The two questions of most interest,
politically, at present in England, are
the new method of voting by ballot and
the licensing bill. The first appears to
an American to be enculnbered with a
number of useless precautions Here
we take printed square of paper go
up to the poll and vote Our danger is
the stufIing of the ballot-boxes, and, as
late events has proven, it is a very seri-
Gus one. In England the peril most
urgent is the old custom of bribing
voters. Each election in many of what
are know as the rotten boroughs' has
hitherto been but a question of the
depth of the pockets of the different
candidates and the skill of their agents.
To guard against this, the machinery OF
the English ballot bill is such that no
person knows how tho voter casts his
ballot, and therefore it is rendered use
less to bribe a man when he may on may
not vote for the briber as he pleases,
and nobody is the wiser. The licensing
bill puts under control of commission
in the various towns and counties the
opening and closing of all public
bouses. The commission can license
these to open early and close late, or
they can abridge their freedom even to
shutting them up entirely. THIS far
the scheme appears to have worked ex-
ceedingly well. G0nsts
