COMING DOWN.

However it may be with the citizen at
large, the editorial mind brings itself with
some difficulty from the contemplation of po-
litical subjects, in which 1t has been absorbed
so long. to the consideration of other matters
pertaining to the human welfare. The cam
paign being ended, there is no longer neces-
sity for dwelling on the dangers of free wool and
the awful iniquity of the Mills bill; but after
six months discussion of the tariff the atten-
ton is diverted to other and less fascinating
subjects with something of wrench. Per
haps it may be as we'll to make the humble
admission just here, that it is apparently
only the Republican editorial mind
that is so affected, Democratic and
independent" editors having shown their
ability to turn airily from profound dis
QUESTIONS on reform" on Tuesday to discus
sions on Wednesday of the question, as mar
riage a failurel" This versatility may be &C
counted for either by the thistiedown light
ness of the Democratic and independent"
minds, which forbids close study of serious
things or to their lack of sincerity in advo-
eating their several so-called principles. At
all events, to make the confession personal
and specific, the Journal descends slowly from
the lofty plane of craftsmanship and politics
to an eve :y-day level. From the election of q
President to assisting an election crook
into the penitept;ary ia long step, read
ers and brethren. bouncing" the wicked
opposing party, as whole, is
different and more agreeable employment
than measuring out the deserts Of that
party's petty individual rascals, necessary as
the latter operation may be. To jump at
once from exposures of diabolical English
free-trade schemes to reflections upon the
weather, the condition Of indianapolis streets,
or the atrocious quality of our Illuminating
gas. is putting the editorial braih at some
thing Of disadvantage; but, NEVERTHELESS, it
can be done. There will, perhaps, be a ling
ering campaign flavor to the utterances of this
and other Republican papers for some days to
come. but from this time forth the exclusively
political tone of the Journal will be modified,
and other secular as we'll as religious topics

INDIANA POLITICS.


Ordinarily the Hoosier is not creature Of
one idea At ali times, save in political cam
paipps. he is interested in the various affairs
of life to degree of intensity that might
naturally be looked for from one of so ardent
nature. Although not of contemplativs and
spiritual character, he is even concerned with
the next world and its possibilities as well as
this. All such interests are set aside as Of
minor Importance. however. at the beginning
of presidential contest. The daily routine
must go on, but he takes part in it mechanic
ally. He eats and drinks and. with his mind
on politics, he dreams of politics; he does his
daily work in a perfunctory way and hastens
its completion that he may have more time
for politics, theoretical and practical. but
chiefly the latter. Whether there is some
Indiana atmosphere that leads to such Absorb

been settled. Something is due to the fact
that it is "close" State; but this

measure of enthusiasm, since citizens of other
States also close, by no means throw them
selves headlong into the political arena with
the precipitancy characterizing the Hoosier.

PROPIT-SHARING.

In a recent article on cooperation, or profit
labor and wages question, we commented on
the general features of the system and its sue
cesstul operation in practice. 1t may be in
teresting to know something more of it's prac-
teal operation. The fundamental idea of the
plan is that workmen are made sbarers in the
profits. This differs from a partnership in
which the partners share in losses well as
profits. Proft-sharing. as the term indicates,
does not include loss-sharing. If there are
actual losses. they fall on the employer or
capitalist.
One of the advantages claimed for profit
sharing is that by making each workman in
terested in the profits of the business, he be-
comes careful and saving. works more
steadily and with better results. A Partisan
photographer declares that he RECEIVERS 33 per
cent. of profits assigned to his workmen sim
ply through their economical use of Etho-
graphic stones. One of the workmen in
pro6t-sharing factory said:
Before the introduction of proft-sharing
three quarters of the men. and many a time I
among them, left their work at the earliest
possible moment, worked as little as they
could ard were constantly clamoring for
higher wages. Since that time everything
Is changed. We often work a little overtime,
and we don't expect wages to be raised in hard
times. In those old days the floors and work
benches were always covered with the oil.
Now the oil is more carefully used, and there
is a constant effort TO spare the floor, so that
frequent cleanings and renewals may not eat
up our profits. We take good care of our
tools. aud carefully gather up the clippings
of metal which fall. These are little things.
but at the end Of a year they amount to a
great deal"
These little things are looked after much
more closely and their value more highly APP
prsciated in Europe than in this country, but
the time will come when this kind of economy
will have to be as closely studied here as
there, in order to preserve margin of profit.
It is plain that proft-sharing tends to pre-
vent strikes, for when workmen see there are
no profits even for the employer they will not
strike for higher wages. Strikes are gen.
orally based on the idea, often grossly errone-
Gus, that capital is getting largely more than
its share Of the profits of the business, that
the employer is making money very fast,
while bis wcrkmen are only getting living
wages. In very many instances this is mis-
take Evidently. it could not occur under
the proft-sharing system.

ing plan are the determination and adjust
ment of the ratio in which profits shall be di-
vided SO as to satisfy and secure justice to all;
the complicated system of bookkeeping
which it involves and the difficulty of main
tanning it in dull times when there are no
profits to divide. AL these diff culties have
been overcome by successful proft-sharing
experiments in Europe, but it is more doubt
full if they could be here.
