The cable reports that in q speech of
Leeds on Saturday Sir Stafford Northcote,
Earl Beaconsield's Chancellor of the Tx
chequer, took Mr. John Bright severely to
task Tor complimenting o republican form
of government in an address Of welcome to
Mr.. Thomas Bayley Potter upon his recent
return from visit to the United States
The details of Sir Stafford's censure are not
given, but it is easy to infer them.
He has played very influential
part in the modern reforms of the
British civil service. Jointly with Sir
Charles Trevelyan, in 1853, he made the
celebrated report to Earl Aberdeen's Min
istry which is the corner stone Of the pres
ent civil service system of the British
Empire. President Hayes transmitted
document to Congress at the beginning OF
the current session which contains a his
torical summary of the abuses and reforms
of this branch Of British administration
and discussion of their bearing upon Amer
loan politics. We review this interesting
and important document elsewhere in our
columns to-day. Perhaps the most re-
markable feature of it is its exposition how
the contrast in responsibility between the
civil services OF Great Britain and the
United States.is used in foreign countries
TO disparage republcanism. Probably we
do not err in supposing that this contrast
furnished Sir Stafford Northcote with the
material for his attack upon Mr.. Bright.
What successful reply to such an attack
can be made until the subject Of civil SER
vice reform in America is revived from
atrophy and appreciated at its true value2
