Tho Oldest Members the British parlla-
mcnt Men OF Few Words.
The last few years have played hav-
oc among very Old members ofParliu-
mcnt, and the death Of Mr.. Henry
Cory, in the April Of 1873, made
room for his successor as Father of
tue house in the person Of General
Cecil Forester, who was himself re-
moved to the Upper House by The
death of his elder brother, Lord For
ester, in October, 1874. The place
vacated by General Forester was
filled by its present occupant Mr..
! christopher Rice Manscl Talbot, who
has held his scat for Inc county Of
! Glamorgan by unbrokcn tenure since
1880, and with whom Sir Phi.ip dc
/ Malpas Grey EGcrton-nGw mcmLcr
/ for West CllrSEirc, but first elected for
Chester in lS3O-s shares thc distinction
of having belonged 10 the House Of
Commons in the days when Birminm-
ham and Leeds, being unrcprcscntcd,
were Of less account in the BODY poll
tic than Cation and Old Sarum.
1T is cmbicmatic of British longcyi-
ty that, as a rule, the Father of the
| House Of Commons, upon retiring
! from that honor, either into the crave
or into the secure and tranquil heaven
OF the House of Lords, has been in
Parliament for mOrr-anl sometimes
, considerably thau halfa ccntu-
I ry. Thus. in addition to Mr.. George
! Hyng, who sat for itty-ci"ht years, the
late Colonel Lowihcr, grandfather to
! the present Earl Of Lonsdalc. was first
elected for the county Of WcSimorc-
land in 1872. and continued to rep
resent ii until his death, in lS67-that
IS to say, for iii unbrokcn tenure Of
! llttyriVe years. lie succeeded TO the
Partnership upon the death Of Lord
l'almcrston, in October, 1868. Sir
Charles Burrell again sat for Shore
ham from 1906 until lie expired i'm
1862. and General Cecil Forester for
| Mucl Wcnlock from 1928 until the
death ofhiS elder brother transferred
him to tho House of Lords in 1871.
Slncc the passage Of tho first reform
Dill i'll 1892 the House has known seven
successive Fathers. 10 rccopi!ulalc
them scriatim, it will be remembered
with Interest that Mr.. George Bvnm,
OF MiddlcScN; Sir Charles Burrcll, OF
Shorcham; Colonel fowihcr, Of Vest
morcland; Lord Pahncrston, ofTivcr-
ton ana ofothcr prior seats; Mr.. Hen
ry Cory, of Tyrone; General Forester,
or Much Wcnlock, and MIR. Talbot, Of
| GlamorgAnshirc, have in turn occu-
Wcd that patriarcllal chair. 1t has
often been remarked, that, rs Il rule,
the Father Of the House is Il silent
member. Thus the collective words
spoken in Parliament by Sir Charles
Burrcll, Colonel LoWthcr and Gcucr-
al Forester and Mr.. Talbot might be
printed within ono Of our columns,
and to this list might be added the
name OF Lord Earnest Bruce, now
Marquis OF Ailcsbury, who although
never Father Of the House, ranked as
a PrOrimc 0cccSsit, seeing that he sat
for Marlborough from 1882 until the
death OF his elder brother in the .Janu-
airy OF last year. Lord Ernest Bruce
! was, 1t is true, an interchangeable asker
OF questions during that "N,uur0is
GM"T d'hcnrc de R0bcluis' to which
Ministers arc subjected at the after
| noon meeting Of the House; but the
! set speeches delivered by the late mem
bcr for Marlborough might all Of thcm
TO borrow Il lavOritc expression of
| William Cobbctt-"bc printed upon
tho two sides Ola half-crown."
STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCA-
TIoN.--Wc have long been impressed
with tho fitness OF Hon. Hugh S.
Thompson, State Superintendent of
Education, for the Office which he so
acccptably fills. Combining admirably
tic two qualitics-tact and talcn;-so
necessary to success in any undertake
ing, he is cmphatically the man for the
place. While others are busvingthcm-
seive proposing this man for the Office
OF President, this man for Governor,
and SO on, looking to the future GOOD
or our old, State, we herewith present
the name OF tho present SupcrintenC.-
ont OF Education to be his own success
sors Tor ten years, and do so the more
readily because we feel we present the
name OF that man who, moro than all
others. has worked in season and out of
season to rcsuscitatc the wreck of our
common school system shattered by
tho dcspoilcrs who preceded him.
mayor thompson is a polished and cul-
turcd scho!ar--a genuine type of the
southern gentleman, who is not afraid
TO work for name, and who kccps il
attcr he has won it.-O,.ungcju).o
