the ennobling characteristics of justice,
order and moral virtue.
1t is right here in this field of effort and
human development which raises man
above the brute, that the necessity for
cooperative effort comes in. Two men
can do more than one; ten can do more
than five, and so on indefinitely SO long
as the rules of addition and multiplica-
tion hold good, so long can the power of
man to overcome antagonistic forces
around him be augmented by the cooper
ative effort of numbers.
Thus we make it mathematically evi-
dent that cooperation is nOfOOPs dream.
And thus we show that it is not only a
safe road to travel, but it is the road to
success.
But the question before every commun-
ity is, how can we use this power for our
benefit? The Florida Orange Growers
Union has undertaken to answer this
questin for the people OF Florida, in
the matter of selling and hand
ling the products of hersoil, especially her
fruits and vegetables, for which she must
of necessity find market at the North,
and returns for which have been unsatis-
factory in the past The wise heads of
the State have figured it out that rea-
sonable probability exists that much bet
ter results may berealized in this business
by cooperative combination of all per-
sons interested in it, with the view of in
stituting and sustaining systematic
method of forwarding these goods, so dis
to not overstOck the market at any one
time; also system of selling so as to in
vite competition among buyers, instead
of making us our own competitors as we
have been in the past. And also to insti-
tute power among the shippers able to
cope with the transportation companies
in obtaining our rights under the law,
and whose patronage it will be to their
interest to seek. Now we submit to the
people of Florida that the imperative re-
quirements of the hour is to organize

Organize More Local Unions.

SO auspiciously and hopefully, and upon
a plan which contemplates in it's accom-.
plishment the cooperation OF every indi-
vidual orange grower throughout the
State, the movers of this enterprise are
anxious to know what those same indi-
vidual growers are dong or are going to
do about it.
Now, brothers, doing means acting, and
the particular action called for first in
this work is to organize the orange grow
ing sections into sub or local divisions
as often as convenient, and establish con,
nection and ready communication with
the head centre.
The head centre in this organization is
all important, as much SO as the head of
your body to direct the hands, while the
the local divisions are as important as
the hands to support the head.
Nature teaches us the necessity of unit
ing several faculties together and binding
them by organic laws to cooperate With
each other in accomplishing the higher
developments of organic life. Physical or
ganizations are the work of the Creator,
and reflect His wisdom; while social or
ganization, whetherfor pleasure or profit,
is the work of man, and we will find that
the best we can do is to copy the wisdom
of the all-wise Creator for cooperative
methods, remembering that when we deal
with rigid laws il we fail to comply with
them the result is an abortion, a failure or
a monstrosity. A specimen of such mon
strosity is shown in the Chicago Anarch-
lists.
Yet while we find that it is possible for
such a monster to be generated and
attempt to stalk the land, while some
may say that he escaped from cO-opera-
tive stables (if you will allow the express
sion); yet it proves no more against le
gitimate cooperative methods and pur-
poses than does the fact that the same
organic laws may produce tiger or
domestic cat out of the same food. In
the cooperative field good or evil are the
result of proper compliance with natures
laws governing social life. Society and
civil governments are grand cooperative
phenomenas, developed and systemized
by human reason-actuated by thehigher
elements of the mind and guided by expert
ence, having for their object the good of
all.
Justice, which is one of the all-pervad-
ing attributes of Diety, declares that
among all intelligent beings who stand
upon the sameplane OF development there
shall be equal rights to the use of natures
bounties, so far ais she bestOws them with
out our effort, and equal privileges in the
acquisition and enjoyment of all such
benefits as she bestows through our ef-
forts 1t will be, observed that the noble
attribute of fjustice could find no place or
field for action if there was but one indi-
vidual man upon the earth. It is,sthere-
fore, the socializing power which declares
that among multiplied individuals there
shall be equal rights and enioyments
But in the field of benefits which grow
out of human efforts, her voice is that
equal reward, shall only follow equal eff
fort. 1t is evident that one man upon the
earth could never subdue the savagery of
nature; hence the command to be fruitful

Washington Letter. Secretary
Noble is understood to be engaged in
considering the report of the Com
mission which recently investigated
the Pension office, and many rumors
are flying around as to what his ac-
ton will be. Democrats insist that
the Secretary will ask for Commits
sioner Tanners resignation, and so
persistent are they that many repub-
licans have been convinced that Tan
ner Will go. I have spent much time
in investigating this rumor and have
no hesitation in saying that there is
not the slightest foundation for it.
Eyer since the first day that MI. Tan
ner took charge of the Pension office
there has been a systematic and per-
sistent fight made against him by the
democratic and mug wump press, and
for no known reason in the world ex-
| cept his well known friendship and
sympathy for the ex-union soldier,
and I am perfectly satisfied that the
President will never allow himself to
be Influenced by such opposition.
Unless something more than is now
known shall transpire, Commissioner
Tanner will remain in charge of the
Pension Office during the present adj
ministratiop.
1t is likely that the contractors who
built the cruiser Charleston will have
to pay a penalty of $4,000, on ac-
count of a deficiency in the horse
power contracted for. In view of the
vessel being in other respects salts
factory, it is probable that the con-
tractors will ask Congress to relieve
them of penalty.
A general conference of the Super
intendents in railway Mail Service
has been in session at the Post Office
department this week. The confer
ence is attended by Superintendent
from all over the country, and is held
to promote the efficiency of the rail-
way Mail Service. Speeches have
been made by Postmaster General
Wannamaker, his assistants and
General Superintendent Bell. A
similar conference was held eight
years ago and great benefits were de-
rived therefrom. It is impossible to
improve this service too much.
The southern republican members
of the House will vote for no candi-
date for speaker, that will not pledge
himself to endeavor to secure the pas
sage of a bill repealling the tobacco
tax law.
The democrats have been badly dis
appointed by John M. Langston, the
colored man upon whom they relied
to keep the colored vote of the fourth
district of Virginia (black belt) away
from Malone. Langston is out in a
letter saying that heis a republican,
and will support the nominees of his
party.
