So far cooperation among the farmers
and mechanics has not obtained a foot
hold in America, for numerous reasons
that NAV be assigned, but chiefly, per-
hans. on account of the better condition
of the people of this country and the
small effort required to obtain subsist-
ence. In all ages man has advanced
chiefly through necessity. When he must,
he moves, and not before. History shows
that necessity has been truly the parent
Of inventions. AS population increases,
necessity increases as the lmpelhng
force TO action. This country is yet too
sparsely populated, and the struggle for
life too void Of intensity, to rouse in the
breasts of the multitude the fears and
alarms usually born of impending calam-
ity. 1t is not, therefore, ripe for the har-
vest of successful cooperation
against the powerful combinations
of capital, and must wait
tor the maturing Of the requisite
conditions. But if density of population
to create necessity is the prerequisite to
successful cooperation, why, it may be
asked, does not cooperation succeed in
the older sections of the Union and in the
crowded cities that cannot be said to be
sparsely populated? For the reason, it
may be answered, that those populations
are not hemmed in by contracted limits of
empire nor oppressed by the absorption of
the lands through hereditary estates. In
America an immense surplus ofapopula-
ton is ever on the move, while, perhaps,
at least one-half Of the remainder live in
expectation of better homes somewhere
within the limits of our almost bOundless
territory. If one section is over
crowded they can move out, as is the case
in New England, and enter upon
new career in a new section with brighter
prospects of improving their fortunes.
While this great privilege remains to
them, men will scarcely pause to study
the rigid economies proposed by CO.
operation as the condition Of subslsting
in the community. There must be
severer struggle. life must be more diff
cult to maintain, and competence the re-
ward OAly Of the most careful industry
and economy among the masses. This is
the condition of the populations Of the
older countries where cooperation has
proved a blessing to thousands who be-
fore but eked out a miserable existence
under the burden of the combined evils Of
hereditary estates, class legislation, and
the social distinction of caste.

WattersOn Visits David Davis,

In company with Mr.. Henry Watterson
/ made one more political pilgrimage, this
time to the beautiful home of Judge David
Davis, in Bloomington, Ill. l had been
prepared, by Henry's vivid descriptive
powers, for meeting man of remarkable
physique, but | must confess my astOnish-
ment when, in answer to our ring, Mr..
Davis himself came creeping through the
keyhOle to welcome us.
dts way / have" he said, laughing
''when l am in too much haste to unlock
the door"
The dav was too beautiful to desert for
the DarlOrs. so we wandered about the
grounds, where grow, l think, the most
beautiful hedges in Illinois. Under the
shade of tree we passed, and as Mr..
Davis. motioning Henry and myself to
seats on a cast-iron lawn settee, seated
himself carelessly on a swaying spray of
purple-hearted fucbsia, had leisure to
observe him.
A slender man, only redeemed from
emaciation sby the perfect symmetry of
his limbs aud body, with fair curling hair
that dropped about his delicate shoulders
like the escaping tendrils of hayward
vine, faint flush just tinging his bOyish
cheeks, he produced upon me an inn
preston of ETHEREAL lightness, that / half
wondered if the fragile, spirituelle crea-
ture before me were really mortal, or
the spirit of the flower which he had
made his resting place. You could not
call him effeminate, for his figure was
not even the robust development of
healthy woman. He does not appear
weak or in ill-health. He is a visible
Ariel, belonging to the realms of the air as
much as the gaudy butterfly, which he
left our side to chase, and which moved
with a wing scarce Jess light and noise
less than the flying feet of the graceful
statesman who pursued him.
AS we came away, l turned to watch
HIM swiftly climbing a slender, swaying
tree to peep into nest of wrens far out
on a slender branch, and, thinking over
our conversation with this effervescent,
ripping young creature, l said to my
companions
"Henry, l think this is absurd. The
people of the United States do not want
a boy, a child, who chases butterflies and
climbs to look into birds nests, boy who
walks on his hands and turns summer
saults in the parlOr, for President"
"Look here" said Henry, suddenly
looking so systematically wise feared
he had had rush of brains to the head;
look here, there is hidden meaning to
all this tree climbing and butterfly chas-
ing business, and / am surprised that you
newspaper men haven't found it out"

