Capital and Labor Co-operation.
Lono before the con 11 lot between oapital and
labor ever found expression in words, it hai
been recognized as one of the most difficult
problems for practical solution. The interests
of master and man seemed to be fundamentally
at Tarianoe; and as skilled industry elevated
the laborer Into a higher grade of intelligence,
he became more keenly aware of the difficulty
of adjusting his relations with his employer,
and the old ohronio dissatisfaction ripened
into that rebellion of reason that has assumed
such strange forms and advooatedsaoli diverse
theories of remedy, especially in Kngland and
France. - Much literary foroe has been enlisted
in the eanse, and the theoretio abstractions
offered as solutions of the praotioal diffljulttea
have been often crnde, and sometimes even
comioal in their misapprehension of the neces
sities of the case.
Tboee who hold the hopeful creed that the
world is growing wiser by experience, see
strong proofs of their theory in the various co
operative movements instituted by the labor
ing olasBes. An Infinite number of "societies"
are alieady established, even among the lowest
Industrial ranks, in which the member by the
payment of a small sum is assured of a main
tenance during illness and a respeotable burial.
There organizations are very numerous, espe
cially in oities, among those operatives who de
pend solely on the day's wages, and have
suffered bitterly from the inseoure tenure of
employment and the frequent fluctuations of
trade.
Necessity has compelled the distressed
workman to find refuge in some scheme o(
mutual support, and the stern logio of suf
fering has driven him to a step which the
wisest eoonomist must accept as admirably
adapted to the most essential needs of hu
manity, and a truly philosophic foundation
for more complex organizations in the future.
In these simple forms of association is struck
out the first great idea of mutual defense. The
onion of laborers in such a cause is, however,
but a more peaceful form of the old antago
nism against capital; but these very unions are
susceptible of growth into that species of asso
ciation in which the only peaceful solution of
the old difficulties can be found a system
which unites within itself both capital and
labor, and harmonizes their conflicting inter
ests by making one person at the same time
the employer and the employed.
The experiment in Rochdale, Eogland, ha3
been so successful that it is worthy of study,
and its history is curiously typical of the whole
question from its slight beginning, and the
cause of it, to its present complete suooeas.
A number of flannel weavers had lost all the
hoarded savings of years by the dishonesty of
an offioial in a savings' bank, and, disheartened
and almost despairing, they sought for some
gurer plan that would secure them from suoh
calamity in the future. They were only
twenty-eight in number, with a oapital of but
one hundred and forty dollars. They deter
mined to rent a store, at an outlay of fifty dol
lars, and invested the rest of their capital in
stocking it with groceries. This was their
humble beginning, or, as it is expressed in
the statistical aocount of their venture, "Tiie
Rochdale Equitable Pioneers oommencad ope
rations in 1844, with twenty-eight members,
twtnty-eight pounds, no business and no
profits I"
In 1845 the membership had increased
to seventy-four, the funds to one
hundred and eighty-one pounds, the business
to seven hundred and ten pounds, and the
profits to twenty-two pounds. Steadily has
the petty experiment expanded, year by year
attracting additional workmen to cast their
mite into the treasury, until in 18G7 they
reported 6823 members, 128,435 ..funds.
284,910 business, and 41,619 profits !
No mere money value can express the bane
fit derived by the operatives of Rochdale from
this industrial nnion. In the language of one
of its members: "They are weaving their
own stuffs, making their own shoes, sewing
their own garments, and grinding their own
corn. They slaughter their own cattle, and
the finest beasts in the land waddle down the
streets of Rochdale for the consumption of
flannel-weavers and cobblers." By sending
experienced buyers into the bust markets of
the kingdom, the community secures a supe
rior quality of all needful commodities; and
by plaoing their business in the hands of com
petent and honest men, they secured to them
selves the fair value of their wages and de
fended themselves against commercial deceit.
A simpler form of co-operation has been esta.
blished in Edinburgh, and has been in success
ful existence for seven years. It is styled the
Edinburgh Co-operative Building Society, the
members of whioh build their own houses,
thut creating employment as well as a means
of invtxtment. A deposit of 5 only is re
quired, th payment of the rest ef the pur'
chase money being spread over fourteen
years, the puroWser oooupying the house
durlDg that period an paying for it by instal
ments. Four hundred houses have been built
by this soolety, and dividend 0f from seven
and a half to twelve per cent. We been ap
portioned among eight hundred and vbJrtj-3lx
shareholders.
