LORD HALDANE GETS
DESERVED PROMOTION
Becomes Lord High Chancellor
in the British
Cabinet
BY 1..V MAnQiriSE DK niMK.VOV.
EVERYBODY Interested in th-wcl-|
fare of the British army, or;
rather what remains of it. will
breathe a s gh of relief to le.iru ;
that Lord Haldane, who as Secretary!
of W.ir picked it to pieces, but fall- !
fd to put It together again, has been |
promoted to the lord high chancellor?
ship.
'ihls is an Office in the Cabinet fill
which, as one of the cleverest meat-1
hers of the English bar. he I? nd- j
mlra ly titled, while he waa totally
i out oi pluee ;it the War Department,I
I where his ignorance of military niiit
t rs made him more or less the tool'
ui a gang long established there, and.
i Whose principal distinction was an
! Inveterate enmity against Lord Kltch
! nur
indeed. Kitchener on returning to
I England from India was given so
thoroughly to understand that he I
' > ouid expect no military employment
worthy of h ? rank 8s long as IJ.il-l
| dam. lemalned ;?< the ncud of the w.irl
i Olllce ibat he accepted the post ufi
British resident in Egypt, mi ifl a j
Upen Which recent political de.Velop-1
I went* In the south of Europe have
? onteired uti Importance not only |
diplomatic, but military and l.aval, !
thai his enemies never anticipated.
I crimps the recent sensut onal m : tt
? Ifig of l'lemler Asqtlllh. First l.otd
! 0{ the Admiralty Chtirchlll and of
'Kitchener at Malta may have had
something to do with llnldnne's tr.iu:<
t r from Whitehall to Westminster?&
change that Involves the doubling Li
h'S salary.
The lord high chancellorship Is the
highest administrative and judii ii
jdlfctiity of the empire, for although
ti.- lord high steward ranks as the
Urs! great oflicer of the crown, yet
hi? appointment is only made by the
eovcielgn for some specific function
Of state, such as. for instance, a cor
'( nation, or the trial of a peer by the
: 11 on* ^ of Lords, and lapses w'th the
I termination of thr. particular ceremony
I In cuestton. Hence the lord high chan?
cellorship of England, although only
I the second of the great offices of state,
: Is at nil other times the principal
temporal dignity of the empire, and
i or. the otlleial table Of precedence it*
1 holder figures immediately after the
Archbishop of Canterbury, the primate
j of the kingdom, and before the Axch
i bishop of York. In one word, he 'a the
first lay personage of the realm ifler
i the princes and princesses of the blood
! royal.
! The lord high chancellorship is not
! < uly the most Illustrious, but like
I wise one of the most ancient offices
1 of the British Empire, the unhrok in
line of holders of the dignity dating
uck to 10S8, that Is to say, two
>?:-.rs after the Norman Conquest.
It carries with It a seat In the
Cabinet, a salar y of $50,000 n year, t ie
presidency of the House of Lords, a
hereditary peerage, and a retiring pen
, slon of j:i".omi a year?even 'f the
, woolsack hns only been occupied for
In few weeks?and sn immense amount
I or patronage. Besides th:s. the Lord
! nigh chancellor is ex-officio a member
I of the Privy Council and president of
i all the courts of Justice of the em
I plre, which, of course, renders It In?
dispensable that he should be a mem
l bcr of the legal profession.
I True. In olden times the woolsack
was frequently occupied by cccleg'as
tlcs, and at one time the chancellor
snip and the primacy or the church
?'inj held by one and nie same pur
Ron, among the mom notable Instance*
of this kind being Sir Tnomii." a' Bei k
??t. CarolniiI WoiSey, and ArchbiBh ip
Unrnam. Uut since the days of John
Williams, bishop of Lincoln, who suc?
ceeded Kir Francis Uncon as Lord H gn
I hancellor, the otllce has invariably
been Idled by a more or less d'ailh
gulshed lawyer, the wovliacK being
indeed regarded us the highest prise
of the legal piofession.
The Lord High Chancellor has the
appointment of nil lustices ot the
[>?ace. as well as of all Ilia rectors of
lh< crown or government livings." lie
Is the supreme guardian, ex-oftic'o, of
all infants, lutuls and lunatics, and as
such has the legal right to d'vest
or the guardianship any persons who
have been appointed as such t>> will,
but who have shown themselves, in
his opinion, to be unworthy of Hielt"
trust.
The Court of Chancery, over wh'ch
he presides, has two u stlnct trlbu- ,
t'tils. us a court ot law and a court
Of equity. As president or the lat- I
tec it is by ancient statute his 'high '
prerogative tu Judve according n>
ei|uit\, conscience and reason, when
he finds ttie law of the ? land so de?
tective as tiut the subject would be
Injured thereby."
The official title of 'keeper of the
King's conscience." which ho sit III
bears, of course dates buck to the days
prior io the Information, when tno
otticu oi chancelloi was mostly held
by an ecclesiastic dignitary, who was
usually the sovereign's spiritual ad?
viser, and so far ns I am aware, the
OCi upittlt Of the woolsack In the only
dignitary of the realm whose kili'og
ie not punished m ordinary murder,
out as treason.
There seems to be a general Im?
pression, even in 10 n gla nil, that t tie
lord chii.Ilorshlp must necessarily
be held by a Protestant. But the late
Mr. Gladstone, who at one moment
thought of appointing the late Lor,1
Chief Justice Kussel!, who was a de?
vout Roman Catholic, to the post,
made a careful Investigation "f tne j
matter, and ascertained that there was
no law or clause of the Constitution
ii existence to prevent the woolsack
being occupied by a member of the
Church of Koine.
Curiously enough, the lord chancel
lorshlp of Ireland, which is. of course,
interior In rank 10 the lord hlgli
chancellorship of England, is required
by statute to be tilled by a Protestant.
Koman Catholics being explicitly bar?
red. The law bearing on the sub?
let (. however, dates back to the days
when religious fanaticism and bigotry I
were the principal sources of d'aeord
and strife in the Emerald Isle, and
It Is IlKcly to be repealed at an early
date.
The Lord High Chancellor Is the
keeper Of the great seal of the Brit
ism Empire, which. Indeed. Is the prin?
cipal token of h's ofllce. The great
sen] is the emblem of British sov?
ereignty, and is used on nil solemn
in ensions when the will of the mon?
arch la to be expressed.
Its impress In wax Is attached to
every royal charter, warrant, or bf
