We are much gratified to learn that

meiits which \\‘t‘lc originated and can
ricd on by the Mutual Improvement h‘o~
cloty with so much pleasure to those who
attended them are to be continued.
Min-i Dibble. the President of the Si-
ciety‘. and on whom the labor and
time of getting up lliecnteitsinnieiits
mostly devolved. has been. we are sorry
l'l learn. from illness aiil press of her
own affairs. obliged to allow the matter
to pass into other hands. but has kindly
allowed her experience in arranging
for the courses already given to be
drawn upon by those who now have the
matter in charge. “‘e are pleased with
this. Tor from the knowledge of what
we have had. we feel assured there will
be no falling off in the good taste and
judgment which has invariably char-
ncterired the delightful entertainments
provided for us through the efforts of
this lady.
The course tllis season is gotten up
by the Library aiii Free Reading R'iom
Corporation, for the benefit of that ins.
stitutimi. and. as heretofore. through
the kindness of its trustees. given in the
Congregational church.
The first entertainment in the course
will be given on Monday evening ncxt.
when Mr. A. 1'. Burbank. the popular
elocutionist. will delight his audience
with some of his inimitable recitals.
To thtfse who have heard this gentleman.
it would be a waste of time to say a
word. for no one who has ever had that
pleasure once but will. if opportunity
offers. hear him the second time. But
to those who have never heard him and
care'for a hearty laugh. or to shed a sym‘
.patlietic tcnr. we say. don‘t fail to hear
him. for in this respect he is_ a wonder.
\Vlth him it is but a step from the ins
spiriiig sublime to the laughable ridicu«
lous. or from the p'ithcfic lo the guy.
The testimony of the press seems quite
unanimous in pronouncing hi'm master
of his art. _.
“‘9 hope to see the churchfeiu Monday
eveningfncxt filled in every part. for
we know it will be a thoroughly en) wa-
lilt‘ affair.

Reports About (‘osutlurat ion that \iirprlu‘i-
Iln- (ti-Operator‘s ‘l'liciiiselvcs.
Last Sunday the New York “child had
a lengthy account of the Hit Trade. in
which was given an intchiew with Mr.
tioldsinitli. who claims i i represent co—
operative factory No. ‘3 in this cilv.
which is appended to this llrlli‘ii‘. It
will surprise our readers to learn that Ilils
factory has established a school and li-
brary. and that its employees earn such
enormous wages. People who live here
will wonder when the two tires occured
which totally destroyed their factories.
and beastonished to learn that 85 em-
ployees are stockholders and receive the
full amount of the stock in dividends
per annuni. In short they will llt‘dullllh
{nun led at the presumptuous and sin
peiidimus lying of Mr. (Goldsmith. If
one-tenth of what he claims for
" operation were true every manufacturer
of liatsjn this city would quadrnp‘e his
profits by: adopting it at once. One of
the co~opcrative concerns has failed.
and the other has not met with more suc—
cess than the average of manufacturers.
No school or library has been established
and none of the miscellaneous benefits
derived which are portrayed in the
Herald. The infereiict~ that there is an
oppositiitt here i i co-operaiive factories
does the place injustice. \\'lth good man-i
agemeiit cooperative factories will be
as successful as others. and with full co.
operation the most equitable results to
all concerned will he » assured. Follow—
ing is the Herald account:
t‘uwfl‘EltATlUN AN i'.\‘i~:t.it‘.\l.i.i:ii st‘cci‘ss.
“The batters have made the t‘tl-(‘Pt‘f‘l‘l-
live system a success. The South Nor.
walk factory is conducted from .\ to 7,
on that principle.- and the result will
doubtless gratify the ardent advocates of
the system. Nearly cvery‘niati and wo—
man is a stockholder in the concern and
a participant in the yearly dividends to
the full amount of their stock. At the
close of each fiscal year the books are
examined by a board of directors who
make a report of expenses and rcccipts
during the year and the surplus’lin hard.
This surplus is then divided. Unedialf
is set aside for the reserve fund. onc-
fotirth is distributtid among the share-
holders and the remainder defrays the
expense of the schools established for the
children of the workers. These have
been in operation eighteen months and
the pupils number seventy. The male
teacher receives $1.2th a year and the fe-
male teacher $300. There is also a librarv
containing 500 volumes. 3‘ lyccum and it
debating society. Each head'of a family
employed in this factory owns his Owh
house and feels independent.“
THE SOUTH XORWALK IIA'I‘ t‘UMPANY.
Mr. Edward Goldsmith is the mana-
ger of the South Nor-walk Ctr-operative
Hat Store located in 250 Bowery. ~ It is
designated “ Branch No.1.“ and was
started in March. 1836. with a capital of,
$2.500‘ and a membership of fourteen,
since increased to twenty-five. “ When
we started in‘Snuth Norwalk. about two
years ago." said Mr. Goldsmith, “our
capital and our working force was even
less. 3450 being the amount and eight
men the force. Our factory was a reguA
Iar one'borse concern: but. we deter-ruin-
ed to make it a success and we did.”
“How 3’“
“Byrperserverance. by hanging toget-
her; by making the interest. of each the
interest of all. by working for a common
purpose and mportionate profits. Our
cooperative actor-y and store hands are
all Knigha of Labor. and our object in
starting this business was to bring? into
practical use the cardinal principle of
that organization. which is (lo-operation.
We wished to prove to workmen in other
industries that that is the only solution
of the labor question ; that ctr-operation
can and must succeed if started on the

