Sir G. Campbell dissented entirely from the views of the
two preceding speakers, not because he disbelieved in the
possibility of England and Russia coming into collision in
the East at some distant period, but because he could see no
policy which would not make matters worse. lithe Rus-
sians chose to establish themselves in Turkestan any re-
monstrances of ours would either be treated with con-
tempt or would be met with promises certain to be
brokEn. If we could not act it was useless to make
a fuss, and he was for a policy of "masterly inactivity,"
leaving the exigency to be dealt with by our sons or grand-
sons when it arose. As to sending a resident to Afghanistan,
Sir George was strongly opposed to it There was nothing
to be got by diplomacy out of the Afghans; all they under-
stood was selling their swords and their position for a good
price.
Mr. Bourke said that the correspondence between Russia
and the present Government was not yet ripe for publication.
Without following Mr Cochrane through his historical re-
view of the advance of Russia, he pointed out to him that it
had not been easy or rapid. "Masterly inactivity" Mr.
Bourke professed not quite to understand—the exact amount
of activity or inactivity to be displayed must depend on the
circumstances. But it had never been the practice of our
Government to declare beforehand what policy we were
about to adopt. The policy of a neutral zone had
been abandoned, and while we desired to see all
our neighbours on our Indian frontier flourishing
and powerful, we did not wish to enter into any
engagements which would fetter our freedom of action.
We were on the most friendly terms with Russia; we had
no wish to advance our frontiers, and there was every reason
to hope that in course of time friendly intercourse would be
re-established with Afghanistan.
Mr. Butler-Johnstone made some remarks, arguing that
the object of Russia is to monopolise the Wade of Asia, and
Mr. Bailie Cochrane withdrew his motion.
Mr. Whalley was moving for a Select Committee to inquire
into the number of Jesuits residing in this country, and into
other matters concerning them when the House was counted
out at twenty-five minutes to one o'clock.

HOUSEHOLD COUNTIES FRANCHISE BILL.
In the HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 7, Mr. Bright presented
a petition from members and friends of the Agricultural
Labourers' Union in England, praying the House to carry
into legislation during the present session a measure for the
assimilation of the borough and county franchise, and for a
thorough redistribution of seats. The petition was signed
by 60,000 persons, and although he had been told that they
were all genuine petitions, he ought to mention that in many
cases the names had been written by persons who could write
for others who could not.
Mr. Trevelyan having formally moved the second reading
of the Household Counties Franchise Bill,
Mr. Salt rose to move its rejection. In the debate of last
year they had, he said, been appealed to to consider the case
of the agricultural labourer as one in whom they should feel
a great deal of interest, and towards whom they should show
a great deal of sympathy and the labourer had been put
forward as one who was to a great extent deprived of his
rights. He acknowledged at once that there was an anomaly
in our present system, and that it might seem strange that
by an accidental line that divided a borough and a county
one man should possess the franchise and another man
equally intelligent and equally interested should not ;
but it must ;be remembered that when they considered
such a question as the franchise they must consider
the citizens not merely as single individuals, but as
members of a great community; not as one man, whose
interests concerned himself alone, but as one whose
welfare and prosperity were bound up in the interests of the
nation at large. He himself had no fear of the labourer, and
if he were represented here he would receive such a result
with satisfaction. But he considered that, looking to the
very recent period that they had had a Reform Bill of great
importance passed, agitating the country and disturbing the
House, the time was very inopportune for fresh legislation.
They had much better leave things alone for a time, and let
the country settle down and consider the character of the
constituencies created by that Reform Bill. Further than
this, the Bill was a step towards further legislation the
character of which it was impossible to ascertain. For this
reason he opposed the second reading of the BilL
Mr. W. H. Forster said the question of the county fran-
chise had for some time been decided on its merits, and its
being carried out was simply a matter of time. If there had
been any doubt about this proposition, it would have been
settled by the debate of last year and by the remarks made
by the Prime Minister in opposing the Bill of Mr. Trevelyan.
The people outside the boroughs had a right to ask this
House why they should not be treated in the same way
as those within the boroughs, and the Prime Minister
in course of his remarks last year had said he had no
doubt that the householders in the counties were just
as well able to exercise the franchise in the same way
as those in the towns. Mr. Disraeli had, indeed, only
confirmed the statements lie had previously made. It
was, however, to be regretted that something more than
the mere acknowledgment of the labourer's rights had not
been conceded, for they were, in fact, the only class un-
represented in the House. What answer, he would ask,
could they give to the labouring classes to the number of one
million—he took the figures of the Prime Minister as given
by him last year—when they asked for the franchise?
They might be answered that they had been too much
occupied this session to deal with such a question, but would
the million of men think so? One of the greatest arguments
in favour of the Bill was that the class most interested were
advocating it with the greatest moderation, and it was time
now to consider how long the House ought to continue its
present policy of taking no action on the question.
Mr Ridley opposed the Bill. He said that the country did
not want a Reform Bill, and, if they did, this was not the
Reform Bill they required.
Mr. Fawcett contended that the Bill would apply to other
classes than labourers, and pointed out that in several
counties, because land was cheaper than in the towns, large
factories were built, the workmen at which were deprived of
a franchise they would possess did they live in small or
large boroughs. This was not the only case of hardship, for
if an artisan living in the metropolis had a delicate wife or
children, and desired to live a little out of town to maintain
or improve their health—if he were to select such places as
Shaftesbury Park, or the model lodging-house at Beckenham
—he would at once be placed on the same footing as a
criminal or a pauper. Withbut taking the view that every per-
son had an abstract right to the franchise, he contended that to
exclude any class of our countrymen from the franchise was
not a good thing, and that those who advocated such exclu-
sion should show good cause for it. Of the million persons
that would be enfranchised by this Bill, at least 600,000 were
persons in every respect the same in character and pursuits
in life as those enfranchised by the great Reform Bill of
1867. If that Reform Bill had been a failure, if it had
produced mischief to the country, whatever might be the
abstract right to the extension of the franchise, he for one
would say that if they could not retrace their steps let
them be warned by the past, and let them not descend to
further disaster; but could any one pretend to say that the
Reform Bill of 1867 had either been a failure or a disaster, and
would not the legislation of the last eight years compare
favourably with the legislation of any previous eight years
in their history? Nothing had happened since the passing
of the great Reform Bill to induce them to continue to ex-
clude those who resided in the counties from the franchise
rights enjoyed by the dwellers in towns. He suggested that
It would be better to deal with the question at once than to
wait until a later period, when there might be an agitation
on the question out of doors.
- - -

