A Large Sum fer School Purposes
William II. Ruffner, ESQ.,, Superintendent of
Public Instruction for the State of Virginia,
says that he will, on or about the 1st of April,
proceed to divide 500, 900 among the various
counties of the Commonwealth for school pur-
poses. This looks as if our school system was
to be pushed forward with the vigor its i'm
portance merits. Mr.. Ruffner is seriously en-
barrassed in his operations for want of sufli-
cient clerical force. The House passed the bill
giving him an additional clerk without dis
senting voice, but the mater hung fire in the
Senate, and after striking out the clause allow
ing him second clerk, the subject was again
referred to committee, as some doubt ex
listed as to the bill being constitutional.

UNIVERSAL C0-0PERATIONs
rFrom O New York paper. I

The regular weekly meeting of the Cosmc-
politan Conference was held yestefd day at the
new hall, corner of Blocker street and the
Bowery. The attendance was large. The
chairman, on calling the meeting to order, re-
marked that the subject OF the opening of the
address was one of the peculiar launching
points of radical reform which the American
Lyceum was ushering into debate. He then
introduced the speaker, DR.. Lewis, who pro-
ceeded TO read an essay on universal co-opera-
| ton, his plan being to so obtain the CO opera
| ton of the people, as to be able to commission
| government to institute stores, similar to CO.
| Operative stores, in the different wards of the
city-to supply these stores with unadulterated
| provisions such as the people want, for food,
fuel and clothing, and to sell them to the peo-
| pie at cost, or at an advance Of one per cent
| over cost.
| Mr.. Lewis read long list of the different
articles which are habitually adulterated by
speculators, and showed up an astonishing cat.
| eeory of petty knaveries which are practiced
upon the wifully ignorant people, who seem
| to have no organization against 1t, and are
thus the victims of their own duplicity. Thou
sands of tons of white clay obtained from
| Florida were annually mixed with our flour !;
iron filings entered into the composition OF
| various staples of the table, teas, ground cof-
| fees and condiments were so adulterated as to
be poisonous and soaps OF all kinds contained
large quantities of foreign ingredients. The
| government furnlSneu pure dEttcles, testeu auu
/ sworn to by investigating officers. Why,
asked DR.. Lewis, cannot the government fur
nish the same protection against peculation
and swindle of the intermediary hucksters OF
our city to the people at large?
The institution of stores Of articles for ordi.
nary consumption would not be impossible. II
would decidedly benefit the poorer classes as
we'll as a very large share of the more inde
| pendent people, who are at present equally
subject, not only to these fraudulent practices
but also equally victimized by the enormous
prices exacted. In many cases articles of the
purest quality, such as vinegar, were bough
by government for ne-fourth that which
the competitive dealers were retailing then
in vitiated state. The cooperation of the
people was necessary as selfsprotection
agains. these wrongs.
AT the close of the address lively discus
sion entertained the audience and prolonged
the meeting two hours, participated in BY
Messrs. West, Brunner, Maddox, Hume, W
B. Scott, Roosevelt, Moran, and others. Th'
conference then adjourned.

MOVEMENT IN ENGLAND.
Z IFrom the New York Standard.

The spread or the CO operative LnoVeDont III
England seems to be very rapid. Within COM
paritively few years large and powerful organ.
izations have sprung up in almost every large
town, city and village, which have almost rev,
olutionized the mode of dealing. A great and
important change has also occurred in the
manner in which these societies themselves are
supplied. Up to few years ago the supply OF
these societies were in the hands OF the mer-
chants, who, as rule, supplied the trade.
The majority of these stores are now members
of the North of England Cooperative Society,
whose headquarters are in Manchester, with
salesme, and buyers in Limerick, Tipperary,
and other places. The extent to which
the society's operations are carried on
NAV be inferred from the fact that 200 socie-
ties, representing SO $3.50 individuals are men,
| bers, and own share capital Of ELS, ,0l5, after
the rate of IS. per share. The object of the
organization is to supply goods to all societies
| which become shareholders, the profits at the
| end of the quarter being divided on the pur-
chases. The sales during the past twelve
months amounted to f677 ,737, being an in
crease of fl7O,5ls, or 81 per cent, over the
preceding year. The butter sales for the
twelve months reached 50,742 firkins, while
| the business done in tea and coffee during the
last quarter amounted to fl4,875. The net
profit realized during the quarter upon the
| business done was fl, 935 l5s. I'd. Among the
| largest shareholders are the Rochdale Society,
| who own 6, 1928 shares; Halifax, 6,000 shares
| Manchester Equitable, 3,298 shares; Manches
ter Industrial, 1900; Bolton, 2,833; and
| Heckmondwike, Accrington and Over Darwen
| 1000 shares each. So much for the cooper.
| ative, or business socialistic mode OF bushes;
| in England-or the doing without masters
and the division Of profits in lieu Of wages.

Captain George W. Alexander. The
New York Tribune has paragraph to the
effect that
"Captain George w. Alexander, the rebel COM
mandaHt of Castle Thunder Richmond, Virginia,
and afterward OF the military prison in Salisbury,
North Carolina, was much afraid of the conse-
quences of his brutality, at the close of the war;
that he fled the country. 1t Is now stated that he
recently died in poverty in England, in wretched
quarter of Liverpool"
1t is within the personal knowledge of the
reporter of the JOURNAL, that the only foreign
country which gave Alexander shelter was st.
Louis, Missouri, where he has been ever since
the war, engaged in q prosperous business,
making money. He has also long been super
intendent of the Bellefontaine railway there,
and is also author of several inventions for

UNIVERSAL COOPERATION.

We commend to every working man the
serious study of the great questions now
agitating the world, involving fair days
wages for fair days work, and chance
to DO the work. Among these, co-opera-
ton stands at the head. 1t is the one
common platform where capital and labor
may fraternize. High above party politics
it comes to the business and bosoms oi
men. 1t seeks to multiply the resources Of
the mass of men to whom life is struggle
for bread. 1t seeks to tenefit all, with
harm to no legitimate interest. Let the
workingmen of Virginia sec what their
brethren are doing elsewhere, to tighten toll
and increase its privileges and comforts
and adopt some plan to better their owr
condition.
