BELGICWS QUEER CRISIS.

Belgium at tie present moment is in the
throcs Of a political crisis Of II unique char

franchise, whereby every man who has attained

embodied in the revised Constitution which was
promulgated by the King last year II was left,
however, to the two Chambers sitting separately
to devise the means for putting tie electoral
principles thus sanctioned into practice, and
conflict has now arisen between the Ministry

dissolution is ont Of the question: for, were
Parliament dissolved, every man over twenty
five would be entitled by the new Constitution
to his ono vote. and every married man, or one
Of thirty-ve years oil, TO his two votes. But
how, when or where tho votes should be cast
no one could decide, seeing that the electoral
law determining all these points has yet to be
enacted.
1t Is difficult TO see any Issue to the present
crisis; all the more as the differences between
the Cabinet and its supporters arc OF a radical
and uncompromising character, being by no
means confined to the electoral laws. but also
relating to the projected enactment Of obliga-
tory military service According to the latest
dispatches. the Administration had rendered its
resignation TO King Leopold, which the latter,
however. refused TO accept. being naturally re-
luctant to part with Prime Minister who has
such strong claims upon the gratitude Of his
sovereign and Of Ills fellow-countrymen as NJ.

his Einc years Of office the finances Of the
country with much ability that he has not
merely made good the deficit left by the Liberal
Government .hat had preceded him. but with
diminishing taxation has coDtriyed TO convert
that deficit into surplus, without In anywise
decreasing the efficiency Of the public services.
Moreover. he has cleverly steered the ship Of
State through all the perls that beset ii In re-
vising Constitution that has been in force
for over sixty years, and under the crcum-
stances 1t would appear that there was no man
better fitted to guide the nation through the
difficulties inherent to the sudden change Of an
electorate from less than 10000 to 1,25O00O
His resignation will therefore be a subject of
