THE STRUGGLE IN ENGLAND.

We have at last definite particulars o.
the so-called Reform Bill which Lore
Derby and his tory cabinet are endeavor-
ing to force upon the British parliament
By its provisions, all househoiders who
have paid the poor rates, farmers who
pay rental of fifteen pounds, graduates,
professional men, and all other men who
have fifty pounds in bank, or invested in
government stocks, are qualified voters
Moreover, house owner who pays the
poor rates casts a vote for each of those
qualifications. It will be seen that money
Is the basis Of this law. The poor man
cannot vote; the person in better circum-
stances casts one vote, and the rich man
two!
We are glad to learn that this bill is
almost certain to be defeated, and the re-
acIionists who framed it TO be driven from
power. It's defeat will not, however,
settle the question. 1t will remain for
the friends of progress to provide a sub
stllute, and here will be the difficulty.
The Liberals. or moderate party. will de-
mand bill which shall still retain the
property qualification in some less objec-
tionable form; the Radicals, headed by
Stuart Mill, John Bright and Thomas
Hughes, will be satisfied with nothing
less1hsn the universal suffrage which
Kansas will inaugurate next November
extending the right TO rich and poor,
male and female, alike. Probably some
sort of compromise will be agreed on,
which will enfrsnchise some 100000
English citizens now excluded from The
polls, who will, in their turn, demand tn,
same right for their DISTINGUISHED breth.
rem. No compromise can be permanent
the war will be Perpetually breaking out
afrssh. Universal Suffrage is the social
order of the good time coming! I

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

The Independent of last week has the
following in relation to the morey mar
ket in New York:
Money has been more plenty the past
week. The banks are now lending quite
freely to merchants and brol ers. The
rates are 6 to per cent, the former on
the Government securities. Business
paper is In better demand, without much
change in rates. Bsst names pass at. Z to
8 per cent; second-class at from to 10;
third, II to l2 per cent. Money is not
plenty in the country in any direction.
Trade is sIagnant 10 consequence, and
collections poor. Some failures or sus-
pensions have occurred owing to this
cause, together with the restricted facili-
ties offered by the banks and the scarcity
of currency among farmers and others.
Manufacturers are paying out less money
than usual, as their business at present is
not profitable. The condition of things
abroad disturbs some of our timid capital
lists little. but as general thing there i,
an improvement in. public feeling. We
are strong financially, and mean to keep
so. We are also becoming more and more
independent of Europe. 1t now looks as
though we should have an easy money
market the remainder of the season.
The recent upward movement in gold,
on unexpected war news. was not on the
Wall street financial programme. Capt.
talists were little disturbed for day or
two, but the excitement is now over.
Those who expect to make fortune in
buying gold at present rates, will, in our
judgment, be disappointed. The LeaYy
Government disbursements next month
will perhaps slightly interfere with such
an air-castle movement. Those who
have gold, had, in our opinion, bette: sell
1t TO the spectators, aud let them have
the pleasure of furnishing the old stock.

Lyon county, containing about 1 200
square miles. By the Treaty of 1914, it
became part Of the kingdom Of Holland,
to which il has belonged ever since.
Very recently the French Emperor,
filed with tie old traditional desire to
make the Rhine the north eastern boun-
Diary of France, negotiated with the Dutch
government for the purchase Of the terri
tory in question, but finally Holland, prob.
ably instigated by Prussia. refused to de-
liver it up. Thereupon Napoleon began
to concentrate troops upon bis northern
frontier, as if to enforce the fulfllment oil
the bargain. The latest dispatches from
Europe announce that Bismarck has sent
special message to the Emperor, de-
handing an explanation of this action ca
his part, and that be is likely to meekly
waive his claim. Rather humiliating
position for the would bsdictator of Eu-
rope to occupy.
Napoleon has lost his prestige. IL
1860 he was going 10 ''interpose Latin
barrier against the southwark progress oil
the Anglo Saxon race" and according.
ly built up the Mexican empire-a card
house which has already tumbled down
aboat his ears. Only few months since
he somewhat imperiously demanded oil
Bismarck the cession of those Prussiau
provinces lying on tue left bank of the
Rhine demand Which met with a re.
fusal more curt than courteous. If he re-
ceives this latest affrOnt as meekly, we
may safely suppose that he intends to re-
tire from active business and devote him
self to Great Exhibitions and the like. Il
be maintains his ground, Europe will
soon be convulsed with war more ter
rible than she has suffered since the days
of the first Napoleon, and Sadowa and
SolferinO will be ecliPaed By bloodier
battles. =
