Among thc Union? ists all but two deputies opposed him, while among the monarchists in the Cortes lt Ls said 166 out of 200 wLU support his claim. Thc Robber of the Period. An order for three thousand dollars, in fa? vor of Mr. D. T. Corbin, approved by Mayor Pillsbury, was presented for payment at the City Treasury yesterday. How did it get there? At the meeting of the City Council held on Thursday last, Alderman Cunningham of? fered a resolution that Mr. Corbin be paid three thousand dollars for his professional services. The Mayor put the question, but there was so much confusion in the civic temple that only five or six Aldermen voted. There were, however, four votes against, and two in favor of Alderman Cunningham's resolution. The yeas and nays were called for, and then began the exhibition of Bil? lingsgate rhetoric which ended in one Alder? man firing thrice at another Alderman with a Colt's army revolver. The vote by yeas and nays was not taken, the resolution was not adopted; yet Mayor Pillsbury, when asked for information, refused to say what was its exact position. ? We do not discuss now whether the ser? vices of Mr. Corbin were worth three thous? and dollars, or whether the city should pay the fees for services rendered to the Mayor and Aldermen as "rivate citizens. This has nothing to do with the present question, which is-whether Mayor Pillsbury has the right to empty the City Treasury, when and how it suits him? A vote of Council would have relieved Mayor Pillsbury of all respon? sibility. This he did not wait for. The claimant hungered for the Joaves and fishes, and the gentle Mayor could not, or would not, resist his honied pleading. We expect to be robbed, and shall not be disappointed. But we did not look for so flagrant a violation of all rules of reason, right and decency as is shown in this last freak of our eminently honorable Mayor. Well what next? Industrial Partaerthipi. The Earl of Derby, then Lord Stanley, re? marked the other day that co-operation was a "good thing," and he predicted "its suc "ceas." Than Lord Stanley, no man in Bnglaad or America ls more worthy of at? tention, and he praises co-operation because it is human nature that a man should like to feel that he ls "a gainer by any extra in? dustry he may put forth, and that he should "like to have some sense of proprietorship "in the shop or mill in which he passes his "days," This is the whole question in a nutshell; but Lord Stanley was evidently speaking not of the ordinary co-operative associations, but of what are oiled indus? trial partnerships. There are two distinct objects which the workingmen, whether- common laborers or skilled mechanics, are striving to obtain. The one is protection, and the other is pro? gress. The Trades Unions, in England at all events, give the working men ample pro? tection against arbitrary combinations on the part of employers, and this can be had, and will be had, without recourse to mea? sures of violence like those which brought down upon the Sheffield Sawgrinders the deserved condemnation of the public. Natu? rally and reasonably the workingman is a lover of fair play and equal rights. The true workingman will not consent to help in maiming or killing his mates because they refuse to belong to an association which is intended for their benefit. The black sheep may attempt to persuade the non-union man by beating and woundiug. The honest artisan will wait, knowing that self-interest must in time bring all the workmen who are worth having into what is purely a protec? tive and defensive association. In England the Trades Unions have grown so rapidly in numbers and importance that a measure for their recognition as legal incorporations will undoubtedly receive Parliamentary sanc? tion; and Lord Stanley, speaking in behalf of a conservatism which is far from being pre? possessed in their favor, is content to recog? nise them as inevitable, and, on the whole, a satisfactory form of popular combination. The co-operative movement represents what may be termed the aggressive side of modern labor, as opposed to Trades Unions the defensive side. Co-operation in this country, in its simplest shape, has not been strikingly successful." The co-operators have been able to obtain provisions, for in? stance, of full weight and good quality, at a fair market price; hut the direct profits have not been large. Nor could any extension of the principle, in its present application, meet the great want of either employers or employed. The employers want to induce their workmen to take au active and a per? sonal interest in their occupation. As it 6tands, the good workmen does his work faithfully, and receives his well-won wages. But he eau do more thau this. He eau watch over and protect the interests of his employers in a hundred ways, and this he will not do-it is not reasonable to expect it-un? less a saving or a benelit to the employer is a saving or a benefit to him. The employer understands this argument, and, therefore, when co-operation for production lakes the shape of an industrial partnership, it is tole? rably certain to succeed. In England, the industrial partnership has been tried. The experiment has been made in various branches of industry, under va? rious conditions, but all maintaining the es? sential principle of giving the artisan a di? rect interest in the results of his labor, and furnishing him with a fresh inducement lo make them productive. In some cases the movement was made by the employers ; in others it originated with the employed; but iu all, the experiment has proved satisfac? tory enough to justify its indefinite exten? sion. Industrial partnerships will satisfy (he im? patient energies of the workmen of to-day. They rise steadily in the social scale and will not and shall not sink to the Lvel of a mere machine. They claim the privilege of following their handiwork beyond the gates of the factory and of becoming identified with its progress. They claim that they and their employers are one, aud ask that they be given an association as inseparable as their interests. This will not be denied them, and as yean roll by capital, the or? ganizer, and labor, the producer, may walk side by side in the smiling ways of industry and peace. Reviews. JOHN PLOUGHMAN'S TALK; or Plain Advice for Plain People. By C. H. Spurgeon. New York : Sheldon &"Co. A man may win notoriety by a happy ac? cident; he cannot wiu and keep distinction without having something better in his gifts than the capricious bounty of Fortune. Of this truth Spurgeon affords an illustration; that he is an English celebrity is due to his having a good deal of brain, a good deal of zeal, and a good deal of industry. He would make a stir anywhere. A strong man never resting prevents stagnation in a community. Besides, he has the gifts of a popular lead? er-heartiness, humor, courage. All these qualities John Ploughman's Talk reveals. It might be named Spurgeons opinions about people whom he and all of us have met. It is a book of friendly chat and jovial ban? ter and aphoristic wisdom-funny, homely, good-natured-pleasant to read and profita? ble to ponder. While upon this subject, we may be allowed, iu justice to Mr. Spurgeon, to say that John Ploughman's Talk is not a specimen of the author's pulpit perform? ances, as a sensational story recently pub? lished would seem to indicate. Mr. Spur? geon is not accustomed to ring bells or slide down banisters, as a part of Iiis public ministrations, but preaches to as orderly and serious a congregation as can be found in England. Oftentimes homely iu illustra? tion, he is uniformly earnest In the sacred desk. This volume will serve to show what he could do if he should undertake to excite the risibles of a public audience. ?ox Sole. REAL ESTATE OR PERSONAL PRO?
