Lord Stanley replied that Mexico

for the purchase of Alaska. Con-
Cured In.
Buckalew resumed his argument.
Referring again to the power conferred
on conventions he asked which. in
case Of conflict between them and
military commanders, was to be obey
ed by the people? The only semblanee
of fair election in Arkansas had
been the result of the interference of
the military authorities, who over
ruled a passionate and ill-sdvised
ordinance Of the convention prohib-
iting a large number of people from
voting on the new constitution.
Conkling asked BuekaleW to yield
to a motion for executive session, say
ing it was evidently impossible to pass
this bill now. But at this point
Fowler rose to personal eXplana-
ton. He would not now occupy the
time, but that the whole power Of the
Government had been put in the
hands of one bad man to be used
against him.
Fowler was proceeding to read a
prepared address, when at 1920 Mr..
Conkling and others approached him,
and after a moments conference, Mr..
ConkIing asked the Senator to yield to
a motion to go into executive session,
saying that hardly time remained to
transact the necessary business, and
the Senator could print his remarks.
Fowler assented, and the Senate
went into executive session. Il
The doors were opened at II clock,
when the President pro tenn. an
nounced that in accordance with the
concurrent resolutions of both Houses
of Congress, the Senate would now
take a recess until the third Monday
of September next.

Cooperative Labor.

The Chicago Evening Post is pressing
upon the attention ofthe people the sub
ject of cooperative labor in domestic mat
tiers. 1t is forcibly argued that dozen
or twenty families in neighborhood by
joining together and furnishing an estab-
lishment with proper conveniences, might
secure great economies in the now expen-
siye domestic drudgery of washing and
ironing. 1t is confidently predicted, the
day will come, when it will be just as ab-
surd for family to do its own washing
and plain ironing, as it would now be for
each family to grind its own grist in q
coffee mill, instead of taking it to neigh
boring grist mill Two or three person
with proper machinery and necessary APP
pliance, could accomplish more labor of
this sort, than twenty-five persons by the
methods now employed. The saving of
fuel on washing days would be great
economy, and the unpleasant accompani-
ments obViated
Also let ten or dozen families build q
complete kitchen establishment, and have
their meals brought at given hours, and
the constant trouble in securing good SER
want girls, and the rayenous demand of
Kitchen stoves for wood would no longer
be sources of perplexity. Such are some
of the economies and conveniences which
it is contended would be secured by CO
operative labor

Barbariam in Delaware.

The whipping post is still in vogue as
punishment for petty crimes in the State
of Delaware. Seven persons were recent
" convicted of small otfenses at New Cas-
tie. Delaware, and publicly whipped by
order of the magistrate This is all dis
gustingly barbarous in a civilized country.
With singular stupidity some OF the Dem
ocratic newspapers, are calling attention
to this relic ola past age, and charging II
to New England education and radicalisD
Poor souls, they do not appear to br.ow
that Delaware is not a New England State
and that it never has been, and is not nos
aRepublican State, or radical in any ac
ceptation of the word. Delaware tits true
did not secede in the late rebellion, but
it was no better than rebel State. It's
State government opposed every measure
of the war, and clearly indicated Its sym
pathy with the rebel cause. Delaware il
as furiously Democratic as Kentucky The
Democratic journals are awkwardlyunfor
tunute in the attempt, to have it appear
that New England radicalism is response
BILE for the existence Of the whipping post
in Delaware. So long as the copperhead
Democracy continue to control the State
so long will the barbarism of whipping
probably remain. Had Delaware been al
Republican as Vermont or any other Nov
England State, the whipping post would
have baen abolished more than genera
ton ago. Let Democracy be crushed GU
in Delaware, and then will come better
civilization.

ELECTION OF PATRON SANTA cor
respondent of the N. Y Tribune says that
an election Of the most extraordinary kind
has been held in Valparaiso. The eccle-
siastical authorities of the city had called
together the people for the purpose of
choosing out of the list of saints one as
patron saint and protector for the city.
The election was exciting in the extreme
many hundred saints having been nomin-
ated; but Jesus Christ obtained brilliant
majority, having polIsd 1896, "the most
holy Virgin" following with 4,132; sun
dry other saints putting in a poor show,
among the whole of 384. The election
was closed on Sept 6th, the result being
declared on Sunday, when sermon was
preached by Senior Cassanavo, and a sol
emn TS Deuna sung to celebrate the Joy
full event.
