The REJECTION Of the "workingman candi-
date" by one OF the populous London constitu-
encies, raises the question in England of paw
ment Of members Many. it is SAID, would have
voted for the artisan, could they have been sure
he was able to support himself when elected.
In Europe the practice varies. In France, the
salary of member OF the Corps Legislatif Is
$50 a month during the session; in Belgium the
salary of deputy for the same time is no more
than some $50, while in Norway each rep
Iesentative is pald about one dollar and a half
day during the sitting of the .'Storthing." In
Prussia members Of the second chamber receive
travelling expenses and diet money from the
State. amounting to three dollars a day. In the
Brazils legislator Is said to receive upwards of
$1,000 for his services during session; and the
ton Is double that. The feeling in England
appears to be, that while il is very undesir able
any pecuniary inducements should be held out to
members to enter Parliament. IL Is a different
thing TO provide q small salary Just sufficient to
furnish the necessaries OF life for a man of
ability and straitened means who desires to do
political work.
