WHY WAIT , ! i1
Everybody admits Ihat DougUa

within the next1 five jears at the
firthest. Erery osio who has hid

old eholl , every property owner
whose title to his land rests on district
court decrees cr is recorded in the
omnly clerk's records knows thatde-
1 iyUs dangsroua. The bui'ding is ab
solutely unsafe. Its Wdlls ere crack-
in : * , its foundations are crumblin .
The vaults which contain the
invaluable records of tax payments ,
real estate transfers and district
court decrees are unsafe and hold
barely a half of the county records.
Every land owner , every farmer , and
every tax payer of the city of Onnha
and the county of Douglas is directly
interested intho , speedy erection ol a
new building for county purpose * .
Why should the county wait any
longer before beginning the work ?
Her credit is in the best possible con
dition. Within the last two years ,
without increased taxation , $10,000 of
bonds .have "been taken up by means of
the sinking fund and interest on them
has ceased. In the same time , a now
county jail has been erected and § 17-
000 expended in the purchano of a
court house site without additional
expenee to the city. In other words ,
Douglas county Is to-day 893,000
better off than ehe ww on the
first of January , 1870. The issue of
tha proposed court house bonds would
'necessitate no increase in taxation.
The present levy would amply cover
the nnnual interest charge. But the
now coutt house would in a very few
years pay for itself in the increase of
value in taxable property adjoining it.
This incrcABti in the value of taxable
pr.ipertj' in the city will decrease tax

Onnha will gain , however , themcst

AM. the interest in tha campaign
centred around tha contest in New
York , New .lerecy and Connecticut.
Hoth parties claim to ba confident of f
victory. The leaders of both patties
nra straining every "effort to assure a
f.ivorablu result. ' But while confidence
ii fi-lt by both sides'it freely admit
ted that the republicans alone give
reasons for believing Tn the success of
tlioir ticket. Thd democrats acknowl
edge that the tariff agitation has ii -
duccd thoieands of mechanics to join
the republican r&uks , while the only
hope for any increase in the demo
cratic vote is found in the increase of
voters by naturalisation or by the
coming of age of youths of democratic
parents.
Of these states the most important ia
of course Hew York. The majority
which New York ateio gaVe to Mr.
Tilden in 1870 was 32,820 votes. In
that year tlio republicans carried
thirty-seven counties , and came down
'
to New York City with a clear nnjor-
ity of 58,810 votes which was couuto.-
baUnccd by a democratic majority of
84,000 votes , cast in the counties of
New York , Kings and Queens. This
majority of 32,000 the republicans
are confident of oVercoming in the
present election. From a careful
canvats , they assert that the atato out-
I aida of New York and Brooklyn , will
be carried by 89,000 majority , in
consequence of gains made in every
manufacturing town and city in the
s'lts. New York City they concede
to the democracy by 54,000
majjrity and Brooklyn and the rest of
Kings cauuty by 14,000. This reduc
tion in the democratic rote will re
sult , it is claimedfrom thedcfcction of
the worktngmen and the votes of such
merchants as have heretofore stayed
away from the polls. Taking the stal o
together the republican estimate gives
republican majorities of 03,150 acd
democratic majorities of 70,140 , losv-
in" a net republicinm iority of 14,010
votes.
The democratic estimates claim a
net democratic majority of 38.000 ma
jority. They base this claim uiran esti
mated majority in New York and
Brooklyn and Queens county of
83,000 and a gain in other democratic
counties throughout the state of
14,000 votes , thus giving 97,000 in
democratic majorities by counties.
Against this the democrats concede
59,315 republican majority in the
state , leaving a net democratic ma
jority of 33,440. Their estimated
gains it will ba seen are 7000 in New
York City'and 2000 in Brooklyn and
they concede an increase of only 1000
votes to the republicans in the state
outaido the city.
The republican grounds for belief
in their success seem to be based on
a stroug foundation of constant ac
cessions to their party , a complete or
ganization throrghout the state , and a
hearty co-operation of the merchants
and manufacturers in pushing the
work of the campaign. Tha moat san
guine of the republicans claim that
owing to the efforts to prevent illegal
voting m the democratic majority in
New Yotk city will ba cut down to
44,000 , and that the republican ticket
wilircome-down lo the Harlem river
with a clear 93,000 majority. More
conservative politicians place the net
republican majority at 15,000 , and
the lowest possible majority at 7COO.
THE last primaries scya the IfepvVt-

