Two Kinds of Criticism. There aro two forms of criticism, tv pilled In national affairs just now l.v the differing attitudes of tho Demo cratic and Republican parties with te tpect to the war. One Is the attitude of critical destruction; the criticism that sweeplngly and Indiscriminately condemns without offering any sugges tions of Improvement. The other Is the attitude of constructive criticism, the criticism that analvzes facts and evidence with n view both to punish established guilt and to locate stiuc tural defects preparatory to supplying the required remedies. The Democratic press which is now "hovering buzzard-like over the battle-fields and hospitals and graveyards, looking only for the misery and suffer ing and death which are inevitable in wat," with the purpose of exnggeiat ing these honois fot campaign effect, is giving a pecullaily nauseating ex ample of the criticism that destroys. Its woik is wholh censorious and fault-Pnding these narrow -vlsloned fecouts ot misfortune take no time fiom their calamity-howling to sug gest something original In vvaj of re lief or cure. But the admlnlstiation at Washing ton, under leadetship of William Mc Klnley who led so giandly both before the war began and during the active lighting. Is new giving an example of the Republican kind of criticism, the ciltlciam that builds up, by appointing a compctcn' and oxpeilenced non-par-tKan commission of innuliy to ti averse the whole subject of wai management, discover exactlv the defects without piejudice ot passion nnd, having dis covered them to it-port them so that the legislative genlu" ot tho country can effect the necessary revision. Which toim of irltlusm appetls to the eountrj s" patilotlsm and sense of fair pluj ? Meanwhile Cnloi"l Stun- goes on his Wii, without fuss oi hi isle1.

Hue Is n Ecnlfmunt (Mice penned by Colonel RoofevoR which is nil ut illy re. ulleit nt this time- We need fear less criticism of our public men nnd public parties, wo need unspjilng con demnation of all pci sons and nil prin ciples thet count for evil In our pub lic life but It behooves every man to lemeinbci that the work of the ciltlc, impnttnnt though It is, is of second atv tmpoitPtice, and that, In the end, progiess Is accomplished by the man vs ho does things, and not by the man who talks about how they ought or ought not to be done." It Is because Colonel Roosevelt "does things' that he occupies his present conspicuous place In the estimation of the people. It cannot be doubted by those who have read his writings that he possesses ample ability to serve with distinction as u ciltlo if he were Inclined to give, his energy that vent George William CurtlB, when nllve, Carl Schurz and their class of censor ions commentatojs upon other men's actions never had a stronger or clearer intellect than "Toddy" of the Rough Rldera; but while they sat In their study windows and theorized about men nnd conditions known fiom afar Rooiovelt tliievv hlmnelf into the hurlv burly and did a strong man's cour ageous part In "doing things."

On the contrary, his oplrlt vv.in shown when hp sent word to the picsldent from Santiago: "One nunrter of my commune! has suiten di rod to bullets and one-ti'Jntter to disease, but the remaining half Is ready to go ahead whenever ordered." It Is a refieshlng svmptom of tho virility of the best Amerlrun public sentiment that It takes delight In conferring honor upon audit n tine type of public servant upon the mun who "Oops tlilncs."

