Another Word About Cooperation

Another Word About Cooperation.
A workingman writes to The JER-
sEY CRY NEWS concerning the edi-
torial in yesterdays issue, headed
Successful Cooperation" The let
ter win be found in another column.
The writer is a man of intelligence,
but he is mistaken in his views. He
is also somewhat confused in his
definitions. Scientific Socialism, So
called, is Anarchy and nothing else.
It means absolute individualism; and
instead of contemplating the control
ofthe means of production blythe State,
it looks to the abolition of the State
itself. Undoubtedly the leader of
such Thought in this country is BEN
jamin R. Tucker, of Boston. His
paper, Liberty, is an organ of anarchy.
1t is not the anarchy of John Most,
for it condemns all violent methods.
Its supporters recognize that moral
suasion-or rather mental suasion-is
the only force that car be used in
bringing about such a reform" /.
The governmental system of 'sWork-
ingman' is properly called State
Socialism. 1t is not a harmless i'm
possibility like the Scientific Social
ism, or Anarchy, of Mr.. Tucker, but a
condition of affairs which might be
brought about in a few years if
begging Workingman's pardon-there
were anything whateverto recommend
it. But there isn't. If there were
but two alternatives ON earth, State
Socialism and Plutocracy, the intel
ligent person would split the differ
ence and choose the grave. There are
equal possibilities of oppression in
them.
To say that cooperation is a good
thing and should be encouraged is
very different from saying that we
should all be obliged to cooperate,
whether we want to or not. That is
what State Socialism means, and we
say that the possibilities of a wise CO.
operation turn the mind away from
that which would be unwise. The
quotation from the cable despatch,
to which Workingman objects, was
endorsed by us in the spirit, but not
in the letter. No doubt the writer of
it meant bloody violence when he said
Anarchy, and the Commune
when he said Socialism. Not
everybody realizes that even
cranky governmental notions have
developed in the course of years. And
yet the wise course is moderation, and
we repeat that such exhibitions as
this of cooperative products in Lon
don, are principally valuable because
they show the workingman is, after
all, able to work out his own saliva.
ton by no dangerous means. The
cooperative manufacturing idea
is but one of a hundred thou
sand possible roads by which
the army OF the people can march out
from such bondage as exists. If good
results come in England they are ten
times as easily won over here, and not
a single letter of the Constitution of
the United States needs to be changed
in order that our form of government
may be a help to every individual en-
deavor. ssa8

The following tough and strange
story comes from Burlington
A most distressing case of restored
vitality has occurred here. A we'll
known local physician has been trying
the much-heralded ''elixir Of life" on
Jasper Grouse, a decrepit resident oil
e~ighty-two years of age. Jasper's body
was weak, but his mind was vigorous.
In using the ''elixir of life as is we'll
known, the medical man takes a GER
tain part of the animal and inJects IL,
or a liquid made from 1t, into the
veins OF the patient
Jasper has been treated daily for
some months. In this instance the
physician used a portion OF q rabbit.
At first no change took place in Jas
per's condition. Gradually, however,
as the weeks went on it was noticed
that the old mans form grew larger,
his step more steady and his eyes
brighter. Jasper appeared to be grow
ing backwards. Instead of getting
older and more broken down he was
daily recovering his lost youth. The
physician was delighted and con-
tinued injecting the elixir OF life into
the old mans now vigorous veins.
Gradually, however, some strange
changes We're seen in the old man. he
left off eating meat and took to q yege-
table diet-lettuce, cabbage leaves,
clover, etc, which he deyoured raw
with avidity, became almost his sole
diet. At the same time his mode OF
eating was changed. He nibbled at
the leaf like a rabbit. The old mans
sunken orbs also grew large and
bright. These things passed almost
hnnoticed at first, but gradually they
grew more pronounced. Other pecui1-
arities also became noticeable.
The feeble walk grew more sprinSy,
so much so that at present Jaspers
mode of procedure is all spring. The
springy walk has gradually turned
into the Jump, jump of the rabbit.
As Jasper grew stronger physically
his once sound mind became more
feeble. Gradually the power of rea-
son seemed lost-and all his acts
seemed ordered by instinct. In short,
at the present time Jasper is nothing
but a two-Iegged rabbit, with all the
habits and nature of the little animal
whose body had gone to make the
elixir of life injected into Jasper's
senses.
The man eats like a rabbit, moves
like one and has taken on all the
nature of one. His head moves round
and the ewes are ever timidly seeking
out imaginary dangers. Ii a dog
banks, the strangely transformed man
makes long jumps for his house,
where he remains until all is quiet.
When he again comes out he puts his
head out and shifts the air sus-
piciously. Yesterday he proceeded to
dig a large hole in the ground with
his hands. His friends have deter
mined to stop the doctors visits,
afraid that if the medicine is con-
tinued the poor fellow will want to
live in his burrow under the ground.

The Kiokine Committee.

