A Fact which even political economists are apt to forget is that a manufacturer's rate of profit is not the only essential element of suc- cess; the aggregate profit at the end of the year is of far greater importance, and this in most cases is greater out of a lowrate of pro- fit than out of a high rate, because of the in- creased business, which the low price gives rise to. It was on this principle that Messrs. Tuckett & Son acted in introducing their now famous ‘‘ Myrtle Navy” tobacco, and _ to this

inciple they have ever since adhered. This ce of the reasons why the people of Canada

‘are smoking the best tobacco which can be

produced, at a cheaper price than other peo- ple can buy a similar article. ce

His industry is, indeed, singular. Not a bill came before the House with the details of which he did not display the most thors ough acquaintance, not a committee of im portance met without finding him in at: tendance, not a legal point was raised that did not receive elucidation from him.

a ee The Peace Society.

_ The English Peace Society is an institu- tion that serves to give the opportunity of indulging in a large amount of talk to a coterie of ‘respectable gentlemen, whom, except for the existence of their pet organ-

ization, the world would probably never hear of. They come out strong when dan-

ger is threatening, and scream against resort to or preparation for war by their own country, while its enemies are girding themselves for the fight. That their protests and pleadings are of no avail, or that if they were, evil to their land would be the result, does not affect them. - Their last annual report is a peculiar document. It rejoices over the settlement of the Afghan boundary difficulty as a triumph for their principles, though events that are yet fresh in the mind might lead others to think that Great Britain’s preparation for war and Russia’s conviction that its rulers meant to fight had most to do in staving off hostili- ties. The disastrous results of the Soudan campaign, entered into in face of the society's protest, is brought up asa proof of the wisdom of their suggestions, though they were never made to the Mahdi, nor is it known what the results of letting that fanatical patriot have his undisputed way might have been. The report objects to Hnglish youth being taught the rudiments of the art of war on-the school board pre- mises, and closes with a cry of jubilation over an unauthoritative statement that sixty of England’s ironclads are unfit for service.

— rnc + GE + Aa —— Correcting An Error.

The New York Times publishes a letter from a correspondent at St. Louis, who says ‘*it is a slander upon the American people to say that twenty or even ten millions of them are ready to back the Irish in the Home Rule fight.” The writer asserts, without fear of contradiction, ‘‘ that there are not 50,000 American-born citizens of the United States who have ever contributed a cent to the Home Rule fund.” He adds: ‘*No Home Rule sympathy has been shown from our greatest industrial class, the far- mers. When you hear of public men dona- ting to the Irish cause, remember that they are either office-holders or office-seekers,

with large Irish constituencies. To please the sentiment of the purely Irish element in our cities, must not be mistaken for the sentiment of the American people. Nine- tenths of the leaders in the present railway strikes in this country are Irish. A firm determination exists, if these labor agita- tions, carried on by foreign-born men, con- tinue, to form a party of native-born Americans only, to see that none but natives of this land obtain offices of trust or power.”

A Curious Point in Criminal Law.

The English Court for Crown Cases Re- served has just decided a curious point in criminal law. One man aimed a blow at another, but, missing him, _struck and wounded a woman. He was tried for strik- ing the woman and found guilty by the jury. It was admitted that he did not intend to strike her, and that the blow was purely accidental. The Court sustained the conviction. Lord Coleridge explained that the prisoner ‘“‘intended to do an unlawful act, and in doing it he inflicted the injury. The intent to injure a particular person 1s not required.” This is, the offence is made out if the assailant purposely and maliei- ously strikes at one person but hits another.