K FEBAT , " Zola's latest

strength end great interest. It is an
effort fully worthy of Emile Zjla's

Distributive Co-operation in England
Pioneer Tro-S.
It is now thirty-lour years "since
twentyeight mill operatives In Roch'
dale , Eiiibnd ; , raovad ! to make an
experiment in commercial co-opera
tion. They had b'como disgmtcd
with < li3 villain-Mis quality and out
rageous ptict1 ! of ijte groceries and

of flour , fifty pounds ol t attne.il , a
hundrfd-ffchiht of Migar and a firkin
of butter. They also secured a room
at an annual rent of 10 , aud ar
ranged that one of iholr number should
rltend j salesman , \ te * * h < > u two
tVenii ga in tLe wear. The firit night
when the queer ftore opened the
co-operUors wcrn i ? & witll a dis
orderly crowd of t' iir follow work
men , met to jeer utl uViide them.
For some timu th only Customer
were the tsrcnty-ei.lr who started the
project. The apcct 1 i'lon turned nut
well , and was at on.O u aled. More
flttiir , sugar , oatmivl iid bu'ter were
ordered , and tins tnm iu Urgerqiian
tities > Others njfr piosentcd them
selves Kb members , and others besides
members began to deal at the store.
In 1815 , the seccyid year , the mem
bers had increased to seventy-four ,
the capitil to 181 , the business done
amounted to 710 , and the profits
frero 22. Ev < ry succeeding year
showed an enormous development.
In 1850 the number of members
was COO ; the capital , 2227 ; busi
ness done , 13,279 ; profits , 830.
In 1800 , the figures were respectively
3,450 , 37,710 , 152,063 and 15-
000 , and now the number of members
is nearly 10,000 and the profits over
100,000 per annum. Tluso eloquent
figure * have spread the fame ot tha
Rochdale pioneer * all over the world.
3rom the original wheelbarrow-load
of groceries the business expanded
and took in other branches of trade ;
Grit a linen aud woolen drapery de-
pirtment wai added , then a butcher
shop and slaughter house , then shoemaking -
making and tailoring , followed by
coal cealing , bating and a flouring
mi 1. Now their trained experts buy
sugar , l a , coffee , wheat etc. , in the
countries where these different com
modities are produced aud ship them
homo by the cargo.
Tha splendid success at Rochdale
was quickly imitated , and at the pres-
day co-operativo stores exist in every
town and village in England. They
make all their purchases at whole
sale , anil payng always ready
money , they ara allowed a discount on
all they buy. Co-operative wholesale
stores have also sprung up , from
which the retail stores buy , receiving
tack their quota of profits made at
the wholesale stores. Then , flgain ,
"the co-operatives never sell on credit ,
and thcrefore4they make uo.bad debts ,
and they are able to turn over their
money many times in the course of a
twelvemonth. They are under no ex
penses for advertising , frr'the distri
bution of profits ia f r more efficacious.
They own their own buildings and are
under no expense for rent , ex
cept the interest of the money iu
vested in real o tate , while the ex
pense of management seldom cxcjods
one or two rer cent on the business
done. Whenever any one , member
or not makes a purchase ho receives a
tin ticket denoting the amount cf his
purchase. At the end of fixed pjriods ,
when profits are declared , a deduction
is made sufficient to pay members five
per cent , on their capital investedand
then the rest is divided among the
holders of the tia tickets pro rata ,
non-members receiving slightly less
than members. The purchaser buys
at the lowest currant rates , and ihen
has a portion of the profits returned
to him. Another great advantage is
that the goods purchased are genuine.
It is nobody's interest to adulterate
anything , or to palm off inferior
articles , or to give short weight
or incorrect measure. The whole
atmosphere of co-operation is honest ;
there ia no distrust or decep
tion , and no second prices , no over
reaching on the one side and no sus
picion on the other. In their early
career the English co-operative stores
learned many bitter lessons , especially
the smaller concerns ; chiefly from in-
competency and fraudulent manage
ment. But this
was only a ripple on
the great wave ; the whole system has
been reduced to scientific accuracy ,
and effectual guards have been estab
lished agitnst both incompetency and
fraud.
England has been called ths nation
of shopkeepers , and It is already- evi
dent that the principle of distributive
cooperation has but put a new face on
B large gestjon of * ' , ft jg
forcing thousands of imall tradesmen
into other avocations. Some yearsago
the "legitimate" shopkeepers and
tradesmen united in a frantic
effort to have the co-operative
societies suppressed by act of
parliament , because they were in
terfering with their means of liveli
hood ; but nothing came of it ; except
the fact , which was developed in the
debates which followed , that not only
members of parliament , but dukes
and marquises patronized the cooperative
ative stores , because their goods ware
of a better quality than those furnish
ed by the general trade. Cooperation ,
eliminates from commercial transac
tions the element of hazard. Tailure ,
and bankruptcy are unknown In Us
operations ; and on the other hand the
chance of achieving wealth by lucky
commerciyl ventures or by forestalling
the market no longer exists ; a fair
and certain remuneration , according
to ability , is all that can be predicated
of any of those employed in conducting
the business. It haa made obvious
the fact that less than one-third the
number of salesmen , clerks and ware
housemen usually employed are am
ply sufficient to supply the nceda of
Consumers ; and it has freed the cash-
paying customer from the.necessity of
bearing his share of the immense
losses incurred by tha merchant un
der the credit system. Another nota
ble effect is visible in the increased
comfort and marked improvem nt in
the habits of the English working
classses. Co operation encourages the
practice of saving and investing small
earnings , and provides means for
moral and intellectual improvement
through the system of reading-rooms
and libraries , which have , been estab'
liehed iu connection with the depot o
supplies.

