WELLINGTON SOCIALIST PARTY LECTURERS.

The Socialist Party of Wellington is now holding a Sunday night meeting second to none. It is maintaining its tenure of the handsome Empresß Theatre, and on each Sunday night is putting up a speaker of distinctiveness. The musical programme provided is of good class and some capable artists have been enrolled for service. The Socialist orchestra is a talented combination equal to many more highly-sounding nmsicianly bodies. Mrs. Cunnington was an acceptable speaker last Sunday week, her intellectual and sympathetic treatment pf a big theme being widely admired. She lectured on "Seeds of Socialism," citing many historical evidences of the belief in universal brotherhood, and tracing the aspiration through the centuries until it foupd scientific shape in Socialism. Dealing with conditions as Bhe had observed them in the Old Land and in New Zealand, IVJrs. Cunnington claimed that a complete change in society was required in order to economically adjust present inequalities. It was a duty to see that none was poor. Competition must be ended. No palliative or trimming could cope with the position.

Last Sunday night H. E. Holland was the speaker. He spoke on ' 'Waihi and its blood-red tragedy," and was most rousing and eloquent. We doubt whether he has ever been heard to better advantage, and we found ourselves wishing he could travel the Dominion with this lecture. On Sunday night next the same speaker will take as his subject "Germany's march towards the Social Revolution." There should be a full house.
