Some New and Startling Views
on the Recent Action of the
Political Parties in America.

LONDON, July 25-[Copyrighted,
1896, by the Associated Press. THE
wave of socialistic trouble which swept
over Lille. in France, stirred up by
the arrival of Herren Ko Liebneck,
Beebel, Singer and other foreigners at
tending the socialist congress in ses-
sion there this week, will reach Lon
don tomorrow. Though Lille has the
socialistic mayor and deputy, it is evil
dent that the people of that city are
not prepared to swallow such whole
sale outbursts of socialism as were in
dulged in by the congress, and the re-
suit has been riots of such charac-
ter as would. if it happened in Paris,
says the Times, have sent a shiyer
throughout Europe.
The trouble started with the posting
of placard by the municipality invit-
ing the inhabitants to welcome their
brothers from abroad. Counter pla-
cards were posted by republicans in
citing the people to hiss the process
sion. So, when the socialist process
sion marched through the city on Fri
day evening, it was greeted with cries
of "Vive La France" and "A Bas
Prusse." The line was broken and the
mayor became separated from the pro-
ceSSiOn. The musicians at the head
of the procession were dispersed. The
crowd waved their tri-coiored flags,
which the socialists tried to seize and
tear.
The international socialist and trade
union congress begins at st. Martins
town hall on Monday. London will
doubtless receive all the anarchists and
socialistic demonstrations incident to
this congress during the next week
more calmly than the ebullitions of the
congress at Lille were received there,
as the presence of Germans in London
furnishes no political provocation. Pre-
liminaTy to the congress there will be
a monster demonstration in Hyde park
tomorrow of socialist workers and
trade unionists, lin favor of interna-
tional peace and amity." There will
be twelve platforms and as many diff
ferent chairmen, all of the latter we'll
known figures in labor or political cir
cles. There will be two delegates from
the continent who will speak in French
and German.
The congress which assemblies on
Monday has four German delegates,
twenty-seven French and four from
the United States. The anarchists, as
distinguished from the socialists, will
hold a welcor1'ir'~ meeting If their own
in a separate hall on Tuesday evening.
Among the noto-,.e people who will at
tend the meeting will be found Elise
Becklus. Princess Krapotyne, Sebas-
tan Faure, James Keir Hardie, Tom
Mann, Benn Lillette, Louise Michel
and others. They Will join in the de-
alterations of the congress.

The London newspapers are devot-
ing, much space TO American politics.
The Daily News, for example, has col
unn sketches of Governor Mckinley
and William j. Bryan, the former by
Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew, and the later
by Mr. Morton Frewen. The Saturday
Review has an article by Golden Smith,
in which the writer says that he be-
lieves that Bryan Will succeed at the
presidential election. Professor Smith
says: 1T is a social and industrial in
surrection, using free silver as It's
watchword, which is the most for1nid-
able feature of the situation. The east
has robbed the west with its tariff and
the west is now going to rob the east
if 1T can in it's turn, by Reputation,
under the form of debasement of the
currency. Golden is justified, but the
task of justification which he would
have desired would have been one en-
failing disaster 10 the American repub-
