GOODNESS AND COURAGE.

Too much praise cannot be bestowed on
Capt. Watkins and his officers and crew
for the signal courage, skill and self-pos-
session which distinguished them ON the
occasion of what might have proven TO
be. an awful calamity.
Wherever the blame is to rest for the
blunder which resulted in steering tba
Paris on the rocks, those in charge Of tba
vessel are none the less entitled to tbe
credit which must attach for the wondar-
full GOODNESS and efficiency shown in So
curing the safety Of the passengers The
result is little. short of provident;aI as
pecially in view Of the fate within 40
short a time of the steamer Moheean
Nothing short evidently of true Yankee
ability to meet a desperate situation will
explain the absence of like results in tha
case Of the later wreck on the Manac,as
reef.
There has undoubtedly been criminal
negligence or Indifference to human safety

THE WASTES OF DISTRIBUTION.

The economic tendency of Industries Is
to find the line of least resistance on
which the end sought may be attained
with the least expenditure of effort. The
primary end sought by the persons en-
gagged is profit, and the line of least re-
sistance in making and marketing their
product is the one which they expect will
yield them, in its diminution of cost Of
production, larger profit But in the
free interplay Of all these Individual ef-
forts the profit gained is pared away I'M
til only the normal remains, unless the
interfering hand of legislation defects
the natural processes Of distribution.
Everywhere one sees, in the Industrial
field, where intelligence directs effort. the
constant reduction of cost of production
and of that part of distribution in which
products are carried over long distances
between maker and consumer. Did not
past experience make the question haz-
ardous, one might doubt if reduction can
go much farther without impairment of
that margin of profit which sustains pro-
duction.
In the final steps of distribution. the
conveyance from the retailer to the con-
sumner, the economic lessons seem not to
have been learned or the evolutionary
process has not yet reached them. But
the process which. in manufacture. took
the looms from the homes and conceo-
trated them in the factory will some time
be worked out in these last processes of
distribution How wasteful of enerev
