Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July 22.-Nothing as rule Is
so uninteresting to the public as details
of the political and party controversies
in other countries. But the present crisis
in England is exceptional, for with
other things 1t illustrates in a clearer and
most simple fashion how the English have
solved the problem of utilizing the mon
archy so as to make the crown the serv-
ant Of the democracy In the modern state.
1t Is as interesting as a game of base
ball to watch the way in which the king
is being used to secure the triumph Of the
people. Without the monarchy the COM
mon people would be powerless to break
the yoke Of the peers. Other nations
have caShiered their kings. The English.
being OF practical turn Of mind, have
not abolished their throne. but have pre-
served 1t. In order to throw it into the
scale In their favor when the balance is
wavering between lords and commons,
Hence, the kings scepter, instead Of being
the symbol of personal power, has become
the sword of the people. without which
they would be powerleSS in their conflict
with the aristOcracy

ANIMOSITIES ARE FOR
GOTTEN.

There was an,exceedingly slim attend
ance of members of the Senate and
House of Representatives. probably due
to the fact that Congress does not re-
convene until Thursday of this week.
and that most of the members of both
branches took advantage of the long
recess to spend their holidays at home
Something OF a smile rippled around
the crowd Just inside the main entrance
of the White House when Senator Bris-
tow of Kansas, rapid insurgent, and
Representative Serene Payne of New
York. author of the tariff bill now on
the statute books, and an old-line stand
patter and regular, came in arm and
arm. They went down stairs together,
hung up their hats and coats on adjoin-
ing racks, and, still arm in arm, took
their places in line. Representative Dali
Zell of Pennsylvania, also a bred-in-the-
bone standpatter. vino thoroughly disap-
proves of everything insurrectionary. ac-
tually turned pale when he saw his old
time crony and consultant, Payne, in the
hands Of the enemy.
Senator Burton Of Ohio the Cleveland
student. Senator Carter of Montana, the
genial .'Tom,'' who knows everybody and
goes everywhere: Representative Weeks
OF Massachusetts,, prominently mentioned
as the next chairman of the republican
national committee; Representative Oh
colt of New York. member Of the Dis
trict committee, and a lame duck; Sena-
tor Nelson of Minnesota, head and front
of the P'nchct-B allinser committee;

of the House; Representative Bennett of

called "the red in reference to his lux
uriant flaming whiskers, were among
those in line.
OF course. Speaker Cannon was OIL
hand. He hasn't missed a New Year re-
ceptiOn at the White House in years. To-
day he made concession to the formality
of the occasion by wearing frock coat.
But his soft black felt hat was very
much in evidence He was greeted so
often and SO warmly that he probably
shook hands with more people than any
one in the White House. with the ex-
ception of the President himself.
Representative Longworth of Ohio was
very much in evidence. He has been a
very frequent visitor at the White House
Of late, comforting with the President
with reference to the bill for the crea-
ton of a permanent tariff commission
which Mr.. Longworth will introduce i'm
mediately after Congress reconvenes. But
he wasn't bothering about the tarin to-
day.
These comprised about all of the con-
gressional delegation in attendance at the
reception today, and as a result the re-
ception schedule had a margin OF time
to spare when the last legislative hand
had been shaken and the next division OF
visitors came in bit ahead of time.
