TONES TO TIE LAST.

In Great Britain and Ireland one of
the most infamous wrongs entrenched
by long usage and the sanction Of the
laws is the system of plural voting for
members of parliament.
When a new house Of commons IS to
be chosen, the elections are strung
along for about a week. IN a country
of no great size 1t is easy for a man
TO 60 from one district 10 another and
then on TO a third, in time TO vote ia
as many places as he is entitled TO a
ballot. And he is given that privilege
wherever he has a residence. If he
owns and occupies, at some time dur
ing the year, four or five houses IN
four or five different parliamentary
districts, or divisions, as they are call
ed in England, he can vote for a can
didate for the house of commons in ev-
cry one of them.
The effect, of course, is to give a
rich man several times the power of a
poor man in electing the national par
Lament or congress. 1t is a suffrage
b-oCN dROA property anu the uSpdTl-
ure from a standard such as Ameri-
cans have always been familiar with
is so wide that it cannot be defended
by any believer in the equality of all
men at the polls. 1t is an abuse which
fatty contradicts the oft-repeated as
sertion that Great Britain is really
more democratic than the United
states In its form of government.
Now an effort is being made TO abol.
ish this gross injustice of plural yot.
Ing. The house of commons has PASS
ed bill for that purpose, but the
house Of lords, true to its Tory tradi.
tons, rejected this reform measure by
the overwhelming majority of 166 &c
AZ In the end. the stand of the here
ditary branch of parliament can avail
nothing more than delay, but it will
make class feeling run higher thar
ever in England and breed trouble IL
