order to quiet the rioters at Prague and
elsewhere who had been excited by the
revolutionary disorders in Russia and
Hungary.
According to the bill,suffrage is given Ia
every citizen over "a, whether literate or
not, and large increase in the Socialist
element in Parliament is the probable
result.
But the most interesting feature is that
The bill marks another great step in the
transformation Of the Austrian Empire
from German to a Slav State. There are
5000, 900 SaVs against 100000 Germans.
but in the present Parliament there are
slightly moro German than Slav Deputies.
IN order to somewhat correct the dis
parity, thirty new seats have been allot-
ted the Slavs by the new bill, raising the
total number OF Deputies from 425 to ass.
giving the Slavs for the first time in Aus
rian history slight majority in Parlia-
ment over the Germans and all other
races together.
This is especially significant owing to
