Cooperation has again been found

Cooperation has again been fOund
to be mighty poor thing for the av-
erage cooperator We say again be-
cause we have in mind the mighty et-
fort made in Blaine to revolutionlze
existing conditions through the Lazy
we beg pardon-the Labor Ex-
change. This time the trouble is in
the Edison cooperative common
wealth camp. The fellows who engi-
neered the Edison scheme told their
followers that socialism is the ideal
condition that since time began man
has hunted for, and the fellows who.
were to put in their hard earned mo-
nev, their household goods, their live
stock and their implements Of trade
against the other fellows juicy heads,
believed it for time. They at last
realize that they have been made
dupes of and are in reality supporting
in idleness sclf-constituted leaders,
denagogic agitators and self-styled
sy1npathizers. SO they have asked
for their property back, but the So
cialist leaders say init. " The courts
will be called upon to settle that mat
ter.-Northwest Republican.
Such fulnninations as the above are
quite common and generally they are
inspired by jealousy, anger or fear. |
may say that generally think it best
to allow such falsehoods to pass I'M
noticed, but in this Instance ! have
some reason. to think that the editor
of the Republican is honest in charg-
ing that some have been duped and
are now the victims of designing men,
and if honest he will want to know
the truth and to make corrections
conforn1ably thereto.
There are no leaders elf-styled
or otherwise, and no one, be he leader
or follower, is supported i'll idleness 1t
able to toll, and it is more than pos
sible that the Republican has derived
It's information from one who would
have led but could not.

NOT RETROACTIVE.
Opinion Respecting Act Authorizing
Water Main Reashessments.

Mr.. Chaplin Brown, attorney of Messrs.
Myron NJ. Parker and j. D. Cameron, own
ers of the property, recently invited the at
tention of the District Commissioners to a
special assessment made upon certain prop
erty on the 7th street road, known as
Rosie Park, on account of water mains
laid along said road in front of the prop
erty. Mr.. Brown requested the Commits
sioners to pass an order to the effect that
the assessment is due, payable and collect
ible only after the date on which connec-
ton may be made with the water main.
The matter was referred by the Commits
sioners to their attorney, who has advised
them that they are without authority to en-
ter such an order, and this opinion of their
legal adviser the Commissioners have APP
proved.
In his opinion the attorney for the Dis
trict explains that the assessment in ques-
ton was for water main laid in July,
1893. The act OF Congress of July g, 1898,
entitled AR act to authorize the reassess-
nent OF water main taxes in the District of
Columbia, and for other purposes" he
states, is not retroactive, and does not pro-
less so to be. 1t operates. he declares,
upon original assessments and reassess-
ments for water mains, made from and
after Its passage, and to apply it to the
water main in question would, he thinks,
be to give 1t a retrospective effect.
Inere can be-" says the attorney. no
aoupl y. the right or Congress to pass re-
Prospective statutes, statutes which reach
back to and effect prior conditions or trans
actions. 1T Is sound rule of construc-
ton, says Judge Cooley. that a statute
could have prospective operatio only,
unless Its terms show clearly a legislative
intention that 1t should operate RETROSPECT
lively
Il am unable to find anything in the act
or July, 1898 which would justify the po-
sition that Congress intended 1t to have a
retrospective operation. The idea was to
modify previous statutes In regard to orig
.inal assessments for water mains in the
district, outside of the city of Washington,
levied after the passage offthe act, so as to
make them due, and payable when and as
connections should be made with the mains.
Nv nile Mr. Brown correctly states the
RUE that remedial statutes are to be lib
orally construed, yet they, are to be so con-
stree1 IN respect Of the subject matter upon
winch they operate; and in the present
case that construction is to be applied to
original assessments and reassessments i'm
posed after the date of the act
FOR these reasons my opinion is the
commissioners are without authority to en-
ter an order that the assessment complain

only after the date on which the connection
may be made with the water MAIN"

ATKINSoN'S PAMPHLETS.
Statement Given Out by the POST
master General

muster GENERAL
The Post Office Department has made
public the letter of MIR. Edward Atkinson
of Boston, on which the action of the de-
partment in Selling his pamphlets was
based. Many letters asking information
about the subject have reached here. The
following statement was given out by Post
master General Smith:
In view of the statement of Mr. Edward
Atkinson that he sent his pamphlets only
to Admiral Dewey, Gen. Otis, President
Schurman and three or four others, the
letter of Mr.. Atkinson containing his ap-
plication will be of interest. 1t is as fol-
lows:
BOSTON, April %, 1899.
" To the Secretary of War:
Sir: desire to send large number of
the inclosed pamphlets on the The Cost of
National Crime" The He'll of War and
Its Penalties" Criminal Aggression; By
Whom Committed?'' to the officers and pri-
Yates in the Philippine Islands. / therefore
desire to know whether or not these docu-
ments can be sent directly through the
War Department or may be forwarded in
due course of mail. A list of regiments is
desired, and if there are printed lists of
officers available they would serve me a
very useful purpose.
EDWARD ATKINSON
NO answer was made to this letter eX-
cept to send an official copy to the Post
master General, who issued Instructions to
the postmaster at San Francisco to hold the
pamphlets.
THE spirit and design Of the pamphlets
will'be indicated by few extracts. In one
of them Mr.. Atkinson says, i will append
one question to each reader: How much
increase of taxation are you willing to
bear and how many of your naighbors
sons are you ready to sacrifice by fever
malaria and venereal diseases in order to
extend the sovereignty of the United States
over the West Indies and the Philippine
Islands%
Again, after describing what he calls
the hell of war and its penalties Mr.. At
kinson says, Lest others should be entrap-
ped into enlistment in the regular army
or volunteer service in the tropics, ii will
only be fair and honest on the part OF the
recruiting officers to be put in possession
of these facts
Again Mr.. Atkinson says, The way has
already become plain for the youth of the
land to avoid disease in the tropics by re-
fusing to volunteer or enlist in the army or
the navy of the United States. The way
will be found for the volunteers now held
against their will to get their release from
unlawful service in any other country
than their own after peace is declared
Mr. Atkinson not only speaks thus of
and to the soldiers of the United States,
but he encourages the Filipinos to insur-
rection when he says, They have the power
to enter into international relations, and
they may yet be recognized, and rightly
recognized, by other powers"
