the n1ainstays of liberalism the Cabinet the fact
'hat they should have been thus singled out by the

10 people In America the notion that Prime
minister can gain anything IN rank by being ad-
Vanced from the office of chamberlain to that OF
a marshal of the court seems preposterous. Yet
on the Continent of Europe mere membership IN
the Cabinet does necessarily carry with 1t
admission to the encourage of the sovereign. At
Vienna, at Berlin, at Madrid at st. PETERSBURG
there are ministers of the Crown who rarely see
the sovereign, except on the most formal occasions
or when called upon TO make special report. They
cannot be said to enjoy either his friendship
his confidence, barely indeed. his acquaintance
Count Witte Is in point BY appointing
1srolsk and Stolypin TO be "Marechaux de la

people and the world at large that he looks upon
these two stat tasmen something more than mere
