pany long ago. But it is owned by shrewd
and able men, yields an enormous profit,
and has consistently pursued the policy of
keeping out of all com binations.
The theory upon which its rumored ALI
anee with the Seattle Steamship Company
is based is that it is either the principal
owner or the lessee of that line. This
seems probable, and it may explain the
appearance of Seattle in the matter. When
the Panama Company sold its steamers to
the Pacific Mail Company it transferred
also the good will attaching to them.
This, it has been construed by the courts,
prevents the railroad for all time from
establishing line OF steamers Of its own,
but it is held that it is not prohibited
from leasing space in steamers for the
transportation of its freight. If this as
sumption is correct il destroys the value
OF the Pacific Mail Company's monopoly.
The choice of Seattle as the northern con-
Meeting point would weaken any claim
that the railroad company's course is an
evasion of the terms under which it dis
posed of its steamers.
Traffic Manager Curtis the other day
made suggestion to the Traffic Assccia-
ton that if the shippers OF California
would unite on some one overland road
they could secure better rates than they
are charged under the present open plan.
That suggestion, taken as it was made,
oes not commend itself 20 ordinary bust
ness Judgment, but if it should be applied
to the contingency which the Seattle
Steamship Company presents the aspect
might be greatly changed 4 proposition
OF this kind made to that company might
result either in reduction OF rates by the
Pacific Mail or its abandonment by Cali
fornia shippers. Mr., Huntington is on
his way to California, and it is likely that
this movement from Seattle is Fastening
the speed of his special train.

THE COOPERATIVE IDEA.

II seems strange that whereas a repub-
ican form of government expresses the
idea of cooperation n its most intelligent
and comprehensive shape, cooperation in
production and distribution has been
hardly touched in this country, while in
some parts of Europe it is making great
Roadway. The international Cooperative
Congress, recently held in London, deveI-
oped some of the surprising results which
have come from the adoption OF this plan.
In England, for instance, there are 1914
cooperative stores, with a membership OF
1,343 518, share and loan capital of over
SOC, 100000 and an invested capital of
nearly $40, 600, 600. Their sales in 1894 were
$3.50, 900 900, yielding profit OF 10 per cent.
While great success has been achieved in
England in cooperative stores, the princi-
pie when applied to production has been
approximately a failure. The reason is
obvious. In cooperative stores the in
vestment is money, whereas in co-opera-
tive production it is labor. 1t has been
found by experience that in the absence of
a governing head which shall require
certain amount Of labor performed a day
there is a disposition to fault-inding
among the members, growing out of the
suspicion that some are Sinking. This
difficulty might have been foreseen. 1t is
the fatal defect of altrurian enterprises,
which are merely cooperation carried
little further and reduced To communism.
Cooperation in capital is principle as
old as business. The corporation is one of
its soundest forms. The radical difference
between this form of cooperation and that
OF production is that it has governing
head, with authority to enforce obedience.
This same principle might be applied to
production, but with much more difficulty,
and whenever so applied it must give rise
to envy and jealousy. The cooperative
principle in government-that is to say,
the republic-represents still another form
of the idea, and is found to give generally
more satisfaction to the people sustaining
it than any other form of government.
The general conclusions are that CO.
operative stores are excellent institutions
and that cooperative production is best
left alone.

STIMULATING INDUSTRY.

One OF the most encouraging announce
ments of the effect which the Valley road
will have on the development of the re-
gion which it penetrates comes from Stock
ton. 1t is that vast sugar-beet industry
is to be established somewhere in the
northern end of the San Joaquin Valley,
and that its establishment has been rem
dered possible by the cheap freights as
sured by the Valley road, together with the
irrigation facilities offered by the Stanis-
laus and San Joaquin Water Company.
This latter enterprise, it will be remem-
bered, is an irrigation scheme on splen-
did scale and is about ready for operations.
AS it is private undertaking it is not af-
fected by any court decisions concerning
the Wright irrigation law.
In the absence of the Valley road the
farmers ON the immense fertile tract
watered by the irrigation company would
have been at the mercy OF the transporta-
ton monopoly which long ago laid an en-
barge on the development of the San Joa-
quin. The Valley road, therefore, adds
heavily to the value Of the irrigation COM
pany's plant and to the lands which are
thus made highly productive. AT the
same time it is an assurance that the de-.

AN IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT.

One of the most extraordinary meetings
ever held on American soil was that con-
Quoted by Irish Americans assembled in
National convention at Chicago Wednes
day evening. The full accounts of the
proceedings, published in THE CALL, show
Individually that the hatred of Ireland for
England, instead of relaxing under the
modifying influence OF time, has been con-
stantIy growing deeper and more implaca-
BILE, and that in all proba bility the conflict
will continue until bloody result is
reached.
The Irish now in all parts of the world,
wherever they exist in considerable num-
bers, are organizing a revolutionary
movement for the purpose OF freeing their
country from British domination. 1t is
not unlikely that England will call upon
the United States to put down any move
ment looking to the organization here Of
such a revolutionary movement. and when
this does happen the most serious aspect
of the case viii be presented. It is as yet
too early to discuss this phase of the sub
ject, and vet it is fascinating. Our Gov
eminent is in the same position with ref
erence to Irishmen in this country as with
Cubans who sympathize with the revolu-
ton in the island, and the action recently
taken by the Federal authorities in that
matter is still fresh in the public mind.
In organizing upon foreign soil revolu-
tionary movement against England, Irish
men will have to calculate on the inter-
national principles involved and must be
prepared to meet the difficulties which
they present as obstacles to their move
ment AS Ireland wants to establish a
republic, the natural sympathies of our
people would be with them in that under
taking. This would not be the case, how
ever, in Canada and Australia.
The dominant idea is the incura bic an
tagonism existing between the English
and the Irish. In refusing persistently to
treat Ireland other than as subiugated
dependency England has produced long
list of reasons, for it was a matter that
seemed to call for explanation. The out
side world has always regarded the situa-
ton as expressing relation existing
between conqueror and people who, in
political sense, are regarded by England as
alien and wholly non-assimilable and who
must be held in subsection instead of being
taken intimately into the bosom of the
ruling power. 1t is this that keeps alive
Irish hatred. By refusing assimilation it
makes Irish sympathy impossible and bit
terness unavoidable.
En- gland is ready to show that this
course has been necessary; to convince
the world of the fact is different thing.
1t has been demonstrated in America, by
the closest sort of all kinds of assimilation
between Celt and Saxon, that there is no
inherent antagonism between the races,
and that when they are placed on equal
terms they amalgamate as readily as the
individuals of either race among them
selves. This evidently has taught Eng
land no lesson. and it does not seem pos
sible that the question of Irish govern
ment will be settled until England retreats
from her position or the Irish succeed in
a revolution.

BUSINESS FIRST.

But what is the object OF society if it be not
to accumulate wealth? The development of
the mind, the refinement of the taste. the sal
walton of the soul? All the social and intel
lectual and esthetic ends that men aim at are
attained by wealth, not necessarily as an
individual. but certainly as q community
possession. Has the human race anywhere
laid aside the pursuit of wealth in order TO Gull
tivate its taste or its mind? How long would
either taste or mind survive such G change?
The individual may give up the pursuit OF
wealth In order to pursue art, but only
on condition that the overwhelming ma ority
of men keep on pursuing wealth. II the as
pirations for wider intellectual vision, for the
