COOPERATIVE RAILROADING.

curious experiment is being made by
the Illinois Central Railway Company.
Inc employees of the company are TO be-
come stockholders under conditions which
bind them to the fortunes of the under
taking. Clearly the object is to prevent
those wars between labor and capital,
often so injurious 10 both. and in the case
of railways harmful and paralyZing TO
public interests. Officers and workmen Of
the company are to acquire on the Install
ment plan single share at time. The
purchase is to be al a fair market price,
and the payments are to be in sums OF So,
or in multiples of that figure. pur-
chaser may go on adding to his shares.
and is to have the right of voting and
drawing dividends precis -ly as in tina case
OF the public. Interest is allowed on in
stallments at 4 per cent. Should ali en-
ploye leave the company's service he must
either complete his purchase at once or
may have his money refunded with in
terest. He is not prevented from acqur-
ing any number OF shares by paying full
cash value down.
This system of sharing ought to work
smoothly in the case of the Illinois Gen.
trail. 1t is a railway earning good divi-

Therefore the losses which try the fidelity
of stockholders are not to be apprehended,
and provided the employe is not under
paid or overworked, on the assumption that
lie will not rebel because he owns an in
terest, he may be heartily contented with
this cooperative plan. 1t is an expert
ment pregnant with interest for the indus
trial world. The heartfelt wish of the re-
former and economic enthusiast is that a
medium of just relationship could be estab-
lished between capital and labor In order
10 avoid antagonisms and prostrations of
industry, which SO often play havoc
with progress. A mountain OF difficulty
has 10 be surmounted or left unclimbed
when copartnery losses arise. Where
there are thousands of workmen drawing
wages and dependent upon them for daily
bread any risk which imperils the amount
Is hlndrance TO cooperative unity.
There are also difficulties connected with
sharing according to talent or capacity.
The Illinois Central has no reverses to eX-
pect, and its shares are not on the market,
in the common sense of the term, as red
rag for the bulls and bears in speculation.
Consequently willing emplOye may be
disposed to rejoice that, to small extent,
he is his own master. with a steady pros
pect of rising in the world.

A LAST RESOURCE.

Manitoba is extremely pressed for immi-
grants when it is going to Iceland for them.
To the Icelander there are some advan-
tages. The climate is considerably better
than that of the bleak ana inhospitable
region they hail from. where agriculture is
scarcely possible on scant fringe of coas;
and fishing is a main reliance for the food
of life. Even with three months of sum-
mer in the Dominion province, three of
cool weather and six Of desperate winter
the 1celander must feel that he is in a land
a good deal nearer the equator than his
own, and that his chances of eking out an
existence are measurably greater. Nobody
but the hardy Morse and the Siberians
would indorse this favorable view OF
Manitoba as paradise for the farmer.

NOT LOST FOREVER.

Mr.. M. j. Flavin, now Chicago mer-
chant, says he thinks the commercial
future of San Francisco depends upon the
Australian trade. If Mr.. Flavin's views
had been put in the form of resolution
THE CALL would propose an amendment
to the effect that the trade of Australia
would be valuable acquisition to the
commerce of San Francisco. But Mr..
Flavin is possibly wrong in the opinion
that the northern and southern trade has
left San francisco never 10 return. H.,
says: Tine merchants of the North will
never be willing to let the overland freight
pass almost at their door, follow it own
to San Francisco and then pay the freight

will not. But suppose that San Francisco

THE LEGAL VALUE OF WILLS,

The June number of the North Ameri-
can ReUielU contains an article from Eras-
tus S. Ransom, Surrogate of New York
County, in which the absolute right of a
man 10 dispose Of all of his property by
will is defended. Mr.. Ransome saws:
His right,to do so is as certain and as sacred
as his right to dispose CT it by sale OF gilt dur
inc his life
In this we apprehend that Mr.. Ransom
will find himself mistaken. Society has
some right as well as individuals If a
very rich man may leave all his property
to one of his children, leaving others to
care for themselves, the community is
responsible for the maintenance OF such az
do not develop ability to take care of
themselves. 1t will be held, we think.
that rich man has m right to bring no
his children in idleneSs in the expectation
of being provided for at their fathers
death and in his will throw them upon
their own resources In the absence of A
will the law distributes property equally
among the children, alter providing for
the widow. When a man makes a will he
sets the law aside. under MIR. Ransom's
doctrine, IL he has as much. he may give
S10.000.000 to one child and nothing 10
another. He may will all his property 10
strangers. He may by will perpetuate an
immense fortune in one branch of his FAM
lily. while another is in poverty, Estates
in this way may be eniailed as irrevocablv
as under the primogeniture laws of mon
archial countries. The law. that is, the
will of the body polite. has the right to
defeat an exercise of individual power.
which Is. in its opinion, con trary to the
general good. There are men who dis
regard this right of the public to defend
themselves from pernicous attacks upon
the principle up0n which the Government
is founded. and it is eminently proper that
in their turn their Will shall be disregarded
when clearly contrary to the public good.

erEment clerks. The Government OF the
United States spends annually IN round
numbers $500, COOS 600; the State of Cali
fornia spends SS0o0,OO0; the city of San
Francisco. $5,0oO,000. Still this is not
enough. The cry in Washington and in
Sacramento for more is as shrill as in San
Francisco. But so far as Washington Is
concerned, one of the newspapers that are
clamoring to break the dollar limit admits
that sober reflection will probably sug-
Gest the idea that the overcrowding and
housing In insecure buildings evidences
that there is extravaganza rather than
closeness." Might not this suggestion be
applied also to the government of San
Francisco? Is not waste rather than par
simony the real foe to good government?

Golf has gained a footing in the East

Like another Scotch game, curling, it is
very democratic, the peer and the COM
moner being frequently together in a bout
OF skill. The golfer rises early and plays
late. He smokes and chats as he goes
from hole to hole. attended by caddie It
his heels who carries his clubs and selects
for him the right one at the right moment,
and is usually well primed with stories
and sly jokes. 1t is game which might
be played at Monterey or on the ocean
beach at San Francisco, but tracts of
ground not too smooth nor quite level are
preferable. Most of the good grounds in
Scotland are near the seashore.
Australia has too much mutton and too
little money for the number of banks try
ing to earn interest on it. This year a
drought is affecting New South Wales and
pasture is scarce. On one range things has
got 10 such pass that $500 sheep were Of
fered to anybody for nothing, but without
an acceptor. The thrifty owner had taken
care to shear his sheep and they were not
worth n cent for any other purpose. In
other PARTS of the country the flocks are
being boiled down. After clipping about
half dollar is fair price and the buyer
has no great margin of profit. Things are
going to the bad with almost ms much bang
