Burns, the English Labor Leader,
Talks in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. S1.-John
Burns, M. p, the English labor leader,
arrived here from Washington tonight
and addressed an audience that filled
every available spot in Association hall.
The meeting was under the auspices of
the United Labor League, and among
those present were John w. Benn, NJ
P. who accompanies MIR. Burns; Presi-
dent McBryde, Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor; P. j. Mcclure, the
first vice president; Bishop Whitaker.
and large number of prominent labor
workers and professional men. Over
100 lace curtain operatives now in this
city, who came from Battersea, Burns
own town in England, were among the
audience.
Burns, who was introduced as THE
Worlds Champion of Labor" was
greeted by vociferous applause, which
was continued throughout his address.
He said he had come to this country to
study. as well as a brief stay would per-
nit, our social and industrial condition.
The subject upon which he dwelt par
ticularly was trade unioniSm, which, he
said, holds the fort in Philadelphia. In
the early part of his address he said:
"lt was the people who predicted
what they called my premature criti-
cism of American institutions, who. the
very moment stepped off The railway
car ON my first visit to Chicago. wanted
to know my opinion of the social and
industrial condition of that city. When
| had the courage to tell them they
wanted to know what right l had to
criticse the city, but L went back ten
days afterwards and said it again, only
ten times stronger.
LIN Europe" he proceeded, "all
social and industrial problems are &C.
centuated by the burden Of miitarism,
and you are rapidly getting it mere. We
have 100000 armed men in Europe,
legaiZed murderers. gilded popinjays,
not only not producing anything, but
destroying everything. They are kept
less for resisting foreign foes than as
recruiting ground where England can
put her children who have not enough
brains to earn their living"

MAY RE HAPPIER.

A year ago this morning we all wished
each other, with all heartiness, that the
new year that opened OH us might be
happy one. This morning the same
cheerful wish is expressed by every pair
of lips in the country capable of articu-
late speech, from the babbing child to
the gray-haired veteran OF combats with
the ups and downs of many years. The
hope that springs eternal III the human
breast' bids us look the. young year in
the face with smiling face and give it
friendly welcome, trusting that we and
it will get ON together in friendly
fashion for the twelve months to come.
And so, despite the experience OF the
past, we greet each other with our
Happy New Years. hoping against hope
that the wish may find fuifillment i'll
the twelvemonth.
We might better wish our friends and
the world happier New Years, instead
of happy ones. We know full well that
the year will have only its share of joy,
and that sorrows will come into it to
drop their bitterness into the cup OF
JOY. The year past has not been bur
dened with the events that bring hap
pineSS. 1t has been hard and cruel
year. Poverty has sat closer and longer
at hearths. where it is not an unaccus-
toned guest, and has entered doors
where 1t was stranger. 81 can't afford
w Is an expression more often used
than ever in response to demands for
the necessarieS of life. There has been
more clearing of the Wreckage of the
financial storm OF '93 than of rebuilding.
So let US learn wisdom, and this morn
ing wish our neighbors and the world a
happier New Year than we have had.
Let US hope that 1.-THE clouds that lower
upon our house" may be Tin the deep
bosom of the ocean buried" though we
know they will not. Anyway. we can
expect that there will be riffs in the
cloud, though which the sunshine will
stream to warm and brighten our lives.
When things are at their worst they
begin to mend, says the old saw, and the
Chinese wisely say that sit is darkest
just before the dawn" And so the
GLOBE wishes that the New Year that
opens this morning may be happier
New Year for all to whom It's greetings
may come.
