4 BOULEvARDlsT on THE SITUATION.

They Are Satisfied with the Order Prohibiting
All Parades-rhey Don't Want to Turn Out
II the Orangemen Don't.
The action of superintendent Kelso in prohibiting
the Orange procession on the 18th Of July was re
ceived on the bOulevards and on the neighbOring
works with the greatest satisfaction yesterday, and
the question OF the probable action Of the Orange
men discussed by the various groups Of laborers
in the intervals OF their TOLL and apparently without
being able to arrive at any satisfactory decision.
Some maintained strongly that the AFFAIR would not
come or as the police would be certain to
DIsPERsE THE 0RANGEMRN
should they venture to appear, while others dog.
gedy held to the opinion that the police proclama-
ton would certainly be disregarded But in every
case the interest felt in the result intense and
the excitement though subdued was still visible.
In their conversation with the HERALD reporter the
men evidently did not care to say all that
they felt; but still on the broad issue they had IN no
way changed their views To them there was
nothing strange In the city authorities refusing 70
protect q body OF men whom, rightly or wrongly,
the Hi5ernian sympathzers consider to be enemies
to the government under which they live ana up
holders Of
THE OLD MONARCaICAL NOTIONS
Of the divine right Of kings and other absurdtics
On oil sides, however, good deal OF satisfaction
necessary by the acon Of the police, and the sent
ment OF peace seemed to be decidedly in the ascend
ent: but 1t must be confessed that not man said
word which could be interpreted as a desire for
peace at any price. AS the conditions were honor
able however, the men seemed only too happy to
accept them and so escape the responsibility which
would inevitably attach to them should there be
CONFLICT IN THE STREETS.
II the Orsngemen, they said be prevented nom
parading then there Will be no disturbances; but
should they come out, no matter what the result
may be, no matter how much we may suffer, they
shall be attacked. There could be no mistasing the
deep earnestness with which the men uttered these
words. 1t was evident that their minds were made
up aud that nothing would turn them aside from
their resolve but the abandonment OF the process
sion 1t was strange thing TO look at the gangs OF
men steadily at work as If all were peace within
and there was no disturbing thought IN their
breasts. No one who had not been told could for q
moment Imagine that these quiet looking groups OF
men, WORKING so indusriously with pick and shovel
End sledgehammer had made up their minds to set
their lives OH the hazard OF die. There they toed
aud sweltered IN the noon day sum-
THE VERY PICTURE OF PEACE
and toll and yet on the morrow they may be called
to 80 ont TO shed their own and others blood IN
stupid feud that should have been forgotten
hundred years ago.
Approaching gang Of men who were at work on
the boulevard the HERALD reporter engaged In
conversation on general topics for few minutes
with the foreman Of the gang, VINO proved to be
rather intelligent man, OF quiet, business-like
manner. In a few minutes the conversation naiu-
rally drifted TO the great topic of the day
THE EXPECTED RIOT
and after talking good deal on the merits OF the
quarrel the reporter asked What your opinion or
Superintendent Keso's proclamation
FoREMAS-weI the opinion here Is that ~ Is very
good and win save good deal Of trouble. We
