COOPERATION IN BELGIUM.

Reports from Belgium show wonder
full progress Of the cooperative move
ment for industrial and commercial
purposes. Last year no less than 25l
cooperative societies were formed,
making total in Belgium Of 1900 such
societies OF all classes.
Complete statistics are not published,
but it Is estimated that the various or
ganlzations have total membership of
100000. That would mean about a mill
lion consumers, or about seventh part
OF the entire population Of Belgium, In
terested in cooperation.
The Rochdale system Is the most gen.
eral In that country. Its chief feature
is that It sells the goods handled at
prevalent prices and then distributes
the profits realized among the members,
at regular intervals. In this way the
consumers virtually save some money
every day. without noticing 1t. and re-
celye the benefits OF these savings reg
ularly.
Most Of these societies have started
from very modest beginnings. Some
workingmen come together and COM
mence by depositing few cents each
in common treasury. When they
have saved up hundred dollars. they
are ready to start with a bakery, or a
grocery, and then to develop other en-
terprises according to capital and OPP
portunity.

COST OF STRIKES.

Worlds Work, the strikes that have oc-

cost in the neighborhood OF ses5.OOo, 600
During these thirteen years there were
In this country 1890 strikes In 6s.l6i
establishments. The industries mostly
affected were the building trades, in
which 26,s6O establishments were in

boots and shoes. All these industries, It
viii be observed, are those to which in
ternal conflicts are most natural. For
instance, In piece OF work In which
the building trades are concerned-a
house-it seems almost foreordalned
that from the sensitive and jealous re-
lations between union and non-union
plasterers, plumbers, carpenters. brick
layers and stonecutters trouble should
arise. Not less than sixty per cent OF
all the strikes that occurred were or
dered by organizations, yet these organ
izations paid only about one-thirtieth Of
the entire loss In dollars. OF the total
loss of s2S5OOO,oOO caused by strikes and
lockouts, two-thlrds was borne by the
men and one-third by the employers.
Only forty-four per cent Of the strikes
resulted in victory for the strikers,
while the rest were, either total fail
ures for them, or drawn battles. Where
success followed, the question was gen.
orally OF increased wages or shorter
hours. but the strikes very seldom re-
suited In any advantages for labor un-
ions.
These figures and estimates are ex-
ceedingly instructive. They suggest the
question whether the increase in wa

YALE's Dl-oENrrNNIaL
Chicago News.

Yale has right to plume Itself on the
fact that the universities Of the world
which could bring together such cos
mopolitan and representative group OF
men OF learning. and so many men ac-
tually possessed .pf great power In the
worlds affairs are exceedingly few IN
number. The prestige and influence
OF Yale have been the result OF STEADY
growth for two centuries. 1t Is one Of
the few institutions In this country
which have the age necessary to give II
the traditions and atmosphere OF uni
verslty life. 1t Is probably fair to
say that together with Harvard II oc-
cupies a place apart among American
institutions Of learning, not SO much
because of It's capable faculty and its
brilliant record, as because Of the
length Of time during which It has been
at the forefront of American universe

Sir William Mackworth Young, lieu

n speech when Installing the new ma
haraiah Of Patrila, In which he admit
ted that the training and education OF
the natives chiefs Of India havenot thus
far been crowned with success. 1t is a
frank confession and doubtless true,
The Indian civilization is one Of the
oldest civilizations in the world, and Its
theories and practices are fundamen'
tally different from those Of Christian
nations, and the ideas Of the latter
cannot be successfully substituted In
their place in one or two generations.
The European education and training
given Indian chiefs so far as radically
affecting their ways of life and theories
OF government. are very superficial, and
must necessarily be SO, India Is ruled
by British force, whether acting
through natives or foreigners, and not
by British ideas manifesting them
selves voluntarily through European
educated Indians. The civilization OF
thousands OF years does not give way
to a new civilization in century OF
two, f

while already 200 years In making, are
only Just begun. Two hundred years
In the life OF this great American uni
