TO-DAY completes the first year of THE
CRITIC under its present management
IL is not our intention to descant at length
upon the subject of ourselves. But we will
ask the indulgence of the public while we
call attention to the following salient facts;
We have built up the only real evening
newspaper ever published in Washington.
We have multiplied the actual circula.
tion of the paper nine times.
We have gotten together the most per.
fectly equipped newspaper establishment
of its size in the country.
Starting to all intents and purposes
anew, we have made THE CRITIC an cs-
tablished institution and profitable
property.
This we have accomplished in the face
of unusual difficulties.
At this time next year, if we live, we
shall greet our patrons with survey of
still greater progress.

THE.SENATE adheres with tenacity to its
executive function. 1t will not even con-
slider the confirmation of tariff commits
sioners with open doors. since the death
of IAN eminent New England statesman no
official report of executive proceedings has
been accessible to the press. This is mat
ter of regret. There should be an official
reporter. AS it is the correspondents are
compelled to exercise their own ingenuity,
which has tendency to wear upon the
system in the long run.

The typographical error is almost al
ways placed where it will do the most
harm. Thus, yesterday, the types made
us say that the alleged "report" of our
testimony by the Associated Press con-
sisted Of ANSWERS that were never made to
questions that are never asked" What we
wrote was ANSWERS that ,ue never made to
questions that were never asked" That is
the proper way to describe the alleged
"report" of our testimony by the ASS.
Press. We like to be exact.

THERE is in our possession q Aint-lock
musket that came to this country in the
shipload of arms sent from France in 1779.
1t has seen service in two wars with Great
Britain. But since the development of the
venerable Frelinghuysen's foreign policy,
we have felt ashamed to look our old musket
in the face.

EIGHTY-Two years ago the English un-

Now the French and English together ap-

Cairo, who, at the age Of eleven, witnessed
the battle between Lord Nelson aud
Brueys in Aboukir Bay. If this veteran
is still alive he may sec French and
English fleets fighting in common cause on

has been foreshortened by whisky. But the

overproduction by marginal fund of two
rer cent. for the benefit of the weaker
brethren.
Six hundred thousand dollars is one
Hftoth part of S3oOOO,0O0. The story of
the Ringsters. therefore, implies that forty
nine out of every fifty men engaged in
distilling are able TO carry an overproduc-
tion Of their wares hundred per cent. in
advance of the market. This is absurd on
its face. There is not branch of business
in the world capable Of standing under
such load No; the plain probability is
that the 100000 was "used," not ITO help
the weaker brethren carry their stocks"
but TO help all the brethren carry their bill
providing for loan or subsidy from the
Government.
We do not suppose, however, that the
whole truth about the matter will ever be
known until, through the defeat of their
job, the weaker members of the Ring
begin to feel the pinch of bankruptcy.
Then they will begin to squcal. But they
are certain to hang together so long as a
single hope remains of securing their sub
sidy. The only sure way of smashing the
Ring, therefore, is by crushing their job.
This view of the case is by no means
novel one. 1t is not original with us. We
have heard it put forward as a basis of
policy by men in position to give force and
effect to it at the proper time.
THE ADVOCATES of the levee system for
the Mississippi River point with PRIDE
to the river Po, in Italy, as a proof of the
benefits of the levee system, q member of
the River Commission asserting that levees
have not raised the bed of that river. The
American Encyclopedia, an authority at least
equal 20 the River Commission, says of
the Po:
Destructive floods are liable to happen
at all seasons and the flat country along its
lower source renders artificial embank-
ments necessary. Below Pracenza dikes
have been formed, but extensive inunda-
tions occasionally happen. The bed of the
Po is continually raised By deposits, aild this
renders necessary a corresponding increase IN
The embanLments. The surface of the river
is from fifteen to twenty feet above that of
the adjacent country. The Po is 400 to
600 yards wide and from IL to 30 feet
Deep"
The Po, compared to the Mississippi, is
small river. 1t drains country of
| 10000 square miles only, while the Missis-
sippi, the majestic Father of Waters, drains
an empire of / ,250,000 square miles in ex-
tent!
If the bed of the Po is continually rising,
making necessary continual increase in
| the height of the levees, will it not be the
same with the Mississippi?
Common sense and experience answer,
"Yes."
Is it not the part of wisdom for Congress
to try some other means of improving the
river and saving its people?
The common-sense plan Of affording the
water more outlets, or mouths, to the Gull
is presented to Congress. Let this plan be
tried; it will not cost much, even if it
should fail, as all other plans heretofore
| tried have. But it will not fail it cannot
| fail, for it is natures own plan.

WE CAN now understand why the Ass.
Press dismissed Mr. Phillips for al
lowing Mr.. Blaine to revise the re-
port of his testimony before it was sent.
The Ass. Press was afraid that cor
rect report of Mr.. Blaine's testimony
might leak out. We did not revise our
testimony for fear of getting the new agent
into trouble. We would not be party to
such an outrage as that of causing the Ass.
Press to make truthful report of testi-
mony. We hold no grudge against the
Ass. Press. Nothing could be farther
from us than desire to ruin its old and
established reputation for mislnformation
and inaccuracy.

UNCLE HUGH HASTINGS calls attention
to the fact that Mr.. Arthur's Administra-
tion thus far has encountered no opposition,
but is winning the friendship of every
body. This is gratifying. In fact, it is
calculated to arouse enthusiasm. There is
Pennsylvania, for instance, where the Ad-
ministration is SO popular that its friends
cannot find room to support one ticket and
therefore are compelled to run two. 1t is
very.seldom that an Administration has to
have two tickets 10 one State in order to
accommodate ali its friends. We congratu-
late our Uncle Hugh upon the harmony of
the situation. If things keep on at this
rate it viii require about four tickets to
supply standing-room for the friends of the
Administration by the year 1884.

The impression is gaining ground that
the whisky men have not told the truth
about the disposition that was made of their
100000. The statement that 1t was used
to enable the weaker brethren of the Ring
to carry their stocks so as to keep the COM
bination intact does not bear analysis.
Let's see: The oyerproduction amounts to
about e4,000,0O0 gallons. The sum required
tocauy this in bond cannot be much less than
$30,000,0O0. six hundred thousand is two per
cent. on thisamount. Two per cent is small
margin to meet the liabilities likely to re-
suit from such extrayagant overproduction.
There is certainly no other business in the
country that could be guaranteed against
