Combined with a power of dissolution, which makes the tenure of the other branch of the Legislature clepenuleret 013 the Minister's will, and with a preetioelly unlimited power of doling out public morrey for local objects, it is not likely to make our Par- liamentary system a pre-eminently peewit and pare expression, as we boast that it is, of the convictions and wishes of the nenPla- BEEPING UP THE ZUNDS. The French aristooraey, after its reign of insolence and vice, when the day of trial came, ran away and left ite king to the guillotine. The British aristooracy happily is not likely to be tried in so tragio a way, and, it it were, would shOW a better frott. But its situation is at this moment critical, and it aces not seem to rise to the emergency. We hear of efforts to make 'up for the fall of rents by speoulations in land and sometimes in American heiresses, but not a 1210r86118a effort in the perform.nee of either social or Parliamentary duty. Nor, unhappily, does the nurnber of mandate decrease. A mom TO REFORM'. That the House of Lords hes acted as the sober second thoaght of the nation, correotirg the rashneas of this populae House'ie mere fiction. , Why, indeed, Shoulds% young lord be less meth than an aid commoner? The Houee of Lords has done notlaing but block all change, as far as it dewed, in the interest- of privilege. It blocked not only Perliennentarty reform, bat ereligiotuk justice, the Treece= of the press, personal liberty end even measures of mere humanity, oath as the reform of ihe criminal law and the abolition of the slave trade. It booked' Pertiementary re- form till the minion Wala brought to the verge of revolatiort, when it enceumbed to 'fear. Had it possessed wisdom and moorage it might !nave usefully modified the change. The House of Lords has never initiated a reform or intprovernent of real importance. Its legieletive barren- ness is almost at complete R.E1 that of our. Senate. NORMAN BL.:0D. Out of the wreck of the feudal baronage arose *benne, arietocraoy of ihe Tudors. This lathe real origin of the present Eng- lish nobitity nonigher spume oan it claim, in spite of the Norman pedigree') which used to figure' in theipeerage till they were Laken in hand by Professor Fretecaan. A few of the old feudel houses survived, and . the heir of one of them, a genuine Norman •by lineage, was some time ego detrained cheating at cards. Tbe Tudor aristocracy was an aristocracy of court minions—par- takers in Henry's plunder of the church and accomplices in his joelleial murders. its ownersbip of church lends is mainly the amount of its attachment to Protestantism and of sach liberalism as it ever displayed. This hifluelace lasted even down to the days of the Stuart Pretenders. About the first sot of the new aristooraoy was •the headed murder of the Proteekor Somerset, who, though not the best amen, had shown &disposition to take the part of tbe people sgaieet upstert oppres- sion. .A.bout ha next aot WAS the betrayal, under Metry, of the national rehigiou, whioh it sold to the Pope for a quiet title to nos &lurch land, while peesants arid meobanics went to the etake for their faith.

But it is a blisterd offspring. The feudal ark. tereby was ark orgeuizing foroe 10 its day.

He said thee nobody would ask whether Nelson was a viscount or a baron. In other words, the title bore no relation to the service or the glory. ROBBED AND CHEATED THE TEMA% The wer egainet rarevolutionary France . was comm iced in the interest of prwilege. In the war the peers ehowed tee tenaoity for wbith aristocracies ere famous. But they threw the whole burden on the people. They mads no sacrifioe themselves of any kind, gave up not a single sinecure, out down not one plethoric salary. The people were pressed into the navy, decoyed into the army, shed their blood under snob commanders as the Duke of York, were starved by war prices of food. The peers sat at home, revelling in the high rents whioh the war prices produced and lauding themselves for their firmness of, purpose. The seamen, on whom the salvation or the country depended, were defrauded of their pay and rations till they were driven to a mutiny which brought the nation to the verge of destruction. Napier said that the British army fought under the cold shade of an aristocracy, end he might have ex. tended his remark with emphasis to the British navy. In the glories of either arm the aristocratic Government had little part. t WON' I' AcCDEP V TEM BIBLE'. A Baptist Minister' Gives Bis Bearers a Dose or tieresy and Then Resigns.