The Omaha fair, which Is very little less notable than was the World's fair at Chicago, Is Im proving with nge Having already cleared more than all its expenses, the management Is disposed to make things hum during tho exposition's eoneludlng weeks and all who can, should go. Learning Through Experience. Regardless of the findings to be made by the Commission of Investigation the people of the United States have ul ready learned many valuable lessons In consequence of the war and arc prc pailng to apply them In legislation. Certain broad lessons aie apparent to everybody; a", for enmple, that we need a large navy, a modernized regu lar army twice or thrice Its picsent size, and icserve depots of mllllary equipment and supplies: but there have also been a number of less conspicu ous lessons which In the aggregate possess considerable value A cones pondent of the Tlmcs-Heiald thus makes note of them: "The twelve company formation for regiments was among tho first. Au thority to enlist a professional cook In every company was nn Jmportant change. Hospital ships were supplied early In the campaign and have proved a great blessing. The aimy has also had a hospital train In service for some time bringing sick nnd wounded north. Troopships specially fitted for the transportation of soldleis will hereaf ter be a peimanent featuie of the mili tary establishment, and If the European plan Is adopted they will be turned over to the navy to be hindled by naval officers at the call of the army. Smoke less powder for armj and navy Is com ing Into use as fast ns It can be man ufactured The old 45-callber Springfield rifle is doomed, and the King-Jot gen sen or some other magazine gun will supplant it. In the navy greater de pendency will be put on lapld-flie cannon. The navy was well supplied with distilling apparatus to supply puie vvatei, nnd Indications point to some similar device for lessening typhoid fever in army camps. Tho navy Is likely to get a new svstem of rewards for Its heioes Instead of advancing i gallant officer five or ten numbers nt the expense of five ot ten of his fellow ofiiceis, the row aid may be a medal and a permanent increase In pay. The navv department has committed Itself to battle hlps that shall make more than eighteen knots an houi, though It was on the point several weeks ago of letting contracts for three ships of sixteen knots with a piovislon that they would be accepted If they made only fifteen knots. Tho naval reserves may be made a national oiganlzatlon, nnd aro certain, because of the demon stration of their value, to find gi eater favor In tho eves of the government and the navy department." All these things, and many others. have been taught and have been ac cepted as the results of experience The expetts foresaw most of them and, had their advice been heeded, would have av cited a lot of suffering and tiouble. Hut the American people In matteis like these will not leam wis dom in any other school. They de mand to be convinced bv actual test. If this war had developed no weak spots In mlllfuv 'admlnlstiation It would have lacked educational effect. Those who now complain In great measure have themselves to blame for past failure to bestow deeived thought upon mllltarv subjects. "When this war began the clothing that the men have worn was on the back of animals. There was no am munition, no transportation, there was nothing hejond the war depattment but a great llch nation burning with patriotism. Almost In a night an army was uiganlzed nnd equipped that paral vzeil the nation with which we had to deal, nnd has awakened the admir ation of the win Id I have no apology to make for what has been done. I um willing to let the lecoid ot the cam paign stand and speak for Itself." Soc ietal y Alger at Jacksonville. A Repetition of History. History has a habit of lepeatlug It selt. The action of tho Connecticut Democmcj the either day In affirming by resolution that "the admlnlstiation of President McKlnley has been ut teily incompetent to discharge the ob ligation which the management of tho war Imposed" and chaiglng It with "venality In high places" recalls the plank adopted by the Democratic party In Its national platform In 1861, which was as follows: Resolved, That this convention does ex pllcitly declare, as tho sense of tho Amer ican people, that after four jcara ot tall ure to restore tho Union by the expert ment of war, during which, undti tno pretence of a mllltaiv necessity ot a war power higher than the. constitution, tho constitution itself has been dlnrcMrdt d In everj pait, and publlo llbeity and pri vate rlfilltb trodden down, und the mate rlil prosperity of tho country cssentlnllj Impaired, Justice, humanlt, liueity, and tho public welfare demand llml Imme diate efforts be made for u cessation or hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of all the states, or other peace means. to tho end that at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis ot tho fed eral Union of all tho states. Resolved, That the Bhxmeful disregard of the administration to It duty In r upect to our fellow citizens who now are. nnd long have been, prisoners or war, In a suffering condition, deserves the fie vrtcot reptolmtlon on tho scoro alike of public policy nnd common humanity. Resolved. That tho svmpathv of tho Democratic pnrty Is heartily and earn, cstlyt extriidcd to (ho soldiers of our army nnd the sailors of our navy who nro nnd hnvo been In tho Held or on the sea under tho ling of their country. Tho copperheads then were, ns the copperheads now arc, against the gov ernment: but now, n3 then, the patri otism of the people will not fall when put to the tort, cither on tho filing lltio or nt tho ballot box. On Thursday the voters of the Do minion of Canndn will say nt tho polls whether or not they fnvor the passago of an net prohibiting the Importation, manufacture and sale of spirits, wine, nle, beer, elder and nil other alcoholic liquors for ufo ns beverages. This ques tion has been thoroughly discussed and the decision will attract universal at tention. Tho English war correspondents nre now finding fault with General Kitch ener because tho latter did not let them publish his campaign plans In advance, but the good offices of Sylvester Scovel have not jet been Invoked. To successfully perform th" respon sible and seilous duties of the gover norship of n great commonwealth like I'tnnsvlvnnla requires something more than nn uplltude for Intcmperat" sus picions. The way to get along successfully with General Blanco Is to cause him to undei stand from the beginning that he is no longer the whole s,how. The Powers nre again sending ulti matums to the Sultan. Rut he doesn't mind. It will take some of out war ships to stir him up. It does not look as thouch Colonel Roosevelt will have much difficulty In again becoming a citizen of Now York. Governor Black seems to have been afflicted with a severe case of the wicked partner. Repotts indicate that tho existence of the Emperor of China Is decidedly fe line. It seems about time that an expedi tion was sent to conquer Blanco. TOLD BY THE STAHS. Daily Horoscope Drawn by AJacchus, The Tiibune Astiologer.
