The British Franchise Ri1l.

London Correspondence New York Nation:
The bill goes further than anybody expected
six months ago, or than could have been
OWNED from Mr.. Glandstone's earlier state
ments It is not a reform, but a revolution.
1t takes away 100 seats from the smaller
boroughs, dep1lvlng some of separate repre-
sentatlon, Il. e., merging their voters in the
general mass OF county voters,) and taking
away one member from others which till now
have returned two members. The lower
limit for separate borough representation is
fixed at a population OF 15, 600, and of Dor
oughs with two members at about 30, 600
Of these 16O seats few are given to new
bOroughs. a much larger number are added
to the great cities with population exceed
ing 165 900, and still larger number to the
counties, becase these last are having their
voters far more than doubled in number by
the extension to them of the household
suffrage which has hitherto been con-
fined to the boroughs. The magnitude
OF the change, may be measured by
the fact that the great reform bill of
1882 reallotted only 143 seats, IL less than
this bill. However, this change is not that
which has excited the most interest. Some
thing of the sort was foreseen, was indeed
inevitable, though few people expected the
to be so bold point on
which far greater uncertainty existed wa
big cities and the counties. Hitherto no
city Except the ancient city OF London, with
it's four members) has had more than three
members, and those with three liverpool,
Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow
have returned their members en- bloc, not
by districts, although each voter has been
allowed to vote for two only, so AS to give the
inferior party, where it is considerable, one
and the dominant party two. Now
these large cities receive several additional
members Liverpool is to have nine in ali,
Manchester six, Glasgow and Birmingham
seven each, Leeds and Sheffield five each, and
So forth, while the ten parliamentary Dor
oughs which now make up London,
and which, taken together, return % men,
bers, are in the future to be represented by
As. The bill propos TO cut up these cities
is to return one member only; and the same
ties and county divisions, which, from hav-
ing had usually two-in some cases three
each, are now to be arranged into
divisions with one member each. These are
sweeping changes, which disturb all our old
IDEAS and habits, and affect the large maj or-
ty of members of the house of commons,
1isplacing some. altering the constituencies
IF others. The third notable feature of the
scheme is the proposal to add eighteen men,
oers to the house of commons, bringing It's
number up to go Six of these are allotted
20 England and twelve to Scotland, which
has been much under-represented The
motive is the wish to avoid the resistance of

the Third district Of Iowa, compiled in Deem
Der for submission to the chief of the depart

the figures to be 5000, SOl.25. A year ago the
figures were about $500, 900. Collector Simpson
has received letter from Hon. Mr. Rogers
deputy commissioner of internal revenue, in
which he says: 1T is represented to this
office that parties in your district advertise to
ship packages of distilled spirits incased IN out
side coverings. and bill the same as merchan-
disc, ETC., in order to conceal the nature OF the
goods with view Of avoiding seizure by the

prevail. In view of this you will
strictly enforce the instructions this
subject and also call the attention
of parties interested to the fact that penalty
is provided for the shipment Of any spirituous
or fermented liquors wines, under any other

to be shipped mainly in Iowa, but considerable
quantities 20 to other states and towns where
their sale is prohibited. The business Is grow

Reports from Washington say the supreme
e6tift has handed down decision In the case
Of the St Paul & SIOUX City va; The ,Winona
& St Peter. This suit was first brought in the
Minnesota courts in 1872, and involved the title
to q, GOO acres of land in Cottonwood and Muir
ray counties. The two grants - overlap each
other, and the suit was brotgbt to establish
title to the lands lying within tic con-
Hicting limits. The St Paul d Sioux
City, the first company to receive its grant
maintained it was entitled to the full 1900
acres. The decision of the supreme court is
in favor of the Winona ST. Peter. The present
land in controversy is only portion of that
coming within the conflicting limits Of the two
grants. The remainder was divided some
years ago, each company agreeing to take an
undivided one-haf. These ~, coo acres have
never been included IN the accounts of the St
Paul d Sioux City company.
