What is the lesson? Clearly this, that
those who dwell by these rivers and do
business in their vicinity should do all in
their power to make their position as Sc

like a thief in the night" Last spring, for
Instance, Des Moines was Hooded and

BETTER UNDERSTANDING NEEDED.

AIr. James r. Garfield, chief of the
bureau Of corporations Of the Depart
Inent OF Commerce, in an address a few
days ago urged that the need of the
day is an interchange Of information
between the capitalist and the l0borer,
that each might better understand the
other. He said II is impossible to think
OF industry without thinking of labor
and capital, and we are forced to say
that what is good for one is good for
the other, 50 closely are they connected.
I'VE cannot have conditions that are
good for capital and harmful to labor.
Every n has the right to enjoy life,
but he must not allow that right to
conflict with the right Of another to enjoy
life. We have a right to study, to wor-
ship as we please, but we must grant
others the same right. So in industry.
We have the right to labor, but we
must recognize the right of all others.
So with the corporations; they have the
right to invest, but they have the obli-
CATION to do so only so far as not to
iniure those engaged thereby"
Mr.. GARFIELD, who was addressing
w~orklngnlcn, said that labor unions
must not use tyrannical power, but
rather elevate men and elevate the
standard o. living. To do this they
must ret their qualifications high, MAX
ing these integrity, honesty, manhood.
Corporations are not to deal with their
neil In ignorance Of their condition, or
their standard OF living, of what a
man ran do, of what good work really
Is. They can get this information only
by getting together. Mr.. Garfield de-
clared that the man who says there is
nothing to arbitrate is not a good citl-
zen; he is not a good manager. mo
hunaa mind can comprehend all and no
human being is always right" In re-
gard to the bureau Of which he is chief,
Mr.. Garfield expressed the opinion that
1t will go a long ways toward bringing
out facts which will help labor and
capital to understand conditions better.
A most valuable and important service
will BE- done If 1t shall accomplish this,
for 1t is unqucstionable that a long
stride would be- taken toward the at
tainment OF industrial peace IL a way
were found TO enable capital and labor
to each understand better the condition
OF the other. The difficulty low is to
hiring them together in a true spirit Of
Cancellation and with an earnest ard
honest desire to be fair and just one to
the other. But we think there is n
strong tendency in this direction and It
should have NIL possible encouragement.

PERVRRTING THE TRUTH OF history.

PERVERTING n TRUTH or history.
The departure OF Governor Ezra P.
Savage for his new home In the Puget
Sound country prompts the Lincoln
Journal to emit the following charac-
t%eristic apology for the numbering par
don dispenser:
Now that he Is out Of the state and out
OF politics. the newspapers which have
so bitterly denounced him might properly
stop and consider whether their bilious
structures were entirely justified by the
facts in the case. Ezra Savage was In
clined to be merclful, and God knows there
Is too little Of that attribute In the makeup
OF men generally. 1t hurt him to sec
others suffer. and he would relieve their
misery II in his power. There was this
in his favor, which like charity covers a
multitude of defects, II ne said he would
do a thing, he did Il. He stood for an
honest and economical administration. and
his efforts in that direction were not in
vain. All in. all, he did we'll and deserved
much more credit than he has been given.
Under ordinary circumstances a man
who has been dishonorably drummed
out Of the political army may be al
lowed to pass into oblivion covered by
the mantle of charity. but in the case
of Ezra P. Savage the deliberate per-
version of the truth of history cannot
be permitted to remain u~ncontradicted
and unrebuked.
No man or newspaper warred upon
Ezra p. Savage because of disappointed
ambition or personal grievances, but
because his conduct was calculated to
leave an indelible blot on the escutcheon
Of the state. 1t is an indictment of the
moral sense Of the people of Nebraska
to hold Ezra p. Savage up as a model
Of integrity and a victim of malignant
persecution.
Everybody in Nebraska knows that
Ezra P. Savage entered the executive
Office a poor man. How are we to ex-
plain the sudden acquisition Of wealth
that has made him the owner of a Iucra-
tive business In Tacoma? Did he in,
herit from a rich uncle who died in
Australia or in South African Did he

lottery7

everybody in Nebraska remember his
mountebank performance as member Of
the State Board of Assessment, when
he proclaimed from the housetops that
the railroads were worth over $500,
100000 and should be assessed in pro-
portion to their market value2 How
did he come to change his mind about
the railroad assessment, and who
changed 1t for him1 How much rail
road fare has he paid chasing back and
forth across the continent since his
exit from the executive ofhcef
Everybody remembers the Savage
threats OF disclosure of the BARLEY Sc
crets. How did he act when the legis-
lature invited him to come home to
testify? Is it not monstrous for any
paper or editor in Nebraska to portray
this man as being more sinned against
than sinning-as being a victim Of a
merciful heart that went out in SYM
pathy TO the criminal IN his cell as we'll
as to the sick man in the hospital?
