criticism and vituperatiOn, Mr.. Glad
stone appears to have convinced all
parties, and even the editors, that his
redistribution scheme is "A good one.
There are not enough dissatisfied To-
rles and Radicals together to muster
the fight of cOrpOral's guard against
the measure. Even Mr.. Parnell, the
Dublin FFeemdn's journal and the Irish
Times approve the reform, and, beyond
question, it, together with the franchise
bill, will become the future law of
England touching the great question of
the popular franchise and Parliamen
tary representation. The two uues-
tons are entirely distinct, and the sue
cesslon of events has justified Mr..
GladstOne's determination to consider
them separately. As recently ex-
planned, the franchise bill adds two
million new voters to the franchise of
the United Kingdom, and it is really
this great increase in the suffrage that
furnishes the uncertain element in con-
nection with the redistribution scheme.
