BR|TA|N'S CABINET
1t Really Has No Legal Warrant
For Its Existence.
YET 1T RULES THE NATION.

This Most Powerful and Important
Committee In the World Is Without
Staff, Secretary, a Seal or Min
ute Book and Has No Fixed Home.
Sidney Low, the English writer, calls
attention to the fact that the British
cabinet has really no standing In law,
though it is actually the body which
rules England. He makes several in
terestlng statements In describing the
situation.
The British cabinet has long been
one of the mysteries Of that greater
mystery, the British constitution. To
be quite exact, indeed, it is not correct
to call 1t a part OF the British consti-
tuition, for strictly speaking it is un-
known to the constitution. The cabinet
today rules the country, but 1t has
no legal status. 1t was not until about
1901 that the word cabinet appeared
on the notice paper or other official
document.
A cabinet minister takes the same
oath that every privy councillor takes,
ito be a true and faithful servant
unto the kings majesty as one of his
maIestys privy council" and Ito keep
secret all matters committed and re-
vealed unto you or that shall be treated
secretly In council" The entire body
Of the privy council is supposed to ad-
wise the sovereign on affairs of state,
but to be made a privy councillor to-
day is practically an empty honor. 1t
is regarded as a high compliment, but
II a privy councillor is not a member
Of the cabinet he hears no secrets and
performs no official functions.
All the executive and political func-
tions Of privy councillors have passed
into the hands OF those Of them who
form the cabinet. which is really a
secret committee OF the kings servants
who in practice collectively rule the
country so long as they remain in Of
fice.
But" as Sidney Low writes IN an
article I'm the London Daily Mail, mo
act Of parliament ever gave them these
powers, which could not be asserted or
defended I'm any court Of law. They
are due to prescription. accident and
custom.
Technically the cabinet as a cabi-
net can do nothing. II cannot even
write a letter or issue a signed order
II has not indeed the means OF doing
so. for It does not keep a clerk or a
typewriter; Il has no Office. nor has
Il any money wherewith 10 buy a sheet
Of note paper. The most powerful and
important committee IN the world is
without a stan. a secretary. a seal.
minute book or a fixed location.
when a cabinet council sits IL has
no agenda before Il. nor has q any
record Of what was done at its last
meeting. No one keeps the minutes.
and Il Is stlll deemed a little contrary
10 etiquette for any minister 70 take q
note Of the proceedings or indeed 70
write anything az the meetings at all
In fact. the cabinet council Is stin
treated as II Il were nothing more
than a casual private consultation be
tween a few Of the privy councillors.

On hearing that two men had been
seen running along the railroad
track toward Kelley Hill, Lieutenant
Whyte and Policeman Simms went
in that direction to Kelly Hill
house into which 1t was sad one OF
the men went. Not finding Their
man there the policemen stationed a
man there to guard the house and
came back to North Fifth street.
They learned that Devona had gone
to a boarding house near the Slavish
Catholic church on East Pike street
and squad of officers went there
and searched the house without re-
suit. Returning. the officers began
systematic search of Glen Elk
houses occupied by foreigners.
Between and 8 o'clock in the
morning, Lieutenant Whyte and Po-
licemen Slmms and snope found
Devona lying upon, a bed
with his shoes and coat off
in room underneath Thomas
gotta building, which opens on the
Glen Elk bridge. Policeman simms
first entered a door and threw
uashlight upon Devona, who jumped
to his feet, tire his hands up and
said. "I'm here; I'll 60"
Mob Held at Bay.
The Lieutenant and Policeman
simms placed the italian between
them and started across the bridge,
followed by a crowd of men. by
the time they had reached the Wal
do hotel, the crowd had grown larger
and on reaching Telegram Square
there were between one hundred and
fifty and two hundred persons in the
throng. Angy mutterings were heard
and before long shouts of Get a
rope" and well lynch the Dago,",
broke forth.
The policemen hurried east on
West Main street to the court house
and started along the cement walk
on the west side of the court house
to the Jail entrance in the rear. The
crowd, still growing larger, broke
down Court street and it appeared
an attempt would be made to head
off the policemen before they
reached the Jail entrance. Some
body in the crowd fired several
shots from revolver into the air.
Lieutenant Whyte and the other po-
licemen then pointed their revolvers
at the advancing mob, commanded
them to stand back or get shot. The
mob stopped. Another shot was
fired in the crowd and the officers
opened fire with their revolvers.
shooting into the air in an attempt
to frighten the crowd. Awed by the
revolver shots, the crowd halted
while the policemen rushed to the
Jail entrance with their prisoner and
got him safely inside. The officers
then returned and dispersed the
mob.

did not know it was the chief; and
he, too, looked rather sheeplsh when
