COMMENTS ON CURRENT THINGS.
Lord Balfour of Burleigh's amendment, adopted
by tie Lords refusing the franchise to any: elector
who haslbeen in receipt of parochial relief since
I.st July, is evoking a good deal of feeling. The
political champions of the poorer agricultural la
b mrers are using this piece of legislation as a stron•g•
Argument in their agitation against the House of
Lords and the landlord interest. We are even told
ti it cases have occured of persons refusing the
necessary medical assistance provided by the p tri4h
I r the needy rather than forfeit their vote by its
a ceptance. Though this we think is going a step
bcyond the present;political stu diness of Hodge,
gal n it to be credited without proper authentication
on,-‘ c ,uld well conceive him being placA on the
horns oi a dilemma by the working of the adopted
amendment. Suppose he or one of his family to
be attacked by a dangerous conta:dous:disease, and
he be unable to pay a doctor's bill. In due coarse
the parochial authorities must force upon him
w.th or without his consent, that medical attention
no.:cessary for the safety of his neighbours, In
that case what would become of his vote? In the
L Tds' Atnendt-nent is involved a great point of de-
parture between Consarvative and Radical, as to
whether or not a man whose poverty as ever, even
tenporarily. exposed him to the taint of pauperism
should be admit.ed to the exercise of franchise ;
the matter is sure to be hotly contested on party
plstforms.

Political wiseacres and wire-pullers are profess-
i,ig to s?e in the visit of Lord Roseberry to Berlin
ttteis of high State import. Some suggest that
he has been entrusted with a delicate diplomatic
mission, the chief end of which is .to secure the co
od,ffation of Germany in England's foreign policy.
Ot,ier especially knowing and prophetical go deep
itco detail. We are tyld that the clever young
S !otelt Cabinet Minister is to endeavour to bring
al,out the appointment of lip,i4ee Wilhelm as at.-
hit-A.:dor between England and Russia. Then we are
io:brined with much circutnstance that it is the
1.4.),-vptian question which is to be settled and that
Germany is to be the "friendly foreign Po see"
which will undertake the care of the country on
the Nile -France, say some who profess to know
ill tbe profoundest of Cabinet secrets, and to have
the ability of communicating the same to the
public press, is to be given the cold shoulder in the
m tter alto ether ; and England and Germany
solve the riddle of Egypt between them. We are
tr ated to much detail in the way of how this is to
be done, a temporary Anglo-Italian occupa.tion, dis-
continuance of Turkisk intervention, and what not.
The reivatltement of Ismail Pasha is also urged
