How They Cooperate i'm Englanna.


The system of cooperating in Eng
land is pretty generally all IN the same
plan. A machine shop established in
Millwall, Middlesex county, near Lon
don, employing over two thousand men,
may be taken as an example. The
most notable feature is the rotation in
Office, which is deemed necessary to
secure society against frauds by design
ing or dishonest officers. The names of
the members being arranged alphabet
cally on the books, the different officers
deemed necessary to carry on the bu-
siness are chosen from this list; no off,
Ger, however, holds his situation beyond
one day. If any member thinks him.
self not qualified to take any Office
when his turn comes, the next volun-
teer is chosen. Thus the whole of the
workmen in their turn 60 though every
official department., and Of course be.
come acquainted with the whole routine
transaction. No one has salary or
wages above another. Whatever the
department any one fills they are on
an equality. Experience has proved
it necessary to have no distinctions or
privilege of one over the other. In the
same spirit no one is allowed to have
more than one share in the establish
ment, and of course only ono vote in
their general meeting. This is to pre-
vent any assumption Of power or inau-
ence under the plea of larger vested
interest.

Grange Libraries.

We notice that many of the Grange
papers are agitating the question Of
Grange libraries. This is . move in
the right direction, and if carried out
successfully will render the Grange q
very useful educator. There is no
Grange SO poor that beginning cannot
be made at once. In the first place
the standard works on agriculture
should be secured. These wall give the
members an opportunity, at little cost,
to post themselves thoroughly in the
theory Of farming. After these works
are secured, as your pockets will allow,
procure the best works on science and
literature. Make your library some
thing to be proud of. Interest your
children in its pages, and you have. in
q little time, valuable educator. A
small monthly tax on each member will
soon accomplish all this. We hope the
library question will not be allowed tc
sleep until every Grange in lthis broad
land has full shelves Of standard books

NEW ORLEANS, Nsy. 1.-THE regula,

The Empire arrived about 1890 AM,
heavily loaded: with sugar, molasses

boat upon arrival, otherwise the loss Of
life would have been very. large. As il
is, fourteen passengers and many Of the
crew are believed to be, drowned.
Five bodies have been. recovered, in:

about II years Of age, and Mr.. Frisbie,
well known plantation engineer. Capt.
Jeanfreau lost four children, but saved
his wife and baby who, with him, were

Extensive Frauds In the Grain Trade

5 A system of swindling, which has
been going on for years with respect to
the grade of wheat known as Chicago
No. 2 has been exposed. For lorg
time the quality of that grade as re.
ceived at New York has not compared
favorably with the corresponding class
received from other points Of the West.
Accompanying the shipment of all
wheat from the West to that market
goes certificate from the inspectors
and weighers Of the points from which
the wheat has been shipped, vouching
for the quality Of the articles according
to their several standards. But these
certificates are not solely relied upon
East, and instead of allowing them to
take the place Of samples, the grain it.
self is sampled by the buyer in the
market, and paid for on its merits. t.'
No good reason could be found for
the disparity Of prices between the
Chicago Ne. 2 and the same grade from
other points, but suspicious were :ex-
cited thata swindle existed somewhere
in the handling Of wheat either At Chi
cago' or some places betev en- there and
New York. ,o.s ~
3! The President of the International
Elevators at New York, . corporation
whose duty it isto sample xll lots ar
irving there, wrote to the Chief Inspec-
tor 1T Chicago for samples as graded
here. OAreceiving them heE was sur
priscd to sand that the No. a IS m
;spected cut Of Chicago, was vastly su-
perion to the same grade as it arrived
at New York. Nothing has boen de-
livered from the Chicago warehouses as
No. 2, but that which is strictly up to
sample.e The mixture has been done at
someintesmediate point. probably at
Buffalo, but the exact persons who
have perpetrated rhe crime cannot be
designated. =
! It Is rot New York buyersawho suf-
fer from. this fraudulent practice of the
,middlemen. The loss falls on the West
ern farmer whose wheat is graded by q
severe test at Chicago, but it sold at q
price fixed upon the value Of the de-
preciated article as it arrives at New
York. Out Of how many millions
Western farmers have been choused by
this fraud we cannot pretend to calcn.

