raj election three months ago {:

The difference in the results is not
great. The lawyers in the house of
commons in 1874 are 139 as against l29
In 1873, constituting nearly One-fourth
of the whole number of members. But
what is this in comparison to the aggre-
cation of lawyers in the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States? have not Mr.. POore's congress
siOnal catalogue to refer to, but am
pretty sure that, if consulted, it would
show that nine-tenths of the national
legislature of the United States are gen
tlemen more or less learned IN the
law"
1t appears that there were 100 sons of
peers in the British house of commons
In 1873 against 90 in the year 1874
The enumerator stopped short too sOoD.
He should have counted up piers heirs
presumptive, younger sons. grandsOns,
sons-in-law, brothers, nephews, broth
ers-in-law, fathers-in-law and cousins.
As far as I can estimate, the sum total
of this aristocratic crowd, naturally
disposed to set the interests of their
class and their own particular families
far above the interests of the unrepre-
sented multitude, the working bees of
the hive, can not be less than $50. This
is strong power in body of 652 mem
beTs.
Two members are set down In the
new house of commons as miners.
This might convey the idea that they
are workingmen. On the contrary,
though they have risen from the ranks,
they now are men of vast wealth. Mr..
George Anderson, M. P. for the city of
Glasgow, is believed to have a revenue
from mining of e3O, 900 year, and he is
owner. also, of at least two very consid-
cradle landed estates. In point of fact,
as no pecuniary payment of any sort
not even an allowance for a penknife as
" stationery''-is paid out of the public
purse to members of either house, no
workingman can sit in the commons.
In time, perhaps, when the working
classes can unite upon eligible candi-
dates out of their own ranks, they will
subscribe a sufficient sum to maintain
him respectfully so long as he is in their
service-voting and speaking honestly,
and exercising his own judgment in
either or both. There Is scarcely a sin
gle NJ. P, fancy, who considers him
self bound to vote precisely as his con-
stituents may desire on the contrary,
each man claims TO exercise his own dis