Mr.. Michael j. Cannon, of Hoboken,
writes to the Editor, making some
what vigorous protest concerning
our exposure of the motives OF
the so-called New Committee re-
formers. We are sorry to dis
please Mr.. Cannon, but we can
hardly regard our action otherwise
than in the light of a duty.
The members of the committee are
only sham reformers. They are re-
formers for q selfish purpose, and thus
it becomes the duty of conscientious
journalism to turn the electric light of
truth upon them, so that the people,
being enlightened, may not be i'm
posed upon.
1t is bootless for these gentlemen to
abuse the Old, or Regular Democratic
Committee of the county. Were they
to prove that it's members were black
as ink, that fact would not whiten
Mr.. Kern, nor straighten the records
of his followers.
We are reproached by Mr.. Kern for
lack of independence. We have no
sympathy with that kind of indie
pendence which is vulgarly called
Kicking" We have been fearless
and unsparing in criticism of wrong
doing, without ever pausing to con
slider the politics Of the offender. But
we are not in an attitude of hostility
to the party we advocate, nor do we
propose to give any aid and comfort
to those whose guiding principle is
not the triumph of Democracy, but

HOW Haireloth Is Made.

u
Many people understand, OF course.
how haircloth is made, but for the
edification of those who do not we
win explain the process. In the first
place horse hair cannot be dyed. 1t
repels coloring matter; SO to make
black cloth it is necessary to secure
natural black hair. The horses, in
many cases absolutely wild, unre-
strained, are regularly corralled and
shorn. OF course black hair is prefer
able, but sometimes gray stock is util-
lied. Not only the tails, but also the
names are cut; the hair is punched.
These punches seldom contain hairs of
less length than two feet; some are
even three and three and one-half
feet, and the thickness of the punches
is usually two Or three inches. The
haircloth looms are provided with
what we may call a nipper, in place
of shuttle, and the nipper is SO finely
actuated that it travels across the
warp and seizes from the punches n
hair only, the jaws of the nipper be-
ing too line to grasp more than one,
and carries it across the SWEET threads,
dropping it into it's exact place. The
action of the loom mechanically
forces the hair next to its predecessor,
the warp crosses upon it, snugly holds
it in its place, the nipper travels back
and seizes another, and so on and on.
The delicacy and almost human ac-
| curacy with which each separate hair
is placed between the warp threads
is really incredible. -1he UphoIstegef.

Floating Islands.

In the month of April a bamboo
raft, ten to twelve feet long and about
half as broad, is prepared. The poles
are dashed together with interstices of
an inch between each. Over this a
layer of straw an inch thick is spread,
and then a coating two inches thick of
adhesive mud, taken from the bottom
of a canal or pond, which receives the
seed. The raft is moored to the bank
in still water, and requires no further
attention. The straw soon gives way
and the soil also, the roots drawing
support from the water alone. In
about twenty days the raft becomes
covered with the creeper Gpomaa
feptans), and its stems and roots are
gathered for cooking. In autumn its
small white petals and yellow stamens,
nesting among the round leaves, pre-
sent a very pretty appearance. In
some places marshy land is profitably
cultivated in this manner. Besides
these floating vegetable gardens there
are also floating rice fields.
Upon RATS constructed as above
weeds and adherent mud were placed
as a flooring and when the rice shoots
were ready for transplanting they
were placed in the floating soil, which
being adhesive and held in place by
| weed roots, the plants were main
tanned in position throughout the sea-
son. The rice thus planted ripened
in from go to 70, in place of 100 days.
The RATS are cabled to the shore float
ing on lakes, pools, or sluggish
streams. These floating fields served
to avert famines, whether by drought
or flood. When other fields were sub
merged and their crops sodden or
rotten, these foated and fiourislled
and when a drought prevailed they
subsidized with the falling water and
while the soil around was arid adj
vanced to maturity. Agricultural
treatises contain plates representing
rows of extensive rice fields moored to
sturdy trees ON the banks of rivers or
lakes which existed formerly in the
lacustrine regions of the Lower
Yangtse and Yellow River. = China

DIVISION IN THE CHURCH.

-- H
why the Centreville Mission Gives an
Independent Excursion. X
The exclusiveness with which the re-
cent Union Sunday School excursion
composed of the teachers and scholars of
the First Reformed Church, of Bayonne.
and the Reformed Church, of Bergen
Point was conducted, has produced the
seeds of discord in the First Reformed
Church. This church has connected with
it the Bethlehem Mission at Centreville.
No invitation was extended to the teach
ers and children of the Mission to join the
excursion.
AS a consequence, the feeling developed
| in the minds of the score of teachers and
of their scholars chat socially they were
not fit to mix with the high toned teach
ers and scholars of the other schools. 1t
is also claimed that, in regard to the price
of the tickets, a discrimination was made
in the case of four of the Mission teachers
who happened to go on the excursion.
They had to pay more for the privilege
| than the other teachers.
Mr.. A. A. McFarlane, q prominent
member of the First Reformed Church,
said, when he was informed of the treat
ment t. which the Mission had beer sub
jected, .'that though the children have to
go barefoot they will go at his expense to
the next one" of a similar character got
ten up by the church. 4@ f
The Mission, feeling that they have
been ignored, got up an excursion on
their own account to Boynton Beach,
which takes place today. The tickets
were sold at twenty-five cents each. No
one connected with the First Reformed
Church, it is declared, was asked to pur-
chase a ticket.
It is also claimed that the pastor of the
church, the Rev. w. w. Knox, is much
to blame for his apparent want of interest
in the welfare of the Mission. 1t is stated
as a fact that Mr.. Knox has not been at
Bethlehem Mission since last Christmas.
His absence, one of the teachers says, has
not had a bad effecJ upon h success of
the mission, for it never wa more pros
porous than it is now.
