Co-operation v.. Competition.

CO-Operation vs.. Competition.
Cooperation says, God blesses me in
blessing you, he blesses You in blessing
me-" Competition says, "God bless me,
but he can't bless me while he blesses
you, but he must damn you to intensity
his blessing to me-"
Vanderbilt voiced tie sentiment of
competition when he said "the public be
damned" He was the impersonation as
well as the greatest living representa-
tive of the competitive. cannibalistic.

What other utterance could emanate
from him than the public be damned.

Another official visit was made to !
charitable Institution whore the inmates
worked UPON crochet shaWls at the rate
|of IS dozen. found that it took q
worker two: days to finish 3 single shawl
which would make the pay about l2}
cents q dav for each worker. On inquir-
ing why the pay was 50 shamefully poor,
i was told that the inmates had to- com.
pete with the labor of the daughters OF
well-to-do farmers in New Jersey, who
eagerly sought the work because they
could do it in leisure moments and make
pin money by sellingit. In thus securing
pin money the young women, who were
surrounded BY home comforts that en-
abled them to make the crocheting a
sort of q pastime for leisure hours, had
forced the standard of those who were
forced to do the the work for q living
down to the starvation point
The inspection Of the. boarding
houses occupied by working women de-
veloped the fact that while thers were
very many improvements needed, and
many Of the ordinary comforts Of life
wanting, still, as a whole, the condition
of dwellings was fair. The chief evil is
that the houses are oyercrowded. There
are lodgings on the east side Of town in
tended for the accommodation Of poor
women who are out Of employment. A
bed can be got for Is cents night, but
the condition of the buildingl shocking.
They are grossly oyercrowded, and 80,
badly ventilated that it is matter Of won
derment how human life can. be main
tanned within the walls. In one such
lodging house, saw seven beds crowded
into room that would have still been
overcrowded had the number been re-
duced to two"
How do the wages of the working
women compare with those of men7"
Women do not make half as much
as men. Seamstressss and shirt makers
are the lowest in point Of pay in the
scale. The commission has found that
even where the work is exactly Of the
same kind as that done by men, and
equally well done, the women do not get
nearly as much as the men do. Wehave
found that workingmen themselves con-
denim this condition Of affairs and want
it changed. They testify that they would
like law on the statute books lessening
the hours that woman have to work,
and providing that no child under six
teen years should be employed IN facto-
ries. They are Of the opinion that the
present limit Of fourteen years isn't
sufficient to protect the health and lives

Unearthing a M,ser's Hoard.

New YORK, Aug. GA special from
Mattawan. N. j.. tells the following re
markable story Of a miser who is dying al
that place. John Van Schanck, an old
miser who lives near here, having had
two paralytic shocks and believing he was
dying, sent for Judge Spader. Schanck
is u years old, and has. always lived in
the same house. 1t is made of old fash
Toned shingles; every hole in the shingles
was made with a gimlet, and the nails are
clinched on the other side. The stains
leading from the first to the second floor
are cut out Of a solid tree. Every picket
is fastened to a rail with a nut and bolt,
&C hat it is impossible TO break one. The
fence was put up by the miser five years
ago so that no one could intrude on his
grounds. For five years Schanck has de
clined to see or to permit any one to en-
ter. He lived on bread and potatoes.
Once a year he killed a tat pig and made
that last him for months. The miser
spent money in but one way. He had a
perfect craze for old muskets and
pistols. 1t was Il curious sight that
greeted Judge Spader and Lafayette and
Charles Conover when they entered the
house. Judge SpAder says there were
thirty four muskets and seven big army
pistols-altogether about 100 firearms OF
different kinds. The miser was lying on
his bed MORALLY Ill. He said he had
made a will, which was to be opened after
his death. An old muske barrel was
found filed with silver and gold coins
worth $500. A stocking full Of green
backs was found in the garnet, and in an
ancient bureau drawer, along with a lot Of
old iron, were 81, 900 in gold and silver,
and in a rickety washstand drawer was a
pile of notes much soiled. tied with a
tarred rope. They aggregated : 5000
Before the search was ended last night
they discovered $50, 900 secreted in various
parts of the house. Two men remained
all night with the old man, and this morn
ing they renewed the search. 1t is
doubtful whether the miser will live the
day out. Great curiosity is expressed as
to the will. 1t is believed Schanck drew
IL himself

