CLEVELAND SPEAKS.
Tbe Ex-President and His Wife
warmly Greeted Mt Pittsburg.


pittsburg, Pa, Nov. THE exer-
ices celebrating Founders day at the
,rarnegie Institute. were held in Music
van this afternoon. Seldom. if ever,
bafore, has the occasion been so in
tsnesting and attended by so many peo-
nile The presence of ex-President
crover Cleveland as orator of the day,
and of Mrs. Cleveland as honor guest,
served to augment the desire of the
neople to participate in the exercises.
The entrance of Mrs. Cleveland into
one of the boxes was the occasion of
hearty and prolonged applause. Hard
" had this noise subsidized when an
other outburst greeted the appearance
nj the ex-President on the stage. The
vast audience received the distinguish
cd guest by rising and giving express
sion to it's pleasure by hand %clapping
and waving Of handkerchiefs.
Mr.. Cleveland's address was the first
on the programme. The appreciation
of the audience was expressed in close
attention to the speaker throughout,
and in hearty applause when he closed.
Mr.. Cleveland discussed THE obi
cations of National o-Partnership, I"
eulogizing the work of Carnegie In
stitute and the example of its founder,
and saying in part
while healthful and normal con-
ditions of national partnership forbid
envy and unfriendliness on the part of
the employed towards employing CAPT.
tal. so also such conditions most en-
phatically forbid the grinding selfish
ness, the greedy repacity and supercil-
hat oh which nffari Nhpr.
acterizes the treatment of the employ
ed by capital.
II shall not, however. enlarge upon
any Of the aspects which the so-called
labor problem presents in these latter
days, and I desire distinctly to dis
claim any intention to suggest what
may be the cause or causes of the dis
location which unfortunately so fire.
quently occurs in the relationship of
labor to capital. Whether it results
from unreasonable and irritating de-
mands on the part of labor or whether
our workngmen listen too closely to
malign counsels or whether again the
trouble arises from the greed and av-
arice of capital and Of its immense
aggregations, / do not pretend to say.
Perhaps all these have a share in Gre
ating the difficulty. 1t is sufficient for
my present purpose to point out that
tnere Is anldSOHlSIH III InlS Ieidlloil-
ship where there should be generous
unity of purpose. In other words, the
situation itself proves that somewhere
there are members of our partnership
in American citizenship who act in
violation of partnership duty, and
am sure that / venture nothing in
making the assertion that the only
remedy for the situation must
he found in return
to the observances of the law of Amer
lean cooperation. This return will not
be accomplished by nursing real or
imaginary injuries on the part of labor,
nor by lordly or selfish arrogance on
the part of capital A beginning must
be made by conspicuous examples Of
a recognition of the duty and obliga-
lions which are the conditions upon
which the full enjoyment of our part
nership advantages depend. These ex-
amples should induce conservative and
tolerant counsels; they should be prom
inently recognized and appreciated and
constantly pressed upon the view of all
who may be remiss in their obligations
to American co-operation-whate
