audacious swindle was perpetrated in con,
ing our beautiful thOroughfare into burlesq~0

Fifth-ave. is irritating to u.s. no doubt. but it
was beneficial to q purse depleted in our serv-
ice, and it were base ingratitude to complain
of temporary smart, for Browns blister has
already nearly disappeared under the ordinary
wear and tear Of travel.
But Browns burdens are only partially drawn
from him by his extraordinary blister. lie Is
the only visible spoke of wheels that inter
lock to rob patient public. Behind Brown
are Tammany officials in City. County, and
State, sharing alike in his losses by his street
cleaning contract and in his concrete profits.
And unselfishly as he has served the greedy
ingrates, they have become frightened by his
publicity, and are about to put some other
dummy in his place. The means to be used
to accomplish this end are simple, but VIII
probably be effective. So long as Brown re-
fuses to retire, no streets are to be devoted
to concrete, and tho Legislature is not
to increase the compensation for cleaning
the streets. When Brown has given up the
ghost, thoroughfares in great number are to be
given up to plaster, eand the retrenchment
Legislature is to make good its promises by
cutting down Browns bill of $1,O0O,OO0 so that

heavy to be borne, but we are certain that the

Iowa has for weeks been the arena of an
animated contest for U. S. Senator in place Of
Hon. James w. Grimes, resigned. The struggle
was ended yesterday by the nomination, in a
meeting of the Republican members of the new
Legislature, of Mr.. j. B. HOWELL, Editor of
The Gate city, Keokuk, for the remnant Of
Mr.. Grmcs's term, (Which expires with tho
present Congress in March, 1917 and of Hon.
GEORGE G. WRIGHT of Des Moines, for the full
term of six years succeeding.
Judge Wright is one of the older citizens Of
the State, and was, if we mistake not the Wing
candidate for Representative in Congress from
the Western District so long ago as 1850. when
he received 69S5 votes to 7,437 for b. Hem
Dem.) and 3O1 for Shed Gree SoiD. We be-
leve he has since been chosen Justice Of the
Supreme Court by vote of the whole State.
He is destined to take a high rank in the
Senate.

RIERNAN'S LITTLE JOKER.

One Lawrence D. Herman, who represents
Sheriff O'Brien in the Assembly, has intro
duced a bill entitled An Act to provide
"an additional Police Court in the City
of New-York,n which provides nothing
of the kind, but does lay broad and
deep the foundations for unlimited rascal
ity. 1t creates the Controller Sheriff. ana
Police Justice of the Sixth Judicial District,
which is composed of the Eighteenth and
Twenty-frst Wards, Commissioners to select
and purchase therein the necessary ground, and
then to proceed to erect suitable buildings
to serve the said district as police courthouse
and prison. 1t authorizes these Commissioners
to employ call assistants necessary" makes no
limit to the amounts to be expended, but does
make sure of the cash for the job, by enjoin-
ing upon the Board of Supervisors to raise the
sum needed by the Commissioners by special
tax in 1870. This, ia substance, is what the
bill appa rently provides; in reality, 1t estab-
fishes another new Court-H House "ring," and
lets loose fresh gang of robbers upon
long suffering people
1t is Of course nothing to the purpose that
New York has no need whatever OF this new
Police urt-HOuse one of the wards named
being now fully accommodated by that in
Fifty-seventh-st., and the other by the one
at Jefferson Market The plundering purpose
that introduced the job under a false name
will push it until millions have been expended
in the erection of an inferior structure
When it is completed it must have
Judges to sit in il, and pair of profoundly
learned Democrats, who until then will prob
ably blush unseen in the dark recesses OF some
gin-holse, will be manufactured into police
justices at prime cost of $4,000 each per an
nun unless, meantime, the mighty jurists who
are sequestered in our shyster courts should
materially increast in value.
We shall note with some interest the names
of those Democrats who vote for the Herman little
Joker, which, being entitled an act to provide
Court. erects Courthouse instead. They
will all be heartily in favor of retrenchment,
and will only coddle to the little joker be-
cause Tweed & Co. having had an oppor-
tunity to rob us of millions with one Court
House, it is only fair to give O'Brien Co. a
chance with another

ADVANTAGES OF COOPERATION.

