Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec Seen. 81. q. Sibley, of
st. Paul, who is stopping day or SO
here while en- route to the south, was met
by GLOBE representative to-day and ask
ed his views relative to the selection OF
Carlisle for speaker.
81 do not know Mr.. Carlisle personally"
he said, "but I believe him to be an able
and conservative man, one upon whom his
enemies cannot rely for any
mistake out of which to make
copits. The mere fact of his
living south of Mason & Dixon's line
should have no weight upon the people in
the formation OF opinions as to his ability.
He is man who can safely DO trusted in
the important position he now occupies.

We can't have that at once let US have a
modification of it. I am satisfied that
the people are carrying burdens in the in
terest OF q few men who
are growing richer and richer.
The idea that high tariff benefits
the working classes may be good in theo-
~ but az as matter Of fact it does not
think at all events that greater number
of people would profit by a reduction of
The tariff rates than by q retention of the
present system, which benefits the rich

s1tion is good one."

REPRESENTATION IN ENcLlD.

Inc progress of Britain toward fair
government is, for
such prudent, conservative and
stald country, somewhat rapid.
Within little more than half a centu.
ry great strides have been made in
extending the franchise to various
cases, such as Dissenters, Roman
Catholics and Jews, as we'll as to the
people generally. Great inequalities
still prevail, however. Various class
interests are we'll represented in Par
liment, such as land owners. shin
owners, merchants, lawyers, officers
OF the navy and army, brewers and
distillers, etc.. but there are ONLY two
representatives Of the great bulk of
the people in the House of Commons
and of course none in the House of
Lords. The latter, however, has a
full representation of Anglican Bish.
ops, who are usually found on the
wrong side of questions of reform
)and freedom. The whole power and
patronage of the nation used to be
under the control of the land owners.
who had an overwhelming majority
in both houes but the Duke of Wei
lington and Sir Robert Peel saw that
to prevent a revolution and perhaps
civil war, it was necessary to admit
all the influential classes to a share
in the government. Mr.. Disraeli al
so carried on the good work. Now
between Mr.. Parnell and Mr.. Glad
stone reform Is likely to be carried
as far, perhaps, as sound discretion
and public safety will warrant. The
constituencies are exceedingly unfair
lv arranged at present. Old bor-
oughs which have no more population
now than they had some hundreds
Of jears ago retain their right to elect
as many members as cities with ten
O: twenty times their population
,,3ct. Landlords also, by the one
sided land laws can control the votes
of their tenants, and the tarm labor
ers have no votes at all. It thus
happens that the House of Commons
is elected by perhaps a twentieth
part of the population, and though
that is an improvement on former
times, when it was elected by per-
haps twentieth part of the popula-
ton, and though that is an improve
ment on former times, when it was
elected by fiftieth or a hundredth
part, yet it is not suitable for to-day.
The Chartists demand fifty years ago
for vote by ballot has been conceded.
and universal suffrage, which they
claimed, seems to be coming nearer.
Equal electoral districts, which was
another of their points, has been to
some extent approximated; but it is
likely that Mr.. Gladstone, if spared,
will present much more complete
measure next year for the fair
representation of the people Of the
British Isles. Witness.

the white people, and are demanding
office because they are colored, and
in Virginia the contest is now going
forward in favor of mixed so::,,,s.
the Democrats sternly resistin.. Al
the Republicans or Liberals under
the lead Of Malone, contendins for
them. Mixed schools is but another
name for equality between the races.
The Republicans of.North Cur-,ilna
took ground as one man agains; nix.
ed schools in 1868. Is it Possible
that there are now in the State white
men who are for them?
Another reason for nv course is
that the President refuses to rvt.oln-
mend and Congress fails to pass q
bill to refund to the Southern Mates
the tax Of eighty millions of q liars
imposed on them or their cotton most
unjustly and cruelty at the close of
! the war. The share Of our State in
this sum would be five or six millions.
Another reason and a great one is
that the Southern States are not the
equals of the Northern States in the
Union and never will be while the
old Abolitionists control the govern
ment. The South has no Vice Presi.
dent, no seat in the cabinet AMI no
first-class foreign mission. And
when any little office is obtainel by
Southern gentlemen they for the most
part have to beg and humble them
selves for such recognition.
Another reason is that the Repub.
licans of this State desire to pn. the
counties In the hands Of bare majori
ties in the townships by .electine
magistrates by the people. This
might do we'll enough west of Greens
boro where the whites prevail, but
this change could not fail to be cal
amitous to many of the Eastern coun
ties. 1t would subject much OF the
East to negro rule, and the result
would he neglect or oppression of the
white and serious injury to the finan
cial prosperity of the counties.

always so responsive to appeals OF
poverty that he never stopped to con

aims which his charity prompted him
to give. Sometimes in Winter, while
making pastoral calls, he would come
across a poor family without suffi.
cient bedclothes to keep them warm.
Out of the cottage the benevolent
