cpInINAl. SPECULATION.

II A crime is defined as an act
the doing of which is prohibited by
law. stock speculation cannot be
considered criminal, but when the
word crime is used in its broader
sense TO describe an act which
offends against morality or the pub
lie welfare, it certainly includes
that species of grmbling upon the
market which endangers the com
munity as well as Injuries the par
ticipants. A record of Wall
Streets doings for the last week Is
an indictment against our boasted
civilization. That such transac'
tions are allowed is as much a re
Election upon the intelligence OF
the country as it is upon the con-
science of the people. It's little
less than amazing that a few men
should be permitted to corner the
market for their own selfish purpo-
ses, beat down the price Of one
stock and boom the price of an
other stock, demoralizing business
and jeopardizing the interests of
all classes of society 1t is re-
ported that the slump in stocks
amounted to seven hundred mil
lions in value, and that the New
York banks had to put up nearly
twenty millions of dollars to pre-
vent a panic How will the his

authorities have i~ngeniously chosen IT
as a medium for the teaching of his

ard as the age Of a tree can be inferred
from the number Of rings which its
cross section disoloses this one must
have been 533 years old. In other
words, it was born in 1852, and it lived
through the most interesting part Of
English history-froln Edward III. to
Victoria.
1t is therefore a simple matter to
r:ark different rims with tfeir dates
