AS Ti i < -KITH 'ISM. "
Surgeon General Ste'rnberg rises to
remark that there "is an evident craze
to criticise." Inhstnuch as freedom of
.-?poceh is one of the most valuable pro
rogaiives bequeathed ""to the American
freeman, it Is by no means likely thai
he will relinquish it even If his opinions
?l.j hapjien to i-.-il, .-i upon the ability of
bureaucrats who fondly imagine chat
their positions place them upon a lofty
pedestal that lifts them alee-,, th,. crit?
icism of the "lowly herd."
While no intelligent person can have
either patience or tolerance for chronic
fault-Unding, ii is well i.. remember
that legitimate criticism has been pivi
iuidiv.-; of more reforms than any other
in.- power that has been exerted for
the benefit ??!' humanity, if men were
Loo cowardly to cr'ui.-izo tl*- conducl of
affairs in tie- war between Spain and
he United States, it would be impossi?
ble cot profit by any of the costly 1 -s
ons accentuated by tin- untimely death
..f so many brave young soldiers.
There can be no doubt licit Ibere is
-omething wrong in methods which
; ermit such conditions to .-xisi as have
..-en reported both from the fr.mt and
mm th.- points of mobilization in this
? ountry.
If we close our eyes to the truth and
eiyally exclaim, "The king can do no
arm: great Is the king!" there is ho
I.!' getting at the truth of the mat
?r and of remedying the defects in our
.'stem ..: handling troops.
Undoubtedly there is a craze to crit
eis'e, but if there is nothing worthy of
"ar Department friends nr.- worrying.
either truth nor justice has ever suf
.-red by Wing placed beneath the
. iys of critical analysis.
Wr- are pained to not,- tit,- atinounce
ent that th.- esteemed little- of Man
tester and Miss Joan Wilson have
,und It necessary to break their en
-gement. There would naturally 1?
? reason for grief if either of tin- ac?
id had come to the conclusion that a
;e and the engagement is broken
tnply on account of sordid, disen
i anting financial considerations. So
r as we kr,"-v,-, the "two beans still
?iuous task <?r supporting a family,
is is by no means surprising whet:
.- Js informed that the Duke's fort
not extensive, while Miss Wl
npiy has a mere bagatelle of i 1 -"*
.ear. Of course, th- parents of
trig people objected to their tstai
UK-Keeping on any such prospect;
t. While we know little aboil!
liens** incident to married lib?
er cilits* we feej sure that if
?<ce and Miss Wilson would only <? ....
Newport New* they could manag'-,
it their income, to keep tin- wolf
so. the door by being economical.
