Much uoisc has been made about co.
operation, government ownership Of
railroads and telegraphs and Of othor in
dustrial enterprises of interest to the
whole public.
But meantime, without any flourish
of trumpets or great announcement of
what was to be done, there have already
grown up several vast and successful
financial organizations established by
the people themselves and run wholly
on the mutual benefit plan. One of these
that may be mentioned is the Mutual
Life Insurance company. As matter
of fact, it has no stockholders, none at
all. There are no dividends TO be salts.
fed such as most corporations pay. The
company was organized, probably with
out a thought that it would signally il.
lustrate the power of cooperation, yet
that is precisely what it does. The
Mutual Life company has a capital Of
| 500, 900, 600. 1t has officers who un.
doubtedly get large salaries. These
these it is run by the people themselves
for their own benefit, They pay the
money and get the insurance. The Off
oers transact the business of the orgsni-
cation and see to IL that surplus funds
are invested safely and wisely.
Savings banks and building and loan
associations the country over are another
brilliant illustration of union for their
own benefit among the plain, intelligent
people Of this country The people put
their savings into these banks and draw
a small interest thereon. They expect
the officers to invest the money so that il
will justify such interest. The savings
banks are practically run by the people
themselves Hundreds of millions of
capital are invested i'll them. Thousands
of individuals of the very best class in
this or any country have been enabled
by them to build homes and become
comfortably we'll off in their old age.
Consider the vast moneyed interests
involved in the building and loan asso

very recently worked altogether withou
pay, simply for honor and out of gooC
will Now small pay is given to certain
officers. Since the beginning Of tn,
nineteenth century no economic system
has been devised which has conferred
such benefits ON wage earners as they
have done. Yet those wheoorganizeC

scheme.
The point is this: What has beer

International Arbitration.

England is probably not afraid of the
United States, and the United States is
certainly not afraid of England. There
fore it is fitting that these two great
countries should take the initiative in
international arbitration. We are one in
language and methods of thought and
closely united. We are one in being un-
conquerable and determined to uphold
our own dignity and rights the world
over. We are also the two most power
full nations on the globe So if England
and the United States form treaty for
arbitrating Misunderstanding that arise
between them the example will be fol-
lowed by other governments, and the
reign of universal peace will be the
nearer for it.
Such are some of the arguments that
will be advanced by William Randall
Cremer, M. p, who comes to this coun-
try as a semioffioial international arbi-
tration agent. His mission is semiof6cial
in that he himself is a member Of par
lament, and the address he will lay be-
fore President Cleveland and every
member of congress is signed only by
members of the British parliament The
London Daily News warmly advocates
such arbitration and says that il it last
ed s5 years it would probably last for
ever. The address in favor Of treaty Of
international arbitration between the
United States and Great Britain is sign
cd by 346 members of parliament.

WHAT a vast amou mt OF Hawaiian
aroubie would have been avsrted had Mr..
Cleveland been possessed of sufficient
good sense and breeding to have allowed
President Harrlson's policy to go through
without interference. And there is q
grave possibility that in withdrawing the
Harrison treaty from the Senate Mr..
cleveland exceeded his constitutional
sights. Anyhow, from the hour that Mr..
Cleveland, with such a tremendous dis
play Of superior wisdom, took charge OF
our affairs with Hawaii, failure has
followed so closely upon fasco as to gall

in confirmation Of the reported capture by
a Chinese mob of some of the officers OF

at all serious the commanding officer OF
