Volt Is serious. There lie DO mincing or
gaInsaylng that the radicals are angry.
They make no eonceaIment OF their
rage At bsing rejected by Mr.. Glad
stone Ia his cabinet selections, and OF
their purpose 10 assert themselves at
the coming session of parliament. The
radicals sserl that but for their votes
Mr.. Gladstone would have been left IN
the minority, and the ministers are no
more representative OF the masses that
constitute liberal majority in the late
election than Lord Salisbury himself.
They declare that the time has passed
for the people of England to be repre-
sented IN Il liberal cabinet 10y aristo-
Gratis with titles and tufE hunting can
dIdates for titles, and that the people
are now strong enough u see that the
mer OF the people shall have voice
Iii the government.
Causing Anxiety.
1t is reported that there IS strong
probability of an approach between
the radicals and the Parnellltes.
Should such a combination be formed
the cabinet would either have to bow
to its wishes or resign. The Parnellltes
alone do not control votes enough 10
defeat Mr.. Gladstone; but united with
Mr.. Laboucnere and his associates they
could easily rule or ruin the Libepal
government. The situation Is causing
anxiety winch Mr.. Gladstone Is known
to share, and the only solution appears
TO be such recognition of the radicals
as will bind them to the liberal ranks.
This, at present Is not probable as Mr..
Gladstone is said to be- entirely
bound up with his wing advisors.
Read the Bulletins.
The greatest interest is felt here In
the labor troubles in America, and the
newspapers are making the most of the
subject, as text TO run down the
American republic. The news from
the coal miners Of Tennessee, the iron
workers of Homestead, and the strik-
ing switchmen of Buffalo Is read with
an interest that is significant, and it Is
evident from the mutterlngs heard
among the crowds as they scan the
bulletins or peruse the newspapers that
the success of labor resurrection IN
America would be speedily followed
by similar uprising in England. There
are thousands of people out OF work
and desperate and ready for almost
any deed of violence without regard to
legal results. These people need but
leader and q banner to start riot that
would rival the Partisan commune, and
that might become revolution.
A Measure for Redress.
1t is in the alleys of the east end that
these enemies of existing order can be
met with and listened to, for there they
fear no eavesdropping. They hold
meetings nightly and inveigh against
what they call the oppression of CAPT.
| tai, and talk of what the masses Will
| do when they have the upper hand.
| Among the more intelligent working
men the subject is more calmly con-
| sidered.
al cannot see," said one of these,
"why American workingmen should
have to riot for their rights when they
| have the ballot and really have these
| capitalists at their mercy if they only
knew it. They ought to take the rail
ways and telegraph lines for the state,
| abolish or reduce the tariff and impose
graduated income tax. Then if the
| capitalists attempted to violate the laws
| the capitalists would be the anarchists"
Great Cyclists Reunion.

| the continent has seen began yesterday
