Between States the only check on injustice is force, and in morality and civilization each people must play its own part and promote its own ends and ideals.

The deference shown him by the cashier seemed to indicate that this big check was not the extent of A. Jones' credit there, by any means.

The only check upon this system is the chance that the temerity engendered by irresponsible power may lead the executive to measures which, as in the case of Kansas, shall open the eyes of thinking men to the real designs and objects of those in office.

These checks are undoubtedly only different modifications of the same great popular principle which lies at the foundation of the whole, but are not on that account to be less regarded or less obligatory.

A check is a draft for immediate payment, drawn upon a bank or banker.

Even checks and drafts are merely substitutes for money.

"The check isn't a gift at all.

"We believe, with the Rev. Mr. Malthus, that population has a tendency to increase faster than the means of existence, and that some checks must therefore exercise control over population; the checks now exercised are semi-starvation and preventible disease; the enormous mortality among the infants of the poor is one of the checks which now keeps down the population.

The yellowish-gray checks were stubble-fieldsthe remains of the oat-crop which had grown there the summer before.

The sign, except that the letters were not even, was like this: "CHECKS MUST BE CASHED BY THE ONER OR THEY AIN'T CASHED" The lean man read and looked at Casey humbly.

The checks which the people imposed on their public servants in the adoption of the Constitution are the best evidence of their capacity for self-government.

The misery check, as Malthus called all those influences that are not prudential, is an ugly phrase not fully justified.

The brown checks with the yellow edges were, undoubtedly, beech-tree forests; for in these you'll find the big trees which grow in the heart of the forestnaked in winter; while the little beech-trees, which grow along the borders, keep their dry, yellowed leaves way into the spring.

It was a perfect feu d'enfer, and the loss on our side became so heavy that a temporary check was the result, and it was only with great trouble that the men could be urged on.

" "Whose check is ithis or the company's?" "I really don't know," she answered simply.

In Daniel Deronda, when considering the causes which prevent men from desecrating their fathers' tombs for material gain, she says, "The only check to be alleged is a sentiment, which will coerce none who do not hold that sentiments are the better part of the world's wealth."
