The Redistribution Bill. 1t Is generally conceded
by the English press will be passed as it now
stands and without delay. There Is % strong sonti
ment against increasing the number OF members OF
Parliament, but tho expedent will probably be
adopted, owing to tho difficulty of providing the
additional seats required for the counties and the
large constituencies in any other way The plan
of disfranchising bOroughs with a population be-
tween 10 900 aud 20, 900 has been advocated, but
It is not popular. One strong reason for passing
the measure without serious modification is the inn
praoticability of converting the Gladstone Sails
bury Cabinet into permanent working Council
of state. IL prepared and introduced this radical
measure as political compromise, but it cannot be
depended upon TO hold frequent sessions for the
revision of the scheme. The settlement Of all
questions relating to the franchise and the eect0
rate which have been pending since the last general
election ls O gain in way and loss in another

been worked out but leisure Is now afforded the
English people for the consideration of questions of
foreign policy, and for moroiless criticism of the
Liberal Cabinet.
Enthusiastic Democrats insist that the West has
three representatives in tho Cabinet. They assume
that the characteristic feature of the incoming
Administration will be the disappearance of North
and South lines, and consequently that Mr. Garland
and Mr. Lamar are to be considered Western repre-
sentatives along with Mr.. Villas. The Cabinet,
according TO this view. has been made up on
standard meridian lines without reference to
latitude That it is without parallel will readily
be admitted.
The controversy concerning the date of the adOp-

astating the State, between the partisans of the
date May Goth, 1878, and those Of May 31st 1875.
