now nearly dozen cooperative shops in and about
New-York City. The South Ncrwalk hatters have
two cooperative factories in operation, and have
opened rerail stores here and 10 Brooklyn. There
are two cooperative printing offices IN the city
cooperative cigar factory. and cooperative shoe
factory. The shirt makers who we're recently on
strike are making arrangements to start IN on the
cooperative plan, and other trades are following
in the path. The same state of affairs exists
in other parts Of tho country. cooperative coal
mine is in operation in one of the Southwestern
States The Knights OF Labor have wisely estab-
lshed cooperation as one of their cardinal prnci-
PIES and announce their determination to encourage
it by every means in their power wherever it is
practicable.
The State Senate did credItabe act yesterday
in ordering TO q third reading Mr. Daggetts bill pro-
vlding for per capita distribution among Brooklyn
institutions of its charitable funds 1t is of the
best bills concerning that city yet introduced, and
it ought by all means 10 pass both houses The
corporation tax BILL which was also fay0rably con-
sidered, is a good measure, not loaded down by
unwise amendments. The Senate ought to proceed
with caution in changing such bill after 1t has
been carefully prepared by the State authorities

The Capitol Appropriation bill was further
amended in the State Senate yesterday, apparently

the Democrats. 1t now provides for an Advisory
Commission to consist of the Governor, Attorney

the commission is made up, so long as the work on
the building is rescued from the control of Boss
Manulng's henchmen That will be accomplished
by the provision which makes superintendent Per-
rvs tenure Of office secure, and which abolishes the
Office OF deputy superintendent thus getting rid OF
the Objectionable person who now ellis that place.
If the Superintendent is allowed to carry on the
work without political interference of any kind, he
will doubtless do it in n satisfactory manner. But
the work ought TO be doue by contract, and then
there would be an end OF the scandals which have
heretofore disgraced the management. As TO the
100000 appropriated, it is to be hoped that the
sum will not be increased. If anything, it should
be reduced.

The remarkable announcement appears IN the
Administration organ, The IOst that the President
proposes hereafter to reserve day in the week
when he will not any callers because, former
Presidents have found it necessary to have day

belief so studiously sought to be forced on them
that the President was not TO be Ike Jther Pres-

man. after all.
