The author says he has seen many political demonstrations in England, beginning with the great Gladstonian progress of 1886, but he has never seen anything like this week's celebration of the Labor victory of last December. To understand it, it is necessary to say a word on the most critical situation in English politics that has arisen since the passing of the first Reform Bill. It is a new situation for which neither the constitution nor the party system makes any exact provision. They had an indeterminate state of parties before indeed, that condition held till close up to the seventies. They also had a semi-revolutionary movement, like Chartism, arising out of a prolonged period of misery and repression.
