The article focuses on the social and political conditions around the world. The way in which the recent adjustment of the U.S. tariff dispute with Canada is received, is both gratifying and reassuring. Whatever measures it may adopt in combating the agitation for electoral reform, the Prussian Government only emphasizes the indefensible stupidity of its own position. After resorting to the mailed fist to suppress suffrage demonstrations and only bringing on riot in all the principal towns, the Prussian authorities have decided for conciliation, as a result, 120,000 Social Democratic and Radical voters of Berlin paraded last Sunday and in huge open-air meetings voiced the people's demand for electoral reform.