Pretenses.
Five years ago this summer E. E.
Valentine who had been removed by
U. S Grant from the West Point land
ffice for crookedness , packed tha re-
ublican convention of the sixth ju-
icial district and secured for himself
iio nomination * of diatrict judge. Val
ntine was a mere ehyater , having no
letter standing at the bar than the
'edoubtable ' quack Mumey had among
ho member * of the medical profession.
When the returns were canvassed by
, ho state officers who constitute the
late board of canvassers , the board
iwarded the certificate of election to
Thomas L. Grifley , the democratic can-
dida'e Valentino procured a bafch
of affidavits to ahow that there had
been gome irregularity in the count.
He tnon secured the services of John
3. Cowin who agreed and stipulated
n advance that he would
prosecute .h'a ' claims before
he courts without charge.
The case was brought to trial before
the supreme court in November 1876 ,
pnd the court rendered the somewhat
extraordinary decision that E. K. Val
entine htd been elected judge of the
sixth judicial diatrict by a majority of
two votes and a half. Valentino soon

1879.This
This infamous steal was put through
the legislature by Valentine under
the pretense that he needed the $1875
top y attorney's fees an'd expanses in
curred in securing hia title to a Beaten
the bench ; whereas , aa a matter of
fact , Valentine did not pay a single
dime to his attorney , John 0. Cowin ,
and never even tendered him his ex-
peules for hotel bill and faro to Lin
coln.
coln.Now
Now , what do the tax-payers of Ne-
bra ka think of this salary grabber.
Will they endorse this man Valentine
who his drawn § 1875 from the state
treasury for eervices which were ren
dered by Judge Griffey and for which
Griffey had drawn pay. Can any
honorable man vote for Valentine
after such an txhib't of hia dishonesty.
