One Hundred and Seventy Thousand
Workmen la Line.
LONDON, May 4th.-To-day's labor dem.
onstration in Hyde Park was magnifi-
cent success, and excelled in point of
numbers and orderly enthusiasm all the
working class gatherings since the great
reform assemblage in 1866. 1t was splen-
did organization. The different sections
taking part in the professions brought to-
gether in the park half a million people,
who met and went through with their
business and dispersed without single in
cident occurring of disorderly character.
The leading sections Were the Trade Coun-
ellis. which included eight groups, repre-
senting the leather trades, metal workers,
and shipping, clothing, printing, paper and
building trades. These bodies, in which
were numerous related trades, mustered in
the specified districts of the metropolis
early in the forenoon, and marched,
headed by their leaders and with bands
and banners toward the Thames embank-
ment, the central point whence the mar
shalled array was ordered to start for the
park.
The gigantic procession moved off at 3
O'Clock amid thunoerous cheers and the
blending of the music of many bands.
Along the route toward the Park were also
special professions, some of which swelled
the embankment columns, while others
marched isolated toward the platform GEN.

The total number taxing part in the yari-
Gus professions is estimated at 100000, and
they were almost lost in the vastness of the
assemblage gathered around the thirteen
platforms upon which the labor.day advo

After the paraders had formed around
the platforms, speaking commenced.

included Dayitt, Cunningham, Graham,

the usual suicidal precautions to stop all
the chinks and crevices before starting up

a sufficient dose to take him of, and his
wife was recuscitated. On recovering her

Mr.. Gladstone Discusses the Question at
Great Length.
LONDON, May 4th.-Lloyd's Neacs to-day
has an article of 5000 words written by Mr..
Gladstone specially for the British work
men on present labor uprisings. In it he
makes the following reference 10 the United
States:
There may come a time when labor
shall be too strong for capital, and may be
disposed 10 use its strength unjustly.
conceive that in our recent history the
Judgment OF the masses has, upon the
whole, been more generous and lust than
the judgment of the leisured classes"
LET 1t not be hastily inferred that if this
fact be so the meaning of it is that they
have intrinsic and indefeasible moral supe-
riority. 1t means rather that for them Or
ganization of life and thought is simpler
and their temptations to pride, greed and
selfishness greatly less.
Were the despotic relation in which
employers once stood to laborers to be in
verted, and were the laborers once to OBJ
tain uncontrolled command, then, indeed,
while their material condition might be
higher, they would be subject to a moral
trial such as they have never yet been
called upon to undergo, and such as only
the strong restraints of the gospel could,
in my judgment, enable them successfully
to encounter.
but such contingency, though it
may be possible, is indefinitely remote. 1t
is most unlikely to arise, and the expert
ence of the United States. which has gone
nearest to trying the question, will bear
witness to that in all likelihood, for there
public right has been developed to the ut.
termost by the action of public law and by
the tone of the manners. Yet capital
must surely hold its own since it crows in
that country more rapidly than ever.
The ultimate power resides in the
hands of those who constitute our democ-
racy, and yet our institutions are not
democratic. Their basis is popular, but
upon that basis is built hierarchy of the
classes and of establishments savoring in
part of fecdal times and principles, and this
not in despite of the democratic majority,
but on the whole with their assent.
II do not know whether history or
whether the present face of the world pre-.
sents similar case of the old resting on
new, of non popular institutions sustained
by the popular free will"

Of check on d bank is not a pay

Acknowledgements of the debt,
Where goods are sold for cash on
delivery, and the purchaser tenders
payment IN a check or draft on his

iditiOnal; and the delivery of the
goods, If made, is also conditional.
If the check is dishOnOred on pre-
sentation, the seller may retake the
goods fer the purchase money, even
from the possession of a third or
innocent party, unless it can be
shown that the seller has been
guilty of such negligence as would
estop him from recovering in equity.
This decision is among the first
rendered by higher courts that is

by other high tribunals, Will settle
a mo0ted question in commercial
circles. Tue same principle has
been applied to unpaid notes by
one or two courts, which have held
that the seller does not lose his lien,

and may retake at any time prior
thereto if the Indebtedness be not
