now proceed to push the suits
against Samuel j. Tilden.

Business Barbanty.

It is reasonably safe to say that
if the world should progress during
the next 800 years as rapidly as
it has during tue last 500, our des-
cendants of that day would be
amazed at the barbarlsm that al
lowed few lucky capitalists to
amass millions of dollars on single
revolution of the speculative wheel
of fortune. They will feel toward
us as we DO towards those ancestors
of ours who allowed one man or
few men to monopolize power and
make the many drudge for the few
in abject submission.
While it is certain that the
present state Of things cannot en-
dure, yet it is far from certain what
the remedy viii he. Indeed, it is
this very uncertainty that stands i'll
the way Of reform. The people
have the power and the will, but
are ia doubt how best to proceed.
A writer III tho -lHaHtic NonttlY
for February explains as some
length the German COOPERATIVE
Credit Unions. They start out
upon the theory thas the people can
take care Of themselves as against
the monopolists, without any special
help from the Government. This is a
wholesome idea, even, if not alto
gether sound. The spirit of indie
pendence, yet OF self-helpfuluess, is
certainly far better than the dis
position to can on the State. Social
ism is radically wrong IN the con-
trast it presents herein 70 the
cooperative credit system. It

practices. Mean while, the voter
who has received a bride is to be
deprived of his franchise for ten
years, and no man is any longer
to be allowed a conveyance to and
from the place of voting. The most
stringent rules of all are those which
are aimed at the publicans. Any
one of them who allows bribery on
his premises is to forfeit his license,
and the committee rooms are not to
be held in any public house.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1881-01-27

seems that before these unions
were formed (the Oldest date back
to 1850 small dealers and manu-
facturers, trades people, properly
SO called, were obliged to pay very
extortionate rates of interest for
borrowed capital. By pooling
their surplus and then borrowing as
occasion required, the rate has been
reduced to i or 10 per cent. The
details Of the system are quite fully
explained, and it is assumed that
America might we'll profit by the ex-
ample of Germany. 1t has done so,
and institutions closely modelled af-
ter the German plan are to be found
in Philadelphia, Chicago and some
other cities. But there is not much
scope, comparatively, for them in
this country. The ordinary banks
are to be found in every village,
nearly, and the prevailing rates of
interest are as low in the banks of
this country as they are in the credit
unions of Germany. Usury is not
one of the evils of this country or
this period. 1t crops out in individ-
ual cases, of course, but it is not
chargeable. against the credit system
as whole.
The great fundamental folly of the
day is boundless avarice. Nobody
seems to have well-dehned idea of
how much capital he needs for real
independence, and few, indeed, have
the good sense to devote themselves
to making the most of life, after hav-
ing acquired competency. The
pursuit of wealth as an end unto it.
self is in keeping with the gluttony
Of the savage, who never knows
enough to stop eating so long as
there is anything at hand. The
slaves to avarice are essentially bar
barrie in their tastes. The really
civilized man knows when he has
enough. Having acquired sufficient
property to support himself and
those dependent upon him comforta-
bly, in his normal society, he sets
about increasing his rational enjoy
ments. He distinguishes between
means and end What he does for
his own sake is precisely what makes
room for others to thrive. The I'M
cultured barbarian, who keeps right
on devoting himself to money-get-
ting, when he should be devoted to
moneyspending, is bane to society.

FROM the published correspon-
dence between the United States
and Canada in relation to the rights
of wreckers, it seems that the course
OF Canada has not only been un-
warranted, but in direct violation
of existing treaties and agreements,
to say nothing Of the laws of hu-
manity. The understanding is that
any vessel may assist any other in
distress, no matter ia what waters,
in cases where delay may cause
loss of life or cargo, yet whenever
an American vessel has undertaken
to render assistance to craft wreck
ed on Canadian shores the act has
been followed by seizure aud fine.
Ia one instance, a fine Of s400 was
imposed upon an American tug
which went TO the relief of Il strau-
ded schooner, several members of
whose crew had frozen to death,

A frightful accident occurred to
the Erie express, which left Elmira,
n. Y, at II o'clock Saturday night.
When about five miles west Of
Oswego the axle Of one of the driving
wheels OF the locomotive broke, and
the entire train, going at the rate of
thirty Eve miles an hour, was
thrown from the track. The engine
kept its feet, and the engineer and
fireman escaped uninjured, but the
forward cars were turned over and
over. The postal car caught fire
and four mailing clerks were burned
to death A hole was cut in the
door Of the express car and the
messenger put his head out, but
could not eXtricate his body. The
train men tried to pull him out, but
were driven back by the flames,
aud they saw him slowcly burn to
death, There were nine passenger
coaches, but none of the passengers
sustained any injury.

WHILE The Chicago Journal has
not been favorable to the election Of
Hon. Philetus Sawyer for United
States Senator from Wisconsin, yet,
his election being now "foregone
ccnclusion," it comedies that the
Wisconsin Legislature might have
"gone farther and Jared worse" and
says: "Our preference for Mr.. Keyes
was based entirely upon the fact
that in culture and practical fitness
we deemed him the superior of Mr..
Sawyer, who, unfortunately, is not
an educated man, and uneducated
men are Of little use in the Senate.
1t must be confessed, however, that
Mr.. Sawyer, while a Representative
in Congress, exhibited excellent
common-sense in reference to all
questions Of public economy and f.
nance. We do not forget the fact
that he was the only one of the Wis
consin delegation in tho House, in
1874, who had the courage to oppose
the dangerous currency-inhation bill
which passed at that session, and
from the perilous consequences Of
which the country was fortunately
spared by the veto Of President
Grant. Mr.. Sawyer's head was emil
nently level on that occasion, as all
thinking men must now confess. He
had strong convictions, and had the
courage to maintain them against
what was the almost unanimous SEN
timent of the other Northwestern
Representatives. On questions of
finance, tariff and the national integ
rity, Mr.. Sawyer hard common
sense has often proved superior to
the logic and tradition of scholastic
statesmen and philosophers. And
he is thoroughly honest man, as
well as man Of practical sense.
Wisconsin will have no occasion to
regret his election to the Senate"

CAPITAL NOTES.

i
Gus on Wednesday evening, was
the event of last week. Readers
of the TRIBUNE for a month pre-
vious, who put faith in its represen-
tations must have been prepared
for the result; but those who were
surprised at the lamentable weak
ness of Mr.. Reyes as developed in
the vote, are not to be ridiculed-
this number is too great. Remcm.
bering the claims made Of political
sagacity in Mr.. Reyes; hearing SO
much of his great ability as a lead
err and organizer of political forces,
and reading the seventy newspa-
pers that gave him support, no one
should be censured for supposing
he would receive more than one
fourth of the republican votes, and
at least half as many as Mr.. Saw
yer. Most published estimates
gave Mr.. Reyes a positive strength
of from so to 40 up to week ago.
A notable exception was RubIee s
Milwaukee Republican, in the first
number of which, issued January
Sd, the 103 republicans Of the legis-
lature were placed on the Sena
torial question as follows: For
Sawyer, IS; for Reyes, q; for
clark horse or doubtful, IS.
When the vote was taken, more
than two weeks afterward it stood :;
Sawyer IS; Reyes 25; scattering
20.

sophically, and it is said will take
