We have warned working men against
chimerical schemes of cooperation
started by men who have failed in bust
ing their savings and their time by in
vesting In schemes OF doubtful practic-
ability. There is nothing in cooperation
itself that is either Objectionable or i'm
practicable; but II needs good business
Judgment at the head, and experiences
shows that good business judgment is
more rare than artisan skill or prudent
industry. Where cooperative plan is
guided by that Judgment. however it has
many advantages.
This is demonstrated by the success Of
such an organization in England, whose
report has just been published. The first
society for cooperative distribution in
England originated at Rochdale In 1874.
and started with a capital of sl40 raised
by assessments upon its members of to
3 pence a week. One of them went to
Manchester and bought at wholesale a
stock of -four, sugar. butter and oatmeal,
from which each member bought as he
required at current prices, and the profit
resulting was distributed annually among
the buyers according to the amount of
their purchases. The first year they
amounted to sl6o, the second $500 and the
third 500, showing successful operation
from the beginning. On the fiftieth year
of it's institution IL signalized the event
by a gift of $500 TO the Rochdale In
Urinary.
The example IL set was followed else
where. and there are now 100 co-opera-
tive societies In England. with 100000
members. an aggregate capital of so0co,-
900. an annual business of SO. ooo, 900 and
annual profits of s2s,sooooo. In 1867 the
united societies formed central one and
established wholesale store I'm Man.

business of which now exceeds So. o00. 900
annually. 1t has boot and shoe factories
in Leicester. soap works at Durham. wool

It's purchases from abroad. Membership
Is established by the subscription of from
G. to g. TO the capital stock. Dividends
are distributed every year. but they may
remain on deposit to the amount OF 81 900
and draw per cent interest. The move
ment originated among the working
classes and has been built UP and wholly
controlled by them.
The beginning, Ii viii be observed. was
small and experimental: and the business
was built up gradually. \ successful in
stitution OF this kind is the best possible
incentive to working men. and places

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

John ". Mackay is a shrewd, con<erva-
tive business man who never speaks to
hear himself talk. and when he says that
Pacific cable will be built In the near
future. Il Is pretty certain the reasons he
may give for ii will be sound and sub
stantiai ones.
\ cable from some point on the Pacific
coast to Honolulu. Australia and Japan
has been talked OF more during the past
two years than ever before. The growth
OF trade between the North American
continent. the Orient and the an
tipodes has been so marked that a tele-
graphic cable has become commercial
necessity. Communication by mail re-
qulrcs too much time. and the present
method Of transmitting messages 10 ooua-
tries on the other side OF tho Pacific by
sending them around the world Is too ex-
pensive,
The difficulties recently experienced in
communicating with Hawaii furnish
abundant evidence OF the necessity of a
cable between those islands and the rest
OF the weird. The expansion OF commerce
between this country and Japan and
China means en- urgent need for cheaper
and sreedier ways or correspondence.
The volume Of business done now Is large
and all signs point 70 a rapid and con-
slant increase. so that Mr.. Mackay Is

THE SPANISH NAMES.
Bestowed More Than q Century Ago
by Explorers From Mexico.


A correspondent recently asked the
Post-Intelligencer how and when the
Spanish names were conferred on islands
and bodies of water in Washington. Rev.
Myron Eells, of Union City, gives this
answer:
I'm 1890 an expedition was fitted out by
the viceroy of Mexico. for Northern dis
eovery, which consisted of the ship Con-
ception, Lieut.. +. Elisa, the San Carlos,
commanded by Fidalgo, and the Princess
Royal. by M. Quimper. Quimper explored
the straits of Fuca and the gulf of
Georgia. His name was left on the Quinn
per peninsula. He named the channel be-
tween Vancouver island and the continent
Canal de Haro, in honor of his pilot, Con-
zalo Lopez de Haro. The San Carlos af-
forwards came in and her commander
name was left on Fidalgo island. Elisa
also entered and named the San Juan
archipelago. Guemes island, Tejeda (Tex-
ada) island and Port Los Angeles. He
left the names Rosario and Fidalgo.
though he gave them to other places than
those which bear them now. These var
ious commanders. history also says, gave
TO the various places in that region the
Spanish names they bear, though which
commander gave which name I am not
able TO learn"
