SOCIALIsTIC PROBLEM.

In closing a former communication on
this subject promised to describe some of
the attempts that are now making to narrow
the gulf that yawns between labor and
capital. In doing so l leave out of view
trades unions as being chiefly defensive
organizations rather than the embodiment
of principles whose general adoption wonld
tend to solve the problem. There are two
movements. one originating on the side of
labor, the other OH the side of capital, that
are now on trial and are thought to point
the way to a peaceful solution of this ques-
ton. The one is known as cooperation,
the other as prOfitsharing. In describing
these schemes l shall address myself to
those who have given little attention to
the general subject rather than to those
who have studied it in all its bearings.
Cooperation, in its economic meaning, de-
scribes that movement among wagework-
ers which aims to combine laboring men
into mutual benefit associations for the own
ing and conducting of business, the profits
of which shall accrue to the members of
the respective associations. If the com
pany is organized for production, the men,
bers are at once owners and operatives; if
for distribution, portion of the profits
goes toward paying fair rate of interest
on the capital. the remainder is distributed
among the purchasers in proportion to the
amount bought during the year. Cooper
alton, in all its forms, may be found in this
and other countries, but from some cause,
| perhaps the peculiar genius of the people,
each country has one form that is PROM
inent That which is most conspic-
uous in Germany is "Co-operative
Credit" under the form of peoples banks.
! In 1879 there were nearly 2, 900 such banks.
with membership of 1000, 900, owning a
capital of S42, 500, 900. In this country,
loan and building associations have had a
prominent place in the movement. In the
city of Philadelphia, they have been a
marked success. 1t is estimated that they
| have been the means of leading wagework-
ers to save $1,000, 900, which has made
10000 of them owners of real estate. In
Great Britain this movement has assumed
the form of cooperative distribution. In
other words, laboring men own and operate
some fifteen hundred stores, such as gro
Gerry, dry goods, shoe, baking and butcher
shops. This method of mitigating the con-
dition of the wageworker has been stead
lily growing in favor for nearly half cen.
| fury.
''Co-operative production has not beer
so successful as the above-named forms
owing, no doubt to the fact that at The
present time only large establishments cal
succeed, since the increased division O.
labor makes it necessary to employ large
force of men. and mechanical inventions
have forced producers to use many and ex
pensive machines. and wageworkers have
not the means to found such factories. Tit
cooperative movement has done and is do

went ashore on the rocks off Trail island a

GOOD NIGHT.

The tales are told, the songs are sung,
The evening romp Is over,
And up the nursery stairs they climb,
With little buzzing tongues that chime
Like bees among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Are full Of browning fancies;
From song and tale and make believe
A wondrous web of dreams they weave
And any child romances.
The starry night is fair without;
The new moon rises slowly;
The nursery lamp is burning faint;
Each white-robed like little saint,
Their prayers they murmer slowly.
Good night! The tired heads are still,
On pillows soft reposing;
The dim and dizzy mist Of sleep
About their thoughts begin to creep,
Their drowsy eyes are closing.
Good night! While through the silent air
The moonbeams pale are streaming;
They drift from daylight's noisy shore,
Blow out the light and shut the door,
And leave them to their dreaming.

very trivial nature, but in WASH
ingt0n, with its burning jealousies
regarding official station, it is very likely
to become serious matter, as a memorable
social contest did once before under
former administration. But rarely the la
dies of the cabinet seem to have right and
reason upon their side. Occupying, as they
do, positions In which they are expected to
devote more than the ordinary time and at
tention to what almost becomes business
of entertaining, they have less time for the
smaller ceremonals which are so rigidly
observed by people of mole leisure. AS
they disclaim any assumption of privileges
on any other score beyond that Of great
press of other more important duties, the
justice of their position should be admitted
gracefully

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-Schaefer and Slos-

end of the fifteenth inning was Slossen 215,
Schaefer 1872. Schaefer showed in front
again at the end of his seventeenth PIT to
215, but only for moment. as Slosson fol-
lowed with run of IS. In his nineteenth
Schaefer put together 81 and again was in
front, 272 to 245. Slosson kept up the see
saw with 70. and now the call was Slosson
1874, Schaefer 279. Slosson was now play
ing steadily and well, and run OF 80 in
his twenty-irst made the totals 400 to 2SG
in his favor. In his next inning he
missed an easy carom at 20 and
left the balls we'll for Schaefer,
who frozed at 15, but counted with masst
out and back. He kept on with beautiful
nursing and position play. but at 81 lost
the rail by mis-cue. He soon got it back,
however, and went along at beautiful
gait until he stopped at 1873 on long bank
shot which he had to play to get the balls
out of balk. Scores: Schaefer AT, Slos-
son 431. The balls were left grouped for
Slosson, who responded with % and was
again in the lead. Schaefer got keyed up

run of 10, which ended with his being

Schaefer, who in his twenty-sixth ran ~.

recognition of the fact. The Montreal Wit

Whaling Bark Lost.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Secretary Man.
ming has received the following dispatch
from Senator Fair, dated San Francisco:
The American whaling bark Amethyst, of
this port. is supposed to have been lost on
her way from the Arctic ocean. The last
ship to arrive thinks she got down to Ben
ring sea. The Amethyst has on board a
crew Of forty men. If the ship has been
lost ON the passage down, the crew may
have got ON shore ON some of the islands of
the Behring sea, in which case. unless as
sstance is rendered Immediately, they will
freeze to death. A petition from the
owners and masters of the whaling fleet has
been forwarded to you by mail, imploring
you to send up a relief and search party.
Will you send such party Immediately?
In case the Amethyst arrives l will tele-
graph you promptly that you may counter
mand orders. Promptly on receipt of the
dispatch at the treasury, kilograms were
sent to experienced officers Of the revenue
marine at San Francisco, asking for in
formation as to the probable condition of
tine ice in Behring sea, but answers have
not yet been received. The prevailing
opinion among the treasury officials is that
it would be impracticable to send out a
search party at this season, as there is no
vessel IN possession OF the government
strong enough to battle with the Arctic ice
in winter. The revenue marine steamer
Corwin, a vessel that has heretofore been
remarkably successful in Arctic work, is
now at San Francisco, and if it is regarded
as feasible to make the search, she would
undoubtedly be selected for that duty. If
the advices received from San Francisco are
favorable to the undertaking, the matter
will be laid before the president for his de-
