The Observer.


A striking feature OF the recent elec-
tions in England has been the remark
able increase in the number OF the
Labor members in the new House OF
Commons. Many of these may be
counted upon to vote with the liberal
majority on most measures of import
ance. A considerable number of the
Laborites, however, draw salary from
a Labor fund, and in return are bound
not to vote upon any measure except
those in which the Labor party is
directly interested. Under the law,
members of the British Parliament
serve without compensation from the
public treasury; hence not many men
of the Labor party can personally at
ford the cost which parliamentary SER
vice entails. But no law forbids them
to receive a salary from labor fund,
and so an arrangement of that kind
has been made.
But there certainly is a question as to
the right of these members to bind
themselves to represent only one class
of their constituents. They have put
themselves in the position of being
mere employees and agents Of certain
organization They practically deny
that they are the representatives of all
the people of their respective districts,
and that they are public officers, an
swerable for the State and to the State.
In the circumstances, it may be right
for the Labor organizations to pay
salaries to those who cannot afford to
serve in Parliament without compensa-
ton, but it is certainly not right for it
10 bind such members to vote only on
certain specified measures. Represen-
tatives of Labor are ready enough to
denounce those public servants who
are owned by the corporations; but is
it one white better in principle for
public servant to be owned by labor
organization?
Public Office is a public trust: it is
not an agency for corporations nor for
labor unions, nor even for political
party or machine. When Mr.. Josiah
Howard was elected to the Assembly,
he announced his intention to represent
all the people of the county, a purpose
which he has honestly and learlessly
and effectively fulfilled This is the
only proper attitude for any member
of Parliament, Congress or Assembly
to assume.
There is this, however, to be said on
behalf of the Labor members Of the
British ParIiament the arrangement
we have referred to has been made
openly, and from honest, through mis-
taken, conviction. They make no
hypocritcal profession Of being any.
thing other than what they really are,
not patriots, not public servants, but
representatives ard agentsof the Labor
party. In our own country recent in
vestigations have torn the mask from
some selfstyled,p patriots and have shown
them to be mere agents and hiTelings
of certain corporations Ten stripes of
condemnation should fall upon these
to one that should fall upon the Labor
members of the House of Commons.

HARRISBURG, February 6.-The extra
session of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture for the enactment of reform legis-
lation advocated by Governor Penny
packer in his official proclamation and
supplementary call is almost sure to
adjourn on February 10. A concurrent
resolution fixing this date for final ad-
journment was adopted by the Joint
Rules Committee of the Senate and
House today and was subsequently,
adopted by the House without a dis
senting vote. The resolution will come
up in the Senate tomorrow and there
is every reason to believe that it will
be concurred in by that body.
Many Of the bills to carry out the
Governors reform ideas are either
well advanced on the calendars or
about ready to be brought out of com
mittee and acted upon promptly.
The McClain and the Sheath uniform
primary election bills were reported
out of the Elections Committee to day

On next Wednesday evening, Feb
IA, "The Real Widow Brown" Company
will be the attraction at the Opera
House. The comedy is replete with
fun, fast and furious, and is greeted
with bursts of applause and merriment
everywhere. The mistakes of the
young man who is doing his best to
personate the real, charming widow,
are most ludicrous. He is assisted by
lively young girl with whom he is in
love; while another pair of lovers are
working in the same cause, each una
wares of what the other is up to, max
ing complications immeasurable, and
funny in the extreme.

The Days Delighted a Large Aud
ience.

ience.
Very hattering was the reception,
received by Mr.. and Mrs. Elias Day, at
the opera house, last Friday evening,
when they gave the fourth number in
the Peoples Star Entertainment Course
before an audience that was of the
regulation size. Long heralded ard
much bepraised, the expectations of
the people ran high and that they met
them and more, is to the credit of their
art and justities anew the claim put
forward, that they are unequaled in
their line Of entertainment Judged
by the modern approved standards of
acting, their work was worthy of the
praises it received, many applying
tine superIative of excellence to the
pretty little comedy, in which their
varied abilities were given ample scope
for display. In the several characters
that he assumed, Mr.. Day was always
artistic aud enjoyable, never for once
deviating from the high standard set
for himself and as for Mrs. Day none
that heard her will deny her WORTH
ness to be associated III a professional
way with her distinguished husband.
Each is the equal of the other in all the
elements that ensure success in their
chosen field of entertainment.
