 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 am an old man and it tires nae to write. But I feel as if I must say what so many of my brethren no doubt feel and are full of. I want to express my thanks to Alderman Trowbridge for his noble and high minded conduct Monday night in valiantly opposing the wicked proposition to take popular vote on the question of demolishing the beautiful temple on the Green. It makes my hair stand upright to think of the audac- 1ty of letting the common people vote on such 8 sacred question which it is sacrilege even to raise. That Grecian art structure was erected by our noble ancestors and is now devoted to the sacred charge of preserv- ing our family histories from rust and decay. Why should the common people vote on a question that they can not appreciate because most of them were not town-born and so are utterly ignorant of the need of upholding our old families and preserving the honor of our native town! The plain fact is that the town-born people were mistakenly magnanimous and generous when they first allowed the common people and the emigrants to vote on any question whatever. The government of this town rightfully belongs to the town-b born, and no one else should vote or hold office. So felt proud of Alderman Trowbridge when I saw the noble stand he took in defence of our town born rights. Let us all rally to the support of Alderman Trowbridge and put down the wicked notion that foreigners and emigrants have any right to vote upon the existence Of the roof that keeps the storms from wetting our family histories. Yours in favor of putting down the emigrants and foreigners. TowN-BoRN.

COOPER ALTON.


 Cooperation is the pleasant name of one of the attempts to solve the labor problem toward which many are looking with hope, and not a few experiments in that line have recently been begun, and more will be. We suspect, however, that these experiments will not all work to the entire satisfaction of those concerned, and that there will be trouble in doing business according to this system, there has been under the old sys- tenn. Proft-sharing is a fine thing when there are profits to share, but when it comes to sharing losses it is another matter. And when it is remembered that not less than ninety-fve per cent. of the men who go into business ill this country fail, the idea of the general application of cooperation loses some of it's attractiveness.
 How co operation is sure to work in many cases is well shown by Congressman Whiting of Massachusetts,, who has had little expe- rience in it. He was the principal stock holder in & concern where there were large number of the workmen small holders of stock. Things ran along smoothly for some time. Then they had season that was bad and they found that it was necessary to make an outlay of some $s5, 900 for improved ma chinery in order to meet their competitors. There was only one way to get it, which was by assessment of the stockholders. Then there was howl. The small holders could not see that the investment of further money was for their benefit. Some of them raised the cry of robbery and the result that in order to save the business many of them were bought out. There was similar trouble in another direction. Everything was plain sailing long there were dividends. But the moment there was a bad showing for business they lost the sympathy of the men, who would not permit reduction of wages, and even declared that they preferred to go back to the old method of employment in which they got no share of the profits.
 When workman is fairly paid and well treated, and has no feeling of risk or respon- sibility concerning the business with which he is connected, he is better off than he might be. It is certain that workmen in most branches of business would not have improved their condition much during the last five years by being 'Eco-operators'

Forests Cut Down Yearly to Supply
 Wood for Them This Country
 Ahead.
 From the New York Tribunel
 There were about seventy-five million black lead pencils consumed in this country last year, which would imply that almost every body in the United States used up one en- tirely and whittled another down to stub like dimensions. With the exception of little whitewood that is used for carpenters pencils, cedar, on account of it's peculiar softness, is the only wood employed in this business. A cubic foot of straight grained Florida cedar affords coverings for two gross of leads. The average log of this kind fur nishes about four cubic feet of timber that can be used for this purpose. Allowing twenty five trees to the acre, which is consid cred fair estimate, it follows that forest of twenty-five hundred acres or four square miles is cut down yearly to provide material for the manufacture of this indispensable little factor of modern civilization. But this calculation only takes into account the goods made in this country. It does not allow for the wood that is sent abroad for the same purpose, which nearly equals the quantity used here. Most of the European pencil factories import their cedar from Florida. Hence it would be nearer the truth to say that were all the wood that is required every year in this business standing in the form of 8 forest it would cover an area of seven or eight square miles.
 Considering the number of firms in this country and the old world that are supposed
