LONDON, Oct. 3.-The Tories are not
yet ready to begin the campaigning for SUI
premacy in the next parliament The gov
ernment has, therefore, decided to postpone
dissolution until the 7th of December. The
reason given to the public for this action is
that the difficulties growing out of the enor-
nous registration under the enlargement OF
the franchise require the extended time fol
adjudication and adjustment. The cam
paign, when it does open, will be the fierc-
est and most thoroughly contested evel
fought in Great Britain. The two millions
OF men enfranchiSed by Mr.. Gladstone as q
rule belong to class much inferior in intel
ligence to any that have heretofore had a
vote in British affairs. When the United
States enfranchised the black freedmen
800, 600 voters were added to the list When
they began to vote they were influenced by
a sentiment which was practically unani-
nous among them, and which was, at the
time at least, intelligent vice gratitude
But England has as suddenly added nearly
three times as many voters to her suffrage
list, and the addition certainly contains 6
large mass of ignorance. While gratitude
to the Liberal party for the franchise may
sway many of those new votes, it would be
folly to calculate upon it as feeling which
will prevail with any large portion of them
The result of the coming election will be
stupendous upon the destiny of England.

Even now, two months before dissolu-
ton. there are l. 126 candidates already il
the field contesting for the 500 seats be-
longing to England in the house of com
mons. Nearly every seat is being contested
There are many instances in which several
candidates are contesting the same con-
stituency. In this latter respect, however,
the Liberals are at present worse divided
than the Tories. The Parnellites remain
united and independent Of alliance. 1t is
admitted, however, even by Liberal news
papers, that if Mr.. Parnell succeeds in
making bargain with the Tories to stand
with them upon a common platform, the
Liberal majority will stand in danger OF
disappearing altogether.

The social purity movement, founded Oh
the revelations made by the Pail Mall
Gazette. is steadily gaining strength in
England. The prosecution of Mr.. Stead
has greatly strengthened the movement,
and it is now headed by the Methodist
church as an organization. Letters have
been received accusing London journalists
of general immortality. The Methodist
Times even goes SO far as to explain the
conspiracy of silence maintained by ma
jority of the London newspapers against
the Pail Mall Gazette. and their attack upon
Mr.. Stead for making his revelations, by
alleging that an ample statement of the
vice exposed by Mr.. Stead exists in the
press circles of London. This paper prays
that God may raise up some mighty jour
nalistic Hercules ''to clean the Augean
stables of journalism" The Berlin scandal
