To what extent has the cooperative move
ment been represented in Parliament? Tn
duestionnbly it has had some distinguished
spukesmen in the House of Commons, as
for example, Mr. John Stuart Mill. Mr.
Thomas Hiighea and MI. Walter Morrison.
The two members Inst named eventually

liness to cooperation. A former Lord
Derby, Mr.. Bright and Mr.. Golden were
also steadfast in their support of it. Among
trade unionis.s Mr.. Thomas Burt and Mr..
r. Madison have been conspicuous among
defenders Of their cause.
In one part of the most interesting Of the
supplementary chapters, Mr.. Hr lyc AXE dis
cusses the ~ccrartnership Of capital with
labor, a &C partnership tased on the root
principle Of individualism. He points GU
that the first English lociety TO ado pit the
principle CT participation in pre- fits was the
Agricultural and Horticultural Association.

tive distribution leaves the hireling 10 his

From the Omdhu World Heruid.
T n. ribbles. Vice. Presidential Gandidats
on the Popuiist ticket in 1904, has spent years
and years ON the frontier and among the
Indians. and he can tell some good stories
about Indian magic. Here is one Of them:
Once during the border days I found
myself campsd near a village Of Pawnees
The Pawnees paid our camp a formal visit,
and 70 amuse them one Of our party, VINO
was quite a prestidiRitator, did some simple
tricks with cards. DC. The Indians smiled
and invited us over to their village next dav.
where. they said they would show us sums
Indian tricks.
We went. The day was fine and sunny
and about noon wa werc invited out IN the
omen prairie TO see the trickB. As TAR as va
could see there we're no preparations whatever
We stood around in a big circle outlined by
the chief.
Finally a tall Indian Walked out into tbs
centre of the ring and ~hRranRued this crowd
for a few minutes. Then another Indian
came over to me and asked II I wanted 70
examine a deer's head. freshly killed. which
he had brought. [ looked it over carefully
It was all right. I was then told To take the
head into the ring to the Magician.
That Indian didn't have q atatch Of cloth
ing on, but ON the ground lying near was .
red blanket. T picked M the bianlEet and
examined it, It. like the deer head. WA all
right. I took a cookbook at that Indian. too.
Il then paced out to the edge Of the circis.
keeping my eyes on the IndlHn snd the deer
head, ,
This head was an ordinary sized one. and
had two big antlers on H.. And that Indian
picked up that head. stuck one end OF an
antler in his mouth. and right before us all
gradually swallowed it. II took him nNe
minutes 70 get it down, but II gradually vent
down his throat, or somewhere else. But,
remembsr. he was entirely naked, and the"
was no place Ia hide
After finishing the head the Indian turned
around and bowed 10 the four points Of n"
compass And then, suddenly, there stood
anuth or indian beside him. Where that SEE
ond indian came from none of us could tell'
He certainly did not walk across the open
circle.
The second Indian reached down. took Up
the blanket from the ground and cast II over
the first indian The blanket gradually SUNK
co the ground and lay fiat.
I'VE white people we're beckoned 10 ooine
onward. I picked up the blanket. There
was nothing under it. The first Indian mao
Disappeared, and in his place stood the SECOND
Indian. who was not at all like the first.
Now, all that took place right out on the
open prairie, and In the centre of a ring o.
whites and Indians. I had myself examined
the decr's head. had shaken hands With me
Indians. had lifted that blanket from me

