EXTENT OF Co-OPERATIoN.-The
extent and success of cooperation in
Great Britain is truly surprising, and
indicates surely that it is a wise and
bencficent system for the amcliora-
ton of the condition of labor. Sta
tistics compiled from authentic
sources relative to the moneyed pow
er of the laboring population of
Great Britain, show that there are
1910 cooperative societies carrying
on the business of grocers or provi-
sion sellers, with an aggregate capt.
tai of $20.000,O00, and of these
about two-thirds have been success
full in financial pointo Of view. The
building and freehold land socie-
ties" represent capital of $70,000,-
600, about $50, 900, 600 of which are
invested in dwellings for members.
The cooperative associations, trade
societies. friendly and benevolent
societies, building associations and
savings banks, all combined, repre-
sent capital of nearly 5000, 900. 900.

The EoRTHCoAINa REPORT or TIE
PoSTArAsTER- CaENERAIa 1t is stated
that among the important facts which
will be shown by the forthcoming re-
port OF the Postmaster General will
be tabular statement showing in
what States and Territories the re-
ceipts from postages fall far short of
the expenses nf transporting the
mails. All the Southern States are
included but Kentucky and Tennes-
see, and such Western States as Kan.
sas, Nebraska, Nevada and Califor-
MIA. In these States and Territories
the expense of transportation alone
exceeds the receipts for postages by
the sum OF 23, 1G0,3 ,337. Sin &c March,
1865, there has been an increase Of
1,2G7 routes, involving 4S. 744 miles
additional service. On the 3Oth of
June, 1865, the number of lineal
miles of service wcrc 142, $40; on the
30th of Juno 1868, it was ZIG. .92S.
On the 3Oth of June, 1865, tho ac-
tuai transportation was 57,993, 694
miles. On the 30th of June, 1868, it
was 81, 224. 325 miles. If anybody
wantsan explanation of the deficiency
III the revenue of the department, or
for tho past and current fiscal year,
they will find it in these figures. Yet
every mile and every dollar has been
called for by the actual wants Of the
people and business Of the country,
and not a dollar or mile could now
be dispensed with without great
outcry.

Baron Jamag Rothaehild. az

Baron James Rothschild, the
youngest and only survivor Of Msyer
Anselm Rothaciiild, the founder of
the 'houae.a 8 died on Sunday last, in
Paris. he was the head of the
French branch ofthis great European
Ibanking house of this family, and
with him the second generation has
passed away.
. The history of the Rothschild fami-
ly is far from uninteresting. It's
great head was Mayer Anselm, who
lived at Frankfort Or -the-Main.
There were five sons, who were taken
into the s'House of Rothschild" by
the founder as fast as they became of
age. These were Anselm, Solomon,
Nathan Mayer, Charles and james.
Anselm was his fathers partner and
successor at Frankfort; the second
son, at first travelling partner. aud
was eventually established at Vienna.
Nathan Mayer settled In London in
179S, and became the most promi-
nent, as he was generally deemed the
ablest, tinancier of the family; Charles
settled aG Naples in 1921; and James,
after being awhile with his brother
in Vienna, established himself in
Paris. Thus, when the father,
Mayer Anselm, died, his sons had in
creased the influence of the house,
and stood at the head of five i'm
mense establishments, united in a
copartnership the most wealthy and
extensive the world had ever seen.
James was born in Frankfort on
the 9Th of May, 1892, and took up
his residence in Paris, in 1912. A
few years later he was appointed
Consul General for Austria in France.
During the early years of his life in
the French empire he was interested
In railroad affairs to q great extent,
and was noted for the boldness of his
speculations. After the great famine
of 1847 he was charged with having
caused much Of the suffering of that
time by his transactions, and became
very unpopular with the people, so
that in 194S, when the revolution
broke out, q portion Of his property,
the Castle of Suresnes, was sacked
by the populace. He was married,
late in life, to his niece, the daugh-
ter of his brother Solomon. He
founded several Jewish charitable in
stitutions during his life, and gave
large sums of money at various times
to other like institutions. In Paris,
he was known, on account of his
frequent dealings with crowned heads,
as "Lepreteus' des rois," "The Rings
money lender"
His title of Ro.on was received
from Anet4ia. The Austrian Empe-
,r conferred on each of the brothers
q patent of nobility, with the title of
Baron of the Empire, on account of
the promptness and courtesy with
which they responded to Metternich's s
application for loan in 1913.

NATIONAL DEBTS. The national
debt of Great Britain is said to have
reached its highest amount at the
end of the Crimean war. 1t is stated
that in December, 1856, including
the capital of the terminable annui-
ties in which about 2 per cent. of it
was funded, but not including Il
floating debt of about EOS, 600, 600,
it was 98O7, 9S1, 783, or $3,926. 791, :
4S9; and the annual charge for in
terest was EOS, 656, ,593, or $139,271,- :
O42. But in December, 1866, the
debt had been reduced to :e9O3, 842,-
$40, or So, 906, 676, 1872, and the charge
for interest for the following year was
but EGG. .OS1, IT'S, or $126, 757, Al.
These figures, however, it is added,
do not show the most favorable as
pect of the case, for if the floating
debt Mt the end of the Crimean war
be included, the total Indebtedness
of Great Britain had been reduced
934, 691. .313 in the eleven years
ending March 81, 1868, or at tho
rate of SO, 1853, 756, or SIS, ,327, 254,
per annum, rate which. compound
ing the interest, would liquidate the
whole in much less than a century.
England alone, of nll the European
nations, is paying off what she owes
slowly, though most of them resorted
to the expedient of national debt
long before she adopted it, Q693.
1t is noted by an English historian
that at every stage in the growth of
that debt, the nation has set up the
same cry Of anguish and despair, and
wise men asserted that bankruptcy
and ruin were at hand. The debt
began with million pounds, but by
the time of the peace of Utrecht it
had risen to fifty millions, which, it
was declared by some of the ablest
men in Great Britain, would permak
nently cripple the country. The war
OF tho Austrian succession brought
the deb. to eighty millions, which,
under William Pitts administration
rose to hundred and forty millions.
AT this point, even such u profound
political economist as David Hume
declared that national ruin had been
reached, and that it would have been
better to have been conquered by
Austria or Prussia than to be saddled
with the interest of such q debt
Adam Smith, though not going 90
fur, said that the limit had been
reached and that n small increase
might be fatal.
The minister at the head of the
Government was convinced that the
nation would sink under the load un.s
less the American colonies were made
to bear O portion OF the burden, and
it was the attempt to make them do
this which led to the war Of the,
American revolution, which added
another hundred million to the na-
tlonal debt. The succeeding wars,
which rose from the French royolu-
