@@ The following is from the last annual rC port of the Massachusetts Labor Commis- S1-S6oek -dwhiag By workfne1l, with paftici- patton in management, gives training in prudence, economy and business affairs. It changes the whole current of the work CTS thought and feelings, and economic conduct. He ceases to think of himself as a worker standing over against the capi- isbemploy CT in an. aptago goniatic relation. He thinks of himself always as proprie tor and dignifes himself as such, and as such puts new zest into his work. The men thst succeed in, co-operAtion are the kind of men that generatl0n ago, bdkore the advent of great corporations, succesded as independent employers oIfa small scale character and energy, and with qualitica- tions for business management. They Ecannot hope to-day with the limited capi- tal at their command, to compete success
 fully in manufacturing, as individuals.
 But by combining theirzregources and tai
 ents they may occupy as co-operators an
 industrial position of considerable import ance. There is 8 crude popular concepr tion ofsGS-0peratf6n a9 as plan sto got rid of the employer and the wages syst=m. The workers are supposed to employ a mana ger to be sH2tieots to tlleir will, L,Eand, ,M nec- essary, hire capital at usual rates of inter- est. Then, pooling their. services, they are to divide among themselves whatever profit there may be after fixed charges are paid. This scheme is purely visionary and utterly impracticable. Workers can not waittill an indefinite future fer Etheir rewafdg nsithef Gau ftlsey run the risk of getting no reward at all. They must be guaranteed something. to be paid at ire quent intervals, and the only party that eensso Igaerantee is the capitalist employer, who alone can run risks and wait indef- nitely for rewards. The capitalist employ CT may be an association of the workers themselves, but iEfs none the less an en- ployer, & moral personality, possessing all the powers over individual workers that an individual employer would have. The oreaeGci6nk and Aprosperous members be- come inevitably the controlling power in the association, and they will not consent to divide profits irrespectively of the value of services or to guarahtee etnpleymeat to inefficient members. Industrial partner ship instituted by capitalist employers, and cooperation instituted by capital own ing workmen, work toward 1.-the 1sa1heIre- suit from different directions. Each has it's own proper field and each will probably acquire increasing prominence in social economy. ~A E ~

DELIVERED ACCORDING TO CONTRACT. = A. G. Lebroke, of Foxcroft, once swapped an old wagon with Farmer Graves for four cords of wood. Graves signed a contract written by Lebroke, to the effect that Graves should deliver Lebroke four cords of merchantable wood Where the wood should be delivered was not stated
 Many months went by and Bebroke re- ceived no wood. Happening in Guilford, he asked the old man about it.
 "Oh, yes," said Graves, "T've cut your wood, and its as nice lot of wood as ever you saw. You just come and look at it.
 He took Lebroke into the woods and showed him four cords of excellent cord wood, piled up in the forest.
 "There, Squire Lebroke," said he, II deliver that wood to you" Turning to Q neighbor who had accompanied him, he added, And want you to witness that I deliver this wook to Mir. Lebroke."
 The senator had to hire teamster to haul the wood to Foxcroft. He says it was the first and only time he ever was beaten on a contract that he wrote himself.

At the close of the war, when on some festive occasion objection was made in Mir. Lincoln's presence to the playing of "Dixie" by band, the president said the selection was all right We had captured the tune as we'll as the whole confederacy, and we could play it all that we wanted to. The same thing is true of Jef Davis. We captured him, too. He belongs to us. He has lasted longer than anybody ex- pected that he would, but we own him, and as long as we keep him on hand we must expect to hear from him once in awhile The union which he sought to destroy is stronger by reason of his at- tempt than it would have been if it hnd never been made. Having saved him at time when he might have been executed, the country is experiencing nothing more serious from its possession of him than might have been anticipated.

COLUMBUS, May 6.-The Senate convened at 10 o'clock with the seventeen Republicans and one Democrat, Van Cleaf, in their seats. An effort was made to have the journal of yesterday read, but Senator Fassett raised the point of order that being under call this could not be done. After good deal of deliberation it was moved that the chair appoint additional sergeants- at-arms to as- sist in hunting up the missing Senators. It is the opinion of leading lawyers of both parties that there is no. authority for such a movement. Despite the fact that the body was under call the yeas and nays were taken on this motion and it was declared carried by F to l. Kennedy wanted Sergeant-at- Arms Negley to name some assistants, but he refused saying he had no authority and would not take the responsibility. No ap- pointments have as yet been made.
