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.

The Man Who Does Things.
Hue Is n Ecnlfmunt (Mice penned by
Colonel RoofevoR which is nil ut illy

less criticism of our public men nnd
public parties, wo need unspjilng con

progiess Is accomplished by the man

who talks about how they ought or

It Is because Colonel Roosevelt "does

conspicuous place In the estimation of
the people. It cannot be doubted by

day, Oct. C, arc proceeding at Omaha
on a scale of great llberullty nnd all
who shall avail themselves of this op

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

A Repetition of History.
History has a habit of lepeatlug It

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

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,

army nnd the sailors of our navy who nro

Tho copperheads then were, ns the
copperheads now arc, against the gov

otism of the people will not fall when

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.
