A MEETING OF THE CABINET.

attorney general.
They meet at stated intervals and
whenever the president summons
them to the White House. Washing
ton originated the custom of consult
ing the heads of the various depart
ments on all important questions,
and every president since has follow
ed his example. The term cabinet
was first used in England to describe
the body of men who particularly en-
joyed the sovereign's confidence, and
who were considered to be his adei-
sors.
There is a great deal OF differenc
between cabinets abroad and in this
country. If the French or English
pr emier resigns, the cabinet is bro
ken, and new one must be formed.
Such an event, too, shows that the
premier and his cabinet are not
backed by the favor of the country
as expressed through the chamber of
deputies or the house of commons. as
the case may be, and means the fall
of the existing government.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1893-04-13

In America the secl etary of state,
who is virtually premier, or any 9TH
er member of the cabinet may resign
without causing ripple of excite
ment, and each member holds his
Office regardless of what congress
may think of his acts. The presi-
dent alone has the power to appoint
and 10 compel designations. Abroad
the cabinet is considered responsible
for measures proposed, but here the
president is the only one held account
able, and his cabinet officers are
merely lieutenants who execute his
commands, and whose counsel he
receives if it meets his approval or
rejects if it does not.
A cabinet crisis abroad shakes ma
ton. but the entire cabinet may re-
sign here. If it so desires, and no up
heaval will occur except in the news
papers. The members of the Ameri-
can cabinet cannot hold seats in con-
gress, while those of the British cabi-
net must be newly elected to parli-
ment before taking portfolio.

The CREED OF MODERN DEMOCRACY.
If the following Democratic creed
is not correct we will cheerfully re-
wise it:
All men who oppose Democracy
are office-seekers ami demagogues.
The Democratic party is absolute
ly right. Therefore any means en-
ployed to keep it in power are neces-
sarily righteous.
If the Democratic party blunders
we should remember that no human
organization can be perfect. If the
other party blunders we should ex-
pose its \ unholy designs against
American manhood.
Whatever the party demands must
be right and just, for it has always
been infallible.
Whatever policy Mr.. Cleveland
pursues is right notwithstanding
our previously conceived ideas to the
contrary and we have the Hottest
contempt for the man who dares to
oppose with his puny intellect the
wisdom if SO great statesman.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1893-04-13

The Legislature failed when il
tried to cripple the Alliance by at
tempting to stop lecturing. The
brethren all over the State see the
mean and partisan purpose, SO they
are offering to pay the expenses of
lecturers. If the Legislature had
had the power it would probably
passed a law prohibiting Alliance
papers from circulating through the
mails.

The Kansas Free Press says: "A

is not an unusual thing to hear