In America, although our great internal,
improvements exhibit the advantages o(
"common stock" movements, and many of
the conveniences of every-day life arise from
similar unions, more intimate sohemea o'
fraternization have not beoome popular. The
habits and feelings of the people seem to be
still tinged with that pioneer instlnot that
oarried our fathers into the forest solitudes,
self-sufficing, and independent of all social
bonds. Nothing but the deepest destitution
drives an American into sharing a house with
his neighbor, and it is only when it beoomes
doubtful whether he can keep a roof over hU
head that he submits to give np his solitary
abode.
The system of dwelling in "flats," so long
established in Bootland, and so universal in
Franoe, offers great advantages to persons of
moderate means; and yet the soheme seems to
have no attractions to Amerioan society,
although, as a nation of travellers, we are
well acquainted with the feasibility of the
arrangements, and are loud in our complaints
of the burden of high rents.
We have learned the strength that lies in
the nnion of money, and we are also tettlng
the valae of association in the various sohemea
that assure the individual against loss by fire,
accident, etc A nnion of hearts and hands
in patriotic duty has made as a great nation,
but we have yet to solve that other union for
common defense whioh can be made to do so
mnch towards assuring his daily bread to eauh
individual.
The unions among laborers, as they now
exist, are too often prompted by a narrow
and selfish spirit of antagonism. The short
sighted bigotry that impels them to regulate
apprenticeship so stringently as to exclude
youth and talent from their ranks, in the
blind belief that suoh exolusiveness will be
advantageous to themselves, may bring them
a trifling profit in the present but oertain
defeat in the future. Tyranny in any form
arouses revolt and causes its own downfall,
and the guild will suffer for the orime as surely
as the Czar.
It is only in such movements that harmo
nize the interests of labor and capital that
peace can be found, and it will be long before
mankind will be ready to freely aooept this
only certain solution.
An ctponknt of universal suffrage has
quoted with great emphasis the declaration
of "Junius," that "No person is entitled to a
political right till he has learned how to use
it; no man is qualified for a trust till he knows
how to fulfil it." This great veiled politioal
prophet was high authority in his own day
and generation, but the spirit of his diotum is
singularly adverse to the whole theory of a
practical democraoy. The United States Gov
ernment has been from its very beginning a
practical experiment, for it has undertaken to
teach the people how to govern themselves by
making them their own governors. If the
doctrine of "Junius" be correct, we have been
wrong from the initial steps, for the great men
who laid the foundation of our Government
were totally nnskilled in the art. The ropnb.
lio was incorporated by bands of oolonlsts,
ignorant of all the complex maohinery of
national organization and management, and
boldly assuming duties of citizenship whioh
they had never fulfilled. Yet the world has
learned through our example that the citizen
learns his duties in performing them, as the
art of swimming is learned by striking out
boldly in the water.
Cause for Relief. The Indtptndance Beige,
a French journal whioh is not published in
Faris, else its very title would be a mockery,
recently had the assuranoe to assert that the
precocious Prince Imperial had said: "When
I become Emperor I shall not allow any one to
be without rtligion I" . Here was grave cause
for alarm. The gay and frivolous world of
Paris was in consternation. The Prinoe Im
perial may be called upon to exeroise the
hereditary functions of sovereignty at any
day, for the health of his august parent has
long been shaky, and every now and then a
would-be assassin is deteoted in the overt aot
of premeditating an attempt upon bis life.
Politically speaking, Franoe is anything and
everything but free; but from a moral stand
point the utmost liberty prevails. It is true
that Napoleon III is an exemplary son of the
Church, and that Franoe under his rule has
risen to the proud dignity of "the eldest
daughter of Rome." But the aotual praotioe
of the faith which the nation affects to pro .
fess is a vastly different thing from the mere
affectation of its profession. The grand
nephew of the Emperor's uncle, however,
proposes to effect a radical ohange in this
regard. No sooner does the Imperial crown
rest upon the brow of Napoleon IV than he
issues his dictatorial edict, by which Father
Hyacinthe is to supplant Schneider, and Notre
Dame to beoome the centre of attraotbn on
Sunday in place of the Bois de Boulogne.
