JOHN BURNS, OF HATTUBBEA.

V lu treating of the new members who

have comfrinio the British House of Com- monsit would be best to start, perhaps, with a mention of one of those cldermeui- bers, than which there is no more vigor~ ous personality in British public life John Burns; who for iiiany years has been the member for Battersea. He first cn- deared himself to the British public dur- .- ing the great dock strike of 1S99.His own particular friends and followers had known

tze truth long before and hnd reeogiilsed i him one of the strongest and healthiest forces of`£he day.Then came that historic

1 iight for thc docker's “tanner" when

Burns’ straw hat became as an oriilamme in the fray and finally led the way to s very remarkable victory for.unskiiicd labor. Since tlien, as county councillor, member of Parliament/ and in various other ways, Mr. Burns has been over ie- foro the public and it is probably not too much to soy that at the present time no _man exercises such influence over the working classes or speaks with more au- thority on behalf oi' the democracy in Great Britain.

What is the secret of Mr. Burns' power

and iuiiiienocl In the first place beyond all question his uniinpeachiible sincerity. People tired of hear ni’ Arlstides called tliejust, but at the risk of similsriiy in- juring Mr. Burns, one must insist upon his iinnssaliable integrity. In a debate on _

most careful consideration and suppori:,I shui' be happy to hand you a fifty pound note for preaeutiiiq my claim before the gov. rnment." 1

The r ply wliicii Mr. Hurns sent. wus‘

"Dear Sir,-You are an unscrupuloiis'
