LONDON, July 22.-The Telegraph says:
''The demonstration of trades unions, at
Hyde Park, yesterday was the most remarka-
BILE and imposing witnessed during Victoria's
reign. Over 100000 men marched in the
procession, with decorum rising
to dignity. 1t will not do
for the peers to mock or undervalue its
peaceful, simple methods or decry it as
paid show.n

people was admirable, but the demonstration
has not changed the political situation in tho
slightest degree. The judgment of the ST.
! lent and modest section of the community
will not be Affected
The ministry should concern themselves
with the sober majority who stay at home
and think for themselves Instead of follow
ing brass bands through the streets and pass
ing resolutions.
