Difficulties of Labor Leadership.

The Pittsburg miners who made

president of their union, for his action
at indianapolis iii voting for a COM
promise with the mine owners, sup
piled an instructive exhibit in the diff
h~culties of labor leadership. 1t is fair
to assume that Dolan is sincere in
his desire to do the best for himself
and his fellows, and that he is cor
rectly informed as to the proportion
of organized and unorganized labor
III his district. When he votes 70 COM

minds the miners OF the awful cost

his words are entitled toa respectful
consideration and his arguments
should be met with reason, and not
with riotous signs of rage 1t is I'M
fortunately true that conservative
men like Dolan or men who, while
naturally radical, have proited by the
hard lessons of experience, are very
often set aside by labor unions.

Repudiates Mayor Hosey.

Mayor Hosey, regardless of promis-
es allows Fort Wayne to Il wide
open. As he was elected with the
understanding that he would enforce
the laws his pledges have been brok-
ell. Five Sundays has he allowed the
saloons to remain open and he has
done this seemingly in open defiance
of promises which he made before
election.
Therefore the Fort Wayne Sentinel
the newspaper which stood sponsor
for Hosey when he was weak and
needed a political organ, r~epudiates
him. After having duly warned him
that such a course was inevitable un-
less he changed his policy and after
having given him an another chance
to make good the Sentinel says:
his newspaper feels impelled to re-
plidiate its ante-election endorsement
of MIR. Hosey and to apologize to any
voters who may have been influenced
by the Sentinel's appreciation of Mr..
Hosey to ote for him" 1t must be
decidedly humiliating for a self-re-
speeding newspaper to be forced to
take such a position. If, however,
more of them would follow the ex-
ample of the Sentinel and boldly &C
knowledge that they were wrong in
recommending certain men for polit-
zeal preferrment, politics might be
clarified as a result.-South Bend
