very homely task whish you have
undertaken. But it S chiefly by
homely virtues and every day apti-
tudes that human life il regenerated
and sweetened. A living poet,
teaching the practical essons of the
present through the NEUROLOGICAL
fancies of the past reminds US that
in the Greek Pantheon not Aphro
dite, the goddess of beauty, nor
Athene, the goddess of wisdom, but
Hebe, the type of the housewife, is
the true queen Of heaven and earth.
Hers is the
Calm path
Which lies before the feet, thr,' common ways,
And undistinguished crowds # toiling men,
And yet is hard to tread tho seeming
smooth,
And yet, tho level, earns awor.hier crown.
She owns more especially as her
loyal subjects
Thestriving souls
Of fathers toiling day by day obscure
And unrewarded, save by their own hearts.
Hence she claims as her own,
Llfe, full life,
Full Powered, full fruited, reared from homely
earth,
Rooted in duty, and thro' lorg calm years,
Rearing its load of healthful energies,
Stretching its arms on all sides, fed with dews
Of cheerful sacrifice and clouds of care.
Yes, "duty is a path that all may
tread" And yet here IS the higher
bliss" and the 'swort1ier crown"
The thrift, the patience, the helpful
ness, the energy, the lookingfor
ward, the mutual trust and fellow
feeling which alone can carry this
movement to a successful issue Gf
successful it should bel will be thrice
blessed-blessed in the flower and
in the fruit-blessed in the moral
education of the immediate work
ers, and blessed in the ultimate gain
to the community at large.

What Cooperation Does.

The following tabular statement
which Is based upon actual expert
ence and is far below the success of
many cooperative stores in this
country, will show the advantages of
Patrons having their own stores and
buying from themselves. The calcu-
lation is made for II years, beginning
with an investment of $40, allowing
10 per cent interest per annum, pur-
chases to the amount of 500 annu-
ally, 10 per cent net profit on sales,
and 20 per cent Accommodations:

Cooperation.
What is the greatest evil we have
to contend against financially?
Debt: It is the disease that dieth
not; the disease that eats the vitals
of productive industry. The YAM
pire that sucks the life blood of pro-
duction.
The eonIree che great system by which
wealth passes from tae masses, who
are the creators of it, into the hands
of the few is that of interest and
rent Not that we object to them,
but why interest on money should
be as much again as the annual in
crease of the country no one can
give any good reason
A man who loans S., 900 demands
$500 for the use of itper year; or, if
he rents house that costs $4,000,
he wants $500 rent per annum. But
if man puts that amount into
farm, or manufacturing, he gets only
about $I75 profit. This is the way
| business is carried on N this coun-
try. The average increase of the
wealth of the country is not over
81 per cent. on the capital invested.
But intesests and rents afford from
7 to 10 per cent. Now, if man is
doing business on borrowed capital
at 7 per cent, and his profits are
but B per cent, it is perfectly GER
tain that he must fail Capital will
get all that he creates In a very
short time. This is the way inter
esr and rents are making the rich
r1cher and the poor poorer. Let
us see how this works. A man
rents house that costs S., 500 at
$3.50 year. Three per cent. of the
rent goes for insurance, repairs, ETC.,
and 7 per cent. on the capital in
vested in the house; that is, $I76.
This, in ten years pays for the house
or builds another. These two
are then rented, and in ten years
more the landlord has four houses
to let; and at the end of thirty
years he has eight houses, valued at
$4,000, and an income of, $I,4oo
! annually. At the end of an hundred
years this house will have multi
piled itself by rents to 1850, and
the W, 500 to $3,5oo,Ooo. This would
require $50 men working 40 years,
and earning 5000 year, to have
built the houses or earned the money
for this S., 500. Is it difficult to see
how money flows to money, and
wealth tO the wealthy7
Now let US see how this looks
when considered as interest and APP
piled to national affairs: Our ma
TONS Idebts are about as follows,
probably more than these estimates
of the St. Louis HePA6llcan:
National debt. So ,2So,ooo,ooo
States debts. 382,ooo,ooo
County debts ............... oo,ooo'ooo
Ra a.oa1l dehtS 69o 9 80
~ 1900
Total .......... ,3oo, 900, 900
The interest onthis amount is not
less than s per cent. twill double
itself in twelve wears at compound
interest In fftv wears. therefore.
this debt will, if continued. amount
| to s4.814,4oo,ooo. or more than three
fines as rnncb as the wealth of the
United States Such is the absorb
| ing power of interest and rent.
When will the people think of
these things?
The man who would saddle a ma
tion with debt. unnecessarily. ought
to be hung without Judge or benefit

administration, Mr.. English was a
clerk 10 the treasurey department. In
1851 was speaker of the State legisla-
ture, and ia 1852 was elected mem
Der of the hover house of Congress,
and was several times reelected. Mr..
English is very strong with the masses

Hon. ADoLPH BAILEY died at bis
residence at Opelousas week ago last
Monday, after long illness. He. was
nearly fifty years old, and left wild
ow and six children. He was a native
OF, Yermilion parish. Just. after the
war he became Judge of the judicial
district embracing St. Landry, Lafay-
cite and Calcasieu parishes, and though
almost entirely inexperienced ss prac-
ticing attorney, at once electrified the
Oldest members of the bar by his won
derful familiarity with law, pleading
and practice, in civil aud criminal cases.
He was a graduate of Yale College, in
the same class as Hon. Randall Gibson,
and was no less brilliant as scholar
than profound as a jurist. In 1868 he
was elected, as democrat, to Congress,
but the republican house of represent
atives gave his seat to his VIGOROUSLY
defeated republican contestant. Phys
ical illness, like thorn in the flesh,
made him morbidly irritable and i'm
patient, bat there were CLEANS of sum
light through the clouds of suffering,
and in those happier moments few men
were more companionable. Intellect
ually he was a giant. When anything
was presented for his consideration the
rays of his magnificent mind were con-.
centrated on it like those of the sun
through sun-glass, a9d he never rested
until he thoroughly eomprehendea its
most minute details. The greatest in
tellect in southern Louisiana, if not in
tie whole State, went out in darkness
when Adolph Bailey died. Peace to
his ashes.
