Now that the Emperor of Austria and King Of
Hungary has forcibly added the alien provinces
of Bosnia and Herzegovina 10 the heterogeneous
congeries OF tribes and nations composing the
Dual Realm, it is timely to have n revelation
made Of the provisions of the impending fran
chise reform bill with which the government at
Budapest proposes to meet the demand which
has been made for many years for a more
equitable electoral system. This revelation has
been made unofflcially, but there are strong
reasons for believing it to be substantially cor

RELATED HOME RULE HISTORY

The famous Home Rule split in the Liberal
party which, more than anything else In our
times transformed the political organization OF
Great Britain, now savors largely OF ancient his
tory. Yet strong have been the dsaCrcement9
concerning It's circumstances and so violent the
passions which have ragged particularly ground
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain as n storm centre, that
any authoritative new light upon It IS to be
welcomed. Such light is given in THE Curnhlll
Magazine" for the present month by Mr.. Henry
". Lucy whose familiarity with those times IS
almost unrivalIel among living men, and also
by Mr.. Henry LaboucheTe, who was then very
close to the heart Of things.
Mr. Lucy quotes q long letter OF Mr.. Labou-
Chere's which gives account of the actual
split and Of the negotiations which preceded IL,
In which Mr.. LabouChere himself n go
between or mediator between Mr Gladstone and
Mr. Chamberlain. According 10 his story, each
Of those distinguished men distrusted the other.
Mr.. Chamberlain thought Mr.. Gladstone was
"shirlling' and deceiving him. while Mr..
Gladstone bitterly hated Mr.. Chamberlain. Tho
crisis arose over a teegrnphic dispatch which
Mr. Chamberlain sent 10 some Of his colleagues.
Both got cross" says Mr. Labouchere, "and the
arrangement lapsed. Joe was foolish in send
ling the telegram, but | always thought that q.
was most in fault He did so hate Joe
". Such a lot of babies Gladstone,
Morley, Zoe ana Bright / never came aCTOSs
-. Gladstone never could quite make up
his mind to yield one inch to joe" A letter
from Mr.. W. s. Calne confirms Nr. Laboucheres
story. and adds that Mr.. Gladstone practically
agreed 10 withdraw the Home Rule bill II he
got second reading in the House. reCast Il
and Introduce 1t in the following year but when
he spoke in the House he did not Indicate an
intention to make any concession, so rhat when
he sat down those who lad been engaged IN the
negotiations felt surprised and dismayed, and
Mr.. LabOucherc turned 10 Mr. Cainc and said ::
isn't the Old Man a thmble rigger:'
or course these bits OF testimony do not set
tie the whole question Of responsibility for the
schism In the Liberal party. nor do they irrev-
ocably fix praise and blame But when we
consider the bitterness Of hostility which was
for years manifested toward Mr. Chamberlain
the evil genius of that whole episode It Is
decidedly interesting and suggestive to find Mr..
Labouchere himself-than whom nobody was
ever more censOrious of Mr.. ChambeTlain-con-
Tossing the opinion that Mr.. Gladstone was the
more to blame That much disputed passage
in British history is not yet entirely cleared up,
and perhaps never may be to universal satisfaC-
tinn, but these sid"lights which are cast upon 1t

and other peoples.
Tint indeed, is the undsguised intent Of the
measure, Count Stephen Tisza, formerly Prime
Minister in a letter supporting the policy OF
the government frankly declares that 1t is
question of the destiny and the future Of the
Magyar nation. The existence of our natlonaI
.'state is at stake" In other words, Magyar
olicarchy is to he maintained. and the non
Macvars. who form about One-hGlt the popula-
ton of the kingdom, are to be reduced to po-
HticaI serfdom. That prospect will not greatly
reconcile servia to seeing the Serbs Of Bosnia
involuntarily Incorporated into the polyslot
Hapsburg realm.

POLITICAL LEISURE CLASS.


The Budget Exhibition is developing much
evidence to show that we live under city
government which is consistently humane to
all those who work for II or deal with it Mans
inhumanity to man IS not eJemplifed by our
city rulers except when 1t comes 10 putting the
cost of humanitaransm on the direct and IN
direct taxpavers 1t Is conceded that the
efficiency of the city's working force IS far
below the normal Yet how could any one ex-
pect a working force to measure up TO the nor
NAL standard of efficiency when it is taught to
believe that il constitutes special leisure
class?
We learn from Controller Metz that there is
an ordinance restricting the strain Of municipal
emplovment to seven hours day weekdays
and three hours Saturdays. This is, of course,
ridicuIousIy inadequate schedule In a great
industrial centre like New York. Even in
Washington-a city of elegant leisure-the
employees Of the federal government are re
duired to work more than thirty eight hours
week In genuine workshop like New
York it is demoralzin% 10 restrict the working
hours OF city employees to such compass 1t
units them for serious competition with other
workers and fills their minds with the false no
ton that they should he absolyed from the tests
applied 70 persons performing the same func-
tons in private business. It is naturally impos-
sible to get good and adequate service out of
class considering itself so exempt. Under pres
ent conditions the city enpoye thinks himself
acquitted if he does every day about half Il
days work. The political powers that be love a
fattened payroll and those not on that payroll
contribute 10 make the big politicians pros
porous and TO give n half years vacation each
year To the city's clerks.
