<ni* SWING OP TIIB PENDULUM.
Thera was a time, and not no long
ago, when the average Intelligent
• American was convinced th.it the aboil
tlon of the British hours of lords was
only a matter of a few years. The
British upper house wan looked upon
on this sids of the water as fSe ef-
fsteal of the effete, an institution that
must eventually fall to pieces frbm
sheer uselessness. Moreover. It was
believed that a majority of intelligent
Englishmen were of the same opinion.
Thin impression was natural enough,
and had no little foundation, Mr. Glad
stone having put the abolition or
"reform” of the lords on the pro
gramme of the Liberal party.
But to Judge from the Indications,
rutdi a suggestion would now be
laughed at from one end of the United
Kingdom to the other. There has been
n marked change. According to an
article in the Manchester Guardian,
the house of lords at present “next to
the crown, Is the most popular insti
tution In the country." Tbo statement
Is the more forcible as coming from
n Radical member of the Liberal par
ty who confesses that It Is not worth
while to cherish Illusions. He nays
that much of the power of the house
of lord* has been gained by usurpation
In the course of centuries, yet the peo
ple nr<- not alarmed, and the number-
l« <•- mt*«l< c of the lords In withstand -
Ing Liberal measures have not made
them odious. "Today,” says the Gusrd-
bn’* article, "they are our masters,
on ! the English nation seems to love
f hMr, mastery."
The cause assigned Is that monarchy
Jia« again become popular, owing to the
failure of the British democracy *to
real ltd the hopes of Its friends. The
pendulum, In other words, has swung
back. A similar process, though not
In the direction of monarchy, has been
witnessed In the United States. Cer
tain Ideals and theories that were once
most popular now excite little Interest
and no enthusiasm. Nations as well as
Individuals have fads that pass and
may or may not return again. A fad
so serious and tenacious ns democracy,
however, will no doubt become popular
again even In England, and tho year
1920 an earlier date will probably
And everybody talking once more of
the abolition of the house of lords.
TIIB BAXPRR-LO« in SESSION,
lost readers of Kipling’.- ’.luu —
'Book * tales must have* been struck by
thf r<?«cmblancc between hts various as
sortments of animals to the various as
sortment* of men and races, and par
ticularly by the suggestion of the child
like races in his "bunderlog" or mon
key tribe. All *u<h readers will ap
preciate the cartoon representing the
Hawaiian legislature as the bander-log,
or monkey folk In council, and quoting
Kipling beneath a* follows:
All tbs talk we ever have beard
Uttered by bat or beast or bird—
Hide or fin or scalo or feather—
.lubber It quickly and all together!
Excellent! Wonderful! Once again!
Now we are talking Just like
Let'* pretend we an—never mind.
Brother, thy tali hangs down behind*
This Is the way of the Monkey Kind.
This is a trifle rough on the Hawaiian
legislature, the majority of which arc
native Kanakas, but the amount of
vain and foolish jabbering Indicated in
the reports of the proceedings is unde
niably very suggestive, The session
was characterized by the Introduction
of absurd bills and nonsensical chatter.
One dusky solon, for example, "proved
his erudition in matters constitutional
by proposing that the legislature should
repeal the organic act by which the
territory was established, os if this
were n Kanaka affair pure and elm-
pie,” and another, who wanted to fore
stall the practice of cremation "twi»t?tt
himself -Into a knot" In .order to sug
gest what the cremated would suffer.
The Hawaiian Is not the first legis
lative bander-log that has been In ses
sion under the protecting folds of the
American flag. The same vainglorious
and foolish chatter was heard from six
to tight years after the civil war in
the legislative hslls of every Southern
state. The only difference Is that in
Haw’all the bander-log represent the
majority as well as the original posses
sors of the country and are therefore
not unreasonable In their claims to
tho right they now enjoy, while in the
South the bander-log sessions were nb*
soiutely without reason. Justice or ex
cuse, and were purely and simply the
culminating act of revenge wreaked
upon a proud and broken people. The
one la comedy, the other was tragedy.

T HE ABSURDITY of our preten
tious Ignorance of the writers on
the ftate of our first colony
would be'amurinff If it were not pro
voking, and yet the school girls and
aged dames who speak so glibly about
Puritans and cavallenv and the blue
blood* and the grand gentleman
the old Dominion, are not so
much to blame as one would think,
for the sidelights.;have never been
thrown bn the p3ges of Virginia his
tory. I have Just) finished that very
entertaining book “Virginia and Her
Neighbor*/' by John Firke, whp has
ao recently died. It tells the truth,
and as far as Mr. Fiske knew nothing
but the truth, but one reading it will
soon see that what others had not
written the great history writer had
failed to find. My friend. President
Tyler of William and Mary College,
and Mr. Stannard, secretary of the
Virginia Historical Society, in unearth
ing the old record* have too largely
confined themselves to those promi
nent and cultured people, who were In
such force in Eastern Virginia, and
yet who after ail were so small a part
of the • people. 1 have made a some
what careful study of a number of
old records, among them an old book
made in 1638 In Norfolk pariah 100
years before Norfolk, the city, was
founded. The old book wap the only
one kept by the county court, and it
required a magnifying glass In order
to enable me to make out the entry*.
The flr»t entry I noticed shows the
rigidity of the laws against misde
meanors of a serious kind. Daniel and
Eleanor had been guilty of crime. He
was to stand In a white sheet in the
church at Lynn Haven and make con
fession of hla sin, and she was to have
ten lashes »n her back. This was In
1642.
One guilty of scandalizing another
was to make humble confession on her
bare knees In the church.
There waa a suit in court for two
barrel a of corn, due for two years, and
one for making four shirts, and one
for ten days’ work, and one for two
kids.
In 1643 the first parlrh priest was
inducted. He was Tho*. Harrison, and
waa a Puritan in his religious views.
He preached in private houses, and
the salary allowed him was 100 pounds
sterling. He had Lynn Haven, Se-
wall's Point and Elizabeth river as his
churchep.
In 1613 the first Jury waa called. It
consisted of Barth Hoskins, Edward
llall, Thoa. Chiceley, Thos. Keeling,
Thos. Causen, Wm. Davis, Mathew
Phillip*, James Smith, Francis Land,
CMrlitopher Burroughs and Simon
Hancock. The first court was Edw’d
VVyndham, Jno. Slbsey, Henry Wood-
rop, Wm. Julian, Buth Haynes, Henry
Sewell, Francis Mam>n, Henry Catch
ing.
The court took cognlzdnce of all of
fenses. One was convicted of scandal
izing a neighbor, and she waa sen
tenced to thirty lashes on her bare
back.
“George Rutland shall give security
that he will be industrious and take
care of his children or be sent from
constable to constable/'

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ga., July 27.—
The weather this week has been clear,
warm and some wind. Where the
ground has not been plowed since the
rain, crops are suffering. A good rain
all over this section would do a won
derful amount of good. Still we have
been blessed so much more than other
sections we are putting up. no com
plaint.
Our town is still on the building
boom. The contract for the new cdurl
house and Jail was let a few days ago
to the Manley Manufacturing Com
pany of Atlanta; both buildings to cost
about $25,000. Work will probably com
mence on these buildings about the 1st
of September.
At a meeting of the board of trus
tees and the board of education a few
days ago the question of building qn
annex and auditorium ;ln connection
with Auburn Institute was discussed
and n meeting of the citizens of tha
town and community was called for
Monday night next. Both are anxious
that the patrons of the school and in
fact every one feeling an interest in
education be present, that the matter
may be fully and freely discussed. It
Is to be hoped that these Improvements
can be made. They certainly will -fill
a long-felt need.
