This order which is rapidly developing in this

for its corner stone, and the saving of money in
the pockets Of its members for its object. 1t is

man and woman. There is but little ritualistic

crecy enough to ensure the recognition of one

benefit From five to twenty five per cent. is saved
and made by buying or selling through the coun
Gil. No one excluded from its ranks except those
in direct antagonism to its principle.
1t benefits the whole community by wedding out
surplus middlemen and reducing prices that
are now exorbitantly high by bringing producer
and consumer together.
The initiation fees are few and alike to all, with
no unfair Determinations. Two dollars for men
and one dollar for women. Women are admitted
to full membership and have all the rights and
privileges of men in the order. Fifteen to thirty
allowed as charter members. 1t is desirable that
enc half be women. Meetings are held monthly,
but weekly meetings better and to be preferred.

shall be no more bad debts, failures or good pay

or bad debts of other peoples its work. Each
member pays for what he gets, and no more re-
ceves full weight, at cost, Of good and pure arti
cles. 1t brings capital and labor together in near
er and pleasanter relations, removes antagon ism
and breathes into each proper sympathy for the
other.
Let all working men and women who are will.

to weaken the Republican party, its opponents
have only taken spssmodc advantages. Governor
Tilden inaugurated his administration by q bold
and praiseworthy demonstration against ring of
canal contractors by whom the State had been
systematically defrauded for twenty years of at
least so per cent of the millions appropriated for
the repairs improvements and enlargement of our
canal. For this he deserved and received the
hearty approval of all good men. But by turning
the results Of an investigation designed to punish
fraud and to protect the State Treasury into par
ty channel to advance, as is alleged and believed,
personal aspirations, he has lost the opportunity
not only Of making himself stronger than his par
ty, but Of rising to elevation which blends par
tisanship with patriotism.
Nor has the Democracy profted by the circum-
stances which gave it sscendeDcy in the pres
ent House of Representatives. They were indebt-
ed for that success to the faults and foles OF the
Administration. And in that success what seemed
strength has proved weakness. Rebellion, though
subdued in the field, exists in the heart OF Jetfer
son Davis and such of his followers as find their
way to Congress. Their hatred, their eSac,ons
and their aggressions will prove as offensive now
as they were defiant during the last years of the
existence of slavery. Democracy. therefore, in
coalescing with the party of Jefferson Davis, can
only hope for success through the faulty or blind
ness of the Republican National Convention.

REPUBLICAN, GAIN IN CONNECTICUT
The republican gain in Connecticut on
the vote for Governar is large and signifi
cant. The democratic majority last year
was 6538; this year the democratic major
ity is but 3644; result, republican gain
of 1884. This vote indicates that the drift
of public sentiment in Connecticut is tow
ard the republican party. There is little
reason to doubt, even after the Growing of
the democratic organs. that the State will
give majority for the republican candi-
date for President next November.
While the democratic papers have
charged that the republicans spent large
sums of money in the election, the New
York Tribune steps to the front and says
there was barely enough money raised
from republican sources to de:ray the
printing bills. And while the same paper
exonerates the democratic candidate for
Governor from the imputation of having
put large sums of his own money into the
canvass to influence votes, it more than
intimates that exGoy. English did use
money to secure legislature favorable to
his election to the United States Senate.
and that this accounts for the large major
ity which the democrats have in the legis-
lature in proportion to the democratic ma
jority for Governor. Says the Tr bune:
The Republicans do charge, however,
with what foundation does not appear
that ex-Gov. English did contribute very
large sums, and that his money was used
freely in the rural districts and the close
and doubtful towns TO secure Legislature
in his interest as candidate for United
States Senator. And 1t must be confessed
that it is singular if not significant fact
that while the Republicans have made
gains in the larger cities and towns, at a
rate which ii kept up In the smaller places
would have given them the State, in the
small and close towns, which have an
equal representation with the larger ones
in the legislature, the democrats almost
invariably increased their vote and elected
their representatives. Had politician of
Mr.. Eng.ish's shrewdness and experience
set out to secure the Senatorship. he would
undoubtedly have done just what these
figures furnish the suspicion of. 1t is not
strange that his opponents should attach
Just this significance to this feature of the
vote. 1t Is unfortunate, too, for Mr.. Eng
fish's reputation that there 10 nothing in bis

on the political situation. Mr. Weed has
his desire for perfect reconciliation be-

dence of his guilt. Ii he were guilty. as
the Standard asserts, then the friends of
the Standard are guilty Of compromising a

ment on condition that he yielded the CUB

NJ. Marque, Of the Left, proposed an

NJ. Ricard, Minister Of the Interior, pro-
posed that the amnesty motions be declar-

opposes all propositions for amnesty. It
firmly intends to cause the decisions OF the

dishonoring the country to treat the
criminals of the Commune as victims OF

NM. RaspaiI and Brlsson, Of the Lett,

In the House Of Commons last night
Mr.. Cameron moved for q committee to in
Quire into the prolonged imprisonment aud
i'll treatment Of the crew Of the British
ship Taliamau by the Peruvian govern
menf.
Mr.. Bourke, Under Foreign Secretary,
stated that the government had telegraph
cd 10 Lima that the remaining prisoners
viz. the captain and mate Of the Talisman,
must be Immediately tried or England
would demand their release. The allega-
tons in regard to i'll treatment would be
forwarded to the English representative
in Peru, and if he reported they were cor
rect the government would consult the
law officers as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of de-
handing compensation,
Sir Henry james urged that the Peruvi-
an government had had full opportunity
to try the prisoners. The time had now
arrived to demand their release. He ask
ed the government to give assurance, if the
prisoners remained untried, a demand for
their release would be forcibly sup
ported.
Mr.. Ashley suggested that a gunbOat be
sent to CaIlao.
The Attorney General, Sir John Holker,
pointed out that the Talisman was guilty
of piracy. The delay in bringing the crew
to trial arose from the decision of the Pc
ruvian Attorney General that the trial
could not begin until the condemnation OF
the Talisman had been decided by the
courts. The House might depend upon
it, if the Peruvian government did not
comply with the request for trial or re-
lease of the prisoners, measures would be
taken to enforce it.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir
Stafford Northcote, stated that if the trial
was not now proceeding, as dispatches an
nounced it was, Lord Derby would know
what must be done. The House might
rely upon it, the government would see
right lone in the matter. He showed how
an inquiry by a committee might furnish
Peru with an excuse for further delay.
The motion was then shelved by the ad-
