“My Lords and Gentlemen.”
Till: SAMKIKS PAII> TO ENGLISH PARMA*
HKXTAKY OFFICIALS.
[Philadelphia Press.]
All, or nearly all ot the two Houses
of Parliament, live in the Parlia
mentary palace, and live in style. The
Speaker of the House of Peers, the
Lord Chancellor, Lord Cairns, who is
also a judge in the higher courts,
receives 850,000 annually ; the Clerk
of the House of Peers, Sir William
Rose, K. C. B, 812,500 annually; his
deputy, Ralph Disraeli, 89,000; the
reading clerk, $6,000; the counsels to
the chairs, $7,500; there are six
clerks at 85,000 each; eighteen on
smaller pay; a librarian at $4,000; a
deputy librarian at $3,500; two
“examiners of standing orders” at
$4,000; the gentleman usher of the
black wand, General Right Hon. Sir
Walter Knollys, 810,000; the yeo
man usher at $5,(L0; the sergeant-at-
arms, Lieutenant Colonel Hon. W.
P. Talbot, $7,500; aud his deputy
$3,000. There is a well-salaried short
hand writer and a host of uniformed
door keepers and servants comfortably
compensated.
The Speaker ot the House ot Com
mons, the Rt. Hon. II. B. W. Brand,
M. P., receives 825,000 a year; the
deputy speaker aud permanent chair
man of the committee of the whole,
Henry Cecil Baker, M. P., $12,500;
the cle*-k, Sir T. Erskine May, K. C.
B., $10,000; his clerk assistant, 87,-
500 ; the second assistant, $5,000 ;
the principal clerk of the public-bill
office, 85,000 ; the principal clerk ot
the committees, $5,000 ; the journal
clerk, $6,600; clerk of private bills,
$5,000; seven senior clerks, from
$3,500 to $3,000 each; thirteen assist
ant clerks, from $3,000 to 81,500
each; the sergeant-at-arms, $6,000,
and two deputies, one at 84,000, and
the other $2,500; counsel to the
speaker, $9,000; librarian, $5,000,
and his assistant, $2,800; the referees
of private bills, each $5,000. There
are also many others, including a
chaplain of $2,000, secretary to the
speaker, a short hand writer, door
keepers ad libitum, and servants on
excellent salaries.
As I have said, the most of these
•fficials live in the parliament palace.
The Speaker of the House, Mr. Brand,
has an immense establishment, his
dining-room alone seating a hundred
persons. He is a liberal in politics,
but so fair and just that the conserva
tives do not distrust him. He is
about sixty-four and has filled many
high positions, among them lord of
the treasury and keeper of the seal for
the Prince of Wales. He was the
liberal “ whip” for nine years, and 1*9
always elected to the House as an
avowed liberal. He is so impartial in
his rulings that, a few years ago, when
one of the Irish members taunted him
with being otherwise, both Disncli
and Gladstone came to his rescue.
The clerk of the Ilouse'of Commons,
Sir Erskine May, whom I have met,
and to whom lam indebted for a seat
in the speaker’s gallery, is as distin
guished as the speaker, though he has
never been in Parliament. His lit
erary works have taken the highest
rank, and that on “The Constitu
tional History of England since the
Ascension of George III,” has at
tained large circulation in America.
His last book, “ Democracy in Eu
rope,” much commended by the press,
will be 89 warmly welcomed there as
it is here. His other publications
have been generally devoted to par
liamentary law. Mr. May is about
63, and began his career as an assist
ant librarian in the House of Com
mons, in 1831. Like the speaker, he
belongs to the liberal party. His
writings are generous and elevated,
and his work on the constitutional
history of England, clothed in a style
almost as lascinating as that of Macau-
ley, is a splendid record of the growth
of the republican sqgtiment in this
great empire. I have read and re read
it with profit and pleasure, and espe •
cially because it has given me a high
estimate of the perseverance of the
statesmen who have removed so many
of the abuses in the English govern
ment within the last generation, and
have restricted the privileges of the
aristocracy and recognized the rights
of the people. It stands to the credit
of the conservatives of the House that
they retain this accomplished and fear
less scholar as their first officer. But
this is the true British system. Civil
service is not a picture, but a reality.
Both parties practice it.
