A Criticism Of Bige Eddy.

Mr.. Eddy thinks brotherly love has
nothing to do with cooperation. This
rs The most astonishing sentence I
have ever met with in reform litera-
ttire. ask, has brotherly love place
IN mans evolution? If so it must ap-
pear either in cooperation or compe-
tltlon. If he rules it out of the for
mer 1T must be in the latter. Bv his
watlngs he is fighting thecompetitive
system: then, logically, he adiures
brotherly love. And if so, what does
he want-hate? Oh, my heart, is this
to be the endings of all those long
ings to help and be one in that grand
brotherhood where good will and
kindness and love were to be put into
actual practice? No. Brother Eddy
Is wrong. Brotherhood is fact in
natare and love is the law of life. TO
love is to have life. Brothcrly love 10
economically sound as well 40 cthic-
ally correct. Men working together
who love each other can accomplish
more than if there 10 a disintsgrating

better advantage where brotherly
love illuminates the transaction. The
brotherly idea put to use docs not ex-
clude competency, intelligence, order
and system. These Src all corrcJa-
tives. The straight business" of to
day is hideous only because the broth
erhood idea is missing. 1t is the
prompting of the brotherly impulse
within us that i1npels us to work for
socialism. We love justice; we love
peace; we love plenty; and we give our
lives to actualize these divine princi-
pies among men, and now are they to
be repudiated in establishing the or
der OF society universally conceded to
be the most congcrial to them.
Say no, Brother Eddy.

MORE COOPERATION.

The Provident Trust Society is
new fratcrnal and cooperative move
nent that is now in good working
order here in San Francisco. Its
founder and promoters believe that
it's merits willlcad to it's establishment
generally over the country.
1t aims to establish cooperation
among the people where they are now,
and later on to reach out for the hand
and the various kinds of machinery.
The members pay regular monthly
dues which accumulate for regular
business purposes.
All kinds OF medical, dental and sur
gical sevices are provided for the mem
bers The society conducts an excel
lent purchasing agency. 1t has con-
tracts with about seventy-five whole
sale houses and fifty or more first
class retail houses. From thesc firms
We can get wholesale rates in retail
quantities, or at liberal discount at
retail. These purchasing privileges en-
able the members and their families
to save each month, several times the
amount of the monthly dues.
When the membership of the eociety
shall have reached a certain num-
Der, we shall proceed to establish our
own distributing center, or emporium.
After that onr members viii! begin to

New York. Feb. Ar q. Dun a Co.'s
weekly review OF trade says: Failures
in January were smaller than In any
previous month except August, 1898. and
July. 1897. The manufacturing failures
were the smallest exceptingl August,
1898. There were only seven failures for
100000 or more. and the average OF liza
plllties per failure Is smaller than in
January OF any other year. Considering
that January Is usually one OF the larg-
est months OF the year in failures. the
return is surprising as well as encourag-
ing.
There IS an epidemic OF consultations.
Never before have 80 many organ ations
OF that sort been In operation or in prog
ress. Some of the most important cor
porations are wisely and conservatively
managed. But others are hosting prices
without much reason or sense after pay
ing for properties more than they were
worth TO previous owners. In some
eases the purchases will prove unproft-
able.
The most remarkable feature OF the
week has ben the decline of cents in
wheat with only y n cent in corn and
only l-l6th in cotton. The government
estimate OF the wheat crop 675. ZOO, 900

other from that source for q number OF

WITNESS AT
SIX YEARS old.
Johnnie 0'COnnOr Testified Be-
fore Coroner Lincoln
AS TO DEATH OF HIS MOTHER.
Saw No Trouble Between His Mother and
Father on Day The Former Died.
MOTHER SAID SHE HAD BEEN STRUCK
Sent Him 10 Liquor Saloons 10 Call Father Last
Time Boy Saw Mother Alive She Had
Candle In Her Hand.

Coroner Eugene III. Lincoln this
morning resumed the inquest into the
causes leading TO the death Of Mary
OConuor, who was found dead at her
home on Wickenden street on January
Is under very peculiar circumstances.
The only witness examined this morn
ing was Johnny" OConnor. the 6-year-
old son of the deceased, and his testi-
mony was taken mainly TO see how Ii
bore upon certain testimony already
given
The little fellow, who is very bright,
indeed stated that he returned from
SCHOOL on the day Of his mothers death,
and about 1880 o'clock his mother told
him to go And call his father, who was
at the wild Irishman" saloon. He
went there and found his father drink
ing beer. He delivered the message,
but the only answer his father made
was to tell him to go to school. He
she went to the saloon and he went TO
school.
When he returned home, at $3.50
o'clock, his father was asleep on
lounge and his mother was out. The
boy said he went out TO play. and about
8 o'clock saw his mother in MIS-. Null
vey's house. Later he got some wood
for his mother and took il up to her in
her own home. and his mother told
him that his father had taken the axe
and broken the oven door. and she also
said that his father had struck her that
afternoon. His mother had lighted
candle In her hand. She then sent him
to Pat Sullivan's saloon to tell his
father to come home.
He went and saw his father drinking
beer at the counter, but did not speak
to him. and went back home and told
his mother. He then went down 10
Mrs. Mulvey's house, where he had his
supper. and did not see his mother
again until after she was dead. After
his supper he went upstairs, but there
was nobody there and the rooms were
dark. His Uncle John, who was in
Mrs. Mulveys, said he would go up and
light a lamp, but came right away and
said that his mother was dead or dy-
ing The boy declared that he had seen
no trouble between his father and
mother that day.
This afternoon Coroner Lincoln is
taking the testimony of officers of the
Third station, and will examine other
witnesses on Monday morning.
