Ait l ccentric Lord.
Matthew lloblnson ( Lord Kokeby ) , n
prominent but eccentric Kus'.lshman
of the eighteenth century , became fa
mous for his long board and his pro
nounced hatred of medical practition
ers. In regard to the former It Is said
that upon one occasion when going to
nn election be stopped at an Inn wliero
the country people , who had assembled
from miles around , took him for a
Turk and through this mistaken Idea
almost worried "me lord" to death.
Ills dislike for physicians was carried
to such an extreme that he left u cod
icil to his will which was to the effect
that a favorite nephew was to be dis
inherited should he ( the nephew ) In the
last Illness of the lord let his sympa
thies cause him to send for a doctor.
This having boon made known to the
nephew when his uncle , the lord , was
lu good health , it Is needless to add ho
allowed that person's spirit to take Its
flight without calling In any of the "In
fernal surgleal fraternity. "

CONSTITUTION IS FRAMED ON
THE LINES OF GERMANY'S ,
CABINET DEPENDS ON LORDS
Without Support of the House of
Peers , It Cannot Pass Bills Count
Yamagata the One Man Able to
Control the Peers.
The history of the slow formation of
parties In Japanese politics , coupled IIH
It In with the oiitbrealc of the present
war and the fall of Marquis Ito from
political power , forum ono of the must
Interesting stories of modern Japan ,
iiyn John F. Huns , the Tokyo corre
spondent of tile Chicago News.
Japan's constitution IH framed after
tlio German constitution because the
German constitution preserves to a
great degree the Inlluence of the sov
ereign In political life. The cabinet
under the Japanese constitution looks
to tile mikado and not to the house of
representatives for its support. It
does not seek tlio favor of the people ,
but the good will of the sovereign.
The Inlluonco Indeed , the very exist-
oneo-of party , therefore. In the Japa
nese parliament Is duo to the tendency
of the Individual to develop along mod
em linen of government rather than
nny place occupied by party by virtue
either of the institutions of tlio country
or tlio new form of govornemnt
adopted.
Take the present Japanese govern
ment. It represents not tlio electoral
vote of the people , but the victory of
the two great dans of Japan , the Sal-
Biima and Choslu , those elans which
were prominent In the restoration of
the power of the emperor. They rule
by virtue of tbdr aristocracy.
The Satminm and Choslu dans origi
nated In the south of Japan at the
atrnlt of Sinionosckl. The Sat.smna
clan was south of the strait , the Clio-
bin north. The Satsmmi clan produced
thl > great soldiers of Japan , and tlio
head of the dan Is now Admiral Yam-
iimoto , minister of tlio navy. The
Clioslu dan produced such statesmen
as Ho and liodama.
The house of representatives cannot
force a minister to resign that Is
to say , theoretically it cannot because
the ministry can theoretically dissolve
the house of representatives as many
times as the house falls to support It.
The cabinet seeks the favor of the sov
ereign. As long as it bus bis support ,
It can according to the constitution con
tinue to rule. Curiously enough , the
discretion of the sovereign prevents a
serious or permanent breach between
the representatives of the people and
the government.
However Independent of the house
of representatives the cabinet may
seem In theory , In practice the house
Is gaining moro power. The cabinet
may dissolve the house a number of
times , but If on re-election the people
support the action of the house the
emperor Is sure to dismiss bis cabinet ,
saying that a cabinet that does not re
tain the support of the people cannot
have his confidence.
With the house of peers It Is differ
ent. Without the support of the upper
house the cabinet can pass no bills.
Moreovir , the cabinet cannot dissolve
the house of peers. It Is of the high
est Importance that Home one lu the
government should bo able to carry
the bouse of peers , and , In the present
government. Count Yamagata Is the
ono man In Japan who is able to con
trol-tin1 bouse of peers. Therefore the
government has need of him.
In the bouse of peers there are no
parties , only spheres of Influence or
cliques depending entirely on the per
sonality of leaders , but In no way on
political principles. The theoretic baa
BO little hold on the Japanese people
that parties founded on political doc
trines are exotic plants.
Marquis Ito some years ngo conceiv
ed the idea that n strong party or
ganization In the bouse of representa
tives was the one thing that would
benefit Japan and put the government
on n more democratic basis. He or
ganized , therefore , that great hetero
geneous party , the Senkal. Hut after
having organized It he found It very
difficult to manage. Still , with his
great acumen ns a politician he might
In time have been able to control this
big party If unforeseen opposition had
not arisen.
Marquis Ito la called In Japan "tho
eight faced. " Ilia friends put It that
ho was trained In the old days of extra
territoriality and Is very timid In In-
| tcrnatlomil affairs. Ills enemies say
that he combines with his great ability
a mind that changes with each political
wind.
The fact Is that Marquis Ito , seeing
the growth of power on the people's
side , determined to control not only
the Imperial will , but also the house of
representatives. Vaulting ambition
proved his fall. He lost both. He had
the ear of the emperor and also was
at the head of this great party of the
people. His plan was to play off one
against the other , control the cabinet
and be the real ruler of Japan. But
revolt came from both sides.
i The Senknl party showed hostility to
the imperial plan and would not re- '
, spoilt ! to the tight rein of Marquis Ito. ,
] At the same time the emperor , Intluenc- j !
1 cd by the nobility , sent for Ito and Informed -
formed him that he must confine him-
I Self to playing one part. Either he'
I must resign his position as leader of
the Senkal party or he must lose the
royal ear , Mnrquls Ito resigned the
leadership of the Senkal and naturally
at the same time lost much of bin In
fluence over the emperor.

