jealous as it is of its prescrptive privileges, to
surrender quietly the greatest monopoly OF
political power the world has ever seen-these are
features of the case, which will make the pas
sage of this second Reform bill one of the most
interesting chapters in English history.
But if Lord Palmerston's Parliament has in
one direction accomplished a work of reform
which is certain to be followed by radical
changes in the distribution of political power
and the control of the Government, it has in
another initiated reform movement looking
to ultimate results of the highest possible i'm
portance to the nation and to the cause OF
religious liberty throughout the world. Under
Disraeli's leadership it has struck down political
serfdom. Under the inspiration OF GladstOnes
spirit and example it has pronounced the doom
of ecclesiastical tyranny. The disendOwment
and disestablishment Of the Irish Church is
only question of time. The Lords spiritual
and temporal may cause some delay OF the
work but that is about all they can do, ana
such delay will not be long, for the new Par
lament is likely to move quickly, and with de-
termined energy in the settlement OF this Dusl-
ness. After great deal of bowling ana
ravng on the part of the Tories, Catholc
Emancipation was carried. In spite OF the
frantic opposition of the fossils of the upper
House. the Reformers of 1892 triumphed glorl-
ously And the tide this time will prove as re-
sstess as it did nearly forty years ago. 1t VIII
sweep away the Irish Establishment, and that
accomplished it will then sap the foundations
of the English State Church and Scotch
Kirk. In view of what it has effected for
6 NI,o1 Of 1tItV
has bequeathed to its successor as regards re-
ligious liberty, it will hardly be denied then
that the expiring Parliament has fairly earned
the title of the second Reform Parliament.
And what of the next Parliament AS to Its
personnel it is not probable that it will be ma
terially different from its predecessor. Work
ingmen's candidates, TO be selected from the
operative class, are already SPOKEN of; but 1t
can hardly be expected that many of these
would at present succeed in obtaining seats IN
the House of Commons. But it is certain that
in the new Parliament the people will be more
largely and more truly represented than they
have been in any British Parliament for hund-
reds of years past and that the popular VIII,
in the broadest sense of the term, will be more
powerful in shaping legislation than 1T has
ever been since the Oligarchy usurped power
in England If the people are not seen in the
new Parliament in the persons Of the hardy
sons of toll, they will nevertheless make them
selves felt there, and under the moral pressure
which their newborn power will exert on the
councils of the nation, what has hitherto been
little more than an empty boast Will become
blessed reality, legislation seeking to promote
" the greatest possible good of the greatest
possible number" The results cannot fail to
be splendid Endorsement of republican prin-
ciples as illustrated in our own national history.

We have incontrovertible authority for the
statement that the Emperor of Russia has not
written a letter to President johnson con-
graduating him on the failure of lmpeach-
ment. The Russian Government never inter-
feres in the domestic politics of other coun-
tries. The story probably grew out OF let
ter recently received from the Emperor an

The difference between Objectionable pic
lures and Objectionable prose is that the
former can be cOmprehended at a glance by
those who would not take the trouble to read,
and by children who, if they read, might not
understand; while in the shop windows illus
trated publications are always gratuItously eX-
hibited to all passers. The art of cheap wood
engraving might be turned to such excellent
uses that it is painful in double sense to find
it so continually employed in the delineation
of the horrible, the indecent, aud the disgust
ing. In the current number of weekly jour
nal now before u.s. we find prints of the fol-
lowing description:
1. A negro who has been assassnated lies
dead upon a heap of rocks, the fracture OF his
skull being very accurately represented.
2. This is a portrait of the keeper of a low
dance-house, who has, to his great profit, been
suddenly hoisted into temporary notorety.
3. Exterior view of the brOthel kept by this
person.
4. Interior view of the same.
g. Interior view, with prostitutes dancing.
In another weekly journal, published expressly
for the benefit of boys and girls" we find
l. A would-be murderer approaching the bed
side of his intended victim. He has a dark
lantern in one hand, 3and an enormous bowie
knife in the other. ..
2. An old man is stretched upon the ground,
apparently dead. An "outcast" woman is
waving her arms in wild despair over him,
while in the hands of another person the newt
able lantern is held aloft. |.
These are nice works Of art for the study of
boys as yet interrupted, and of innocent little
girls. No respectable man in his senses would
think of taking his daughter to see prostitutes
dance i'll Water-st crib. How much better
is it to carry home to her picture of those
frightful scenes Why should these proofs Of
our civic degradation be multiplied and scat
tered all over the country to debauch the i'm
aginations of the rural populations
1t may be asked if we ourselves do not pub
lsh descriptions of scenes like these, nara
tives of murders, accounts of crime in general
We certainly do publish the general news of
the day, as we are obliged to do, but we do
not make the recitals of iniquity the staple Of
our paper, and we do not intensity effects by
startling wood engyayipgs. in equal defiance Of

Advices from Russia indicate that the har-
vests of the year will be below the average,
while labor will be scarce and the cost of living
high. 1t is probable, however, that with the
present year Russia energies entirely from the
considerable temporary arrangement OF her
industry Occasioned by the abolition OF serf-
dom, and that henceforth the material pros
perity Of the Empire will keep pace with the
advancement in the political condition Of its
lnbOring classes.

Mr.. Hepworth Dixon accepts an invitation TO
stand as the Liberal candidate for Parliament
for MarylebOne, on condition that his con-
stituency shall return him at their own ex-
pense, and make the election a model of cleo
toral purity. He estimates the average cost OF
a seat in Parliament at two thousand pounds,
and the total cost of electing House of Com
mons at two million pounds. There can be no
doubt that the degree of corruption practiced
in Parliamentary elections in Great Britain
far exceeds that prevalent in any Of our cleo
tons. While there are occasionally in and
near the larger cities, districts where from $4,000
to $4,000 are occasionally expended to carry
an election, or more frequently to buy the
nomination in the Convention of the party,
whose nomination is equivalent to an election,
yet these cases are exceptional. Nine out OF
ten of our Congressional elections are con-
Quoted at an average expense to the candidate
not more than One-ffth of that estimated
by Mr.. Dixon for seat in the House Of Com
mons, and in very many districts corruption is
almost unknown and unnecessary. The greater
the number of voters, the more difficult it
must be to buy an election.
The corruption manifest at the hastings in
England is, however, only the Outcrop of the
underlying corruption which characterizes En-
lish legislation. All offices and appointments,
and necessarily great many voters, are for
sale under certain polite and aristOcratjc forms.
commission in the Horse Guards, or a Bshoprc
in Ireland OF India, has its current price. The
money corruptly paid to obtain these offices
must be corruptly won from the mal-adminis-
tration of their duties. Thus the corruption
which comes to the surface at the Parlia-
mentary elections, like a scab, reveals a
deeper corruption in the blood, pervading the
whole body polite.

The London Times in an article on the Anglo
Mexican difficulty at Mazatlan, very sensibly
remarks that commanders of English vessels
should in similar cases seek redress through
their Government, and not begin war against
some weak Government on their own account.
1t might have added that the naval officers of
no other country are so prone to act in this
manner as those of England.

the fact that James Harlan Of Iowa,
the identical Harlan who, in the u.
8. Senate voted to impeacb the

cabinet Office under Mr.. Johnson.
While occupying that position Har-
Ian asserted and exercised the
power Of removing any clerk in his
