Capitals partner-Labor-is an inde-
pendent sort of fellow. He puts his
strength and skill into the business, and
claims dividends enough to keep himself
fed up to working trim and to feed and
clothe his wife and children. Capital, in
his thoughtful mood, looks admiringly
upon his sinewy associate, and begrudges
him none of his fair share Of their joint
profits. But as dividends multiply, and all
come into the hands of the senior partner,
he sometimes becomes greedy and grasp
ing. Helives in q palace while his partner
lives in q hovel. He takes his sons and
daughters to Europe TO return on brief
visits as the lords and ladies of our land,
while his begrimmed partner sees but
" "looped and windowed raggedncss" in
his darkened home. The multitude who
toll are just now making motion for
such distribution of the profits as will
reduce this great gulf between the
employers and the employed. They
do not ask that the owner of the
capital shall live as they do, but
they demand an increase of wages
which will enable them to live at
the increased prices of living, even if the
employers shall accumulate wealth
little less rapidly, 1t takes two sides to
make bargain. The labor system under
which one side makes the bargain for
both is slavery. If the strikers demands
cannot be met the employers should
be able to make that clear to the
chosen leaders of the former. If
those demands can be met without
disturbance to reasonable profits,
the strikers should be sustained.
A fair return on capital invested, and a
fair days wages for fair days work.
these are the respective demands of
Capital and Labor. Each must some-
times yield a portion, but there should
be mutuality about it. If either side is
driven to the wall, the submission is but
sullen. Willing labor is the cheapest, at
any price. Capital cannot be perma-
nently safe in u country disturbed by the
discomfort of underpaid labor The
present labor troubles are serious, and
are increasing. If Capital does not make
every exertion possible in favor of just
arbitration of differences it will be guilty
of the supreme folly of neglecting its own
interests.

Ready Relief Demanded.

Senator Van Wyck is what the girls
call just too splendid for anything The
seat he has in the Republican coach ap-
pears to jar him. The seat he has at the
Republican table is apparently neglected
by the walters He fasts at the feast.
He went from New York to the bounding
West, and there he seems to have culti-
Sated impetuosity. He is so mad at the
President and the Cabinet and the party
committee and everything in gem
eral, and he scolds in such q
beautiful high G. The country will
recognize the true Reform ring in his alb
turgations. His oratory is that of the
postponed statesman. He wildly sounds
the alarm, and the country will soon de-
mand that the President shall cease stir
ring him up. If there is balm in Gilead,
Senator Van Wyck will be voted dose
of that balm. What private griefs he
has we know not. 1t was Sullivan in
Pennsylvania. We appeal to the Adj
ministration to ascertain what gentlemen
want, and give it to them, else we shall
all be made deaf by their outcries.

The Anti-Revenuc Party.

The people groan under taxation. A
man cannot drink whisky, chew to-
bacco, smoke, or take snuff without pay
ing tribute to the national treasury. This
is internal taxation. The Democracy
say the whole internal revenue system
should be abolished. 1t is British-away
with it, Then man cannot drink tea,
champagne, French brandy or Holland
gin, or buy imported cloth or silks or
laces for his own or his wife's and
daughters wear, but he must also pay
tribute to the national treasury.
This is external taxation. The Democ-
racy say in effect that the whole tariff
system should be abolished. 1t is build
ing up monopoly. Away with that, too.
And as we have only the internal tax
and the external tax, and rs both are Of
fensiye to the Democracy, it follows that
If the wicked Republicans could only be
disposed of there would be no taxes to
pay at all. 1t was the boast of
a jolly Congressman not many years
ago that he had never voted for n
tax nor against an appropriation. This
should be the platform of the modern
Democracy. When they get power they
will no doubt pay the expenses of the
government out of their own pockets.
Until then the old Ship of State will con-
tinue to go by taxation.

THE STAR-RouTE TRIAL,
Judge wy1ic's opinion 20 the TcstI-
mony Thus Far offered.

In the star-routc trial yesterday Mr.. Joseph was
recalled, and further examined as to route sll5.
c. w. Cornell, formerly assistant postmaster at Du
range Col, testified that he carried the mail
part the route from silveron TO Parott City Col,
on route 3s, 1866. lie carried the mail from July 1
TO october /, 1870, when seven trips a week were
made. During the winter the carriers were gem
orally behind time on account of SHOWS.
Mr.. George NJ. Sweeney, Of the contract onioe,
identified several papers respecting the route and
various others were offered in evidence Counsel
for the defense objected to the introduction OF this
documentary evidence, saying 1t was Of the same
nature oyerruled yesterday. Mr.. Bliss said they
proposed TO show that remissons were made from
improper motives, which formed part of the con.
spiracy.
JUDGE wYLTE SAID
in the progress OF the case he had seen nothing
to bring home reasonably strong suspicion Of i'm
proper motives on the part of the second assistant

present he would exclude the testimony which the
prosecution proposed TO offer. "ShRll we proceed

Yes" replied the court, "unless you put IN the

The Freight.HandIers, Strike.

The railroad companies whose roads
terminate at Jersey City appear to stand
in need of the services of Commissioner
Fink. That eminent expert in railroad
pooling ought TO be able to bring the
handlers of railroad freight into the great
pool under which the trunk lines are
operating, The railroad managers have
not hitherto been aware of the fact that
the freight-handlers form link, and an
indispensable one, in the great trans
pOrtation lines. They thought their roads
covered the whole distance. They sud
denly find that their roads do not start
from where the freight is shipped, nor
end where the freight is 10 arrive. At
each end there is another link controlled
by human muscle, This muscle is not
owned by the transportation companies,
nor is IL subject to their control. 1t is q
sort of leased line, the lease being termi-
nable at any hour the owners of the
muscle may choose TO designate. In
view of this new discovery, the wise
thing for the railroad kings to do is
TO call in Commissioner Fink, and see
upon what terms King Muscle will lease
his part of the great transportation line,
or for what share of the earnings he will
join the pool. lie may refuse to lease it
at all, Of course, just as Vanderbilt would
refuse upon terms unsatisfactory to him.
Hc may refuse TO enter the pool until he
has grcatinducemonts, justas some Of the
trunk lines do vt times But as experience
shows that the greed of tho great railway
magnates can be satisfied, so we doubt
not but King Muscle can be induced to
come into the combination fhe can only
do rs we'll as the others. The public
watches the contest with the same im-
partial interest that they have hitherto
watched the railroad wars between the
arunk lines.
