THE mINNEAPoLIs CoOPERs.

There are many who believe that in intelli-
gent co-ope1 alton will be found the solution
of the labor problem which is disturbing this
and other countries, and they point to seve.
raj striking examples of this form of doing
business as illustrations of what can be done.
And there are enough examples of this kind
to greatly encourage those who would like to
see more.
One of the most conspicuous examples of
corporation in manufacturing is that of the
Minneapolis coopers. great many -four
barrels are made in Minneapolis, and up to
1874 they were made by hired coopers who
belonged to labor unions and struck when
they felt like it. In that year a cooperative
establishment was started and it succeeded SO
well that the example was followed and there
are now in Minneapolis ten cooperative
cooper shops, in which 752 men and boys are
employed and a capital of 100000 is invest
ed. The capital is collected by weekly as
sessments upon the men and the profits are
divided semi-annually among the members
on the ratio of earnings. The organization
of the companies is simple. The president is
also foreman and manager, the secretary and
treasurer keeps the books and the superin-
tendent looks after the mechanical depart
ment. If man wants to leave the company
the directors are asked to release him and if
they consent he is paid his share Of the capi-
tai in lump or in installments.
The credit of the ten companies is good
and most of the members of them are good
and orderly citizens with homes of their own.
Within ten years only one cooperative cooper
has been brought into court in Minneapolis
charged with crime. The business is an
enormous one, more than 100000 barrels
having been turned out last year, nearly all
made in the cooperative shops. There is
no such thing as striking and no dissatisfac-
ton with wages. The men are intelligent.
They understand the condition of their bust
ness and when times are not good they, like
other men in business, reduce expenses and
have smaller incomes.
In order to make cooperation successful
there must of course be good management
and intelligence aud good will enough among
the co-eperators to prevent quarrelipg. There
does not seem to be any good reason why the
problems solved by the Minneapolis coopers
should not be as successfully worked out by
intelligent and well disposed laborers in other
branches of business

Horticulture i'm Florida.

The cold wave which swept over Florida
in January, 1885, marked the beginning OF a
new epoch in her development. Before that
time orange culture had been made to adver-
tise the State SO extensively that it had come
to be regarded the all important industry
and thousands even of her Inhabitants looked
upon it as the only one that could be carried
on with profit here. Therefore this killing
frost was regarded the unmitigated disaster.
True, the groves within the orange belt
proper were not seriously damaged, but a
cloud was cast on the title OF the orange to
public confidence, and the result has been
that for the past two years Florida has suf-

An interesting question as to the legality
of marriages performed by a deposed clergy
man has come up in Camden, New Jersey.
Some time before the death of Bishop Stevens
of Philadelphia he deposed the Rev. ]. J..
Sleeper from the Episcopal ministry. New
ertheless Mr.. Sleeper, who resides in Camden,
continued to unite couples in marriage. The
question now is whether under the laws of
New Jersey these marriages are legal. Mr..
Sleeper claims that they are, and in this claim
he seems to be supported by certain High
Church Episcopal clergymen, who say that as
holy orders are indelibls a marriage solemn
lied by deposed priest is valid, although
irregular. The point is also made that many
clergymen Of the Reformed Episcopal church
were deposed from the ministry of the Epis-
copal church, but no one questions their
right to perform marriages.
Bishop Merrill of the Methodist church has
made little sensation by remarking at the
recent conference that at Williamsport, Penn
sylvanis, ''every leading newspaper has a
known Catholic on its staff" and that all
Catholic religious ceremonies and proceedings
SA1sAAS
exclusion of other religious intelligence The
Philadelphia Times, however, declares that
''there is not a leading daily newspaper in
Philadelphia that employs Catholic as a
Catholic on its staff, and there is not known
Catholic on the editorial staff of any of our
leading Philadelphia papers that we know or
have heard of. If there is Catholic or a
Protestant on the staff of any of cur promi
nent dailies of this city who would attempt
to give special preference to the religious in
telligence of his particular sect he would be
promptly dismissed for want of fidelity to his
employer and to his profession" There is
much more sense and truth in this than in
the bishops remark.