Fancy the vivacious Frenchmen and the giddy
Frenchwomen giving Sjhneider the oold
shoulder and pouring in crowds to the pulpit
wherein Father Hyacinthe holds forth; imagine
the Sunday afternoon races entirely sup
pressed, for the sake of enforcing a full
attendance at vespers in Notre Dame. Not a
very agreeable prospect for a Frenohman to
contemplate. Lighter gilevanoes have barri
caded the streets of Paris and filled the fau
bourgs with a wild, blood-thirsty mob. But the
sagaoiouB ruler of France fully appreciates the
danger of permitting suoh a holy horror to
pervade the minds of his subjects. It has
been by the exercise of an equal sagacity,
under even more trying circumstances, that
he has been enabled to render the empire a
fait accompli, and to oement the foundations
of his throne without an extravaganoe of
blood-letting. So, inspired by the geniui
whioh has accomplished this heroulean task,
the offioial journal gravely announces that
SO suoh words as alleged by the Indpendance
Z?efyever fell from the thoughtless lips of
the Prinoe Imperial, and Paris experienoss a
sense of relief as universal as it is profound.
"Wben. Napoleon IV aaoends the throne he will
not attempt to revolntlontxe the empire by
insisting upon and enforoing religion as one
of the distinguishing features of modern
French character. Happy France !
Rosecrane Again.
"Thk Minister to Mexloo" still carries "his
heart in his hand," and he has not yet started
for the Halls of the Monteiumas. When lait
heard from he was astonishing the natives of
Brown oounty, Ohio, by his profaulty and hld
intensely military air. Still "filled with
solicitude," he has not recovered from his
recent epistolary attack. "Indispensable
duties," however, prevented hfm from attend
ing the conclave of "White" Boys in Blue
held recently in Indianapolis; but his belief
"that our free institutions and highest mate
rial interests are in grave peril" led him to
respond to the invitation of General John
Love who is General John Love f to be
present, "by stating what he thought the most
vital jssues before the publio in the approach
ing Presidential eleotion." Tne solioitade
of General Roseorans still oentres on the
"brave, energetic, and self-saoriflolng men1'
of the South. He is anxious that they should
be restored to "hopeful, oheerful self-government,"
suoh, we imagine, as prevails in the
neighborhood of Camilla, Georgia. For fear
that our readers may be inoliued to regard
this epistle as a forgery, we will reproduoe a
portion. The rambling, incoherent vein of
solicitude whioh pervades it will dispel all
such doubts. Thus:
"Restore them this" "hopeful, cheerful,
wholesome self-government" "and as oer
talnly as day follows the sun our politioal
stability will be assured; our finanoial pros
perity will speedily follow; the value of pro
perty in the South will inorease; our publio
securities will go to a premium; our green
backs will become par; coin and currency ao
counts, with all their evils and complications
will disappear from the books of our business
men."
The "Minister to Mexloo" then prooeeds to
recount at some length the vital necessity of
this "hopeful, oheerful, wholesome self-government"
on the part of the South, and then
solemnly and emphatically declares that he
"holds" the man who would not express and
aot upon convictions similar to his own "a
traitor to himself and his country!" These
words have the true Demooratio "White-"
Boy-in-Blue ring. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan,
Meade, Sickles, Howard what a string of in
famous traitors, to be sure ! Lee, Beauregard,
Hampton, Forrest what illustrious, high
minded patriots thy are ! Reynolds, Sum
ner, McPherson, Birney in what an unholy
can&e they laid down their lives t When a
soldier deserts his colors, what a ranting rene
gade he becomes I what a stench in the nos
trils of all honest, loyal men 1 The treason of
Benedict Arnold was not more infamous than
this.
Another Democratic Thick. Mr. James Bt
Nipholson does not stand the ghost of achanoe
ugoUiug Into Oongrcoa. Ilia friouda vuufoss
this, and seek to turn it to good advantage.
Mr. Nicholson is an Odd Fellow. So are a
great number of Republican voters in the
Fourth District. The modus operandi is this.
An ingenuous Demoorat buttonholes a Re
publican Odd Fellow, confesses that Mr.
Nicholson will be defeated, argues that he is a
good fellow as well as an Odd one, and urges
the Republican to compliment him with his
vote. "It cannot possibly affect the result,
you know," and so on. Now, it is soaroely
possible that Judge Kelley's majority of over
2400 in 1866 can be pulled down to less than
nothing in this fashion, but every vote thus
lost to him is lost to the great cause whioh he
represents; and if his majority should be
lessened by 500 in this way, the result would
be heralded by the Demooraoy as an evidence
of distrust'on the part of Judge Kelly's con
stituents. The device is a neat one, and
worthy the great genius of Mr. William A.
Wallace, with whom doubtless it originated.
h may be that the same trick may be at
tempted in other districts, and it beoomes
incumbent upon Republican voters to be on
their guard against it. Demooraoy and des
peration are synonymous terms, and despe
rate men will be guilty of desperate deeds.
