oo.npER.r1oN AND CoMPETITIoN.


Concerning the cooperative efforts
of the Farmers Alliance, which form
one of the praiseworthy features of
that organization, the Philadelphia Ledger
presents an argument against their practi-
cability which is decidedly double-edged.
1t thinks such efforts can rarely be sue
cessful, because ''if a co-operator de-
velOps sufficient business ability to make
the enterprise successful, he can make five
to ten times as much money by going into
business on his own account
But this argument, If examined little,
fproves as effective at the breach as at the
muzzle, in going to show the importance
of the cooperation to consumers. If the
man who handles the goods makes from
five to ten times as much money by the
usual business methods as by cooperation,
it is evident that consumers in the vast
majority of cases, must pay those en-
hanced prices. The only justification for
any method of doing business is that it
performs the stated service for the least
cost, or that for a stated sum gives the
best service If, therefore, as the Ledger
asserts, the cooperative system will re-
lease producers or consumers from proflts
of middlemen five or ten times there Is the
strongest inducement for them to support
cooperative enterprises.
Of course, it would be unfair not to
recognize that business ability often wins
fortune by furnishing goods or products at
the cheapest cost. But, as in nine cases
out of ten, this is done by building up
large trade, and as, cooperation furnishes
the trade ready-made, the two systems
are about even on that score. This is the
strong point of cooperation, while the
strength of the competitive system lies in
the fact that it offers the greatest prizes to
the men who, by developing new economic
methods, are enabled TO furnish CONNER
cial OF industrial services at the lowest
cost
But, although there is great effort to
make the public believe the opposite, the
commercial system to-day places such
check and restraints on competition that
there is some foundation for the Ledger'S
assertion of profits multiplied five or ten
times. In view of that fact cooperation
has its greatest strength as new competi-
tive influence. In that function the ALI
ance organizations will, if honestly man.
aged, show their usefulness by "a marked
decrease of the cost of commodities
whether handled by cooperative concerns
or their competitors

A PICNIC FOR OWNERS.

A recent declaration of racing law by
the great authorities, in the sporting col
umns of the New York papers, lets in a
flood of light on the ethics and purposes
of racing, as she is played The case was
that of pulling a horse who had
the race won for the purpose OF
letting a stable companion win. A
tolerably well defined instance of that
sort last week raised considerable excite
ment. But the expounders of racing law
inform the objecting public that this is all
right, the sporting pundit of the New
York Tribune citing abundant precedents
to establish the legitimacy of the pro-
ceeding.
One precedent is especially valuable as
showing how beautifully the thing works
The case is that of the Two Thousand
sweepstakes at Nashville in 1889, in which
Proctor Knott was the favorite at to
and Come-to-Taw, his stable companion,
was in the field at to 1. The favorite
had the race to himself until he was
pulled up at the finish to let Come
to-Taw win, which was done. 1t will
be seen that this precedent acts
indisputably in giving the owners dead
certainty on the unsuspecting public.
With one horse who can win, and another
in the field at long odds, they can either
pull off the purse and enough of the bets
at short odds to balance all their bets on
the long odds, or, if they get the thing in
proper shape, pull the fast horse and let
the dark equine win, thus scooping in the
shekels of the dear public at from four to
one upward.
With this precedent recognized, the
great principle of racing-to let the own
ers of stables fleece the unsuspecting pub
lic-is established on an impregnable
foundation.

SEVERAL NEW LAWS.
Ordinances Signed for the Manchester Loop
and the Duquesne Way Sidewalk.

