Farmers Exchange Must Reform.
Some farmers exchanges are'in wrong"
They are not working on the principal of
cooperation at all. Every exchange that
has for its object the making of money to
pay large dividends is founded falsely;
and every one that enters the market as
an independent buyer is prostituting the
the name and fame of cooperation and
facing certain ultimate failure. Nothing
is cooperation that comes short of the
principal tersely stated: each for all of us
and all for each of us. Where the divi-
dend idea predominates certain men will
surely be governed by selfish interests and
consequently others will suffer. Similarly,
when an exchange acts as an independent
buyer it cannot be of serious service to
the community in which 1t operates be-
cause 1t will not, cannot have enough con-
troll of the situation to do more than
ordinary buyers share of business.
To be really effective farmers ex-
change must have the unf1inching sup
port OF its members. A big membership
| is not essential to success but loyalty Is.
Better 10 men who will stick together than
II who won't. They can succeed If the
business Is managed reasonably well.
When they have proven their success they
can let other men join. Members who
sell to independent buyers are robbers,
not only Of their neighbors, but of them
selves. They are not content with throw
ing away their own chances to get good
prices through the exchange having COM
mand of the market. but they must needs
force their neighbors to suffer for their
folly. This is worse than the dog In the
manger idea. The dog merely prevented
the COW from eating the hay he could not
eat; whereas the exchange member, SC
called, won't allow his neighbor to get a
fair price because he doesn't want, or, al
least, doesn't get, fair price himself
Members who don't cell all their goods
through their exchange not only make the
work of the exchange officers harder thar
necessary, but they blindly steal from
themselves and from their neighbors with
out enriching themselves, for what? Tt
: enrich the independent buyers who
shrewdly pull the wool over their eyes
: If they want to sell independently they
should withdraw from the exchange fo
their own self respect and for the good O.
? the exchange; for while they continue Al
, members who don't live up to the mem
. bers' obligations they are really traitor
10 their fellow members, and worst of all
!. to themselves. AeyicpIturist

Court.

At a session Of court held ON Thursday,
held by Andrew J. Kelley, of Columbus,
be transferred to William II. Mooney, OF
Philadelphia, who has purchased the
property. The court told the new land
lord to follow the precedent set by Kelley,
who had properly conducted the place.
Having previously pleaded guilty to as
sault and battery upon an officer while be-
ing arrested at Riverside. Thomas Quinn,
of Philadelphia. was given to understand
that the officers in this county must be
protected while performing their duty,
and the defendant was sentenced to serve
three months In the county jail. Quinn
said the officer struck him and he objected
to having nippers placed on his wrist
He admitted having served time in the
house of correction and Moyamening
prison.
Assemblyman Peacock succeeded In get.
ting two colored men discharged, Clarence
Hoxton and Lewis Morris, who were
charged with stealing 1O3 potato bags from
shed In the lumber yard of Josiah W.
Evan, and which belonged to the Farm
ers' Exchange.
There was testimony to show that two
colored men had been seen in the yard of
the Imperial hotel, near which place the
bags were found. After being notified of
the presence of these men in the yard, the
fence of which had been whitewashed,
Harry Fry and Henry Longstreet saw the
men, one of whom had a white cub
stance on the knee of his trousers. The
witnesses could not satisfactorily identify
the defendants, and in dismissing the case,
Judge Horner said that as there was no
evidence to substantiate the charge, lit
tie whitewash was not sufficient in this
case to convict the men of larceny.
1t is said that one of the witnesses fuked
on the evidence upon which the state ex-
pected to secure conviction.
An appeal case was heard in which FL
wood Davidson, who conducted the livery
stable in connection with the Indian Chief
hotel, at Medford, sought to recover
damages from Selig Baskevitz for the
board of some horses, one of which was
seized for debt. This was recovered by
Sheriff Jordan under replevin proceedings,
but the suit was never prosecuted. 1t
later developed that the seized horse be-
longed to Nathan Baskevitz. The plain
tiff was represented by Herbert s. Killie,
who showed that The bill for horse keeI
amounted to $102 and that only $500 had
been received. The case was held under
advisement.
William il. Dayis, farm hand employed
by Edward E. Logan, was brought before
the court as derelict probationer by off.
Ger William A. Slaughter, who learned
that Davis was preparing to leave fol-
Delaware and that he was not supporting
his family. The defendant admitted hsv
ing much trouble with his wife. When II
was suggested that ball and chain b
placed on William and that he be put tt
work on the public roads, the fellow los
some of his spirit of levity. 1t was ar
ranged that there should be meeting be
tween the man and his wife. after which
David promised to go home and behav
himself.

A letter received from Col E. A. Stevens
informed the board that he had made an
allotment of 1870 to this county for
road purposes.
Dr. Lejambre said he wanted to know
the conditions of this allotment, in order
to learn If the board is to have control of
the money and to put it where 1t will do
the most good, and not be confined to the
roads mentioned In the letter. 1t was
stated by James Logan that for the ask
ing, the board could probably get the
amounts shifted to suit conditions.
William H. Ireland, president of the
Lambertyille Stone Quarry Co., was pres
ent, and he said his firm could furnish 200
tons of crushed stone per day while the
work on the roads was In progress.
A somewhat lengthy opinion was rem.
dered by Solicitor Rigg to the effect that
| the county could not raise money on bond
issue.
DR.. Lejambre said as long as the Su
preme court had gave the board permits
sion to transact county business, the on ll
way would be to appeal to that body fol
redress in case it became necessary Il
raise money for certain purposes.
A letter received from the government

Tonson was DESTROYS of obtaining the

In reply Dryden sent the following
