MONARCHICAI PRUSSIA.
The Work of Legislation Rests Entirely
with the Government.

with the Government.
How real is the monarchical power to-
day. in spite of the fact that the lower
chamber of the diet is elected by uni
versal suffrage-tempered it is true,
by the obsolete "three-class-system"
will be best explained by few illus
trations. Not only is the nomination
and dismissal of ministers the kings
exclusive business, but against them
the diet has not the shadow of authori-
ty. IF one would win your conf
dence," Prince Bismarck told the lower
chamber once, The must first surrender
himself to you in a manner which,
for a minister of the king of Prussia,
is not possible. We should then be no
longer the kings ministers, but the
ministers of parliament-your minis
ters.-and to that, | hope, in Gods
name, we shall never come" minis
ters," it is true. ARE responsible" But
the responsibility is only to he kin ~
for the diet is unable to secure then
removal either by vote or petition, or
even impeachment. Nor can a legisla-
tive vote. even though the unanimous
vote of the houses, shake cabinet,
force it to do what it has no mind to
do, or compass dissolution.
Though the king is represented in
the chambers by ministers, he does not
surrender to them his executive power.
The consti .ution sets forth that the
''person of the king is inviolable," and
that (save ordinances relating to the
army ''all government documents re-
auire for their validity the counter
signature of a minister" Neverthe-
less, King William /. consistently con-
tended that mis- right to conduct the
government and policy of the country

by the constitu, On, and he insisted
that ministerial documents bearing his
signature must always be regarded as
expressing independent royal de-
cisions." As nominally in England,
Prussia possesses three legislative or
gans- the crown, a house of lords (her-
renhaus), and a house of deputies
(abgeordnetennaus). But in Prussia
the power of the crown in this respect
is as vital and valid to-day as before
the year 1850, and no law can be passed
unless it possesses the full approval OF
the king and his advisers. The conse-
quence of this is that, though each OF
the three legislative organs possesses
the right of initiating bills, it is COM
paratively seldom that any important
measure proceeds from either parties
or private members, and more seldom
still that such measures succeed in
passing. In general, the work of legis-
lation, like that of administration,
rests with the government, while the
chambers have TO be contented with
the somewhat arid occupation of de.
bate, leading to sanction or rejection OF
the measures proposed, as the case
may be.-London Fortnightly Review.

Prof. Order will travel any distance to

secured sketches OF $50 specimens.
1t might be imagined that one pow.

but this is very far from being the case,
particularly where historical horns are
concerned. In old times these articles
were much priced for any associations
they might have, and much care was
frequently bestowed in identifying
them. Many of them were elaborately
carved with different sorts Of devices,
including representations of battle.

portraits OF conspicuous personages.
In each of his $50 sketches Prof.

of Silence.
Yves minister Gazette.
AS a conversationalist, Mr. Gladstone
has always been famous, and if his
table talks" had been reported, they
would have made some of the most
brilliant literary contributions of tho
century. II is well known that, when
ministerial or parliamentary dinner was
given in Downing street, not only when
Mr.. Gladstone was in the prime of life,
but during quite recent years, Mrs.
Gladstone and her daughters. the only
ladies who had been present at these
political entertainments, often yearned
to go back in the dining-room, whence,
after they had retired, they still heard
peal after peal of merriment come.
There is not u subject under the sun ON
which Mr.. Gladstone cannot, If it so
pleascs him, talk with exceptional fasci-
nation.
Nevertheless, he is not always in the
mood for talk. There have always been
times when he was silent and absorbed,
and when not even his best friends
could arouse him from this thoughtful
ness. II is the same now as it has
always been. Mr.. Gladstone is not one
whit less brilliant whenever he does talk;
but now, as before, he has periods of
abstraction when "silence is golden"