Wilkins I Wilkins has been heard from
officially. We had begun to fear that such
would never be the case. But now there lies
before us the offioial report of that portion of
Wilkins' speech which so aroused the wrath
of Lieutenant-Governor Doyle that he was
obliged to Inquire into its truthfulness. The
Nova Sootian Governor was needlessly
alarmed. In faot, Wilkins is so very tame
that we oonolude not to publish him verba
tim. Wilkins simply asserts that he will not
tolerate the abjeot condition of slavery under
the rule of the profligate politicians of Canada.
Wilkins' ancestors probably flourished in
Acadie, where profligacy is, or was, unknown
All that Wilkins asks, is that the constitution
of Nova Sootia should be restored. His solitary
wish is tolive under the soeptre of his sovereign.
But on that one point Wilkins is firmly fixed.
Therefore, he "does not fear to say that if,
within the next six months, steps have not
been taken to do us j ustice, the people will no
longer submit, but will be foroed to do away
with the injustice of which it complains, and
to reconquer the constitution whioh it holds
dear." While Wilkins is not so fieroe by
half as we expeoted to find him, he is far from
being calm, and it is barely possible that there
is trouble brewing for those who do not,
within the next six months, fall Into his way
of thinking. When a man becomes infatuated
with "the Constitution as it was," there is no
suoh thing as foretelling the desperate deeds
that he may dare and do. Witness the me
lancholy case of Andrew Johnson, right at our
doors. If Wilkins is destined to be the John
son of Nova Scotia, we are moved to sorrow
both for the country and the man.

M USICAL AND DRAMA TIQ
"Wives A They Were" nt the Arch.
Merit Is onlycomparatlve; and when we oome
to Judge of the much-vaunted oomedlesof the
good old times when aotlng was aoting, you
know by the beat literary standards, It Is not
easy to see wherein their superior excellence
consists. It la undeniable, however, that no
plays have been produced of late years that will
equal them, and when placed beside any ordi
nary effort of the modern play-wrlght, with its
dilated dialogue, meagrely-drawn charaoters,
thin veneer of sentiment, and tricks of stage
machinery upon whioh last Item is plaoed the
main dependence for suooesa the superiority
of the old plajs Is apparent to the most superft
clal observer. The perfection of sceulo appli
ances and stage mechanism at the present
time has bad no little influence la
making managers, actors, authors, and audi
ences less critical in regard to the literary
quality of the dramas which are brought oat
nowadays; and, In addition to this, novel read
ing has In a great measure superseded play
going as a lashlouable amusement; and the
talent which at one time was devoted to the
theatre has been transferred to the Held of
notion. The novel writers, however, are now
beginning to orowd each other; and it is a ques
tion worth considering whether some of the
literary ability of the day might not with ad
vantage and prod I be devoted to the task or
adding to our stock of standard dratnalto
works. There Is no better paying investment
at the present time than a suooessful play,
and modern society and manners afford a field
for the dramatist as prolific lu characters aud
Incidents as any previous age.
Mrs. Inchbald'a W'vet at They Were and Maids
at They Are is a good average specimen ol an
old English comedy. There Is a oertain family
resemblance about all of this olass of plays, aud
the productions of Mrs.Inob.bald havetns meilt
at least of being less open to objection on moral
grounds than many more celebrated work. A
vein of sarcastic bumor runs throUga the
comedy under consideration, and, without
being remarkable for wit, the dialogue Is al
ways animated, sparkling, and lively with
repartee. The characters, too, are well denned,
and they afford the actors opportunities to
show what abilities they have In them; and no
the least excellence of the comedy Is that the
moi al Is healthy, and as apphoable to the soolety
of the present day as It was to that of half a
century or more ago.
