particular cause it, is 60 this more than to
any other. If, then, trades unionists
do not permit the dlsctssion of politi-
cal subjects within their essociatious, how
is IL that these bodiesA, when rspresented
by delegates ina convention, lose sight of>ths
principle which the subordinate unions ever
hold in view2-Let us glance at some of the
subjects which were brought before the Labor
Congress. Such questions as these:-Fi-
nance, standing armies, pensions, Indian
affairs, the shelter of foreign vessels under
the American flag, military service, and the
abolition of military schools. These are the
subjects of some Of the resolutions offered
during the late session of the Labor Conven-
ton. Now it is ell very well for the. delegates
of the workingmen to understand all about
these things, and it is hard to expect them to
conceal their light under a bushel; but the
tfades unions which send these delegates to
the Labor Congress have right to expect
something different. They might with JUS
tice expect that their representatives should
go to work in a practical manner and take
into consideration matters having a more
direct bearing on the labor question. Pur-
suing the course now adopted, the leaders of
the labor movement stand very much in dan
ger of bringing themselves into contempt. 1t
is impossible that they can accomplish all re-
forms at once; for pity sake let them leave
something for the next generation to puzzle
itself over.

THE NATIONAL LABOR CONGRESS.
FROM the N. Y. Herald.
The National Labor Congress has just
closed its annual session in Cincinnati. Dele
gates were received, committees appointed,
speeches made, and resolutions submitted. Ii
is the same old routine year after year. Last
year we had a similar exhibition. Then the
eight-hour law and the necessity of having
separate political party were the principal
subjects of discussion. Now it is Chinese
labor and political reform, but particularly the
latter. 1t is remarkable, too, that the same
orators and reformers play the principal parts
year in and year out. We have the Trevel-
icks and the Troups, the Cofins and the Gam
erons, the Macs and the O's; and SO they run.
Theories, grandiloquent and profound, are
presented to the delegates and endorsed
unanimously. 1t matters not what question
Is taken up by this annual Labor Congress,
the fact of its being taken up at all is sufi-
cient to show that it has some direct bearing
on the labor question. The most difficult
questions of finance are explained by
committee of men who perhaps
never gave the subject an hours close study
in their lives. In very fact there is no
question in which the Government of the
country is concerned but what the National
Labor Union believes to be its mission to in
terest itself about. There is no denying the
fact that the good government of the coun-
try is matter in which every citizen is con-
cerned; but that it is the special province of
the leaders of trades unions to attempt to
take the matter in their own hands, it is didi-
culous to think of for a moment. But might
it not be well just now to inquire for what
purpose were the representatives of the car
penters, the tailors, the bakers, the black
smiths, the stone-masons, the laborers,
and all the other tradesmen of this
country, sent to attend the sessions
of the National Labor Union? Was it
as workingmen or as politicians the trades
unions sent delegates to this annual gather
inga 1t would be well to have direct un.
derstanding on this point. We know very
well that from most, we might say all, of the
trades unions of the country, political ques-
tions are excluded during the meetings of
those bodies. Political distinctions are not
known within the pale of these organizations,
and if their success can be set down to any
