Corporation.

For the Grange Adrance: The sue
cess and prosperity to which eo-opera-
ton in England and other portions Of
Europe has finally attained has attract
ed the attention of the masses Oh this
side of tho Atlantic, and it is argued
that, with the system perfected by their
experience, cooperation may be inau-
gurated here, by following or adhering
strictly to their modes, as now perfected,
without mourning any of the difficulties
which at first beset the undertaking in
its earlier days in that country. .-.
This may or may not be 80 it is; an
experiment which remains to be tested,
SO far as we are concerned, and it can
only be fully known whether their plan
will work equally we'll here as there by
years of trial. However, I think there
can be no doubt but what cooperation,
conducted on 4 plan recognising the
different conditions between different
localities, but retaining the fundamental
principles, such as buying and selling
with cash only, and all other safeguards
which circumstances and surroundings
indicate, must greatly benefit the labor
ing masses; and especially in some locali-
ties muehmore than others. Never the
less, there are causes existing almost ev-
cry where, here in the west, which seem
more and more almost to compel or
necessitate a movement of this kind,
and which must il time completely
change or revolutionize the business
methods of this country.
Among these causes, the building Of
costly and extravagant buiness blocks
and the constant and costly corpora
ton improvements, the rents and taxes
of which in the end come out Of the
pockets Of those who buy or patronize
them, and more especially operating in
juriously upon the poorer and hard
working classes. Whereas goods
bought out of an inexpensive building
and outside Of city or corporation limits,
are just as acceptable, and, although the
rate per cent. is less, the gain is greater,
both to buyer apd seller.
And the cause consists in the crowding
and over stocked condition of most Of
our western towns, thus causing a
double Joss, loss to the business man
and to the community, for if two or
three establishments only do the bust
ness which one might just as we'll do,
the entire cost Of the extra and needless
establishments results in needless cost
and loss to the community, and in jeo-
pardizing the business of those engaged
in carrying on. A further cause or neces-
sity efecting this community (southern
central Pierce county, is that almost
impossible Gulf-the Mississippi. The
expense and inconvenience of crossing
which is no small item to those of US
who so much need to apply it to pay for
our imperative nends.
There are other considerations, Mr..
Editor, whi,h 90 to commend co-opera.
ton to this locality, but I will leave
them for an other time, in which pro.
pose to speak of the plan, or the best
way to do it. A.

The reputation it has attained, in
consequence of the marvellous cures it
has produced during the last half CEN
fury, is sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize
the happiest results that can be desired.
In almost every section of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases Of the lungs,
by its use. All who have tried it ac-
knowledge it's superiority; and where
its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to re-
lieve the distress and suffering peculiar
to pulmonary affections. CHERRY Pee
TORAL always affords instant relief, and
performs rapid cures Of the milder va
rieties of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases Of the
lungs.
As a safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset
the Throat and Chest of Childhood, it
is invaluable; for, by it's timely use,
multitudeS are rescued and restored to
health.
This medicine gains friends at
every trial, as the cures it is constantly
producing are too remarkable to be
forgotten. No family should be with
out it, and those who have once used
it never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the
country prescribe it, and Clergymen
often recommend it from their knowl-
edge Of it's effects.

Let Them Resign.

Gov. RoDrxsON failed to sign the bill
aboli-hing the present Dock Department.
and therefore the tlrec Commissioners are
still on hand quarrclling and hunglng. The
department is a rotten concern. lcaky and
barnaclcd. lis traditions are Il cxtrava-
gnncc and laundering and it seems unequal
e. the task of reforming itself. At least the
present Commissioners are manifcsily at a
loss what 10 do to cleanse aud fumigate the
establishment
Mayor ELY tried to improve matters by
appointing Mr.. VANDrRpoEL as one Of the
board, and he and Mr.. DIMOcX should be
able to do something toward reforming the
department. No enc better than they
can know in how great need il stands ~
reformation. how sadly 1t lacks In eff
cheney and how clumsy it's machinery Is.
Stories are In circulation Of iobbcry in the
purchase Of piles. and oven II they are not

INFLATED while there Is no use for them.
Thcy are not only not wanted, but they
were bought at an cyorbitant figure. Thu
Commissioners find themselves unable e.
Justify the purchase or to utilize the mate

wasted. Commissioner VANDLRPoEL tell.
OF the discovery of twenty thousand dollars

What If the Horse was stolen s-Gcn.
uawIcy's Opinion.

