The bill extending the franchise and re-
distributing the representation in the Brit
ish House of Commons was a bloodless
revolution. and it was no less important
that it was not accompanied by any Reign
of Terror, any beating of drums brayng
of trumpets, or clash OF arms. The do
ings aud the personnel of the House indi-
clte the magnitude of the change, Punch,
in a late number. had caricature of the
new House filed with clodhoppers and
longshoremen but the different element
which has been introduced shows that the
rule of England has passed into different
hands, and the nearness of the vote on
the resolution declaring that her editary
chamber was inconsistent with representa-
tive government, and the vote to reduce
the grant for the maintenance of royal
parks, and the feeling in and out of Parlia-
ment that the time for the separation of
Church and State has nearly come indi-
cate the magnitude of the change. This
is all the more significant from the fact
that the people who have been enfranchsed
are new to these privileges and duties
which have been laid upon them, and have
not vet felt or put forth their whole
strength. The tide has only started, but
it will become a strong current and sweep
away many hoary abuse, and with them
institutions which have been considered
essential to the English constitution. The
House of Lords cannot survive as con-
stituent part of the legislature for many
years. and it is not improbable that the
monarchy will follow not very long there
after.
