The systems of appoint- ment and succession are in each case different. In the United Kingdom the systeni of appointment is quite va- ,iuyggqiu 33,131 V re-iisoiiluiu pus pair attain their seats by hereditary suc- cession, while aildltious are made ~ . tl, of the Crown. ln Canada' Senators but the oilice is' not hereditary. In the United States membei-s of the Senate are elected, two for each State by the State Legislatiircs and hold uilice for six years. Neither of these systems has work- cd quite satisfactorily. There is a strong popular demiind in the Uni- ted icingrioin nn- ine nnoiiiion of heicilitnry succession and for a limi- tation of the power of the House of. Lords. in Canada thc tendency has been to make. the Senate much more strongly i_`onscr\'ntivo or more strongly Libcral than the country is. Foiirteen years ago the Canadian Senate was nearly thrcc-fourths (lou- servative und it is now three-fourths Liberal and rapidly becoming 1nore| so. In the United States there is niucli dissatisfaction with tho choice of Senators hy the -State Legisla- tures and ii strong demand has sprung up for direct election of Sena- tors by the people. To this a large majority of the Senators are op- posed. d _ _ ___ HE UPPER HOUSES. , It is in the nature of things ex- tremely difficult to effect reforms in an upper and co-ordinate House oi Parliament to which that House is opposed. Thus in the United states ` the House of Representatives has rc- I peatedly passed a resolution in favor of submitting a constitutional amendment to the State Legisla- tures, changing the method of elect- ing Senators, but the Senate has every time thrown it out. As rust-I ter; now stand the people of the United States would ohvtousll change the method of selecting. Seu- ators but for tha obstacles iii' the way. The people of the United King- dom are about to effect radical changes in the House of Lords. The dominant party in (`auada was before coming into power committed by its platform to such reform of thc Senate “as would bring it into har- mony with thc principles of popular government.” This has not yet been done or attempted, because of the dif- ficulty of formulating a plan of re. form that would be accepted by thc majority of the Senate and at thi saint) time meet with general popu- lar approval. The several Provinces with the exception of Quebec and Nova Scotia, have all, after consid- erable diillculties, got rid of their several Legislative Councils and seem to get along quite as well without them, but in regard to the Upper ,House of the federal Parliament there has not yet arisen any general or widespread demand for its aboli- tion. The need of reform is however _pretty generally conceded. , A PEN SIGN LIST-THE The huge pension list of the United nation is an object lesson to t ‘tury since the War of the Rebellion vived that great struggle are dead, 'out of it. That sum is well on to- lward two dollars per head of the ,population of the’ country, and it equals the cost of the maintenance of .the big British navy. And yet the lpension list has grown from a coni- paratively small beginning. One year ,after the cessation of hostilities the United States Government was DRY- ing eight and a half millions of doi- lars to its disabled soldiers. i In 1867 the amount was swelled to _ly upwards and downwards till 1880 when it suddenly advanced to 57 lniillions, passed the 100 milllvll mark in 1880 and attained a maxi- mum of 158 millions in 1893. These figures are exclusive of the cost, of the Pension Bureau and the pension 1907 amounted to over 110 millions. The extension of the system to in- the allowance of claims which were agencies, which in the 41 years 1866- ton and New York, clude new classes of pensioners, and representative of this-journal regu- at mst rejeqed swelled tha total cities and confers at length with payments larger and larger from ,those engaged in the trade. Care has SEQUEL OF A GREAT WAR. yenrto year despite the natural and swift reduction of the number of pen- sioners by death. , From 1863 to 1910 inclusive the cost: of pensions, the Pension Bureau and agencies has aggregated over four billions of dollars and this is still being swelled at the rate of 157 millions a year. These are some ol the after effects of a great war near- ly half a century after its close. What it cost the North and the South in precious livas, in terrible suffering, in money and in property ldestroyed during the bloody striigglc itself, no accoiiiitnnt can compute. Surely the best energies of the Chris- ‘tian ivorld and of all the agencies for peace may well be expended to prevent by peaceful arbitration thc recurrence of such cruel, costly and calamitous struggles in the future. “Blessed are the peacemakers."
