LIBERAL FRANCHISE IN BELGIUM.
Jansen, o Radical member of the
Belgian Legislature, introduced
bill providing for the extension of
the franchise. This action was a
complete surprise. The Radicals
are greatly elated, and the workmen,
who intended to inaugurate gen.
eral strike as part of the universal
suffrage movement, decided to re-
main at work. The streets were
thronged with people and the re-
joicing was general. The measures
discussion is favored by the Govern
meRt.
IRISH LAND BILL.
In the House Of Commons, Nov.
q, Balfeur introduced the Irish
Land bill. He said the Govern
ment's policy was the same as in
1889, but for simplicity the bill had
been cut in half. Both portions,
however, were practically the same
an in the bill of 1889. One varia-
tion of the present bill from that of
last year was that it met in some de-
gree Parnell's views in regard to the
privilege of purchase. 1t excluded
all purely grazing farms and farms
whose tenants did not reside ON
them. The limit of the twenty
years purchase objected to the last
session had been removed.
In regard to increasing the power
of the local authorities, Balfour said
it would he absurd to leave to the
communities under the Indictment of
agitators to determine whether they
should adopt remedy going to the
root of agrarian discomfort. If they
were to give local control in any
form it ought to be by plebiscte of
rate payers, enabling them under
safeguards of the ballot to vote up
on the question of granting a con-
tingent portion of the guaranty fund
for each county.
Labouchere moved an amendment
against the pledging of the imperial
credit for the purchase of land until
the country should give consent
st the general election. The amend
ment was rejected. Gladstone,
Harcourt and Morley walked out
before the vote was taken. Parnell
and all Parnellites voted with the
Government. The bill was then
given the first reading amid cheers
from the Government supporters.
When the Parnellites were flock
ing into the division lobby to vote
on Labouchere's amendment, there
was sudden movement, apparently
instigated by Healey, who, with
Sexton and number of others,
turned back and abstained from
voting, while Parnell. Powers and
thirty others supported the Govern
ment. After the House rose hur-
ried meeting of Nationalist was
called in the conference room. Par
nell was not present and great Sc
crecy was observed as to what was
done.
THE CHAMPION DEBT.
Pelletin presented before the
budget committee of the French As
sembly u report on the financial situ-
alton of France, showing the esti-
mated debt of the country to he 3d.
500, 1889 francs nominal capital
and 22,824, 043,609 francs actual
capital. The nominal rate of inter-
est is 3.4S per cent and the actual
rate 4 81 per cent.
"This," continues the report, sis
the largest public debt in the world,
but the French credit is sufficiently
solid to allow French stock to be
reckoned as per cents.
The weekly statement of the Bank
of France shows an increase in gold
of 275,000 francs and q decrease in
silver of 1850, 900 francs.