LONDON, Aug. 27.-Gladstone's bro

to day. 1t contains fifty three pages and
is similar in the excellence Of Its style to
Gladstone's pamphlet on Bulgarian afro
cities. At the outset Mr.. Gladstone com
pares it with the apology he wrote on his
change of attitude regarding the Irish
church. But" he continues, in the
present case l have no such change to in
dictate, but haye only to point out the
mode in which my language aud conduct
were governed by uniformity of principle.

by which the great question Of autonomy
for ireland has been brought to the stage

Of j. Harris Rogers to Attorney General
Garland's cross bill in the suit OF the for

PENDANTS prayer TOR the dissolution of
the Pan Electric Telephone company.
The respondent denies that he ever sold

forth in Garland answer and pronounces

CLEVELAND. O., Aug. 27.-The An
archists OF this city held a so called indig-
nation meeting last Wednesday night,
and protested in the most violent terms
against the sentence of death passed
AGAINST the seven Anarchists of Chicago.
Excitement ran high. The 'Marseillaise'

the number, declared that perhaps
many people in Chicago and possibly
every member Of the jury will bite the
dust before the convicted Anarchists are
hung. Chris Saam, the leader of the
Cleveland anarchists advised his hearers

would be ushered in on the day they were

The Weeks Cattle Market.

f~~s@& DA'lot> v m
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Shipping cattle
have iuled dull and slow al the week.
Buyers each day demanded lower prices
and hammered" the market persistentiy.
Receipts were large, and prices slowly set
tied back. Choice beeves were scarce,
but there was a world Of fair to good steers
here each day, and the decline was the
heaviest in that class. For such cattle rs
sold below "a. 50 there was almost no com
petition. and some statesmen complained
that they could not get anybody to even
bid on inferior to hair lean and rough ma
tives. Even the superior grades Of beef
cattle, which did not sell much lower, sold
very slowly because there has been such q
liberal assortment for buyers to select
from. The average decline in quotations
for the week is about l5(920c, and out
side a few fancy beeves, which combined
both fat and good quality, all classes
shared in the loss. Late sales ranged at
about So. 4O(a3.6O for common, grassy
droves, to IS. 10 for extra. The highest
price of the week was made on Tuesday,
when one prime steer weighing 1860
pounds fetched IS. so. A large drove OF
Kansas steers, early In the week, sold at
IS. 05. Shippers generally filed their or
ders at "a. 5O(95 0O, and dressed beef men
got what they wanted at about 50 400
4.S0. Colorado cattle averaging LII
pounds brought So rs, while some aver
aging 500 fetched 81 IS.
Butchers stuff has declined with ship
p ing cattle The best of the offerings
have sold very slowly, but not much
lower. while poor grades we're to be had
at the lowest prices of the year. Toward
the last numerous sales Of old cows and
bulls were made at 81. 5Vt9 rs, and it
took pretty decent ones to bring better
than 81 Is. Some COWS sold as high as
50. 25tG3. so, but they were very fine
Canning cows went mostly at $2.25(9
ESQ
Stockers and feeders have ruled very
quiet, with 5 les so scattering that no i'm
poItant change in prices can be noted.
Good feeding cattle were bought prin.
cipally IN Eastern account
Range cattle have been IN large supply
and lower. Gamers and dressed beef
shippers bought freely, but they took ad.
vantage OF the overstocked condition of
the market and insisted upon concessions.
Indian cattle Of It's to $50 lbs went at
81 1908 GU, and Texans averaging l,0S0
lbs brought So. IS, a large drove of Wy
omings averaging l,057 lbs sold at 50 81.
