A Condition of Peace.

For the first time within many
months there is not within Indiana any
kind of a strike among workingmen,
according to the Labor Commissioners
information, said the Indianapolis
News recently. The last strike was
that of employees of the Central Chair
Company of indianapolis, which was
settled to-day through the State Labor
Commission. About twelve men in the
factory demanded a change In the
method of paying what are known as
the sand" boys, or helpers, and the
company granted concessions. Here
after the company, instead of the men
will pay the boys, and the chanH
means an increase of about 12Ea pei
cent in the 10y of the workmen, who
were asking for an increase OF 70 pei
cent. THE commission keeps close
watch on the affairs of labor in all
parts of the state" said Labor Commits
sioner L. p. Mccormack. 1--WE have
correspondents in scores of cities and
towns. and If there is strike of even
small magnitude anywhere, l do not
know where it is. There is not an idle
man within the state who is idle fol
the want of something to do. The peo'
pie everywhere are busy. Hundreds
of factories are working overtime and
many of them can not keep up with
the business they have on hand. Hun
dreds of business men have been divid-
ing their good times with the men
who work for them. and have volun'
tarily increased the pay of their help
doubt if there are as many contented'
prosperous workmen in any state In
the Union as we have in our own

A Bashful Princess.

Princess Louise of Wales was in
love with the Duke Of Fife from the
time she was very young girl, but il
was long ere the royal parents could
bring themselves to give their con-
sent to the marriage. However, the
little princess dropped and became sc
pale and wan that in the end her
father and mother could not refrain
from doing what they could to bring
back the color to her cheeks and the
sparkle to her eye. A story has al
ways been told. and seems to be true
that Just before her marriage this
shyest Of all shy princesses blushing-
ly took her fancee into her boudoir
where, opening a well-locked cabinet
she showed him quite a large collec-
ton of pretty articles made or pur-
chased by her as Christmas or birth
hay gifts, but which, year after year
she had been too bashful to present
to him.

Labor and Capital.

Capital draws its only value from
labor; laboI draws its reward, It's sus-
tenance, from capital. The wealth OF
a nation lies precisely in It's power to
produce, arr just as the industrial
activities increase or diminish the ma
ton is prosperous or unprosperous.
We must hear the song of the shut
tie and the loom. the sound Of the ak
and the hammer. the whir OF the
wheels, the rattle of grain in the hop
per, the click of the reaper, and every
whA;e, in field or forest, and mill and
mine the ear must catch the melodies
of the industrial chorus. What would
it profit Ylpital to hush these sounds!
We will rub the rust from the plow-
share. We will kindle the fire in the
fulNace. We will dig in the earth
and pour the ore into the vat. But
the dollars-shall they remain idle In
the vaults? Shall they congest in the
centers while the arteries dwindie
away? Capital may combine II II
pleases-no objection can be urged to
combination of capital for legitl-
mate purposes. But there Is limit
beyond which capital dare not go In
the process of concentration. Labor's
opportunities must not be restricted
labor's rights must be respected and
capital must return a fair equivalent
Wages must not be forced down by
unholy combinations. This Is the real
issue in America. How shall 1t DC
met? Shall there be segregation OF
the particles in the economic unity
Shall the lines of divergence broaden
or shall organized capital and organ
lied labor weed out the heterogenie'
ties and blend and build upon COM

C. B. NJ in Philadelphia Times: To
any one acquainted with the condition
of affairs in the coal and iron regions
of Pennsylvania, where foreigners are
numerous, the question of restricting
immigration assumes great Importance.
Undoubtedly no state in the union has
suffered more from the inroId of an
undesirable class of Europeans than
has this one, and in the disgust which
close acquaintance with these condi-
lions causes one is apt to feel that no
remedy except total restriction of i'm
migration for a few years at least is
worthy of consideration. And those
who hold this opinion may rightly
urge a great deal in support of it. But
1t is, after all, but narrow view OF
the subject. Laborers are needed, not
alone to develop the sparsely settled
portions of our country, but to do the
work-the hewing of wood and draw
ing of water-in thickly populated
cmtees, which the increase in mental
development and manual dexterity
renders the native-born American less
and less inclined to perform. But that
some means should be sought of les
SEEMING the evils attendant upon our
present system there can be no doubt.
Not that more legislative enactments
against the would-be immigrant are
probably needed. Our present laws
seem to be ample and the new ones
which have been proposed in the way
of an educational test and so forth are
of doubtful utility. An annual appro-
priation sufficient to cover the expense
q thoroughly enforcing our present
regulations is, however, essential. I'M
migrants at our ports of entry should
be thoroughly examined and our Cana
dian border closely guarded to prevent
any undesirable influx from that quar-
ter. In another direction a great deal,
however, might be accomplished by
new legislation. At present it is far
too easy for the newcomer to acquire
the rights of citizenship. The present
term of residence required might prof
itably be doubled, and the inquiries re-
garding the apple" nt's capability for
the voting privilege be made more
stringent. BY thus keeping the gov
eminent of our towns and cities more
In the hands of the native-born por-
ton of our population, social condi-
lions might be greatly bettered. To
more effectually protect alike the alien
anS the treasury of the United States
from the consequences of mob out
byae the federal courts should be
given Jurisdiction in the prosecutions
for such offences, and damages granted
to any foreign power on account of in
JUICES inflicted upon any of its sub
jects should be assessed against the
county in which such offences oc-

that such q step would mean ruin to
his country, and he feels deeply hurt
that Great Britain, whose ally he has
been for 25 years, should apparently
desert him in his hour of need. The

through which visitors to the Ameer
are guided by circuitous ways until
they reach the throne-room and the
presence of his majesty. The AmeeI
has seven wives, who are kept in strict
seclusion, as becomes a true Moham-
medan. The personal habits of the
Ameer are said to be exceedingly sim
pie. He eats only two meals a day,
and then sparingly, and drinks moth
ing stronger than water. He is shrewd
enough to see and appreciate the ad-
vantages of modern inventions, and
has caused the introduction into At
ghanistan of railways, electric lights,
telephones, steam sawmills, and many
other necessities of civilization. He
has an English dentist in his court and
an English woman physician. He pro-
fesses to be a great friend Of England,
and 1t is doubtless to his interest to be
so. When Russia makes her long
threatened advance down from Merv to
Kandahar the Ameer will need all the
help England can give to keep him
from being wiped off the face Of the
earth.

355 in gold and silver alone. These
figures are given by the statistician OF
the mint. The increase over the
precious metal product Of 1898 was
S3,1S7,0SS. Until last year most of the
gold and silver obtained In Alaska
came from the quartz mines near
Juneau and most of the vast increase
of last year came from the new gold
fields of Cape Nome. 1t amounted to
about s2,40O,OO0. From present indi-
cations the next three months will
witness an increase of $4,000 in the
mining population Of the territory
Most of them will go to the rich
auriferous placers of Cape Nome, and
miners of long experience say that the
gold output of the present year from
Alaska will equal that of California
and likely that Of the Klondike during
1899. But gold and silver are not the
only minerals. The enormous deposits
of copper and coal which Alaska con-
tains will receive attention from the
army of adventures entering the ter
ritory this spring and coming summer
and it will not be at all surprising If
they add more to the mineral output
of the territory than the gold quartz
veins and placer deposits. York
