a team wlna a championship rival club owners combine end aeek t coax away able members of the teem.
