Keir Hardie, Socialist.

.1. Keir Hardie has come to this country to preach socialism. He will soon find out that he. cannot get a congregation. —Cincinnati Tribune. Keir Hardie says lie has come to this country to learn. This nails down the lie according to which the object of his visit was to talk. —Milwaukee Sentinel. James Keir Hardie, the British socialist, says that Chicago is responsible for his visit to America, and Chicago has apologized to the rest of the country.— , Fond du Lac Commonwealth. Keir Hardie is disappointed with New York. Judging from the limited amount of space accorded Keir’s doings and sayings by the newspapers New York is also disappointed with Mr. Keir Hardie.— Pittsburg Dispatch. The presence of Keir Hardie “in ourmidst” is one of the picturesque excrescences of the labor movement in this country and in England. The time has gone by when any talkative person posing as an apostle of labor or a champion of the workingman is received seriously.— New York Mail and Express.