The Hon. JOSEPH X, HAwLEY Of COnnccti-
cut. ono Of the commission sent TO Louis
lana to investigate the condition OF things
there, * not disturbed in the least by the in
dictment Of the members Of the Returning
Board He regards it as important to the
persons accused only, and Of no consequence
70 the Republican party. 1.-THE affair can
have no bearing he says, "on President
HAYES or any other national interest"
"The Electoral Commission" he continues,
"took the vote OF the state as the Board de-
oidcd, after most elaborate argument, that
no provision was made for an investigation
into the details when state declared and
forwarded it, vote. Republicans would re-
grct to be compelled to believe that the
Board had committed the alleged crimes;
but If they have done SO, they 1.-THE Board
must take the consequences"
Just 50. Gen. HAwLBY. If the Board have
done 80 they must take the consequences;
but in our opinion, Mr.. HAYES must tako
the consequences also.
The ground taken by majority of the
Electoral Commission was that that com
mission. being only national body, pos
Bcsscd no authority to go behind the anthem
tcatcd return Of n state, because on that
subject the State IL sovereign. But the
State itself, no one can doubt, has the right
t. go beneath the surface and penetrate TO
the depth and the truth Of the whole matter.
This the state of Louisiana purposes to do
by means Of Il criminal prosecution of the
members composing the Returning Board.
The State has. beyond all question, author
ity to institute and conduct such u prosccu-
ton. Moreover, no more solemn and i'm
porativo duty can rest upon the State au-
fhoritics than to inform against these men
and try them il there is good reason to be-
lieve them guilty.
Now suppose they should be convicted.
They are charged, under the laws of the
State, with having uttered and published
false, fraudulent. and forged election re-
turns. Ii they should be found guilty, then
1t would have been iudicialy established
that Mr.. HAYES was not lawfully elected
President of the United States. This would
not directly Gust him from his Office. But
does Gen. HAwLEy undertake TO say that in
face of such verdict Nj. HAYES would
hold on4
ITO be sure the horse was stolen; that is
settled; but since we have him, We will keep
him. Is that the doctrine Of the Rcnubli-
can party

Of Health may, it cannotprevent the disease

Of crowding and foul air az are permitted
to exist TO reach this prolific source Of
death, only radical measures will avail.
The times ere not quito SO bad as they
have been. but the improvement Is slight,
and the advance TO livcllcr things so slow
that the progress is scarcely observable.
still, there Is better tone In business The
prevalence of poverty is manifested by the
decline in the circulation of newspapers and
in the receipts of the horse railroads What
are known as short fares, the most profit
able fares TO the roads, have fallen off, and
the circumstance indicates how economical
the people are compelled to be, outstanding
the five cents and walking, whereas once
they would havc ridden. Tho two cents

sands of our citizens are to-day unable to
spare oven that amount. We could say
nothing which would more fOrcibly tell the
story Of the poverty now 80 prevalent.
But the summer Is Il pleasant ono, and we
all have reason to hope for the coming of
better DAYS.

Stanley Matthew's Denial.

A reporter for the Cincinnati Eaqpirer
having called on Mr.. STANLEY MATTHEWS
70 obtain his views OF the Louisiana bar
gain, That gentleman said b. him, and ap-
parently with some emphasis for We are
told that he compressed his lips as he
replied: " You may say for me that never
made any bargain with anybody, about any
thing. al any time, connected with Louisl-
INA affairs"
This is denial comprehensive and crouln-
stantial, 50 far as Mr. MATTHEWS Is con-
coined. Singularly enough, it is the first de-
NAL we have seen or heard OF by any one of
MI the parties supposed to have boon cun-
rcrncd. On the contrary, all accounts from
Washington agree in representing the Presi-
dent as roundly asserting not only tnpt
bargain was made, but that the indictment
If the Returning Board Is an nfractiDn Of
it, conditions; and insisting that it must be
lived up 10. 1t is even alleged that he has
Bent on for some OF the principal politicians
ln Louisiana to come to Washington for the
purpose OF having the difficulty arranged.
Mr.. MATTHEWS is a lawyer, evidently not
destitute Of common sense, and he appears
pt once to have cOmprchendcd the dangers
OF the position assumed by the Adninistra-
tiOn at Washington. And well might he
take alarm AT the idea of setting up the fact
that man seeking to have himself returned
rs having received a majority OF the votes
In certain State, makes bargain to sur
rendcr the political power Of that State into
certain hands on condition that the members
of the Returning Board shall rot bc prose-
ruted criminally for making such a return
Why mako such a bargain IL the return
was not to be fraudulent return
Could Mr.. HAYES by any possibility have
made such a bargain. and have insisted on
such conditions, If lac had not known that the
return to be made by this Board was to be
fraudulent
Such n supposition is out of the question
IT is utterly impossible. Innocent men need
no contracts with anybody not ~ prosccut,
them. The assertion on the part Of the Ad
ministration, ii true, that bargain wa
made ut which the prosecution of the r.
turning Board is an infringement, wuul,
Seem If Itself to establish two important
points: Fist that in making such return
D. was To- hc made crime was t. he cWl
nittcd; AMI secondly, that Mr.. HAYES wa
fully advised beforehand Of the intention t.

Secretary Evaris whether an answer to his note
accompanying a copy oi his credentials as En-
voy Extraordinary and Minister Plcnipotcntiary

such reply to the Mexican Government by the
mail Of this wcck. The Secretary received Mr.
NIata in n friendly spirit. and informed him
that he was not yet prepared TO furnish reply
70 the note but that there should be no unnoccs-
sary delay in doing so.
Mr.. Matn, in conversation to-day with friends.
