The Quaker ANALOGY.

When the Jew bill" was arousins
the attention of Englishmen in the
sos, the London Punch expressed the
fears of the opponents of the bill by
giving picture of the house of COM
mons, all the members of which had
figure six" noses, and had triple hats
upon their brows, as was customary
with the dealers in old clothes at the
time.
With IA Jewish members of parlia-
ment in the new house Of commons
and three Jewish members of the min
istry, of whom two are in the cabinet,
it would almost seem as If Punch's
prophecy was in fair way toward full
fillment. But the analogy of the
Quakers is sufficient to prove the fall
laciousness of this kind of reasoning.
At one time there were no less than
five men in the British cabinet who
were either Quakers of the old school,
like John Bright, or Reform Quakers,
like w. E. Forster, or men of Quaker
descent. 1t looked as if England was
going to be ruled in Quaker spirit,
but nothing came Of it.
Such freaks of statistics are bound
to occur for, as Aristotle says, it is
part of the probable that the improb-
able should happen.-American He
