Labor and Capital.

'"Things are what they use" and no
amount OF cheap rhetoric can make
them otherwise. The Interests OF labor
and capital are identical" only to the
sxtent that each side wants to get for
itself from the other as much profit as
all the circumstances attending and af-
fecting the deal between them win al
low. In all other respects these Inter-
ests differ as widely as do their re-
spective functions in the economic and
Industrial divisions of society. Labor

attained each must realize It's exact re-

Immediately after hearing Of the murder

neither witness testified to any damag-

ed any ground for the jealousy of the

1t was established that The Bfoliter
family was always ready to lend money
to Han, but that he never applied for
loan.
The incident OF the suicide Of the pris-
oner's wife on June has been cleared
up. 1t appears that she was convinced
that the state had got together evidence
enough to snow that Hau was guilty,
and further she could not bear the idea
Of his trial and OF the public discussion
OF family affairs and the story Of her
own passion for Hau.

Railroad Officials Declare Rates Must
Be Advanced.
New York, Feb. S.-Railroad Off
ciais who make their headquarters
here seem generally disposed to echo
the remark last Monday of President
James j. Hill of the Great Northern
that the railroads of the country will
find themselves obliged before long
ducing them. The consensus Of opin-
ion of these officials is that increase
In cost of labor and material is so far
outstripping the rate Of increase in
net earnings that only moderate re-
versal Of business activity will bring
the railroad companies face to face
with pretty difficult problem as to
rates, especially in view of the pop
ular sentiment toward railroads now
prevailing. II =: ~: 49, -, --.~z
In an interview on the question Ros-
we'll Miller, chairman Of the board Of
directors Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul road, said that instead
Of being able to think of raising rates
the roads are actually confronted by
movement for reduction of rates.
This movement, Mr.. Miller said, they
must, of course, oppose, owing to the
conditions under which they are op-
Grating. -
W. G. Brown, senior vice president
Of the New York Central, agreed with
Mr.. Miller as regards the needs Of
an increase. 1T will have to come"

Constantinople, Feb. 8.--Wearied
with the delays so characteristic Of
Turkish officialdom the American am.
bassador, Mr.. Leishman, has suddenly
raised into prominence the question
of the recognition of the American
schools by communicating directly
with the sultan, urging the necessity
of prompt settlement of the ques-

have been stirred into unwt' uted activ-
ity and the departments concerned,
acting, it is understood, under orders
from the sultan, have entered into ne
EQUATIONS with the embassy. The en-
bassy Is pressing matters hard with
the hope of final adjustment and the
frequent exchange of written commu-
nlcations as we'll as visits between
officials of the porte and the embassy
are expected soon to lead to satisfac-

ago, but the obstructiveness and dila-
toriness both at the palace and on the