Then be presented his resigns. tion, and it will probably be accepted on Wednesday. In the course of hie sermon he said: "It is questionable wbether Christ gave nee book and told us to swan low it all. We are told that Moses took the account at hand. There is nothing positive as to their authorship, and 1 do not believe that MI of the Bible is inepired of God. "Why are we to believe Paul was in- spired when he says he was not? As to, eternal punishment, I believe mart will alidgys be within the mercy of God. I do not believe Christ when in the manger and while he walked the eitrth was so gonsee crated that he was God. I believe, how- ever, God was in Christ." Mr. Bonsai' is very popular as a pastor. The aceeptanoe of the resignation depends upon whether or not the failure to accept it will be construed as an indorsement . of his views. ONE TOO MANY. A Parson Who Bad ' Two Beans to Ills String. An Amherst, N. 8, despata itay : The Amherst Baptist Church, at a business meeting this evening, passed a very strong paper concerning the conduct or the pastor's late assistant, Mr. Alfred B. Staples. It appears Mr. Staples bas been engaged to Swo or more lanies at the sante time and promised to marry each within a short time. This was rather too txuaeh for any ordinary mortal and the crash oarae on Tuesday last, when the youngess of the ladies came over from New Brunstvion and she and her friends insisted that he should marry her then and there.

The affeotion,however, was rot mutual, and she did not encourage his attention. Miss Tacker was the chief witnese for the Crown. nhe testified that on the evening of December lst ebe went up to the Grand Trunk station to Bee off a lady friend who was going west. After the express came in about 7.30 Plias Tucker and a young man named Gilbert Turner were walking down the platform at the etation when the prieoner rushed eorose the platform and petalled Miss Tucker egainst the train, which happened to be banking up at the time in oraer to couple on a Penmen oar. She fell between the platform and the track near the engine, Forturtately Thos. Hardy, the engine driver, sew Miss Tacker falling under the wheele and stopped the train. Her Shoulder was close te the driving wheel, and if it had tore:lied her the would have been thrown under the fire box. Miss Taoker said as the was passing the ladies' waiting room she saw MoGraire standing near the entrance; after she bad gone e few feet she saw him rusting towards her. He seized her left shoulder with both hands and Plowed her off the platform Her com- panion, Turner, who was walking on the outside, was thrown against the train by the force of the shove, end she fell past him upon the track. Miss Tooker deposed that the prieoner had threatened to kill her several times. In February of hist year he met her on the street near her home in a secluded pert of the town anti told her that he would have revenges for the four years he had spent at Kingston, and that he would swing for her yet. In September last as she was passing hina in the street he swore and threatened to kill her. She took his threate es serious and was afraid of him. Dr. Rayner, of Victoria 'University, was at the Nation when the 000urrence took place. He saw the prisoner rush upon the young woman and throw her towards the wheels of the train. She wee so close to the wheels thee he expected to sae her cut to pieces. The other witneeses eneamiped by the Crown were dilbert Turner, Abe Biotin, Ella Smith, John Macdonald and Thosfferdy, who described the occurrence as they saw it. The defence set up wee that the prisoner had rushed egetinat Miele Tinker by the purest acurident in an effort to Catch a man who was boarding the train. Evidence was offered to show that the prisoner made no attempt to escape and did not know that he had shoved Miss Tucker under the train until he was ar- rested late the same night. The prisoner's °otiose' made & strong effort to ocarvince the jary that Mini Tooker wee too much, bewildered and excited at the time to re- member acourately wheetheennosoe. Jarige Rose told the -jury that the' ques- tion they had to determine was wbether MoGuire's act was the result of simple ac- cident or malicious intent. If they be- lieved Miss Tuoker's evidence the prisoner bad'a spirit of revenge and opportunity to oarry it out showing intent end not acci- dent. After a abort deliberation the jury found the prisoner guilty. He was then formally identified as the same person who at the Fall Assizes in 1885 was tionvicted before Judge O'Connor, at Cobourg, for having shot John Tooker, fether of Miss Tooker, with intent to murder him. Old man Tacker/led forbidden him his house. It was also proved that at the same AliSizeii he was convioted of having committed a grievous &Fleapit upon john Efigenee, deputy jaiter, while in custody awaiting weal. Upon these convictions McGuire was sen- tenced to five years' imprieournent in the Penitentiary at Kingston. Judge Rose deferred messing sentence today, but it is generally expeoted that McGuire will be Sent to prison for a long term. He is a young man &boat 30 years of age and belongs to a respectable family in town. He seems to be possessed by the demon of jealousy. Five Ways to Cure a Vold.