After expressions of opinion from Mr. Rodwell, Mr.
Anderson, and Mr. Bentinck,
Mr. Macdonald said that it had been stated that there was
no agitation on this question, but there had been many
meetings in the recess where resolutions were passed in
favour of an extension of the household franchise. The true
course for the House to pursue would be to take the tone of
well-expressed opinion and legislate upon this subject at as
early a period as possible, and while the country was calm.
He regarded the franchise as a right of every person who
paid taxes, and in spite of all the efforts made on the other
side of the House to evade this question, if there were no
legislation with regard to it, he believed the country would
soon take it into its own hands.
After remarks from Mr. R. Plunkett,
Mr Trevelyan said the grievance of non-representation of
the residents in counties existed in no country but this, but
it had not always existed in this country. The most remark-
able feature in this controversy was that no argument
had been adduced against the principle of the Bill. On
the contrary, its opponents admitted that no arguments
against it existed. Every hon. gentleman admitted that
the county householder could be made into an elector,
and having made this admission they came down to the
House with arguments which were ingenious, but which he
was bound to say were irrelevant. By a recent decision of
the Court of Queen's Bench it had been directed that the
miners of South Durham and Northumberland had a
right to vote for local purposes, so that they were
in this anomalous position that they could vote
for the election of guardians for the relief of the poor,
for the care of highways, for educational purposes,
yet they were debarred from taking part in poli-
tical questions in which they undoubtedly took a great
interest. The prosperity that they had had for the
past few years could not continue for ever, and when the
time of trial came, what a desirable thing it would be for
our national strength and security if those people, instead of
having to look for guidance to some self-elected leader who
chose to put himself at their head, put their confidence in
their own representatives sent to Westminster, who he be-
lieved would not be inferior in character and position to the
hon. gentlemen he saw around him.
Mr. Newdegate also made some remarks, after which,
The Marquis of Hartington said he had not given any vote
on the Bill last year, and he intended to take that course
again this year. Ile could not vote against the Bill, because
he was not prepared to meet by a direct negative the prin-
ciple involved in it, which principle lie deemed to be that
the franchise in the counties ought to be equalized
with that existing in the b n'oughs. Re was
unable to see any reason why a hard and fast
line, which had been altogether discarded in the case of the
boroughs, should commend itself to the country in the case
of the counties. lie did not rest his assent to.the principle
of the bill on any doctrine of the rights of man, but solely
upon this, that he could not see any convenience, or wisdom,
or prudence, in excluding permanently from the exercise of
tthe franchise any class, unless it were shown that they were
less fully aualifled to exercise the franchise than the classes
in the boroughs. On the other hand, this measure involved
other considerations: it involved the redistribution of
seats, a question which could only be taken in hand by the
Government of the day. With regard to this redistrikution,
no one had given any opinion as to how it was to be effected.
If the previous question had been moved he would have
supported it, but under the circumstances he would abstain
from voting, a course which he preferred to take rather than
to give one of two votes, neither of which would satisfy him
nor express the views he held on the question.
The discussion was continued by Lord J. Manners, Mr.
Green, and Mr. Storer; amid cries of "Divide" the question
was put, and the Rouse divided, when there appeared—

The Bill was therefore rejected.
The other business was disposed of, and the House
adjourned shortly before six o'clock.
