LaFollette III.

Our candidate for Congress, Rob
ert NJ, LaFollette, was compelled by
illness to suspend speaking and go
to his home last Friday. His ply
stefan advises that he must not at
tempt to make another speech dur
ing the campaign. 1t is hoped, how
ever, that he may be able to come to
Mineral Point, which he very much
desires to do. Many will be disap-
pointed not to hear him, but if he
does not come it should be borne IN
mind on election day that illness on
ly prevents, and every true Republi-
can will therefore feel a greater in
terest in seeing that the full vote of
the party is secured for him. Wher.
ever Mr.. LaFolette has spoken, the
people are warm in commentator
of his power as an orator, and his
ability to discuss the questions in
yolved in the canvass. His speeches
are pronounced the best delivered il
this district during this campaign
noted for its numerous and abb,
speeches.

TILE NEW REFORM BILL.

The Reform Bill introduced by Mr.. Gladstone
may be briefly described IA measure foi
equaizing theconditions of suffrageiln town and
country. If it becomes law 1t will increase
the number of electors in the United Kingdom
by about 100000. The total number OF
electors now registered Is about 100000, and
Mr.. Chamberlain has declared that not more
than 2,500,000 are able to vote at general
election. AS the number of grown men is not
less than S,500,000, it follows that 6,OOO,OOO
of the Queens subjects are not allowed any voice
in the government of the Nation. The slgnlil-
canoe of these figures becomes apparent when a
comparison is made with France, where, with
population only 100000 in excess OF that OF
the United Kingdom, there are 1O,OOO,OOo
registered voters under system OF manhood
suffrage In England, Wales and Scotland
three out of every eight grown men have VOTE
and in Ireland only one in six is an elector
The Reform Bill will not introduce manhood
suffrage, but it will enlarge the electorate by
reducing the franchise qualifications in the
counties. 1t will level the barriers now dividing
houscholdcrs ir- the boroughs and in the
counties. 1t will arm agricultural laborers with
the ballot and will add large contingent OF
electors to the wOrkmen in the towns who were
enfranchised in 1867.
The Reform Bill will probably be strenuously
opposed by the Conservatives, but will be sup
ported BY the Irish Nationalist, since the Island
is included in its benefits. The votes ot few
recalctrant Wings will not affect the fate OF the
measure on q final division in the Commons.
If the bill be defeated it will be in the Upper
House, and its rejection there will merely
imply its ultimate triumph upon an appeal to
the constituencies. The Conservatives are
hoping. it is true, TO create dlscOrd Ill the
Liberal ranks by offering amendments Ill
relation to faggot vOting-a fictitious qualiiica-
ton by which both political parties profit.
This will be one of the most difficult details to
settle, although there is only one logical method
of dealing with it-that of excluding from the
county registers the names Of voters living out
side the county. The Conservatives VIII dep
recate an extension of suffrage in the Irish
counties as an incentive to dslOyalty They
will also endeavor to confuse the intelligence OF
the country and to create prejudice against the
Bill among the smaller voting constituencies
bv pcrsisting in their demands for an authorta-
tive forecast Of the principles on which seats III
the Commons shall be redstributed They are,
however, so deficient in debating power IN the
popular house that these diversions do not
promise to be serious. If the Soudan can be
pacifed and no other foreign complications arise
the passage of the Reform Bill by the Commons
will be foregone conclusion.

PISS THE HTGHLICENSE BILL.

The bill to submit to the people constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors has failed. Its
friends made gallant fight for 1t IN the
Assembly, gaining 81 votes for it-53 of which
were cast by Republicans. 1t Is conceded that
no more votes are to be had for the measure at
this session, so it remains for the Temperance
men of the Legislature TO determine what Is
best to be done. They will doubtless decide to
press the high-license bill.
They certainly cannot take wiser step.
Make it the law that license shall cost 5000,
and q vigorous blow Is struck at the liquor
traffic. One of the opponents of the bill and
representative of the saloon interest Is reported
as asse rting that It's passage would destroy
three -fourths of the present business. 1t might
not do so well as that, but 1t certainly would
destroy the worst part Of the traffic. The lower the
saloon the worse its influence Pass this bill
and the rum holes must go. AT the recent
earnest meeting held In this city in behalf OF
the bill one of the speakers asserted that the
@ only fear that this law may not pass in Albany
comes from the probable action OF excellent
amen who say Prohibition or nothing" It's
difficult to believe that there is valid ground
for such fear. We believe that the Rev. Mr.
Olin the member from BroOme who tathered the
prohibition amendment, and every other stanch
friend of prohibition in either house, will agree
that license is better than no license, that high
license is better than low license, and that so
long as prohibition is not at present attainablc
it is the part of common sense to press the next
best reform measure which Is attaioable. That
next best reform measure is the nigh-licensc
bill
That the bill will succeed if its friends are
faithful there is good reason to expect IL
ought to command the support OF all the
Asscmblymcn who voted for the prohibition
amendment and several of those who voted
against it; and having passed the Assembly
the Senate could be counted upon to complete
the good work.
The people have n right to expect that from
this Republican Legislature will issue whole
some reform measure in the interest Of temper
ance and therefore in the interest OF pubic
morality and progress. The high-licensc bill is
Sucl a measure.
New-York tribune., 1884-03-01
WAKING UP ON THE PRESIDENCY.

WAKING UP on TIE PRESIDENCY.
The masses of the Republican party are
beginning TO take an interest in the matter of
the Presidency. The general indifference upon
the subject which lasted so long was not to be
wondered at, perhaps. The earnest contest OF
1880, the controversy in Washington and
ALBANY in 1881, the assassination Uf Garfield,
and the events that followed it, seemed to
exhaust the political activity of the people.
Then, too, the political fashions have changed
for the better. In 1876 and 1850 there were halt
a dozen candidates avOwodly seeking the
nomination. Now there are hardly more than
two. In 1850 the whole party was convulsed
by combination of some OF Its leaders TO
nominate popular hero for third term, and
following this came more caamtlcs to the
Republican party. Nothing like this situation
exists to-day.
One Of the best possible signs for Republican
success in the election this year is the
thoroughly ancable character of the discussion
of Presidential candidates which is spIinglng
up now and which is reflected in our columns
from day to day There is an old theory among
certain class of professional politicians that
quarIels in party keep its blood moving, and
put il in condition for vigorous fight against
the enemy. Tic Republican party is at peace
with itself now, but that does not mean that 1t
is ready TO be at peace with the Democratic
party. There is no sign of indifference to Re
publican principles or to the necessity of keep
ing the Government in good hands to be seen
in the good-natured tolerant, easy -goingTalk
over candidates now fairly beginning. We
hear no bitter denunciations of one candidate
by the friends of another. We hear no angry
declarations that A can't have the support OF
b, or that C's nomination viii cause an I'M
mediate revolt of the friends of d. The right
of every Republican to his own preferences Is
freely recognized and nobody proposes to get
mad about it. There is less slangwhanging
and abuse than We remember to have seen III
any recent Presidential year. The newspapers
and leading men are calmly discussing Arthur
Logan and others, who are understood to be