From the address of the Master Of the
National Grange, Master Adams of Iowa, de-
livered at the last National Grange meeting
at st. Louis, January, 1874:
"Article xii. also demands most serious
consideration to definitely decide what in
terpretation shall be put upon the word
political" l am gratifed that our members
are substantially unit in the opinion that
the Order should not in any sense become .
political party. But at the same time, there
are questions most Fundamentally affecting
our material interests .Uhich can only Be
reached through legislation.-It seems IN
PRRATIvR that such questions should B8 dis
cussed in tie Gro1ge. Shall it be said that
such questions were political in the meaning

members, and they wish to know whether
they will be denied the privilege Of can
vassing them on the ground of politics"
To this suggestion the National
Grange replied IS follows in their
NATIONAL PLATFORM.
"We emphatically and sincerely assert the
Oft repeated truth taught in our organic law,
that the Grange, National, State or Subor-
dinate, is not . political or party organiza-
ton. No Grange, is true to its Obligations,
can discuss political or religious questions,
nor call political conventions, nor nominate
candidates, nor even discuss their merits in
its meetings.
TRUE POLITICS, ALL TRCE srATEsMANs8IP, and
if properly carried out will tend to purify the
whole political atmosphere Of our country
For we seek the greatest good to the greatest
number.
We must always bear in mind that no one,
by becoming Patron of Husbandry, gives
up that inalienable right and duty which be-
longs to every American citizen, to take
proper interest in the politics Of his country"

Mail Service = Grain Crops - Fatal
Shooting at Phoenix.

From San Diego Unions Dispatches.
PRESCOTT, June 8. -Postmaster AL
len is in possession of letter from n
gentleman at Santa Fe, New Mexico,
which says that the mail service on
the Prescott and Albuquerque route
will commence on the first of July.
Should this news prove to be true, it
will be of incalculable benefit to this
section of the country. However,
there is no official confirmation as yet
received from Washington.
Tucson, June 9.-The wheat and
barley in the Santa Cruz Valley, in
front of Tucson, is ripe, and the fields
are full of busy reapers. In week or
two more, new grain will be coming
into market.
PHENIX, June 9.-This morning
about II o'clock, man named M. Col
Inns, an American, for some time
school teacher in this valley, was shot
by John Larsen. There was an old
quarrel between them, and on Larsens
return from work to-day words passed
drew six-shooter and fired, missing
Larsen. Larsen then took the pistol
away from Collins, who picked up a
carbine and followed Larsen out of the
house. Larsen, who was cut over the
head by blow from the pistol in the
beginning of the encounter, then fired
at Collins, hitting him twice. Collins
is all elderly man and has no family.
His wounds are at present supposed to
be fatal.

Progress OF the Railroad.
From the Bakersfield Courier, June

From the Bakersfield Courier, June g.
The distance by the line of the rail-
road survey from Delano to Kern
river is twenty-eight miles. Over this
distance, seventeen miles of the track
are now laid, and the grading is COM
pleted several miles further, leaving
only eleven miles of track to lay to
the northern bank of the stream. The
ground from the end of the track to
that point is dead level and the work
is attended with the least possible diff
ficulty. We learn it is the intention
to complete half mile of track daily
hereafter. Very little delay will be
experienced in crossing the river. A
temporary bridge will be put over it,
and the contractor expects to run con-
struction trains to the depot grounds
at this point by the middle of July.
The permanent bridge is to be very
fine affair, mostly constructed of iron.
1t is hard to realize that our isolated
position is so soon to cease, and that
we are about to be linked in close con-
nection with the great world of which
we have hitherto known so little.
