THE PREPS IN PARLIAMENT

Mr Hutcbinson (says Mayfair) adds another to the list of gentleman of tbe Press in tbe House of Commons. In addition to the editor and chief proprietor of the Halifax Courier, there arp now Dr. Cameron, proprietor and editor of the TSTorth. British Daily MailV Mr Joseph Cowan, proprietor of that ".influential paper in the North of England "to which \Vfr Gladstone alluded the other night; ! Professor Smyth, proprietor of the Derry Sentinel ; Mr P, A. Taylor, proprietor of ' the Examiner; Mr Beresford Hope, i ■founder and propritor of the Saturday i Review Mr Jobn Morley, of the Con- i temporary Eeyiew ; Mr Walter, of the < Times; and Mr Ingram, of the Illustra- ' tod London News. Mr A. M. Sullivan i might last isession have been included ia i the list as proprietor and editor' of the ' Nation ; but the hon. membei*, disposing i ofhis nevrspaper property, has absolutely s severed himself from journalism, aad J

does not even write an occassional paragraph for the Nation. There is an hon. member who once occupied another position in the House, a more elevated one I may say, inasmuch as it was an appointment in the Press gallery, he being on the reporting staff of one of the London daily' papers, Mr Lowe is, or was, a famous journalist, and so is Mr Leonard Courtney, the new member for Liskeard. We nped not mention Mr Gladstone, or include other names of hon. and right hon. members accustomed to write for the journals, to indicate the increasing measure of direct representation of the Press which is one of the features of the Parliament that throned in power that well-known "gentleman, of the Press," Mr Disraeli.
