a. A Family Of statesmen.

III When Lord Salisbury met parlia
ment in special session after the re-
organization of his cabinet following
the general election, it will be remem-
bered that Rosebery congratulated him
on having SO many statesmen in mis-
family The sarcasm of the remarks
was not lost Upon the British public,
and there has been ever since run
hing fire of criticism and condemna-
ton upon the prime minister for put
ting SO many members Of his family
into his ministry.
In one of these criticisms member
Of parliament, stated that the Cecil
family is now drawing upward OF G17,-
| 600 a year from "a generous but un-
consenting country" The accuracy of
the statement was challenged. and TO
Justify it the London Chronicle pub
lshed the following list Of offices held
| and salaries drawn by the premier and
his kihsmen:
| Lord Salisbury, lord privy seal, 92,-
| 900; A. j. Balfour nephew, first lord
VI the treasury, $4,000; Lord Sell
bourne (son-n-law), first lord of the
admiralty, e4,55O; Gerald Balfour
(nephew), president of the board :
.racte, $4,000; Lord Cronborn (son)
under secretary for foreign affairs,
| { 800
The Chronicle adds: "These figures,
it will be seen, total E15,050, the
amount we gave roughly in our lead
ing article of yesterday. In order there
lore, toDarriye at the $4,000 of Mr.
| BARLEY, it would be necessary to in
clude the sum received by Lord Will