and the Duquesne Way Sidewalk.
Maoor Gourley yesterday morning signed
the ordinance granting the Pittshurg Alle-
gheny and Manchester Street Railway Com
pany the right to construct single-track
branch to its line along Duquesne way and
Fifth street from the Sixth strest bridge
and along Liberty street from Fifth street to
the present terminus of the road on Liberty
street. The ordinance provides that the
track shall be laid parallel with and along
side of the tracks of the West End and the
Union Passenger Railway Company's lines,
and will form the loop for the new electric
line.
Another important paper signed was the
joint resolution authorizing the construc-
tfon of a footway or sidewalk along the
street bridge to the Exposition buildings.
The work is to be constructed by Chief
Bigelow and will be u feet wide with cross
fngs for teams to the wharf at
that a paved way viii be constructed from
each of these crossings to the river, and
after the Government survey Is completed
the city may construct q water log or dixie
along the river front for the convenience Of
boats, similar to that on the Monongahela
wharf
The supplementary ordinance granting
the Greenfield Avenue Railway Company
the right to lay tracks on Sylvan avenue,
and one granting the Swissvale and Wilkins
burg Street Railway Company the right to
lay tracks on Forward avenue, both received
the official signature that makes them laws.
Both lines are to be laid on unpaved streets,
and the ordinances require that when those
streets are paved the companies will pave
between their tracks and one foot on each
side with the same material used in the
street paving. Otherwise the companies
will be subject to the general street railway

REFORM IN LAND TRANSFERS.

The character and success of the Torrens
system of land transfer, as set forth in an
article in the ARRaLs Of the american
ic0demY form the subject of an editorial
in the New York Sun. In addition to the
features of that system heretofore noted
in these columns, this article proves that
the expense of searching titles under the
new method is reduced to So or $40 for an
average transfer; while, although registra-
tion OF land titles under the Torrens sys-
TEN is not generally compulsory, it has
been found so advantageous to landhold-
ers as to be generally adopted. In addi-
ton the Sun sums up the practical effect
of the system IN the following paragraph:
As regards the workings of this system,
there seems TO be no dispute that it is found
in practice even more beneficial than its ad-
vocates maintained it would be. Wherever
the system has become known, it is cus-
tomary for purchasers to insist upon Tor
rcns title before buying. Another usual
effect OF the system is to raise the value of
ali land brought under it. Is there any valid
reason why the Torrens system, or one ap-
prONiuatiag to il. might not be adopted with
advantage in the State of New York?
With regard to the closing question New
Workers should not forget that an i'm
portant step toward land transfer reform
has been made there by the partial adop-
ton of Mr.. Dwight H. Olmstead'S block
indeXing system. Mr.. Olmstead's rather
tentative introduction of his reform has
seemed 10 separate it from a policy of
adopting the further features of the Tor
rens system. But New York would
make a mistake if it adopted the Tor
rens system so as to discard Mr. Olm-
stead's indexing reform. The two should
be combined, as they can be, SO as to re-
tain the valuable features of each, and
New York, under Mr.. Olmstead's guild
ance, might be the State to present the
example OF the best methods of doing it.
In the meantime, other States should not
wait for New York to set the example.
There is no reason why landed property
may not be made as negotiable as stock
securities, except the natural slowness of
legislation to recognize and adopt the

PITTsBURG, THURSDAY, July l6, lssl.
THE OHIO ISSUE.

The Ohio Democratic convention yes
terday took up its position for the cam
paign by doing what THE DISPATCH has
foreshadowed - nominating Governor
Campbell on the first ballot. The dissi-
dent Democrats exercised their constitu-
tioual privilege Of objection before the
nomination, but the preponderance in
favor of Campbell was no less marked in
the convention than it had been in the pre-
ceding canvass.
The essential point Of the convention
and its nominations is that it takes the
field boldly and avowedly on the issue
with the tariff policy represented by Mr..
Mckinley. The platform adopts the free
silver issue also, plainly as tub to the
agricultural whale; but all the signs make
the tariff point the pivotal one of the CAM
paign It's to that issue that the temporary
Chairman, Mr.. Allan W. Thurman. de-
voted his speech, so bristling with strong
points as to suggest the paternal author
ship of the Old Roman. The same point
was Governor Campbell's tour de force,
although his speech of acceptance took
wider range of both State and local issues;
while the platform declaration is the most
Uncompromising in favor of a purely
revenue tariff since the convention of 1876.
There is no question of the Ohio Demo-
Gratis abandoning the tariff fight in favor
OF any other issue.
This puts the campaign in Ohio upon an
interesting and squarely national basis
OF course the sympathies of PittSburg will
be strongly on the side of the leading ad-
vocate of Protection In his GubernatoTial
canvass. But the fact that the Democrats
have drawn the lines squarely on the
national issue is satisfactory as indicating
that the campaign will be creditable, with
none of the cheap political dodging and
mud-throwing common to State cam
paigns
