Salaries fer the House of Commons.

SdIdTIeS IGr UHe HOuSt Ol C0WM0USs
 The resolution introduced in the British House of Commons the oth- CT day by Mir. William Allen, a Lib- eral member from Newcastle-under- Lyme, which provides that hereafter members of the House shall be paid for their services, was adopted by a vote of 276 to 229. The majority is not large, bat it is none the less significant as showing the tendency of the Commons in a democratic direction and away from system that has too long obtained to the frequentdisadvantage of legislation. In country where the right of suf- frage is so widely recognized as it is in Great Britain, and where the masses of the people are permitted to take a self-governing interest in public affairs, it is no longer com patible with sound policy to main tain old barriers to popular prefer ment and reserve legislative honors only for those who are able to ac- cept and hold them without pay. A period in English history has been reached when the people, having a direct voice in the selection of their representatives to the House, should also be relieved of all restraints up on their own eligibility to the same responsible distinction.
 It is perhaps commendable sort of patriotism and in some cases it is doubtless a noble spirit of self-sac- rifce that members exhibit in ren- dering gratuitous service to thelr constituents, but honorable as their service may be, it works a certain injustice to others, who, equally pa triotic, equally capable of wise leg islation, equally in sympathy with the best interests of the government and the people, are barred by stress of means from aspiring to seats in Parliament. Whatever effect the allowance of salaries to members of the House may have upon the qual- ity of it's statesmanship, 1t cannot fail to enhance it's self-respecting and personal dignity. Even under the present system many membery are compelled to depend upon outside friends for proper sub- sistence and maintenance. q prac- tice that is not altogether unfraught with danger, and which to men of sensitive temperaments carries with it species of humiliation. The emancipation of members from this drawback will mark new era in the triumphant progress of England toward a braye and self-assertive democracy. It will relieve them from many disagreeable necessities. The champions of Irish liberty will no longer have to depend upon their sympathizing friends in the United States to help them out. The way will be opened to many good citi aens, against whom the doors of the Parliament House are now practi cally closed, to enter in and become men of mark and men of might in the service of the state.-Washing- ton Post.
