The', Prime Minister .of that ha3 submitted his project to his colcolony leagues, and it will be interesting to watch for the result. There is no intention to propose the' enfranchisement of women at large, for which change the1 time has not arrived either in Australia or the United Kingdom. The measure simply provides that all wromen who obtain a place on the municipal register shall be jelimbIe.idsQjGM:tha.arJi mentary register. 'These women may be married or unmarried; all the requirement is that they shall be of full age and entitled to a municipal rote aceordifiFttFeIalvrF Victoria, and the municipal roll "sh a Il"furnish the basis of that for Parliamentary purposes. Colonials move faster than their, kindred at home. .The roots of their institutions are not yet deep; very few obstinate prejudices have descended to them as inheritance, and they can lace problems unshackled by sentiments and considerations which retain vitality in our older system. They are setting a good example in this endeavor to remove a harsh disability from the gentler sex, and we trust their enlightened courage will be rewarded with success. Liverpool Mercury.
