INTELLIGENT LABOR LEADERS.
The labor organizations are slowly de-
yelopng some rymarkable men. They are
not the violent leaders OF few years ago,
who believed in arms. hated the police, ana
carried things through by force Of bragga-
docio and bitterness. They no longer blum
1er through strike and they have deNel-
oped leaders who are close. accurate ana
wise students OF the labor problem.
and of the rights and privileges oi
corporations. Every strike mas taught
lesson: every lesson has been well learned,
and the conditions tabulated and balanced.
Among the other leaders, Deylin, Howard,
sargent, Wilkinson. and Holland are re-
markably able Improvements ON me old
timers of the Martin Irons aud Denis Near
ney type. They are men who move SLOWLY,
nut who know what they are about. Inc

AJOcKEY's DISGRACE.
Everybody interested in racing is grie,ed
over the shocking exhibition, the Jockey,

WEBB DECLINES To TALK.
Vice.President webb. of the New York
Central. declined to-day 10 answer IN de-
tail the latest statementof General Master
Workman Powderly in reference To the

him that he has been talking too mucn, ana
that he put his foot in IL.
When Mr. Powdcrly VIZ told that Wee
President webb had repeated that thc
strike was OF long ago, as far as the com
pany was concerned, he said: MI. "eDp
- very much mistaken when he says 80.
lie knows differently. The strike i not
only still on. but there is no likelihood that
il viii be declared of. We know that the
| New York Central is not moving ireighi,
and that its condition Is growing worse
each day"
