people from any remission of the altogether in

that cemency has always been regarded as one
OF the principal prerogat!ves of the crown; but
this prerogative, like every other official act of
the crown, only be exercised with the in
dorsement of a minister willing to become re-
sponsible to the nation for the doings of the
sovereign. In England. for instance. the SOW
ereign grant pardon to the convicted
criminal commute capital sentence only
with the sanction and approval of the Secretary
of State for the Home Department And the
latter does not give this approval until he has
received reports, only from the judge who
pronounced the sentence, but also from every
other judicial dignitary whom he may care to
consult. For. as explained by the Right Hon.

eign, of Emperor William and of their brother
rnonarchs of the Old World, is that of the con-
duct of international relations, which, by the
terms of the constitution Is vested, not in Par
lament nor yet in the Cabinet, but in the
Crown But while Parliament has no power
legally to delay, resist annul" the action OF
the Crown in such matters. and although neither
its sanction nor its ratification is required TO
render valid treaties negotiated by the Crown
with foreign States. yet the Endorsement OF one
of the Cabinet ministers is needed to give official
and national value to the agreement in question,
and il is doubtful whether agreement con-
cluded say. by King Edward Emperor William
and Francis Joseph Of Austria, would be looked
upon as having any binding force upon their
respective empires unless countersigned by one
of their Cabinet ministers in each case
Should the treaty on becoming known excite

tasteful measure either originated executed
by the Crown. Thus that old Emperor William,
grandfather of the present Kaiser. was so i'm
mensely popular. from three years after his
accession 10 the throne until his death nearly
three decades later. because his Chancellor
Prince Bismarck. was held responsible oy classes
and masses alike for every objectionable act of
the Crown The old Emperor they held. could
not do wrong. Whatever harm ensued was due
to his counsellors and ministers. who were alone

loyalty and affection of the people for their rul

Of the acts OF the Crown. the odium OF which is
sadded upon their responsible ministers. who
act so 10 speak as buffers between the people
and the throne.
The present German Emperor has failed suffi-
ciently to appreciate the value of these buffers
He has made himself the working head of every
branch OF the administration. and by appointing
as ministers whose principal claim to note
is their blind subservience 10 his will has made
himself directly responsible to the people for
everything that takes place. Having reduced
ministerial responsibility in Germany to a mere
figure OF speech, IL is only natural that when
ever anything goes wrong all eyes should

threatened. and who has to bear the blame for
every unpopular measure. There is no ministry
In the real sense of the word to stand between
the Kaiser and his people. He comes in for all
the criticism that would be restricted to his
ministers the latter known to be statesmen
of character and OF independence, such as Bis
marck, or Capriv instead of mere court
ers. II is this more than anything else that
impairs the prestige of the Crown. and dimin-
ishes the reverence for what he himself describes
as the sacred character of royalty
William made the great mistake of imagining
that a strong and powerful minister impaired
the popularity Of the Crown and diminished its
Importance. Not until Emperor William secures
the services of statesmen who possess the inde-
pendence of the Iron Chancellor sufficient to
warrant them in refusing their sanction to
acts OF the Crown which they know to be wrong
Will the people transfer all blame from the EN-