The action of the Georgia Legislature
in the matter of redistricting the State
seems to be meeting with very general
commentator. The Baltimore Sun of
Saturday says:
ssThe action of the Georgia Legislature
in fayOriug an appOrtiOnment bill which
takes no account of party interests, but
has reference simply to cOmpactness in
the makeup Of Congressional districts,
supplies an example by which the Legis-
lature of Pennsylvania would do well to
profit. The Georgia reappOrtlOnment
bill which is now before the Gov
ernOr for approval makes six districts
in which, by the census of. 1880, the col
Ored Outnumber the white voters, the re-
naming four having a white majority.
In these six districts the census shows
cOlOred population Outnumbering the
maiOrities in number of these districts
might have been destroyed had the GeOr-
gia legislators so desired. In one of the
four " white" districts there are
1850 whites to 81, 16S colOred; in an
other, 131, S94 white to 20,S7S colOred.
Here. evidently, the only thing consider
ed was the cOmpactness contemplated by
the constitution. Doubtless the Demo-
cratic majority of the Georgia Legislature
considered that it was better to be right
than to seek party advantage.
To those who are in the habit of
thinking all cOlOred voters neces-
sarily Republicans the magnanimity of
the GeOrgians may appear to be suicidal,
but the GeOrgians themselves evidently
do not consider the census tables the only
data to be consulted in fixing the results
of elections. They probably count upon
a large cOlOred Democratic vote in the
future. Be this as il may, they certainly
manifest their confidence in the ability of
the colOred voters to select proper repre-
sentatives in the national Legislature.

Mr.. Edmunds is, undoubtedly, as we
stated at the time that he was elected
President of the Senate. the one Republi-
can in the country who is universally ac-
ceptable to the party. His intellectual
ability, his great public experience and
knowledge, his absolute integrity, and his

Mr.. Blaine has, undoubtedly, a more en-
thusiastic following within the party. But
to Mr.. Blaine there is also very strong
opposition. The party regard and conf
dence felt for Mr.. Edmunds are universal,
and, should he be nominated, he would
receive the vote of every man who, for
any reason. desires to see the Republican
partv retain power.

The County Drainage.

In 1877 the General Assembly gave this
county a part of the State tax Of the
county for the purpose of draining our
swamps and low lands. The funds were
placed under the control of board known
as the Drainage Commission, com
posed of well known citizens.
The result OF their labOrs can
Sc seen in the improved condition Of the
county. The proposed improvement IN
cluded the widening and cleaning out OF
the canals and bitches on the Springfield
plantation: the drainage Of the bitches TO
the old Confederate batteries, and also,
Of the Tevnac swamp and Cuyler swamp.
The work at the latter place extends
from the head OF Vernon river to a
cuIvert on the Thunderbolt road near
the Catholic Cemetery. This work, that
is. the Cuyler swamp canal, is now about
half done. and has for the past two
years been under the direction of the
County Commissioners. The money
appropriated by the state has not been
sufficient TO continue it. 4 bill is now
before the Legislature TO give a part Of
the state tax of this county for the purpose
wisely begun. 1t is a matter of vital in
terest to this community that the work
OF draining the county should be
continued, and it is to be hoped that the
bill viii be passed without delay, and
additional funds placed IN the hands Of
the Drainage Commission. We under
stand that Governor Mcdaniel, who OPP
posed the bill of lS77-he being member
Of the senate at the time-On
the grounds that it was
not constitutional, is now in favor
of making an appropriation for further
improvements. We also understand that
General TOombs, who is the great eX-
FOUNDER of the present fundamental law
Of the State, sees no objection to giving a
part Of the State tax for the benefit of the
public health. There being no cOnstitu-
tiOnal objections in the way, and the meas
Ure being one which will produce benefits
not only to the county and city, but to the
State, We can see no reason why the bill
should not meet with speedy and favor
able consideration.
