The contest for Parliament in England next year promises to be 0110 of the most complex as well as one of the most import- ant that has been held in a long time. While the ]resent Parliament has some mouths of life still before it and is likely to enact some very important 103isletiol) before dissolution, both the great English parties have begun the canvass for next year, and 801110 of the smaller politi0al elements have taken similar a011on. The registry lists for the election are al- ready being made up, and thorn is always considerable friction over that, for upon it, of course, depends the right to vote. Overseers blade up the lists August 1, and they 10000 then posted for throe weeks for public inspection, Of course bona parties will try to get Pts many of their own adherents added to those lists a8 possible by the registration 00000 which are 11010• ill 3089101, amt as many of the adher- ents of the opposition ron09e3 as awl be, so that the preliminary contest for next year can bo said to bo 1010 wa3iu3 in the English ole01)01) courts. The most import- ant mow feature recently developed. is the manifest determination of rho labor organi- zations to run a ticket in boroughs where they aro strong. John Burns, the London Socialist, le put forward in ono London 0011, etitueuoy and others, ,no loss radical, will sLaud elsewhere. This speaks volumes for the spirit of the 190ggIish labor societies, for to put forward such a candidate for Parliament means not only the expenses of a campaign, 10111011 Might easily best -nail; but thopaying of a salary to the candidate during the seven years' life of Parliament, if ho is elected. It is a heavy tax an the workingmen, but they believe 8tlelt representation, especially if they eau gain twenty or thirty members. and thus hold the balance of power, will bo worth in reforms effected, many times its cost.