There was a Blight want of vim in the per
formance last evening, but, on the whole, It
passed off smoothly and to the satisfaction of
the laige audience present. Mrs. Drew gave a
ciipltal personation of "Miss Dorrlllou," and her
acting, as It always Is, was brilliant and
vivacious. Mr. Barton Hill, who sustained the
part of "Mr. Bronzly," shared the honors of the
evening with Mrs. Drew. Mr. Hill has some
trifling faults of elocution whioh we would like
tosee him get rid of If possible, but his acting
as the gay.daHblDg.good-iooklDg, good-hearted-and
good-for-nothing rake was so exoellent
Ifaat we have no disposition to complain of his
minor deficiencies. Mr. Everly as "Sir William
Dorrlllon" had a rather ungracious and difficult
pari, which he pel formed very creditably; but
' Mr. Everlv also has somewhat of an Impediment
In bis speech, which appears to have commu
nicated lUelf to his wals:, and which 11 Is worth
Ills while to strive to correot. Mr. Maokay was
an efficient representative of "Lord Priory," and
Miss Price, as "Lady Priory," was fitted with
a quiet, lady-like, aud agreeable part that Just
suited her. Mrs. Clara Fisher Maeder Is also
entitled to a word of commendation for her
personation of "Lady Mary Raffle," and Mr
Wall is for bis intelligent acting In the minor
role of "Oliver." Mr. James, who appeared as
'Sir George Evelyn," has much to. learn before
he can be accounted a good aotor. His walk
and attitudes are extremely stiff and ungainly,
and his speech Is so thick and hurried that It Is
Impossible to hear more than one word out of
three that he utters. Mr. James' faults of man
ner and elocution are more prominent
now than they were a year ago; but
we should not think It a very dim
cult matter for him to overcome them
so far at least as to move about and stand lu
easy and unconstrained attitudes, and to speak
with a reasonable distinctness. We have . seen
Mr. James act some parts very well, and a little
painstaking In the matters we have mentioned
will, we are sure, not be lost upon his auditors,
or be unappreciated by them. The part of "Mr.
Norberry" was assumed by Mr. M. B. Bnyder,
one of the new members of the company. More
animation Is what this gentleman needs more
particularly.
The audience last night were hearty In their
applause. The actors were cordially weloomed
as they made their appearance on the stage,
and tit the conclusion of the performance the
curtain was rung up In answer to au Imperative
demand.
Mr. Lauder an "Elisabeth."
Last evening Mrs. F. W. Lander appeared at
the Walnut Street Theatre In the role of "Eliza
beth, Queen of England." It was a matter of
surprise with those who witnessed Hlstorl's
great personation of "Queen Elizabeth," that a
oharacter so full of salient dramatlo points had
never been brought upon the stage before. A
careful readei of history, however, will readily
understand the difficulties la the way of pro
duclug a play with anything like a consecutive
plot from the Incidents of the greatest English
Queen's reign, and tbat, while bsr charaoter
Itself was as strongly drawn as oould be desired
the mere Incidents of her career were scarcely
of themselves of a kind available for stage pur
poses. Giacomeltl, however, having the
greatest tragedienne of the age to be fitted with
a part soiled to her eminent abilities, overcame
the difficulties of his task by dispensing with a
consecutive plot, and giving imtead a series
of tableaux in which "Elisabeth" was
the most prominent figure, and whioh
would serve to bring out all the lights and
shadows of her many slded-oharaoter. Whether
his portrait la strictly aoourate, or whether he
Is always historically oorreot, are matters of
comparatively little moment, for on these
points men will probably differ until the end
of time. It Is sufficient that we reoognlze the
general features of 'Elizabeth" as the historians
and romanoers have depleted her, and that a
new role has been created which affords a sum.
petent aotress opportunities to display the
whole range of her abilities. Mrs. Lander Is.
perhaps the only lady on the American stage
Who has the neoessary talents and cultivation
to take np such a part as this while UU tort's
performances are still iresh In the minds of the
publio, and that so little should be lost by a
comparison with the Italian aotress Is remark,
able, even to those who bad the highest
opinion of Mrs. Lander's powers. It Is Impos
sible that Mrs. Lander should not In
a great measure be a follower of Itlstorl In her
manner of rendering this role, and some of the
variations whioh she has made in the stage
t islnes,wlth a view of being as little of a eopy
1st as possible, are not always Improvements
Thus In the celebrated scene where "Elisabeth"
dlotates the two letters at one time, Bistort Is
seated, while Mrs. Lander stands. It certainly
appears more natural and appropriate that the
"Queen" should be seated while engaged In
such an occupation, and Mrs. Lander might
with advantage, also dispense with the
"aside" conversation with "Essex," whioh
seems to us to be a little overdoing
the matter. These details, however, are
after all pretty muoh matters of taste; and,
while expressing our opinion, we are not dis
posed to quarrel with the aotress If she prefers
to differ with us. With . regard to the great
merits of her porformanoe there Is but one
opinion, and we have so often spoken of It tn
terms of commendation, tbat a general refer
ence to It Is all tbat Is neoessary at the present
time. Mr. J. H. Taylor, as the "Earl of Kex,"

Lander, albeit be is still little too muoh
