the assertion of the Irish secre-
tary that the abolition of plural
voting did not mean one-man-One-VOte.
What else can it mean
PLURAL VOTES.
The number Of plural voters" accord
ing to the estimate of the government is
about 500, coo. According TO the estimate
Of the conservatives, il is nearer ,000,-
600. This class Of voters IS composed of
occupants or owners of property who
have a residence apart from the place of
occupation or ownership. u may be in
another town or county. A law limiting
the qualification of the right 10 vote to
actual residents would have the effect
to virtually disfranchise the best
class OF owners and occupants
and destroy the bulwark of the voting
power Of The conservatives. II is highly
probable that the government does not
seriously intend 10 proceed with the
clause relating to plural voting; indeed,
they can only do so il it is their desire
that the lords shall wreck the whole
measure. The clause was tackled on the
bill at the last moment and was quite OBJ
viously designed TO be thrown overheard
ultimately with view of saving the rest
Of the measure.
THE RADICALS AGAINST THE BILL.
w ullD INC lA4dlOilOy VI Tue llDCTdlo seem
TO cordially approve of the pro visions of
the bill, the radicals plainly do not AL
ready they have shown their hand, and
the disclosure portends annoyance, If
nothing more serious to the govern
ment They make no secret of their
intention to demand amendments to
the bill, which provides for the payment
of the election expenses Of candidates out
Of the rates, closing all public houses on
election days, and the inclusion of a
clause charging the scope Of the bill de-
filming the franchise rights of dodgers
A bill already weighted with objection
able features and handicapped with the
proposed amendments, will stand a very
slim chance of getting through. The
public house amendment will be sure 10
make trouble, and the proposal to pay
election expenses out of the rates, will
hardly be less offensive TO a number of
the liberal members, as well as the con-
seryatives.

London, April a. THAT the registra-
ton bill will not be passed in the shape
in which it was introduced is absolutely
certain, and it is equally plain that the
trainers of the bill did not expect that it
would be- The crucial factor of the
whole measure is the abolition of plural
voting, combined with the practical
establishment of the one-man- one-vote
principle through simultaneous cleo
tions. This can have no other effect
than to justify the opposition in treating
the bill as gerrymandering scheme, as
it unquestionably will, unless it is ac-
companied by plan of redistribution Of
the constituencies. AS there is no sug-
gestion Of redistribution that estimate of
the measure must stand. From only the
ulOSJ tAbIblllC PAL lAodh pOlib Vi view can
the bill be regarded as an honest measure
or as having been sincerely introduced.

vital principle Of the bill untouched are
not yet clear TO anybody with
the possible exception OF Mr.. Morley
himself Certainly they were not made
plain by Mr. Morley's exposition Of the
measure. The only thing made plain
was that his remarks, purporting TO state
why the government had not included a
clause covering that principle in the bill.

vision is designed with a view
of inducing the landlords to make terms
Liberal provisions are made in regard TO
the paymaut of Arrears Of rent, and in
every essential respect the measure is adj
vantageous to the tenants, while IL Is
less OnerOus than might be expected TO
the landlords. The leaders OF the Me
Carthyite section of the Irish party were

THE ANTI-LoRDs BILL.
The anti-lords bill fathered by Lord
Wolmer, Mr. Cursor and Mr. Broderick,
which was mentioned in these dispatches
a fortnight ago, has assumed definite
shape, and it has obtained the strong OPP
position Of the radicals, who have nothing
for it but jeers. They certainly have
reason to complain of its provisions, and
troduced without considerable change in
its terms. The measure provides that
a peer, after sitting In the House
Of Commons throughout one parliament
may resume his right To sit in the House
of Lords IL he shall so elect, On the
other hand, the bill provides that peer
once electing to sit in the House of Lords

House of Commons. This is decidedly a
jug handled scheme and must of necessity
meet with strong opposition.
The cabinet are having considerable
difficulty in arriving at a decision as TO
the manner in which they shall deal With
the anti-lords question. The ministers
well know that the radicals are deter
mined to force them to o definite
declaration on the question In the
course Of the session, and are alive
10 the necessity Of arriving at some
determinate course Of procedure.
They are continuing their discus
sions on the subject at every meeting Of
the cabinet, and every effort is being
made 10 reach some conclusion in the con
struction of some form of measure re
stricting or abolishing the veto power Of
the lords that will command the approval
of majority of the House of Commons.
