President Cleveland is credited by

President Cleveland is credited by
an Ohio Democrat, who cOnversed with
him on the subject, with practical views
as to the relations of labor and capital
and the duty each owes to the other.
Labor and capital have lno antagonis-
tic interests- When capital, represent
eddy overlooking warehouses, finds no
market for its productions, or only mar
ket Welding loss instead of gain, labor
should sympathize with the difficulty and
accommodate itself with the adverse cir
cumstances. Capital should reciprocate
by sharing its prosperity" To absorb
all the benefit of prosperous trade is not
more kindly on the part of the one tnan
of the other. 1t is equally true that to
throw the whole burden of business de-
preston and it's consequent loss or profits
upon the one, while the other, without
sympathy, exaGts its usual remuneration,
is likewise Questionable. If, as Mr..
Cleveland says, ''sonnd business judgment
were allowed to prevail, all friction would
be avoided" Employers and employees, in
the last analysis, have Identical interests,
and the general prosperity can be best
advanced by each studying in business
like and kindly spirit to promote the
wcll-being of the other. Thus the Ia
borer soonest becomes himself capitalist.

Tronbla for CLEVELAND.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Evidence
crops out that the President will have
more opposition to his appointments
from Democratic Senators than he
will have from the Republicans. The
Republican Senators will make no
factiOus opposition. "FactiOus" is
word frequently heard nowadays,
and by it Is meant that so long as the
President does not deliberately turn
out Republican whose term Of Office
has not yet expired and give his
place to some Democrat for no other
aeason than party gain, the Repub.
Iicans of the Senate will not make
any fight against confirmation of the
nominations. Where the tenure of
Office law has been violated it may
be depended upon that the nomina-
tion will not be easily confirmed. On
the other hand, some Democratic
Senators, voorhees,, of Indiana, for in
stance, have boldly announced their
intention of devoting their energies
to secure repeal of the Civil Service
law on the ground that it is uncon-
stitutiOnal in limiting the power Of
the President in debating his nomi-
nations for Office.
Democratic Senators do not like it
because the President is likely to
consult the views of Republicans
somewhat before sending nomina-
tons to the Senate. 1t is his purpose
to request any Republican Senator
who knows of any objection to a
nominee appointed during the recess
of Congress to come to the White
House and state why the nomination
should not be made. Any change
the Republican Senator may make
will be duly considered and investi-
gated, and if found to he true the
nomination will not be sent to the
Senate. The President has stated to
the Republican Senators that he will
try to select the best men in every
case. and to that end he wants the
advice of Republicans as well as
Democrats. This intention on the
part of the President recalls the ex-
preston of Mills, of Texas. in the
House last winter, when he describ-
ed Mr.. Cleveland as the Democratic
Repub lican President. 1t is evident
that the feeling of those who oppose
the civil service law cannot long be
kept under after the session of Con-
gress begins.
