ENGLAND'S REAL RULER.
Not the Man with the Title OF King,
but the Premier.

From Apfletons Magazine.
The real ruler Of the British empire
is not the titular sovereign, nor the
hereditary nobility; it Is the leader Of
the political majority, who derives his
power solely from the direct vote Of the
people The prime minister Of England
is sGsordinate neither TO the King nor
the House Of Peers. Every man who
shares with him in the work Of the
government is his subordinate.
Following a general election the SOW
ereign sends for a member Of the ma
jority party and instructs him to form
a government This is one OF those fic-
tions Of the constitutional authority OF
the sovereign TO which the English
people cIing as 10 the heritage Of tradi-
ton. The summons is delivered. but
IL IS merely a form. The party leader
is such not by the grace Of the soyer-
eign. but by the choice of the majority;
not by election. but because he has the
qualities of leadership.
The leader. having received the SOW
ereign's instructions TO form a govern
ment becomes by that mandate the
autocrat Of the empire His power is
absolute Lint hilE tSlt4t4lt4 f4E mas
appoint whomsOever he pleases a men,
Der of his Cabinet, but unlike the Pres
ident. he is not Influenced by geOgraph-
/ zeal considerations, nor does he have
10 submit his nominations 70 the SEN
ate. In both countries the members OF
the cabinet hold office at the viii Of the
appointing power. but the tenure OF
Office is even more precarious in Eng
/ land than IT Is in the United states.
Here a minister may differ from the
/ President on d matter of policy and not
/ feel il incumbent upon him 70 resign;
| in England there can be no differences.
/ Either "a minister agrees with his chief
/ or he resigns.
/ In England the cabinet is an extra
I legal creation. NominaIly II is one Of

replied the other.
The women were both wondering how
TO get the half-d0llar when man came
along with the contribution box As he
offered her the box a woman across the
aisle from the other two said 10 him:
II just dropped a half-dollar on the
floor. Would you be so kind as to hand
it TO me?"
The man picked it VI and gave it to
her The other two women, although
they are neighbors, haven't spoken to

Shaved the Statue.

Near the entrance of beautiful Oak
Hill Cemetery, Georgetown, where
reposes the dust Of James G. Blaine,
Edward M. Stanton and other great
Americans, stands fine statue of
John Howard Payne, author of
Home. Sweet Home" The bringing
home OF the remains of this famous
American, who died at his post in
Africa generations ago, when he was
serving there 10 United States Con-
sui, was the occasion of a great ma
tional function more than twenty
years ago.
The late William Corcoran, the
Washington banker and philanthrop-
list, betrayed all Of the expenses and
also paid for the monument and
statue of Payne which mark his rest
ing place in Oak Hill. The sculptor
who executed the life size statue had
palmed off on him as a picture of
John Howard Payne the photograph
Of man whose face was completely
covered with a .uxuriant growth OF
whiskers Accordingly he faithfully
reproduced the whiskers in marble.
Soon after the statue was set up In
Oak Hill it wfs discovered that John
Howard Payne had never worn q
beard.
The sculptor, enraged and un-
daunted, proceeded forthwith to
chisel the whiskcrs or Of the marble
image Of the immortal author OF
Home, Sweet Home" SO that to-day
the visitor to Georgetown's heroic
old cemetery holds the classic face
in marble OF John Howard Payne
sans whiskers except for mustache.
