Tbey ara begin ning now to appreciate their natural and logical positions relative to each other. from time to tin. we bare wltneeeed flerca strife between the two. At tiroes ' : there bae been war to the knife. Neither Me bae consented to give quarter to tba other. But especially in recent .var wa bare wltneeeed a tendency between these warring element 10 compromise .., their dlfferenc-a, elnk their prejudices .' And clasp hand with each other In the promotion of tbelr mutual welfare. .Especially I title tendency apparent, ' snd Impressively eo, In the occurencee of 1 tbe declining days of tbe old year and In the opening day e of the new year. What lee ! elgnlfled by the advanced wagrn allowed by tbe big railroad all over th I country, and by varioue powerful Indus trial combinations situated here and ' there In the land? Perhapa the beat Illustration may be pointed oat In the action of the United State Steel Corporation. The plan ad vanced la two-fold. Ona part prov idea for the aale to em ployee, on easy terma, of 25,000 of pre ferred atock at $82.50 a abare, with an itra-dlvidend of 5 per cent, to thoee . who take tba stock and remain in the mploy of tba coporation. Aa tbe atock now aella tor $85 a ahare, the aavlng to tba purchasing employe la $2.50. Tbla idded to tbe 7 per cent, guaranteed dlvl- ' 4nd, plus the 5 per cent boons for falth Jalnees provides for a 14 per cent. Investment. " .Tnera are various other pointa of in terest about tbla plan, but it la pot our ' purpose to outline thaji in thfa place, tbe acberae la cited almply to Indicate jthe ten dency of capital. It baa become coquet lab.

But ona thing is certain, the tendency nf the 5 times la toward an alliance between can- Ital and labor. Hegotatlons toward tbiaend must pro grass alowly. Bitter experience mu-t teach tba contending factions wherein taelr interests lie. The cool strike baa proved to have been an educating Influ ence In tbla respect. Each faction baa - learned the ntter unprofitableness of war Thle strike baa not only educated tba miners and tba ooal operatora, but It baa admitted tba general public to the eecret. Buttle it to say that when tbia alliance . between the capitaliat and tba skilled laborer la perfected, tbe mass of the peo ple who belong to neither of the factions mentioned had better look oat. . We are heartily glad to see an era of peace foreshadowed. We welcome the fact that corporations are beginning to hare proflta with tbelr laborers, and to guarantee them pensions la old age. But , while tbla la taking place we want to tea It the people at large cannot be ad- ' nsitted to tbe proSt-sho wing scheme, and, , Agvratlvely speak Id g, to the pension ys- tern too, , ,1be ire Preea tblnka that there are WaVS nf hrlncrtnir fk nnhlln In mm t if Aclary Into thia alliance.

Since the wave of excitement which ewept over the country when Cleveland broached the subjec t of returning' the captured flags of the Confederacy these colors have reposed In the top of tbe war department. Year by year they have grown dustier, resting undis turbed. Recently one of the otliciiils inaugurated a thorough cleaning up of tbe garret In which the flags were kept. The dirt of summers was swept out, und now lu clean and tidy array there reposes n group of hundreds of banners, each furled around its staff and all resting fcack against the white washed wall of the tiny room nt the war department. Against the side of tbe wall nearest the door are many of tboae once taken by tbe Confederates, but recaptured and sent to the depart ment The great number comprises those which once led the Confederates to battle and are now ranged along the length of the room.

It Is the only badge of newly acquired honor that lie wears: There was a group of congressmen and newspaper men at one end of the corridor, who detected "Uncle Joe" casting furtive glances at the walla where hang portraits of for mer speakers of the house. '"Ah, bar called out a 8cribe. "You're looking up there wondering bow you'll look when your picture takes Its place among the others." Mr. Cannon actually blushed. "Well, boys," he said as he familiarly greeted every one In the party, "you know It was Mr. Dingley who aald that be took a certain pride in hia per sonal appearance, and If the governor, who was never accused of being hand some, could do so, why not I?" And "Uncle Joe" has never taken a beauty prize. tlenrr'a Shifting Birthplace. "Henry, where were you born? asked a Joking member of the house the other day of Henry Neal, colored messenger of the speaker, and an In teresting character about the capltol for muny years. "Born, aah? Yes. sab. I was born In Illinois, fo' sua h. sab," was tbe reply- "Well, you'll have to revise that. Mr. Cannon was horn In North Caro lina." And tbe crowd of statesmen In tbe lobby broke into a hearty laugh at tbe messenger's expeuse. "Oh, that's easy, sub," was Henry'a last word. They tell of Henry that be has been born In the native state of every speak er since Mr. Kelfer and baa thus been able to land the office of messenger. It was all very nice and plausible In the cases of Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Crisp, who came from the south. It was quite a strain to shift way up to Maine when Mr. Reed became speaker, but Henry's most awful moment came when he learned that General Hender son was born In Scotland., He took the plunge, however, and retained bla place.

Mr. Tarklngton, you know, is now a representative to the state legislature of Indiana. lie tells in connection with bis campaign lug many amusing incidents. "A friend," said Mr. Tarkington "stumping for me thought be would feel the sentiment of a crowd be was about to address at a crossroads. " 'Are you going to vote for Tarking ton?' he Inquired. "'You mean that actor fellow?' asked a man lu the crowd. "'Yes. that acrobat.' said my friend "That's what," came the reply. " 'Why?' he asked. "'Want to see what : rt of a foo he'll make of himself,' was tbe cheer ful retort." Probably the most amusing fictitious story told at his expense was the one that gained general credence concern Ing a doughnut factory. Mr. Tarklng ton owns a little coiner piece of prop ertv in ludiMininolis which be rents to a linker. The baker's next door neigh bor objected to the smell of doughnuts baking and asked him to discontinue their making. The baker refusing, be brought suit, and Mr. Tarkington, as owner of the property, became co- defendant. Then some one as a Joke circulated the reporf that he had started a dough nut factory H was published abroad, and his newspaper clippings increased threefold. His friends greeted him on tbe street with, "Well, Tarkington, how are doughnuts';" , The Indianapolis .papers cartooned blm rapidly eating doughnuts.

"If my friends do not buy my books, who, pray tell me, will buy them?"
