Sir Chas. DIX Proposes a Radical
Reform In tho Distribution of Rep.

!
Reform In tho Distribution of Rep.
TesenIatiOn.
LONDON, May O. LIN the House OF Com
mons, tonight, Sir Charles Dixie moved
resolution that In the opinion Of the
blouse 1t is disagreeable to redress ID
equaliues In the distribution Of polltica,
powers In the united kingdom. He com.
plains that in the legitimate influence the
large and important towns were swamp
ed by the small and decaying boroughs
in which tho powers Of single individ'
ual was paramount over the constituency.
Sir Charles continued at great length,
pointing out the existing anNmoltes IN
representation, and concluded by declar:
ing that time tinkering had gonU by, and
complete and thorough revision was the
only remedy.
George Anderson, member from Glass.
gov, seconded tho motion. He showed
that England was entitled 10 400 instead
of 493 members OF Parliament; Ireland to
SO instead OF 10J, and Scotland to 20 In
stead of go. There were eight consut-
uencies, with an aggregate Of $40 voters,
which had the same representation as the
eight others, with 239, 900 voters. Itwas
impossible to delay the redistribution
much longer.
Thomas Collins opposed tho motion
because no method Of redistribution was
set, for he argued that the counties had
already the advantage Of the boroughs
He opposed representation based on pOpu.
latlon, because ii would result In giving
further power to class already in an un.
lair majority. The true representation
was not one Of numbers, but Of the vari-
Gus elements, interests and classes oil the
community.
Gladstone acknowledged the force oI
the reasons on which the motion had
been based, but said he was unable
TO support it. He admitted that he was
10 favor Of the redistribution Of seats In
Ireland, but even that was not urgent.
The subject was full OF difflculhes and 1t
was Idle TO approach It, unless the mem.
bers were prepared to deal with the de.
tails OF the last year Of the present Par.
Lament, and there was no time 10 con.
slider o question Of such importance
moreover he belived the public did not
demand such measure at present.
George Dixon spoke in favor ol the
motion. He contrasted the cases ol Biz.
mingham, Liverpool and Manchester
with those Of several Of the nelghboring
villages, showing the glaring inequality
which existed in their respective repre-.
seDtations.
Sir Rowland Blennerhassett also sup.
ported the motion, and others spoke
against 1t. AdlviSlon Of the House was
finally reached, and the motion was re-
jected by the following vote: For the
motion, n, against 1t, 1885, majority
sgainst 1911. Ten minutes after the re.
suit was announced, tho House was
counted out.
The Earl Of zetland died to-day, aged
78 years.

THE INDIAN POLICY.
RcpOr, Of the Indian cOmmLs.lOney

Report orthe Indian Commissioners.
New YORK, May 6.-The Board of In.
dian Commissioners unanimously adopted
a report yesterday on the Presidents In
dian policy, alter speaking Of the causes
which led TO the revolt Of the MOdocs,
previously published. The Commission.
ers, alludlng TO the assassination Of Gen.
Candy and DR.. Thomas, say the treachery
Is 80 base that 1t admits OF no pallistiou,
nor can any punishment meted out to the
perpetrators OF the crime be to severe.
The Modoc war, 1t Is held, however, can
not be. charged against the Presidents
peace policy, and It Is also affirmed that
The misdeeds OF Individual Indians or
bands should not be charged against the
innocent or upon the race. The red man
has no friends to take his side Of the story
and no degree Of exAggeration Or false
hood is too gross TO be unhesitatingly nc
cepted by the public mind against the
truth.
The report says it has never been the
expectation Of tho friends Of the Indian
policy that it would, in short period Of
few years, Civiliz9 the savage tribes, nor
could it be expected to bring the red man
in two years to become IS Tree from crime
as the white man. 1t Is the opponents Of
the policy who expect the Indian 10 be
more free from crlminality than the peO-
pic OF our most civilized communities
Four years Of trial has proved the peace
plicy 10 be a success, and with the eXcep
lion OF the contest with few bands Oi
Apaches and the present unhappy strug-
gle with the handful of MOdOc braves, the
country has been saved from Indian wars
Christian denominations are invited tC
cooperate, and these most inveteratG In
dian haters will then hardly venture to
complain OF the policy or result.
