A Political Riot In London-The Rod Flag
and Liberty Cap Hoisted.
BY cable telegram, dated in London at one
o'clock this morning, we learn that some time
on Monday night "rsform mob" attacked
tory or government meeting which was being
held in St. James Hall, "stormed the plat
form" and hoisted the red flag, surmounted by
liberty cap. Much fighting ensued, and very
many arrests were made by the police.
The people Of England appear to have be-
come weary OF the Parliamentary delays
which have taken place during the progress of
the Reform Bill in the House Of Commons, and
fear, perhaps, that the great principle Of en-
ffanchisement, for the realization of which they
have SO earnestly worked since 1882, may be
lost sight Of or extinguished in the many
party compromises by which it is proposed to
lick the Derby Disraeli measure into accept
able shape. The masses have, therefore,
undertaken to stimulate the Legislature and
Executive to a more speedy and healthy course
Of action, and in their efforts so to do they
have given the staid old city Of London
positive sensation, in the shape Of political
riot
Political riots are, at any time and In any
place, but sorry alternatives for the legal asser
ton Of right; but political riots in England are
still worse; they are positively dangerous to
the State, as they have always preceded great
political changes, from the days Of the Gordon
riots down to the time Of the Manchester riots,
and thence to the day OF the recent riot In
HYDE Park, the agitation Of which has not yet
subsidized. The people Of England are very
patient and enduring in their political agita-
lions, and when they riot II affords very conclu
that an act Of last resort has become absolute
ly necessary in order TO secure sons privilege
which they should enjoy. The spirit is not
easily subdued, and although "many arrests
have been made in the present instance, We
are well aware that the police of London are
just now in such bad odor with the popula ce
that they may only add fuel to the flame BY
the execution OF their duty.
Lord Derby's Cabinet, engineered by Dis
raeli, appears to control the situation, but
the hosting Of the red flag and liberty cap in
London at moment when a Bonaparte Is
working the great French revolution to, ap-
parently, legitimate conclusion on the other
side Of the channel, is, TO say tho least, omi.
nous, and may be in the end dangerous TO order
as well as subversive Of the ministry of the
premier.
