which would add greatly to the voting
strength OF the working classes. Fol-
lowing this, he will attempt to further
reform the franchise by the abolition OF
plural voting. In an appeal to the
country there could be no more popular
crv than zone man, one vote" An
other important measures to be intro
duce by Mr. Gladstone, will transfer the
MANAGEMENT of local affairs from the
land owners to the %tenantrv by bestow-
ing enlarged powers on the parish
councils. This would have a most bene-
fetal influence on the Liberal prospects
In the country districts where even at
the last election large Liberal gains
were reported. Then will come pro-
posals TO better the relations OF land
lords and tenants In London, calculated
to have 8 like influence on the city cleo
tors, an eight-hour bill for tie miners,
the enforcement OF the law in Durham
and Northumberland to be left optional
with the miners OF those districts.
Finally will come bills for the disestab-
IishmeEt OF the church in Wales and
Scotland, measures %splendidly calculat-
ed 10 prevent detection and swell the
voting strength OF the Liberals in those
countries.
All of the measures mentioned above
will be pushed forward with all possible
dispatch in the House Of Commons, and
sent to the Lords, who II Is believed
will reject every one OF them as they
have already rejected the home rule bill
and the bill enlarglng the powers OF the
London county council. This would
place tho peers In the awkward and
dangerous position Of multiplying the en-
| tire legislative work OF the chosen re-
ple~sentatives OF the English people
the T into the which Mr.. Gladstone
most desires TO lead them and would
show them to be unworthy guardians OF
English interests as well as in!mical TO
England's wishes as expressed In TIE
bills for improved registration, eight
hours for miners and enlargement
! OF the powers OF the London and parish
councils. At this juncture In the spien-
did game Mr.. Gladstone has set ont 10
pla7 will come the dissolution OF parlia-
ment and al appeal TO the country. AT
present no one doubts that 10 the cleo
ton following such al appeal the Lioer-
ais will be returned TO power By an In
creased majority. 1.-THE Liberals are sue
cessful Mr.. Gladstone, when the new
House opens, will at once Introduce the
home rule bill anew, preserving It's pres
| ent form in order TO saw time. Should
the Lords persist in It's rejection when
sent up 10 them a second time, there Is
no doubt that Mr.. Gladstone would then
| introduce q drastic measure abolishing
the House OF Lords and replacing them
with an elective body somewhat SINH
lar to our OWN state senates. For the act
Of abolition he would have . precedent
in the history OF the famous Long Par
lament, and more important still, In
resorting 10 such q remedy be would
have the sanction and the powerful sup
port OF the English people. for TO the
basic question whether the Lords or the
Commons were the real masters OF the
United Kingdom, but one answer could
and would &c given.
Such, briefly outlined IS the plan OF
campaign upon which Mr.. Gladstone
and his advisers seem TO have decided.
In boldness, daring and astuteness II
would DO credit TO q 81 Of bali the
