A %sRioHreNING PROSPECT.

While there are still some serious
labor controversies throughout the
country awaiting settlement, the tend
ency toward an adjustment of these
differences is steadily improving and
the prospect is Frightening for IA gen
eral adjustment that will contribute
o materially to the attainment of
what all conservative men, both in the
ranks of labor and of capital, most
earnestly hope for, the preservation of
Industrial peace. 1t is a fact which no
one who has kept careful watch Of the
progress of recent labor difficulties can
have failed to see, that a more rational
and conservative view of the relations
between labor and capital is being man
ifested on both sides and that there is a
growing disposition on the part of each
to consider with greater d"eliberation
and in n less unprecedented way the real
rights and interests Of the other.
The labor troubles Of the past and
present year, while begun under condi-
lions that excited more or less passion
and bitterness, have really induced a
most serious contemplation and study
of the great problem involved which is
leading to a more common sense view
of the question than has ever before
been experienced in this country, or
perhaps in any other. Never before
have the relations between capital and
labor beer so earnestly and intelligently
considered and discussed as during the
past year. Never before have the
principles underlying these great forces
been more thoroughly inquired into
than within the very recent period
since the anthracite coal strike made a
demand for the i~nterposition of the
president of the United States in the in
terest of the general public. How
marked has been the influence of the
judgment rendered by the Anthracite
Strike commission upon public senti-
ment and upon organized capital and
labor Is obvious to everybody who has
given intelligent attention TO the mat
ter. The sound and indisputable princi-
pies e%nunciated by the commission,
while having no legal force, have yet
been recognized by courts as worthy Of
recognition and have been acknowl-
edged by both labor and capital as
founded upon wise, just and equitable
principles. 1t is true that there has not
been shown on all hands a disposition
TO ncquiesce in the views and opinions
Of the commission, but the tendency in
this direction is so manifest as TO JUS
tify the belief that in the not remote
future the general sentiment will ac-
eept unquestioningly the principles laid
down by that body in defining the true
relations between capital and labor and
the duties and obligations Of zach I'm
respect to the public.
We confidently believe that progress,
substantial and sure, is being made to-
ward that great goal which ought to he
first I'm the aim Of the American people,
permanent industrial peace, and we can
not doubt that it's ultimate attainment
is as certain as anything dependent
upon human agency. Let no one
despair of n final and satisfactory de
termination In this country of the true
relations between capital and labor.

THE FLAG.

(Flag Day. June IA
When Freedom from her mountain height.
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe OF night.
And set the stars of glory therel
She mingled will its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of he skies,
And striped its pure celestial white,
Then, from mis- mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle-bearer down
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol OF her chosen land!
Majestic monarch Of the cloud!
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumping loud,
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors Of the storm.
Child Of the sun! TO thee It's given
To guard the banner OF the free,
To hover In the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle-stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud OF war,
The harbingers of victory
Flag of the bravel thy folds thall ny,
The sign of hope and triumph nigh!
When speaks the signal'trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere yet the life-blood, warn and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn,
And, as his springing steps advance.
Catch war and vengeance from the glance
And when the cannon-mouthiugs loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnight's pail,
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger OF death.
Flag OF the seas! on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's Keeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sen,
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy %splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag OF the free hearts hope and home,
BY angel hands TO valor givenl
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome.
And all thy hues were born In heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before
US!
With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedoms banne strea ming DER US!

One thing that strikes us rather forci-
bly, in connection with the rival power
canals is that Omaha will need no mid
dleman o. middle corporation to supply
electric lights for street illumination.
There certainly would be no valid reason
why Omaha should buy its light from
an electric lighting company whenever
IL car procure its supply OF electricity
directly from a power canal and thus
effect n saving Of the profits which the
middleman expects to get from ladling
out electric light second hand.

Columbia university has recently come
into possession of the most complete
collection of anarchistic books, Journals,
newspapers, pamphlets, posters, manu-
scripts, photographs, songs, ETC., origi-
nally published in all parts OF the world
and in something like fifteen different
languages. 1t is to be hoped that none
of the students who may be set to work
to dissect this accumulation may be-
come inoculated with the virus, as the
supply of spontaneous anarchists seems
quite equal to the demand without any
additional made-to-order recruits. The
best thing for the university library to
do is to quarantine the new collection
and permit no one within the red-light
area who is not vaccination-proof against
the anarchy disease.
