1t is not an uncommon thing to hear
the walking Delegate" condemned
and ill-spoken of by everybody with
whom he comes in contact. He is the
most abused man in the labor world.
The bosses find fault with him be-
cause he enforces working rules and
working conditions, and the workmen
do likewise when he calls a strike on
a job-because they lose time. If he
follows the instructions given him by
his superiors it is wrong, and if he
don't it is wrong also. He is expected
to be paragon of perfection, polite,
agreeable. educated and gentlemanly-
capable of performing things impossi-
BILE. If he succeeds in the undertake
ings, without causing trouble to any
one, he is good Fellow. If he fails
he is no good, he is a skate-he sold
out and he did hundred and one
things that no one else would be
blamed for. What on earth do we
want? A human being without hui
man nature? If such is to be the
makeup of our walking delegates of
the future, am afraid that we will be
doomed to disappointment.
The Walking Delegate" is our rep
resentative. He looks out for our in
terests and welfare-sees that the
hours of labor per day are observed
and the regular rate of wages paid;
enlists the sympathy of other trades
in our behalf; fights our battles day in
and day out; collects our wages from
inscriptions employers, who forgot
that Saturday was payday, and does
scores of other things to protect us in
our daily toll. If this is true then the
mayor of city, the governor of a
state, or the President of the United
States stands in the same relation to
their constituents as the walking dele
gate does to labor organizations.
Notes.
All labor legislation which has been
secured in this country to protect the
workmen against the unjust conditions
of industry has been secured through
the efforts and influence of trades I'M
ions.
Organized labor is part of the
tendency of the times and is the child
Of the present order of civilization. To
ignore it is as great a folly as to try
to row up swift stream. No individ-
uals have ever successfully withstood
the current of the times in which he
lived.

A SAD CASE.

Mrs Clara Dyer, a South Side wo-
man, who has been taken into custody
several times recently while she was
apparently wandering about the city
with a deranged mind was taken be-
fore the commissioners of insanity to-
day with result that she was order
ed taken to the county hospital for
treatment. The case is very sad
one, and touched the hearts Of those
who heard it. 1t appears that
the woman has child bur
led at Agency, and that frequently
she gathers her other small children
together and starts to Agency to visit
the grave of the dead child, About
three months ago she was discovered
agout two miles east Of the city and
last Saturday night she had gotten as
far as Vine street. Both times she had
the children with her, and they were
crying bitterly. In each case the
police prevailed upon her to return
and no further action was taken. OF
late, however, her condition has been
SO bad that it was found necessary to
restrain her, with the result that she
was today taken before the commits
sioners of INSANITY.

Chinese Exclusion.

1t is high time that every member of
organized labor and others who wish
to see American labor kept free and
independent, begin in earnest to use
their influence to secure at the hands
of congress the re-enactment of the
Chinese exclusion act, which expires
by Limitation May /, 1902. Should this
important matter be allowed to pass
unnoticed and the law not be re-en,
acted 1t will be but short time until
the United States will be filled with
Chinese laborers who will make short
work of the independence of the
American workman. The best way
to be of help in this matter is for
lodges to pass a resolution at regu-
lar meeting and be sure that the same
is sent to the senator and representa-
tive from each respective district

Replying to the editor of the New

B. Il. De Costa, the noted Catholic con-

as good Il right to live in the Philip

they have just as good a right to live
in New York as you have" They have
a better right to live in New York than

O'Donovan Rossa quotes Joe Cham
bcrlain as saying: "England need have

bases his alleged statement upon the
information of British spies in Amcri-

cieties in America keep quarrelng,
England need not fear any trouble
from this side of the ocean. Engand's S
policy in dealing with the Irish has
always been "Divide and Conquer"

France is pleased at the tone OF
Roosevclts speech on the Monroe Doc
trine, but England is not. Since
Cleveland's famous message on the
Venezuelan affair the British people
shudder at the mention of the Mon-
roe Doctrine. They need not be
alarmed. 10 avoid any unpleasant
ness, all they have to do is to keep on
their own side Of the big pond and
check their piratical propensities. They
can never treat any South American
republic as they did the Transvaal and
Orange Free State.

President Baer, of the Philadelphia
& Reading Railroad, is pious and
philanthropic gentleman. He says
that the miners who are on a strike in
the coal regions will be protected and
cared for by 'the Christian men and
women to whom God has given the
control of the property interests of the
country" The Republican party of
Pennsylvania, of which Quay is the
boss, has given the coal barons the
control, and Gov. Stone gives them
troops who shoot down the men who
refuse to work for starvation wages.
Baer's talk is blasphemous.

for themselves, not aggressive. Slav-
cry was prescribed by the worlds con-
science as utterly immoral and un-
justifiable. The rights of the weaker
and oppressed nationalities, like Po-
land and Ireland, were admitted if not
effectively maintained, and the liber-
alton of such peoples was regarded
as only question Of time and method.
The change seems to have come
with the rise of Bismarck to a COM
manding position in the politics of
Europe. The plumber of Denmark in
the matter Of Schleswig, in spite of
the preference Of the vast majority of
its people for the Danish language
and nationality, was the first step;
and yet even that was achieved under
pledge of restitution, which has been
cynically ignored Then came the war
with France, resulting in the rendinr
of large portions of really French ter
ritcl'y from the only country their
/ people loved, and their forcible in
corporation into Germany. Thus was
created an empire resting on unjust
and artificial boundaries on three.

on the north and the French on the
west, all being held down by mere
force, in defiance of political right,
The admiration which Bismarck,s
seeming success inspired, helped to de-
Dauch the conscience Of the civilized
world. From that time we began TO

lcal wisdom. From that time we
found the Ten Commandments of Cod

And we have been learning the
same bad lessons from the same nm
scrupulous teachers. Machiavelli and
Bismarck share in the direction of o,,,.

ICES what it means and startles tho

will be promoted, as Gen. Kitchener
was for his cruelties in the Soudan
and the Transvaal, and not punished
as Gen. Smith has been for his little
necessary seventies"
All this, Of course, reacts on our
politics at home. The same spirit an
imates the treatment of the domestic
negro, and that of the Philippine "nig-
ger" Even twenty years ago we
would not have endured the disfran-
chisement Of the negro by state con-
