THERE was some little difficulty in the
Chicago Cook county, Republican Con-
yention. The Washburne-Blaine men
were in the majority. A struggle over
the Temporary Craftsmanship, in which
the anti-Grant party are reported to
have displayed plentiful lack of dis
cretion and dignity, gave the Grant men
an excuse to bolt and organize Con-
vention of their own. The result is that
Cook county will send two delegations
to the State Convention on the 19th,and
the contest will be re-opened there, with
doubts as to which one will be admitted.

tary uf the Treasury the public debt, less
cash in the Treasury, was S2,O61,s26

THE New York Legislature has just
adopted tramp law. 1t provides that
every tramp shall be imprisoned at hard
labor in the penitentiary for not more
than six months. Any person roaming
about the State, without any visible
means of support is regarded as a
tramp. 1t is similar to the Ohio law
passed by the last General Assembly.

COMMERCIAL GO.

A meeting OF prominent gentlemen interest
ed In the subject OF commercial cooperation
was held recently In New York for the purpose
OF considering the best method Of organizing
a system In this country similar to that which
has proved 80 successful In Great Britain. The
question proposed to be solved by commercial
CO. cooperation is: How tho great accumulation
Of wealth can be equitabiy divided among the
people2e Cooperation means equity In bust
ness. and Is, therefore. the strongest possible
protest against the present individual and cor
porative systems. on the ground that they are
not based upon equity. The demand Is 30 to
open up the channel Of business that those
who save little as we'll as those who save much.
can invest their savings In the business that
employs them. This. 1t Is claimed. may be
accomplished by the establishment Of co.
operative stores upon the plan OF central
wholesale store which will supply goods to the
retail stores. which will In turn distribute them
among the customers. The plan OF co-opera-
ton was first tried In England In 1924. begin

OF $40. The capital now Ia q 440,175. while the
association has q membership Of 10 427 per-

land. and for the last year the sales amounted
to 100000. The nearest approach to the CO.
operative system referred to. In this country
was that adopted by the Grange organization.

THE TELEanApHIo CONTEST.

The contest between the rival telegraph COM

Western Union discovered that large telegraph
batteries were being erected Ia tho ONCE Of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad. and that now line Of
telegraph was constructed from these batteries
TO point In the central part Of tho city. and
that the entire telegraph line from Denver TO
Kansas City would BIO seized and controlled BY

vent this. the Western Union hled bill In the

from permitting any OF its wires from Denver

Union. and prohibiting both defendants from

teries OF tho Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. and restraining the railroad company
from permitting the use OF the poles By the
American Union. This litigation at once raises
the question OF the validity Of tho contracts ex-

road company. Az the result Of this contest,

graph gives the particulars Of several dis
tnrbancee and riots at Canea and Gambia, IN

and Mussulmans. In both Of these tlxhts the
Nahommedans acted on the aggressive. In
the first instance. at Csnea. they murdered

which several persons were killed, and which
was finally put down by the gendarmerle with
great difficulty. The second riot was brought
about BY an attempt Or the Mahommedans to
prevent celebration at Gambia In honor OF
the patron saint Of that town. This also re-
suited In the death Of several persons. The
Turkish government interfered and ordered

"A 0LUT OF LAWYERS.

The alacrity-anxiety almost-with which
young men fly to the law would lead the unini-

industrious and unremiting care can be had

CURRENT TOPICS.
COMMERCE. WITH THE TROPICS.

The visit Of M. de Lesseps to the United
States is likely to create deep interest among
merchants to ascertain the character and extent
Of the trade with Central America and the west
coast Of South America. which would be brought
into closer connection with US by the construc-
ton OF the proposed interoceanic canal It Is
stated that from the port OF Guayaquil alone
5000 900 600 Of cocoa, rubber and ivory nuts are
annually exported. Peru exports 5000 tons Of
sugar. worth 80 900 600; cotton worth about ST.
500 900; about $50 900 tons Of nitrate and guano
to the extent II not less than $4,000. oo0 It Is
also said that In normal times Peru alone could
export $50 100000 in native products. The
yearly exports from Chill are between $ss .o0o.-
900 and SO 900 900. and the especial commerce
ranges from s3o0Oo.oO0 to $s7. 1000. It Is
elaine that the canal will also influence the
trade OF Mexico and Central America to great
extent. Costa Ria supplies about 100000
worth OF coffee. besides tobacco and other COM
modi,ies. The extent Of the Mexican trade Is
estimated annually at t5. 1000. A further con-
sideration is that vessels sailing from the
United States would go much quicker by way OF
the canal than could British steamers. and
