REFORM IN ENGLAND
Grand old Abraham Lli1co1n was wont 10
call your late war s'the big job" The qucs-
tion OF reform In this country, merits, to
an equal extent, similar title !; and II the
time required for the completion Of the Job
In either case affect the size of tho work, then
our Job Is likely to prove the bigger Of the
two. Your Issue was carly narrowed down
to single obvious point !; ours has as many
points in 1t as d brush has briatles md be-
fore we can sweep away the dirt aud refuse
Of centuries. wc have to make our brush trls-
tic by bristlc. Our southeners," 1.-The born
uentlemen Of England, are not quite fools
enough to take up arms, nor ''is there any
pressing necessity for their doing so. Their
little game Is the quiet constitutional
dodge, the unvarying cry Of ari5tocraclcs and
political monopollsts In all countries aud
ages; "gredna1 emancipation has the
same fascinating charm for our Palmerston-
ian democrats, rs for your Johnsonian aristo-
Gratis. aud both alike arc adopting the policy
Of his Imperial Majesty of France-post-
poulng 10 IN Indefinite period 1.-THE crowniug
of the cdiffcc." Opposition to.progrcss and
freedom is cyerywh here sinllar aud alike. It
could not well be otherwise: for the claim to
superiority, the keeping under;' our fellow
creatures, the lust Of ruling, all Start from
that principle Of pride and unchari'ableness
which has set man against hi fellow man
from the earliest ages, and even produced dfs-
cord and secession IN heaven its4lf.

4 LITTLE or WHAT REFORM IN ENGLAND
MEANS.
Reform In England, In the first place, means
and tends to this: The change Or transfer ol
representation from property to men; LII
other words, that the whole people shall
govern, not wealth rule. Could we obtain
this even to the fullest extent, VIC should
merely have opened the door to rcsl
reform for extension Of the sutfrugc,
atter all. IL simply means TO an end
the obtaining OF the power to remedy abuses
not rcmedying or removing the abuses theu'
selves. beh'na me question o1fapfescn1a.lon