SlrrllnK Coin ,
The origin of "sterling" as applied
to coined money IH thus given In "A
Short Treatise Touching Sheriffs' Ac
counts , " by Sir MnUhow Halo. 1083 :
"Current coin of the realm Is of gold
or silver , with an alloy of copper , at
least from the time of Henry I. , and
this alloy gave the denomination of
Sterling to those coins.
"Spelman suppot-'oth It to take that
name from the Estorllngs , who came
over and reformed our coin , to that
alloy-of this opinion was Ciiniden.
Possibly In those times a Pony was
called a Sterling , without any other
reason than the use of the times , ns
other names grow , for the old Act of
Henry III. tells us that Denarius An-
gllco Stcrlinnus.dldtur ( a donarhm , or
penny , Is called In English a Sterling ) ,
and because this was the root of the
measure of sliver coin ; therefore all
our coin of the same alloy was also
called Sterling. "

I. C. PERK KEEPS COURT BUSY
Fred Klentz Secured Liquor and Went
Home to Abuse His Family Broth-

Arrested and Another for Treating.
Henry C. Perk has been busy at
ho police court today swearing out
varrants against Norfolk citizens , and
ic > has kept the court busy getting the
mpors ready. The reason for the
vholo trouble Is that his brother-Ill-
aw Fred W. Klentz secured enough
Iquor yesterday to become thorough-
y organized before going home and
abusing his family.
In the first place Perk had a wan-
rant sworn out against C. F. A. Mar-
quardt. who keeps one of the quietest
ilaces In the city. This was for "soli
ng" liquor to Klentz. Then , In the
second place , a warrant was sworn
ait against Dr. J. II. Mackay for the
illegod "treating" of Klentz. To a
nan up a tree It seems that Klentz
Might to have been satisfied with
either buying or being treated , with-
nit going through both formalities.
Klont/ has boon posted In the sa-
oons. It Is said , and it Is this fact
that makes the soiling of liquor to
ilm a violation. Mr. Marqiiardt ad-
nittcd that ho was tricked by the fel-
ow , who Is described in the warrant
as an "habitual drunkard , " and paid
the assessment.
Dr. Mackay denies the charge of
treating , lie says that ho didn't buy
a penny's worth of beer or anything
else for Fred Klentz and can prove It.
The case wns carried over until 9
o'clock tomorrow morning.
