Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - April 27, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba Sue a in the King Liju a correspondent thus describes a night in Iho English House of commons until about seven there is a tolerable attendance when members begin to drop Oil gradually Ono by one. For dinner Island honorable members Are feeling the sacred rage of if Tho question in debate is not Likely to last through Tho evening there will often to a desperate Effort made to Force on a division at onco. To. This end a crowd will gather below Tho bar that is just inside Tho door and when a new speaker gets up to continue Tho Dis will try to drown his voice by cries of or us Tho word sounds in the rapidity of utterance usual on such occasions first from one and then from another until at last it rises into a Roar. If Tho orator is Pertina Cious and determined to proceed or it a considerable party in the House shows a disposition to uphold him which is done by roaring a counter cry of Tho conflict sometimes grows fast and furious until the interrupters seeing it is of no Avail Are Fain to desist and depart. Then in the lobby outside Thoro is a curious com Nony going on of which outsiders know Little. A desk is placed on Tho right hand of Tho passage in Side Tho outer Entrance into the House on which there Are pens Ink and paper. Around this desk members from both sides of Tho House congregate and the question arises. Who wants to the meaning of which is that two from Tho ministerial and one from the opposition that they will to absent from Tho House for a certain time so that in Case of a division taking place in the interval they neutralize each other. At the top of the sheets of paper lying on the desk Are written the words for and against meaning for and against Tho the two who Are about to play temporary truants write their names one under for and Tho other under against while Down the Centre of Tho Sheet Thoro runs a column for time. Ono asks the other How the answer May to until 10, or 11, i for the night and that is marked accordingly in Tho Centre column. So they Aro paired for Tho period agreed upon and May depart without running the risk of inflicting an injury upon their party should a division arise during their absence. Tims there will to often -10 to 50 pairs in the course of an evening. Those who have in this manner quieted their consciences then Start Oil to Dine at their own houses or at their clubs feeling themselves Safe while the compact lasts. Hut those who from greater soul in the discharge of their duty. Or from special interest in Tho question in debate decline to Avail themselves of Tho pairing Dodge must duo in the House. Sometimes the division Bell sounds just at Tho time when 50 or arc in the act of dining and then there is a Rush and a scram ble some walking off with their Mouths half full Ami others willing their lips after a draught and As a division takes lit min utes or half an hour the incorruption is not a pleasant one to the hungry legislators. Dur ing Tho dinner hour Tho House often pre sents Only a beggarly account of empty benches and on 0110 occasion during the last parliament some members pooping in through tic door saw Tho curious spectacle of an honourable gentleman standing up absolutely alone arid addressing the speaker. They Vulto none but they two in Tho House. About nine Tho be Gan to lounge in one by one and at 10 of the. Scats were again Well occupied for not Only have the cravings of hunger Boon satisfied but it is known that about Elioso hours some of Tho greatest dons of de Bate will be on their legs Connerly. Before habits of Temperance had triumphed Over the old drinking kudu agencies there used to to some Lively scenes after dinner when men came in from their clubs Unsod with insolence and such exhibitions Are now however very rare and exceptional events if there be any signs of prandial excitement they Are confined to louder explosions of cheering and nothing More. And so the night passes on until or i ,or2 in tie morning according to Tho interest of the matter in or. Ontl Lonc on preachers. Or. Gladstone in his speech on preach at Tho City Temple on thursday gave Romaika Blo sketches of three great preach ers or speakers whom to had Nowman or. Chalmers and or. Of whom had great faults of manner considered in the abstract but All of whom had that wonderful Power of so identifying their faulty manner with Tho very essence of Tho person who addressed you that you could not wish oven their faults otherwise lost you should thereby lose some of Tho essence of Tho Man. Of Chalmers to said that though his scotch accent was harsh and Dis tasteful it was Yot so overborne by his Power and melted into Harmony with All the adjuncts of Tho Man that i would not have had it altered in Tho slightest this was his description of Thiol if you will imagine a tin Kettle battered about from place to place and producing a Succes Sion of sounds As it knocked first against one Side and then against the other that is really one of the nearest approximations 1 can make to my remembrance of Tho voice of or. Yot in him j would not have changed it for it was part of a most remarkable whole and nobody Over Felt it painful when to listened to it. Jalc was a Groat orator and an orator of much preparation carried 1 believe oven to words with a very vivid imagination and an enormous Power of Strong feeling. Thoro was a Peculiar character a sort of half wildness in his aspect and delivery and his whole figure and voice Ami manner were in such perfect keeping with one another that they form a Grout parliamentary picture and though it in now Twenty five years since 1 heard or. Shiel my re mlle Elion of him is just As vivid As if i had been listening to him to day.1 or. Newman or. Lads tone describes As Reading monotonously with not very much change in the inflection of his voice faction there was none his sermons were read and his eyes were always on his nevertheless there was a stamp and Koh upon Tho Man there was a solemn music and scotness in Tho tone there was it completeness in Tho figure taken together with Tho tone and with Tho which made oven that delivery an expression of a most unique and powerful personality. That is singularly True of or. Newman. The music of his delivery is Tho pathetic music which a great intellect gives Forth when it is pleading in the minor key under the con straining Power of an imperious and ascetic conscience tempered by most tender and delicate London 9 o o cd 0 01 o o o o n k m o o h o in o to o o a.
