COOPERATION"

Tho Cooper Union free course OF Saturday night

course are to be ON social economic. scientific and
technical subjects. Mr. George Jacob Holyoake. of
England delivered the address last night the subject
being Cooperation" The colonization phase Of
the subject was first treated of by tho lecturer.
and he showed the mutual advantage that would re-
suit from the bringing of skilled labor from Europe
TO build up the reso of this country. Labor
would be foolish IL IL did not give attention to
the subject and strive to maintain its rights. In
England there wcro thousands OF people who
could live without labor. but millions who
could not live with it, II the working
classes were to be elevated from their condition IL
must be done by lighting or by cooperation. With
free speech and free press there was no need for
the former. The people would then have all they
needed. The object Of cooperation to do

employer In England IL began with distribu-
tive cooperation In the form of stores, in
which the profits on tho goods were divided with
the purchasers. Credit was neitheu given nor
taken. Humble fare could thus be supplied ut
cheap prices. They had made trade honest. and In
the end had made honesty pay. Good sense and
temper. with patience, were necessary, aud hence
education necessary. Part OF the profits of the
institutions were, therefore, SGT aside for such pur
poses. Cooperation was slow. but 1t much
better than aimless agitation. State assistance
was not needed. II the State would leave the people

Congressman Charles Il. voorhis. president of the
First National Bank Of Hackensack and also pres-
dent of the Bergen County Savings Bank. made an
assignment. reported . few days ago. for
the benefit of his creditors. His liabilities are
now stated at somewhat over 100000 and
tho two aforementioned banks hold most Of
his paper. In consequence, the First Ma
tonal Bank has called in all its unpaid capital stock.
and its directors have concluded to levy ASSESS
ment of ninety per cent the whole of its capital
stocks 100 900. The Bergen County Savings Bank
taken advantage of the clause in its charter al
lowing 1t to demand thirty days notice
from depositors desiring to withdraw money.
Mr. Isaac d. Demarest has been elected
president in place of Mr.. voorhis. The
1atter's bankruptcy had been expected for some
time, and when he ran for Congress last fall ii
well known in financial circles that he was crippled.
His absence in Washington during the prolonged
sessions Of Congress only tended to hasten the
crash. In consequence Of this knowledge the banks
were somewhat prepared for the blow. and 1t is
pected that both will weather the storm.