Every Commercial and Industrial interest
would heartily rejoice in the discovery of some
panacea for strikes. usury, high rents, low
wages, and dear food-in short. for all mono
poles which exist whether of Laber or Capt.
tai The happy day of the universal abolition
of usurers and middlemen," who make money
and marketing dear when the Capitalist and
Laborer shall go hand in hand, contented with
what they pay and receive, and when Landlords
and Tenants shall lie down together in mutual
satisfaction. is probably still great distance of
time removed but there can be no longer a
doubt that Cooperation has done much to has
ten, at least in the moro intelligent and liberal
communities tho reconciliation of many of
those differences which have brought Capital
and Labor into false and damaging antagOn
ism. After more than twenty-five years of
successful application, in various parts of Eu-
rope and America it would seem that the vir-
tues of Cooperation have been clearly estab-
lished: it is highly important. therefore, that
they should be Wanted and the public edu
Gated to appreciate them. THE TRIBUNE has
lately been actively engaged in this work, and
publishes this morning several more letters
of double series, giving an accurate, if
not an exhaustive, exposition of practical Co
operation abroad and at home. These letters
have embraced accounts of the cooperative
groceries Of England, France, and Massachu-
setts the cooperative banks of Germany and
Italy the cooperative farms of England and
France the cooperative kitchens of France and.
Switzerland the cooperative dwellings of
France, and the cooperative and industrial
partnerships among iron moldcrs, tanners, print
ers weaycrs, boatmcn, bakers, shoe makers,
butchers, comb makers, tailOrs, &C., of both
continents. The practical efforts of no branch
of trade have been unnOticed; their successes
have been fully told. but not exaggerated, and
few of the many practical manufacturers, me-
chancs and agriculturists, before whom the
letters have been laid, but have found therein
suggestive fats to reflect upon. Some OF
these are well worthy of recapitulatIon.
/. Co0peratio has abolished strikes. IL is
the united test ony of our correspondents,
abroad and at no c, that cooperative factories
have invariably rendered strikes unnecessary
in their immediate vicinage, simply by the
regulation Of wages which the system pro-
duces. Having themselves to pay, the cooper
atiyes are reasonable in their demands, and
the value of wages does not fluetuate In vain
have the wealthest and best conducted Trades
Unions in this country and Europe endeavorcd
to establish and regulate the value of labor by
strikes They have proved abortivc In nine

We print this morning the substance of 4
conversation between one of our correspondents
and the son of the Paraguayan President. We
believe it is high time for us to hear an au-
thentic statement from the Lopez side of this
questionable question, we mean, not of the
good or bad character of the Dictator. but of
the character OF the war which he is wagiDg and
the purposes of the Allies against whom he has
made such sturdy resistance. No doubt Pres
ident Lopez wants to push us into more ac-
tive interference between him and Brazil than
would suit our traditional policy but our SYM
patbies are worth something, and We had bet
ter not give them to Brazil until we know n
little moro of the rights of the case. The
policy of Dom Pedro has always been to absorb
the small republics on his frontier; he has

The House Of Representatives yesterday
adopted Mr.. Bingham's substitute for the Re-
construction Committees Virginia Admission
bill: Yeas 0s; Nays 95. This is a vote in ia
vor of liberalty and trustfulness in dealing
with a great State; and we trust it foreclOses
all effOrt--at least, all successful effort-to make
the conditions of restoration harsh or degrading.
Each side has done its utmost the vote is the
fullest taken in the House these eight years; and
the Republicans who voted Yea had to brave
the odium of voting with the Democrats and
against the greater number of their own party.
May we not, therefore, reasonably trust that
Virginia will now be allowed to come in on
the conditions prescribed by Congress last
Spring, and without further obstruction

Mr.. Bingham, passed the House by the de-

The curious anomaly of the law against con-
cealed weapons by which the carrying of loaded
revovers is permitted has again been brought
to the notice of the Legislature by the Grand
Jury. The presentment made yesterday called
for a change of the law in this respect; and
the Court promised that it should be forwarded
to the Governor The Objectionable feature
of the existing law has been upheld on
the ground that decent people should not
be prohibited from carrying firearms to pro-
tect themselves against the rufians who cannot
be prevented from carrying them. But If this
principle is to be applied at all, it ought to
have a general application; and decent people
ought to he authorized to carry dirks, bowie

1t was the paternal Weller who made the
discovery that there are in life Such many
"veels within veels," but it was reserved for
our brave and bcneficent Brown to turn the
discovery to practical account.l With Weller
the interlnking spokes were merely matters
for contemplative admiration, but with Brown
they are sources of Astounding profit. Exactly
how many wheels within wheels Brown pos
sesses we cannot say, but we do know of two
that fit together admirably for him and wofully
for us. Brown is Manager of the street
cleaning contract, with his Office at No. %
Chambers St, and is President of the Fisk Con-
crete Paving Company with its office at the
same place.
We do not object % this cohabitaton of these
cOgnate companies it is cOnvenient-or Brown,
and il is meet that brethren should dwell to-
gether in amty. Indeed, the circumstance has
a soothing effect, for it gives us assurance that
Brown is not to be utterly ruined in the public
service. He has announced that 100000 an
nually are necessary to cover the cost of clean
ing the streets and as he claims that he has
cleaned them heretofore for the meager pit
lance of Si9S,j00, he must naturally be terribly
out of pocket 1t is only just, therefore. that
he should be rccompcnsed for this self sacrifice
and Fifth-ave. is ample evidence that he has
been. Spreading thin poutice of common tar
and gravel over street at SO per square yard

sible void left in the pockets of Brown by his
efforts in neglecting the streets. Nor can we
roughly chide the unfortunate whose needs
were so pressing that he could not afford to
use in Ffth-ave. single ounce of the ingre-
dents of the genuine concrete pavement; and
we almost feel like extending him our sympa-

The weekly catalogue of honors Showered
upon the Hon. William NJ. Tweed is some
thing marvellous. During the present week,
this popular patriot has accepted four addi-
tional laborious positions. lie has been elected
n director of the Tenth National Bank of this
city. n director of the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh Railroad Company, trustee OF the
Mutual Base Ball Club, and Nice-President of
the State Poultry Association. This change OF
officials in the Poultry Association has already
occasoned, it is said, general feeling OF in
security among the feathered population of
the State, who retire at night to their roosts
with an uncomfortable sense of impending
danger.
