COOPERATION ON a GRAND SCALE.
JOHN JARRETT, ex.President OF the
Amalgamated Association, and ANDREW
CARNEGIE, the great iron and stel manu-
facturer, are sSid to be engaged in prepar'
ing great scheme of cooperation TOR the
benefit of the workingmen Of the country.
Savings banks, cooperative stores, systems
of distribution, manufacturing establish
ments, &c, are to be formed throughout
the country as soon as possible. 1t said
to be the intention to form large central
store and savings bank next fsll, the stock
holders sll to be Workingmen and no man
to hold more than $500 of stock. After
this has been tried, the stores are to be ex
tended, building and loan associations are
to be formed, and in time, manufactures
of various kinds established.
Mr.. CARNEGIE, through an article he
lately contributed to the Forum, says that
the cooperative plan is the theoretically
correct one, and that as soon as the peo'
pie are educated up to that point it should
De adopted, but he expresses the opinion
that the obstacles ct present are too
great for its success and suggests the slid
ing scale of wages as proper forerunner
of cooperation. But the crying need of
some vigorous measure to deal with the
labor problem has perhaps somewhat mod.
fled his views and induced him to give
this contemplated gigantic enterprise his
support.
Though the obstacles against co-opers
ton have in most cases made it failure
yet with such men as Messrs. CARNEGIE
and JARRETT supporting the proposed
plan, it certainly ought to succeed, if sue
cess is possible. There would be millions
of wealth joined with great experience to
support it. Whether the enterprise would
fall to pieces, when its leaders are gone,
like other cooperative concerns have done,
is q question. This will certainly be
vast experiment. But if it succeeds, a
great problem in our industrial system will

ATTORNEY G Observation-Disclosures TIES
TIMONY.

Notwithstanding the fact that Attorney
General GARLAND showed by bis testimony
before the telephone investigating commit
zee that his connection with the Psn-Eiec'
trio Company was only such as in bust
ness enterprise-just as many of our best
Senators and Representatives are engaged
some newspapers of the country are still
disposed to hang on to their old state
ments. Their old opinions die hard.
Mr.. GARLAND gave clearand full state
ment of the matter. No shares were given
to him. Five or six persons had come to-
gether for the organization of q company;
they had made assessments, the first move
being to give q note for 81 900, which was
followed by assessments Of $50 or 500
each He did not regard the inventions as
having any marketable value, the COM
psny was to establish their utility and put
them on the market.
When asked II he had ever thought OF
using bis official position 10 assist bis COM
psny he replied: Not at all, fl had
been q private citizen could have done
much better than when in office" He
added that be had no more idea Of using
official influence than of jumping into the
Potomac river with milestone around his
neck. The company was simply an un-
derisking by half q dozen impecunious
gentlemen. They had never tried to boom
the business and scatter stock upon the
country"
When asked if he had ever done any
thing since he has been Attorney General
10 increase the value of the stock he said
II cannot call TO mind sny thought, action
or word OF mine since | have become At
torney General that is calculated in the re-
hottest degree to increase the value Of that
stock or enhance its value in any way. l
have not been at a meeting and have had
no conference with the gentlemen connect,
ed with it at all.
His statements show that all his actions
in the matter have been entirely legitimate.
It is, ofcourse, unfortunate that pretext
has been furnished for attacks from his Ell,
emies, but no dishonesty can be attached to
his actions. II officials are to be sdjudged
dishonest on such pretext, many OF our
best Senators and Representatives will have
to fall beneath the rule.

tended to embrace the whole Indian terri
tory and throw open tor settlement at

the greater part Of this is to be opened up
as coon az the tribes can be moved to the

of the western States are very much IN

MORE ECONOMY NEEDED.

