SOUTHERN BANNER. MARCH 5, 1878 7 “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. D r Tutt’s > XPECTORANT. la the moat genial balaam ever uaed toy sufferers from pulmonary diseases.