or course, the figure Of Robespierre can
no more be excluded from a Life Of Danton
than can that Of Tdgo from the play Of
"Obhello." The former turks in the hack
ground or stalks in the foreground of the
book. Many readers, however, will he glad
to see the twenty closely printed pages in
which. In the third edition Of hiE book, Mr..
Beesly has undertaken to paint n full
length portrait Of Robespierre. He has no
patience witch the recent revival of the
cult Of Danton's assassin. He does not.
indeed, dispute that the plea made by
Hamel in his biography If Robespierre, the
first volume Of which appeared in 1885,
Ia powerful md plausible, but he points out
that the most damning evidence against
Robespierre was hat spoken by hia own
lips and written by his own hand, and that,
II he must be adjudged a coward, hypoorite
and murderer, It In BECAUSE he stands self
condemned. Mr.. Beesly, Of course, would
not pretend that Robespierre's nature had
ALWAYS been wholly bad or cruel. He holds,
rather, that it had slowly degenerated under
the corrosive influence OF adulation, Of
familiarity with bloodshsd and Of self
righteous po~sturings. By IDA, however,
whenever Robespierre encountered opposi-
zion to himself, he meant murder. At what
precise moment he pictured to himself
Danton in the exact attitude Of a man being
snillotined it is impossible to say, but that he
had lonr hated him, and for a Considerable
time had determined TO get rid Of him,
author ia convinced. II any dreams Of his
more generous youth still haunte him.
they were seen only through a mist Of blood.
Mr.. Beezly thinks that the corrosive process
by which Ro~bespierre's crude theories had
festered into cr1iel practice may be traned
step by step, and month by month, In his
own words.
HaneI, his ablest defender. has alleged
that Rohsspierre had nothing TO do with
the establishment Of the revolutionary
tribunal Of lbs, and that, until he advo-
GATED the Kings execution, he had taken
no part in Invoking capital punishment'upon
any one. Our author concedes that, tech nj
callv, though ne neither proposed ror
formulated the plan, Danton WAS more
responaible for the original revolutionary
tribunal than was R~obespierre, In prac-
tice, however. Danton leaned more and
more TO mercy, whereas Robespierre grew
more ~callous. That Robespierre, indeed,
was one Of the chief authors of the Terror
is an undeniabls fact, whatever his apollo
gists may urge. It il eUuaily indiEputabie
that by the spring Of 1874, he had come to
be feared and obeyed more h any other
man in France-to be a Dictator VIRTUALLY
though not in name; There seems to be no
doubt that Robespierre intended to guillO-
tine his colleagues In the Committee of
Safety. Carnot and Cambon. Both Of thoNF

robust CONNIE sense their narrow fanat-

the GironGists and Robespierrists were
sractically dumb, Nevertheless, the quss-
ton Of the msssacres had been publicly
raised more than once. In the Convention

and the Commune Of Paris were accused

HoIyoake's History OF Cooperation I'm Eng
lunh,

In January, 1900, Mr.. GEORGE JACOB EoLY-
oAKR. since deceased, revised and brought
down to date the History OF Cooperation,
originally published in 1878. The corrected
md completed work Ia now published in
two volumes by d. P. Dutton d Co. The
first two parts of the history were reviewed
at the time Of their publication, and it if to
the third part. which deals with the period
from 1879 to 1904, THAT vs. shall here refer.
Mr.. Holyoake Begins his supplemental
section with a division Of cooperative stores
into dark stores, twilight stores and sun
rise stores. What he calls dark stores are
those which give no share Of profits to
employees, which give credit, thereby keep
ing up the habit of indebtedness in their
members, and which nave no education fund
The twilight stores ara those which have
some features of a sunrise store, but not
all. Sunrise stores ara those which have
the cardinal features Of ready money deal
ing and provision for education, and which
give the same dividend IN the wages Of all
their employees an they give To the con-
sinner who purchases at their counter.
Mr.. H~olyoale expressed the belief that IL
sunrise stores increase in England, il will
be owing to the. women's guilds, because
women are less likely than men to connive
at an evasion Of what they hold to be q right
principle.

 When the decision was announced from the bench there were no repre- sentatiVes of the Arizona Eastern present Attorney Paul Burks, for the Phoenix & Eastern was in the court room. What the next move will be is uncertain. but it will probably be a motion for a rehearing.
 Pending the decision of the case, the two roads have been theoretically operating a portion of the disputed line under a modus vivendi, though as matter of fact the Arizona Eastern had no connection with with any terminus. This ar engagement has from time to time given rise to rumors of other more important arrangements, one rumoI recently taking the form of the sale of the Phoenix & Eastern to the Southern Pacific interests.
 It is probable now that activity will be resumed on the Phoenix & Eastern and that the line will be pushed as i rapidly as possible to meet the Santa i Fe main line in New Mexico, these be- | ing the links. which, with the Arizona | and California, will constitute tho transcontinental line through Phoeni> 1 to the coast.

 per cent of the residents of this valley can talk to each other over a telephone at any hour of the day or night. A campaign has been begun to increase the list of country subscribers of the telephone company and for several days past a solicitor has been working in the district surrounding Mesa City. In
 the building of the new extensions the plan which will be carried out by the company provides for the farmers to own and maintain the different lines running from the city into the country. The company is offering to furnish without cost to the subscriber a trans hitter and receiver, the signal service and the telephone line to be paid for by the subscribers. In addition to this they pay fifty cents a month for the service of the city exchange. It IS estimated that with all of the expense included the total cost to the farmer will be less than one dollar month.
