Program of the English Radicals

The action of the recent Liberal confer
ence at Leeds will make the next session of
the British Parliament an exceedingly impor-
tant one. The delegates to the conference
were chiefly from the radical wing of the
Liberal party, and the programme mapped
out involves several radical changes 10 the
British electoral system. 1t was resolved in
the first place that it is the duty of the gov
srnment at the coming session of the Com
mons to introduce bill equalizing the coun-
~ and the borough franchises. But this is
moderate demand in comparison with 9TH
ers that are to follow. When this equality
OF the franchise is established the Radicals
propose to require signal expansion of it
In the direction of manhood suffrage, and
redistribution of the seats in the House of
Commons which shall approach, if it does
not completely accomplish, an apportion-
Aent of Parliamentary representation to
population. In addition to this the confer
ence resolved that any future measure for
the extension OF suffrage should confer the
Parliamentary franchise upon all women fit
to vote.
The first battle over this programme
win doubtless be fought'i in the Liberal ranks
themselves. A large portion of the Liberals
are Wings, who are almost as conservative
as the Tories. Such radical programme
as this, if adopted by Gladstone, can hardly
fail TO drive them into the opposition ranks,
while on the other hand refusal to adopt
1t will ALLEVIATE the Radical wing, which I'M
doubtedly largely constitutes the voting
strength of the party Up to the present
Mr.. Gladstone's incompatible ability as
leader has succeeded in holding the two
wings together, but this conference has VII
tually served notice upon him that at the
next session he must choose between them.

The best way to ascertain where the re-
sponsibility for the failure of the Greeley re-
lief expedition should rest is to hold a court
Of inquiry. The statements of the officers
show clearly enough that there was blunder-
ing, and good deal of it, but fail to show
who the blunderers were. 1t would be in
interesting to know how it happened that
the supplementary orders" which have
been so much talked about came to be
In the form of unsigned memoranda without
anything to show that they were to super
sede the previous orders. 1t would be inter-
esting to know also why Lieut.. Darlington
after the loss of the Proteus, did not wait
for the arrival of the Yantic instead of imme-
diately proceeding south. The sending of
the YaDtic to sea with her boilers in such a
condition that it was impossible to arrive at
Littleton Island at the date fixed in the Or
ders, ought to be explained.

If the story published by the Paris Figaro
be true French troops at the taking of Hue,
the Aunamesc capital, covered themselves
with disgrace. The defenceless Annamites
were shot down and bayonetted without mer-
cy and the French soldiers found 1t rare sport
counting the corpses. We are not told
whether or not the officers made attempts to
check the horrible excuses of their troops,
but the fact that the correspondent of the
Figaro who reports these things, and who is
French officer, describes them in jocose
phrases, is significant.

and excitedly asks the congressman who

ic representatives do obeisance TO the sub

true 10 the principles of their party and la
Dor for reduction of the tax burdens of
the people?" The answer depends on the
opinion of majority of the Democratic rep
resentatives as to which course will make
the most votes, and upon nothing else.

A Boston paper prints a cut of the
new FIVE cent nickel piece. Ladies
who have been ridiculed for wearing
their forelocks in the banged fashion,
will be pleased to learn that the god.
dess of liberty has adopted this style.
In the cut she is seen with a well-de-
veloped bang and a coil at the back OF
the head similar to that worn by Mrs.
LaDgtry. The features of the lady,
indeed, instead Of being identical with
those seen on other government coins,
resemble those Of the English actress,
the designer having probably been nu-
der the influence of the Langtry craze
at the time he executed the work.
On the diverse side are the words
UNITED States of America" and az
Pluribus Unum" encircling a wreath,
in the middle Of which is large V.
The irreverent motto, "In God We
Trust" which appears on the present
nickel, is very properly omitted. Pos.
sibly it occurred to the designer that
zeal for the money is one proof that
in God we don't trust.

THE astronomers are already ma
king preparations for the observation
of the total eclipse Of the sun which
occurs on the 9th of May. The to-
tality will last nearly six minutes, an
unusually long time, aud on that &C.
count the eclipse is regarded as a very
important one. Unfortunately, the
total phase can be observed only from
two little islands in the South Pacific
Ocean. An expedition is to be sent
from this country to one Of these isl.
ands, and French and British astron.
omers will also go there. The princi.
pal objects are to obtain further
knowledge of the strange surround.
ings of the sun, which are ordinarily
hidden in the overpowering blaze of
his central globe, and to search for
the planets which are supposed to
exist between Mercury and the sun.

corona Of the sun may eventually

ence on terrestrial weather.

THE Courier Journal charges that
old fraud, Gen. Nuckols, with gross
Encouragement Of the military de
partment of the State and Of the very
remarkable document issued by that
aspiring young up start, Jim Black
burn, Jr., Asst. A. g., in regard tC
Col. Castleman, says: 1.-THE office Of
Assistant Adjutant General is un
known to the military law Of this
State aud any one would be fully jus
titled in disobeying any order so coun
tersigned. Il is therefore the duty of
the Adjutant General to see that his
official functions are not upsurped by
some clerk whose ambition is only
equalled by his incapacity. Nothing
could be better calculated TO democrat
ize the troops than such an address,
and nothing will serve so to sink the
organization in public esteem. If the
Governor desires to restore to the
Kentucky State Guard the respect
and confidence of the public, this silly
stuff will be repudiated. If it is not
a forgery, if it was issued with the aP-
proval of the Adjutant General, who
lacked the manliness to put his name
to it, then the Adjutant General
should be suspended. 1t is a gross
breach fgood manners, to say moth
ing whatever oft from military
standpoint. 1t is intended to stir up
strife. It is lawless in its purport and
purpose. 1t makes a farce of the
whole military movement, which may
end in a tragedy. To send a lot
of soldiers of to suppress mob with
such an address in billingsgate is all
folly. II this is the spirit which is to
find expression in official orders, the
military organizations had better be
disbanded, and when the Governor
wants assistance let him call out the
mob, for an order such as this degrades
the militia to a position almost on
level with the regulators of Eastern
Kentucky" 1t is so seldom that the
CT sees anything wrong in the off
cials at Frankfort that we publish this
to show that it can sometimes take a
hand.
