THE LABOR PARTY
NUMBERS OF LABOR MEMBERS
 NOW IN PARLIAMENT.
Rapid Rise in Late Years-victory at Recent Election-Attitude Towards Liberal Government Marked
 by Suspiciousness.

The late general elections in England resulted in Liberal landslide, but it was also a great Labor victory. The Illustrated London News says it has taken 22 years for Labor to awake to power, but that the awakening has been complete.
 The News adds that in 1874, when 13 candidates fought in the Labor inter est, Il of them bit the dust; that MT. Burr, the surviving skirmisher of that date and a Gladstonian minister. now finds victorious army at his elbow.
 The English people have been fairly staggered by the results, although they might have taken warning the way things went in the bye-elections, by the ease with which success was won by men supported by the labor repre- sentation committee, "a formidable po- litical battery created in 1900 by a trades union and socialist alliance. The labor representation committee has in this election carried half the Labor seats, and as the younger miner members Belonging to, a separate and hitherto Liberal group show signs of linking on in common independence, we may find the invading army com- pac. as well as numerous body"
 Tho government now in power can not count on the Labor leaders, the latter suspicious of attitude, on the alert to safeguard Labor interests at any hazard. We learn that although the miners representatives and some oth- CTS may be counted upon to cooperate with the Liberals (the present govern

menD, the labor representation com mittec members not only ignore, the Liberals whips, but are definitely sus7 piciouE of the premier. They remem- Der that when minister of war he failed to raise the wages in the ord nance stores at Woolwich to the mini mum standard. The Clarion, an organ to which members of the labor repre- seniation committee contribute, has gone so far as to speak of "Pompey Bannerman's mercenaries," and one of the more outspoken socialists has re- ferred to Sir Campbell-Bannerman as the survival of the unfittest."
 With such talk in the air, and with such attitude, it goes without saying the new Labor leaders will keep closest watch on Liberal moves. The orator of the labor representation committee has proclaimed the Liberals are but on trial. will be given one session, and tha. if nothing is done the government will not be allowed to go in the same old tinkering way" The News humor- ousIy remarks that life in the house will consist largely of high tea and plain speaking.
 In 1894 there was issued Fabiari tract entitled Plan of Campaign for Labor" the writers predicting that if the suggestions therein were followed there would result a sweeping Labor victory, the return of 50 Labor mem- bers. It is interesting to note these suggestions in the main were followed by the organization of the labor repre- sentation committee, that the sweep ing victory ensued. ''The policy of the labor representation committees pol icy of take and give not'-is the policy of Keir Hardie John Burns successor as Labor leader in the house of com- morsD. just as 1t has been the policy of Bebel and the German Social Demo- crats. The German Social Democrats got their hllip from the oppressive poli- cy initiated by Bismarck. The latter growth of Social Democracy Is due to the antagonism of the German work ingnsn to the protection which has raised the price of his food and it is reasoIsble 10 infer that a reversion to protection in this country (EnglandD will be followed by a similar increase in our Labor party"
 Referring to the composition of the Labor group the English paper tells us thar 21 of the members belong to no socialist body. Al the same time 1z M. P's supported by the labor repre- sentstion committee. although not openiy collectivists. have pledged themselves with socialist comrades to attlck monopoly and the burdens which the non-produeinx sections inn- poss on the industrious elassss." It is presumed that they also aoquiesce in committee leaflets advocating nation aIizs'ion of railways and other pIanks in the socialist platform As the writer dryly adds. Lshor covers a null titu Ac Of schemes.
 On writer declares of the large new Labor group in parliament: It vzs only by hiding their socialism and run hing under sss trade union banner that members of the Indepen1snt Labor pzrty have not only elected. but have had their s1pensss and salaries paid"

IMPORTED FRoM- INDIA ss'
At Oriental Evening Hostess and Those That Assist in Receiving
 Gowned in Burmese Costume.

A lady who had lived in Burma, which is a land of continual feasting and festive times, devised this pretty and unique evening for her guests:
 At the feast of lights" season Ian terms are in evidence everywhere, with airy, fairy decorations of tissue paper and Japanese parasols, fans and all shapes and sizes of Chinese lanterns. All draperies were taken from the rooms and replaced by strips of crepe paper, pink and white being used and the effect in doorways and over win. dows was beautiful. Large Japanese umbrellas were hung from the ceilings, with lantern suspended from each rib. In the dining room fish poles of bamboo were uses criss-cross up near the ceiling, and from these lanterns were hung, just as closely as they could be used. The candle shades were all tiny Japanese lanterns. Japanese shades or "chicks." as they are called in Burma, screened the large porches, and musicians played there. thus say. ing room in the house proper.
 Several punches of bananas hung in the dining room and a delicious rice curry was served In addition to the customary refreshments. Tn this twinkling fairyland the hostess re. ceiyed her guests. A number of Ter friends assisted her and they were all gowned in oriental cotton robes. made after an exact copy of Burmese wom. ans gown.
 They were adorned with quantities of beads and all sorts of bazar orna. ments. Incense burned in quaint cop. per receptacles. and the man at the door vas sttired in white with a vol. luminous turban.-Madame Merri.
