ENGLISH Primo Ministers have rarely been
rich men aud some have been quito the rc.
verse. Pitt never married, and declared
that he couldn't afford it, and Canning and
Disraeli were bolstered up by wealthy wives
The late Lord Derby aud Sir Robert Peel are
about the only instances Of very wealthy
Prime Ministers, though Lord Melbourn wa,
very well OF. Lord palmerston only became
so late in life, through rise in mineral prop
erty. His wife, too, succeeded TO her brother
Lord MelEourn's estate.
IT Is conceded-save by those who rejoict
over 1t as u elbow" at Senator Conkling-that
the President has blundered abominably il
reference to tho New York custom house ap
pointments. The extracts In our Political
column give q fair idea of the DRIFT of opinion
upon this point. 1t Is patent that the interest
OF the public service have not been improved
no impetus has been given TO tho cause of civil
service reform, and there Is painful suspicion
that the President has given willing ear /,
q small faction, whose thirst for retaliation |
Unsuitable, and who make their private grudge
paramount TO evory party consideration