" More than falls t.i the lot. of infant

so we were all broken up. but we took

we were again burned out. but we had

M. s‘.\':‘.\‘_ Editors «l was pleased I i sci-
by a notice published iu your l:i~l issue
that otlici‘s beside iiiysrlt’ feel that thuc
cause for c iiiiplaiiit :ig'iiiist \\'ll;ll
”seems i llllt‘ a selfish. uncommonly mean
management of the sins t iailroml ruli-
mug between this city and the borough.
in affording the public the accommoda-
tions it has a right to cxtlccl for ihe ino-
iiopoly it enjoys iirtlic use of our streets.
Thu writer of this has in ipicnt t cea-
siou to pass over the road. and often.
Iltll finding a car at hand. I‘.illli‘t‘ than
shiver on the curb waiting for one. starts
to walk llllllklllg that one \\ ill overtake

(if his jnirney without llctlrlllg‘ the gill'
gle of a bell coming in liisdircction. and
about twice in three times finds himself
so near the terminus that lltililln; would
he gained by then taking a car.
It is to he lamented that the author of
the 'notice alluded to burlt sqticd the
management of the road instead of git}
in}; such a notice as would allow rhi-
people to go before the Legislature and
represent it as it actually wmsis. for
should that have been the case I have
no doubt but such a Slitintig could be
made ast i cause that body to annul thi-
charter of the company. or to so amend
it as to riipiire thi- coiiipziiiy to afford
such acc.iniiiiodiitioiis to the traveling:
public as the business of the road can
“‘t'“ afford.
I heard it said that the company
could not run cars more fl‘t quent than‘
they do for the rcasou of a single track.
This may be true. but it is no reason
why they should not make all cffort to
obtain the privilege of laying.r a double
track and show a disposition to acComJ
niodate the public : nor isit any reason
why they should not run cars late
enough to accommodate persons attend»
ing churches or visiting.' places of aniuse~
merits; nor is it any reason why they
should require their passengers to take
a seat in‘a car which from its dillapida-
ted appearance causes them to remain‘
during their ride under constant appre~
hension of a collapse. and that the old
thing will come rattling about their
ears; or on stormy days to cause passed
gets to turn up their cost collars to keep
the rain and snow out of their necks.
I have no objections. Messrs. Editors.
' to these special franchises. nor that stock-
holders should receive fat divnlends on
their investments. but in return I insist
that the public should be decentlyannd
comfortably accommodated. and that in
the case of street railroads. they should
be required to keep abreast the times.
In this respect I am sorry to say our city
and borough road falls far behind, for
from the antiquated appearance of some
of the cars nno would think they might
have been among the first built after the
introduction of street railroads.
I trust the notice will have the effect
doubtless wished for by its author, and
that. its echos will wake the managers of
the road .from their Rip Van {\Vinkle
sleep to a realizing sense that the popu-
lation of out town has increased upwards
of a third since the road was first. open-
ed. and that our present wants have far
outstripped whaflanswmxd our purposes
eighteen or nineteen years ago.

A L'Iily‘s Complaint,
Jlr. I-Itli‘i‘or: ~I am clad that an rt‘fort
is beint: made to improve the manage-
nivii' of the horse railroad. I have ix-
pl‘l‘lt'l"t’d as much in ii \}'t\l‘l(‘t‘ on this
road. perhaps. as aiiv one. and to me. a
woman. nearly all the aiiiioyat co s‘i‘cliis
unnecessary. If the drivers and coli—
ductors were specially instructed to put
passengers to all the trouble possible. 1
don‘t know what they could do more
than they are doing to carry out such an
order. There is hardly a car tli.it leaves
this city. but those who want to I‘lkt‘ it
after it has st irted. are compelled to run
and t‘dll after it. and often they do that
in vain. The drivers given“ tlicirattcn‘
tioii to their horses. and act as though
they took special delight in having pas-J
sengers run through the mud. ”ii the
cat's there is no order. \thn people go
to the borough to an eiitcrtiiiuiiieiil. if
they can get in a car to come lint‘k they
.are often subjected to the glosses! rowdy"
ism. and the conductors licvcr make an
attempt to stop it. I hope smoothing
will he done to make the ii\\'iirrs of the
road pay some attention to the c llllfur
and convenience of the public. If.
