Mr. AcNEN's chances for being expelled
from Congress are at present remarkably
bright The Subj Committee Of the House
Committee. on Foreign Affairs was in secret
session yesterday on the matter, and as far as
can be learned the charges made against the
member from Louisiana we're fully sus-
talned- and, unless something extraordinary
occurs to prevent, the Committee will doubt
less recommend the enforced retirement OF
M1. Acslen from sphere for which be seems

THE Fortnightly Repteto, edited By hr.
John Morley, an advanced Radical Member
Of Parliament, who has the confidence OF
such men as Bright and Gladstone, fore
shadows the issues on which the Liberal
party will contest the coming elections. The
program embraces ''Land-reform Especially
in 1reland), reform in Local Government
in Great Britain and Ireland, and the restora-
ton of sober, sensible policy abroad, the
close of annexation, and the suppression OF
the spirit OF mtltdrtsi,nus." This is GER
tain1y an extensive program, and when is
added to it Mr.. TTeyelyan's County-Fran-
chise bill, the redistribution Of seats in ac-
cordance with the population, the modi6ca-
ton Of AIr. Forster's Education act, and the
extension Of the principle Of minority repre-
sentation to the municipal bodies through
out Great Britain and Ireland, it will be seen
that Mr.. Gladstone's hoped-for Ministry will,
to use homely phrase, have their hands full.
It must be pleasant to Americans to note
that many Of the proposed measures are
formulated in accordance with American
precedents. The minority representation plan
has been applied to the election OF School
Boards in England, and has worked admira-
bly,. The Catholics and non-Episco-
palians, or "Dissenters," as they are
called, have representation in those
bodies proportionate to their numbers, and
as a consequence the system has worked
without any needless irritation between the
different religious denominations 1t is GER
tain that, were the plan applied in this coun-
try to the election Of School Boards, there
would be less cause of complaint than there
is now. The extension Of the nlinority-rep-
resentation plan to the Municipal Boards
will doubtless have very saiutary effect.
The County Boards bill, proposed at the last
session, and which would supersede the
Grand Juries in their anomalous fiscal func-
tions, might be materially improved by the
adoption OF the cumulative-voting plan also.

Prince Bismack has carried his
Railway projects through the Prus-
sian House of Deputies, with the aid
Of unexpected allies. 1t was believed
that he would be supported by the
Conservatives and the UItramontanes,
but at the last moment he refused
the principal demand OF the Vatican,
the restoration of the Bishops, and
the Centre fell back upon it's old
position. Thereupon the Minister
OF Commerce announced that the
Government would concede certain
guarantees" demanded by the Ma
tional Liberals and hitherto refused
the guarantees constitute a rather
intricate arrangement for avoiding
loss to the State, some Railway bond
holders being amerced if the profits do
not yield their guaranteedfour pr. cent.
and with their aid the Chancellor
obtained a vote of 226 votes to 115.
Only four lines have been absorbed
by the present Bills, but the vote will
enable the Government to propose
the absorption of the remainder, and
ultimately of all lines within the En-
pire, the Prussian vote usually indi-
eating the vote Of the Reichstag. It
would seem to come to this,-that the
Chancellor must always win. If he
throws over the Liberals, the Ultra
montanes are at his service; and if he
breaks with the Ultramontanes, the
Liberals are only too eager to take him
up once more upon their shoulders.
We are not sure we do not prefer
Cavours plan of asking, that in view
of great political dangers, the Kings
order, countersigned by the Cabinet,
shall, for a specified and limited time,
have the force Of an Act of Parlia-
ment. That does not destroy the
prestige of the Representative system.
