There are democrats who argue that
it would be manifestly disadvanta-
geous to the democratic party TO yet
control Of the house, in view OF the
fact that nothing could be accom-
pliShed on account of the senate being
so strongly republican. This class of
democrats argue that the chances of
electing a democratic president and a
democratic congress would be vastly
improved by the republicans having
things practically their own way for
the next two years.

Hanna On Labor and Capital.

iidiiiid ON 'LdDOI dnu Ndpltdis
In the course of a strong address on
Labor and Capital" made at Chau-
tauqua, Y, Saturday. Senator Hanna
urged the sharing Of profits and advo-
Gated a closer relation between the
working man and his employer.
Among other things Mr.. Hanna said:
''From what l know of human ma
ture. every man has an approachable
spot, and the best way to reach that
spot is by kindness. You can reach
men by coming near them and learn
ing their conditions. To say that
labor leaders are in the wrong is not
always true; to say that the majority
of them do not intend to do right is a
mistake. My theory is that if you
bring men together in way to make
them know each other, and if you APP
peal to the head and heart, you estab-
lish bond between the two factions
that cannot be broken. By establish
ing condition of absolute confidence
between employer and employe is the
only way that L know to settle the
dispute between capital and labor.
"We must give laborers a larger
share of the profits of industry which
they helped to create. We must for
get there is any difference between
the man who labols with his hands and
the man who laborS with his brain. 1t
is a fact that more than so per cent
of the strikes in this country have
been settled in favor of the laborerS.
We must concede then, that they are
right in the majority of cases, and
that capital is wrong.
Il believe that the labor leaders
are just as honest, just as earnest, and
just as competent to discuss and act
upon these great questions as are the
capitalists. Give them credit for this
and you will form trust which will
need no constitutional amendment; a
trust in each other. You cannot sep
arate the interests of capital and
labor. When you talk about organized
capital in this country forming mon
opolies you talk nonsense. There is
no monopoly in this country, except
such as are protected by patents,
There is great deal said from dem
agogic standpoint against organized
capital. In this twentieth century
the evolution from individualism to
organization is perfectly natural,
This evolution has led up to great
changes in the methods of production
and distribution. Inventions which
threatened the hand laborer have been
made in all lines of industry, but they
have been turned to the benefit in
stead of the destruction of such labor.
Invention is the natural sequence of
education.
''Organized capital is Just as nee
eSsary to Iget the proper condition of
industry as organized laoor. The
organization of capital has come to
stay just as organized labor has come
to stay, and for the same reason-it is
necessary. You cannot separate the
interests of capital and labor. If it
is good for one to be organized for any
purpose it is good for the other for
the same reasons. They are both
good and necessary as applied to our
conditions today and our development
for the future. The combination Of
capital has brought to cur industrial
Institutions greater economic results:
it has brought an increase in trade
and higher wages to the laborer.''

ROOSEVELT HASN'T THE POWER.
Under the Law It Is Doubtful If He
 Can Pardon Rathbone.

Washington, March 31.-The Post will say tomorrow:
 Senator Hanna proposes to 1ntro- duce a bill which will provide Tor the trial of Estes G. Rathbone, recently convicted in Cuba of frauds in connec- tion with the Cuban postal service De- fore a court in the United States un- der the American law and American methods. Speaking of the call Of Sen ator Hanna on the President and the formers request for a pardon TOT Rathbone the Post will say:
 Tt is quite likely, of course, that some consideration will be shown to Reeves. who became States evidence, and action in his case may be ex- pected as soon as General Wood re- turns to Cuba. The attitude ot the administration toward Rathbone and Nicely will, however, be firm. General Wood has the power of pardon, but this is not regarded as probable. It is said to be extremely douDt1ul whether the President has the right to set aside the judgment of the Cuban court, for Cuba is a foreign country, although under the nominal protection of the United States. The same req soning makes it extremely improbable that Congress would enact law trans ferring the accused ex-official to this country"

Joseph Jefferson.

Great interest Is being manifested in the coming Jefferson engagement in The Rivals on Thursday April 2. During MT. Jefferson's sixty years upon the stage he has delineated a vast number of char acters and in each and every one of them has proven himself the irreproachable master of strong and impressive express sion. Now that he is in the sunset of his days and beyond necessity for toll, he acts simply to comply with popular demand and to gratify the unsuitable craving for the stage which is the trait of all players. Under such condition as this, Mir Jeffer- son can be pardoned if he chooses for his role in this city that to which his per- sof1al taste has a leaning, and he has chosen the great character of Bob Acres.
 In this he has no equal. MT. Jefferson has habitually surrounded himself with competent people. He has always desired the best of support which Is to be had This season, as heretofore, he has ladies and gentlemen of professional repute to aid him in the memorial work of fine art.