Council, at its last meeting, passed the
annual levy ordinance, fixing the city tax
at so cents on each 500 Of property and
placing the levy for improvement of streets,
etc, at 10 cents on each 800, making the
city tax the same as last year.
This rate is rather unexpected by many
of the taxpayers Of the city, although
Council voted in favor of it. so near
unaminity. 1t should be borne in mind that
the revenues of the city are considerably
greater than they we're two years ago.
Prior 10 the negotiation of the recent losn
the capitol and Lis" loaus required
$5l 900 Annually out OF the gen
eral treasury for the payment OF bones
and interest. Now the residue OF those
debts are absorbed by the new loan, the
bonds and interest on which is provided for
out of the receipts Of the Gas and Water
Board4 Under the circumstance the
Council could have reduced the general
levy ten cents and still had $4,000 or
more in her Golfers than formerly.
When we consider the great depression
in business and shrinkage in value Of prop
erty since last year, the levy seems still
greater. While values have declined, the
assessed values have remained nearly the
same and there is much property now in the
city, which would not bring its assessed
value if put up for sale. 1t looks reason
able that on account Of these things taxes
ought to have been reduced.
To do this, of course municipal expenses
would have to be cut down somewhat and
more economy used. But when our citi-
zeus have, in these close times. to econO-
mize so much in order to make both ends
meet, why should not our Council econo-
mize also2 Any other condition looks IN.
reasonable and ubEair. If the city taxes
are kept at the same figure during the hard
times, it then at least looks but Just that
the prices OF water and gas be reduced.

JUDGE LYNCH.
An Ohio Man Hanged 10 an Electric Pole,

At Eaton, Ohio, William Mussel was
jailed on the 2lst. His crime was the
killing OF Daniel Christmau, an aged an re-
spected farmer living near Eaton. and the
ATTEMPTED killing of Mrs. Christman on the
night OF Dec. Z. Muss,l had been employ.
ed that day by Christman to do some
work. and after going to bed at night got
up and went out. Christman becoming
anxious went out after him. Mrs. Christ.
man then saw Mussel strike her husband
dead with an ak. He came to the house
and beating her to insensibility, robbed
the house OF a few dollars, set the bed
on fire and fled. Mrs. Christman recover.
ed and Pot out the fire.
On arriving at the jail in Eaton, there
was crowd of 500 men yelling Kill
him, " shoot him." rush was made for
the prisoner, but the officers drew reyolv.
ers and kept the mob back, but at night
citizens gathered in body in the court
house and assaulting the Jail broke in and
took out Mussel, and at S:15 had his dead
body dangling from an electric light pole
in front OF the court house. There was an
uncomfortable spirit in the crowd that
overwhelmed entirely the efforts OF the Off
GERS to protect the prisoner. A plan had
been made to remove Mussel to some 9th
er Jail, but the mob gathered and acted be-
fore it could be carried out.
The jail doors were broken and the leaders
were quickly in Mussers cell. He answered
to his name, but when asked il he had
killed Christman denied it. He refused to
say anything further, but said, If you arc
going to hang me be quick about it, The
men sent for some one to identity him. and
this being done, a rope was put on his
neck, and he was led to the electric light
tower in the principal part OF the town
where he was given au opportunity to con
Tess. He declared his innocence, and asked
that mis- body be buried and that his coat
and letters be given to his vile. The lead
err then gave the order to pull the rope, one
end of which had been thrown over a beam
and was in the hands OF several stalwart
men. Mussei again said he was innocent
Pull the roper' was the order, and in an
instant his body WAS dangling in the air.

GAVE WAY TO MS WIFE.


WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Dec Co.
Gen. Gogan's home life here in Washington
has generally been of the pleasaatest char
acter. For the first ten years of his SEN
atorial life hele he lived at boarding house.
as his means were such that he could not
afford to take a suitable house and entertain
as became senator OF his prominence.
For four or five years previ-
GUS to his last election he
and Mrs Logan occupied u suite
of room at a well known house on Twelfth
street There were among other guests sev-
eral congressmen's daughters, and the kind
ness of the general and Mrs Logan to rhese
young people are frequently spoken
of. Mrs Logan took many of them
under har care and initiated them into
Washington life carefully and and with dis
cretion. She was idolized by all the young
girls with whom she came in contact As a
consequence of this boarding house expert
ence the home life of the senator
and Mrs Logan has been somewhat
well known to all their friends and
the whole history of the generals success in
life is attributed to their mutual respect for
and reliance upon each other. In all things
Gen Logan gave way to his wife. She with
him was always supreme, and no matter
how logged and bitter his mood, word
from her would quiet him IN a moment
