Cooperative Stores.

The general subject of cooperation
was brought up last week before the
Social Science Association by o paper
to be regretted that Americans, par
ticularly those who believe they pay
too dearly for nearly everything they
buy, do not give more practical atten-
tion to O means of self-help which else
wherein England, particularly-has been
very successfully used. The cooperative
store, of which several specimens exist in
the United States, is not costly or difficult
enterprise to go into. Five hundred me-
chanics, laboring men, clerks or farmers,
each with ten dollars which he is willing
to invest in q store instead Of putting it
into the savings bank, could supply
oil the capital for, say, we'll stocked
grocery and provision store, name their
own directors, appoint q storekeeper and
buy Of themselves at first cost with only
cost of handling added. They would re-
ceive dividends upon their money in the
shlPe Of savings in expenditures; they
could satisfy themselves about the first
cost of every article of home consumption,
about the various grades of each, and also
upon such tricks of the trade as they may
have suffered by. They could sell to out
siders at profit. enlarge their association
until it could buy and sell for them cloth
ing, furniture and everything else they
need. They could also, as they surely
would, learn of some of the at present un-

The Tammany Party.

In that short paragraph OF Mr.. John
Kelly's speech at Syracuse in which he
states the qualities of "the Tammany
party" the big. big II" only occurs four
teen times, which is, perhaps, not great
deal for Boss, though for anybody else it
might give rise to a charge that the style
was somewhat egotistical. 1t has been re-
marked by several journals that in that
same paragraph Mr.. Kelly announced the
Tammany party as distinct political en-
tity from the democratic party, but it has
not been noticed that he announced at the
same time that he himself was the 'Tam-
many party" Yet that is the fact. His
words are:-'While l am perfectly sure 1
am not going to be elected, still ] will
promise you that will work just as hard
as if thought could bo elected; and you
know that when the Tammany party makes
up its mind to work hard it does So" Here
"Tammany party" is merely phrase to
avoid one more repetition of the l.

Worthy OF Their sfres.

The juvenile Jerseyman promises to be
as shrewd as his father, as q late difficulty
at Ocean Grove testifes. The town is sepa-
rated from Asbury Park by narrow pond
called Wesley Lake, upon which there are
no less than two hundred Independent fer
ries, each consisting of q rowboat manned
by one small boy. This year the thrifty
association that controls Ocean Grove i'm
posed license fee of two dollars upon each
of these boys, and any one who has ever
been boy can imagine the Seluctance with
which the money was paid, particularly as
the association is above all things religious
and therefore afforded ground for sus-
picion that some of the money might
be misappropriated to the benefit of
tho heathen, whom oil unregenerate boys
detest. But just as camp meeting week
the season for harvesting ferriages as we'll
rs souls--began, one end of the lake gave
way, the water ran out, the boats were left
high and dry, and the boatmen, like
Pharaoh of old, ragged on the shore as the
faithful passed dry shod where once there
was deep water. Unlike the rash Egyptian
king, however, the boys sensibly sought con-
ISOLATION instead Of revenge, and they ter
rified the forefathers of the hamlet, among
whom were the parents of some of the
youngsters, by combining, employing ooun-

democratic vote as large as possible, and
their joint efforts may save the bulk
of the ticket while giving the Gov
ernor to the republicans. Should
this be the actual result all the
democratic opponents of Mr.. Tilden will
rejoice, since it would put Mr.. Tilden out
of the field and, at the same time, leave to
the democratic party hope of carrying the
State next year tor some other candidate.
IT it should turn out that Robinson's vote
for Governor plus Kelly's vote for Cover
nor makes conjoint democratic majority
in the State. many democrats will look
upon such result with satisfaction in
spite of Mr. Cornell's election. 1t
will enable them to say to the
Democratic National Convention that New
York can be carried for some other demo-
cratic candidate, but not for Mr.. Tilden.
1t would put it in their power to show that
his candidacy would divide the democracy
and again lose the State whereas an accept
able candidate, who could unite and con-
solidate the party, would carry New York.
It may not have entered into Mr.. Kelly's
calculations to play such n game, but the
cooler and more dexterous enemies of Mr..
Tilden may be willing to turn the bolt to
account in this direction.
