To-day we attend upon function,
annual in its character, yet very i'm
portant to society, and particularly
to the young men who are this day
graduated from Seton Hall College.
Today terminates the more or less ir-
responsible work; tomorrow begins
the responsible. whereby. will be test
ed your ability to take the proper
stand in life, successfully serve those
who retain or employ you, or, If your

1T is useless to conceal or deny
the fact that between master and
servant, capital and labor, there are
rights nboth sides, and, in justice,
these should be mutually assented to-
The difficulty, however, is not with
the principle, but with its applica-
ton. Who shall determine the ques-
ton? The general rule is that no
man should be a judge in his own
cause, lest natural selfshness sway
him unjustly in his own favor. AS
all differing views, however, cannot
be submitted to tribunals to decide,
men, in their business relations, must
endeavor TO think and act equitahy
and honestly, having due regard for
the rights of others.
Throughout the civilized world to-
day there are signs of discomfort and
turbulence. To the timid these signs
are terrifying; but the people need
have no fear: they merely indicate
that the great body of the people nave
outgrown existing conditions. They
are seeking something higher and
better. And while, at times, the
signs indicate an approach to an
archy, such state will not arise All
nature seeks an equilibrium. and, re-
CARELESS of time, attains it. Man, be-
ing of nature, also seeks this equ-
librium, and will press on to its at
tainment as steadily as inanimate OBJ
jects.
