rHE JOURNALISTS DUTY AS A CRITIC.

1t is the province of journalism TO crit
else freely and impartially public men and
public measures, and to present faithfully
chronicle of public events. Journalism
performs a great Office for the public, SO
long as public measures must undergo i'm
martial criticism Tobe valuable this criti-
cism must be judicially fair, and to be fair,
must be impartial. The Journalist who
understands his mission, or the Importance
of the great Office he fulfills, must himself
remain personally disentangled with public
measures, public events, and public office.
The journalist acts upon the public; he in
fluences the action of men in office; estab-
fishes standards of criticism by which to
try the administration of public justice, and
he cannot therefore with propriety become
a part of the machine he assumes to criti
else. HI can no more sit in Judgment
upon the administration of public affairs,
in which he is personally participant,
than a Judge can impartially try his own
case The journalist in public office who
at the same time attempts to perform the
office of public censor is as much out of
place as a Judge charged with an offense
would be to cause an arraignment of him
self in his own Court. By every fair in
depreciation of the duties of journalism,
the journalist who seeks public station,
abdicates his right to perform the office of
Journalist for community, and i'm
peaches his own impartiality in all matters
subject to public criticism, and he either
does not understand the full import OF his
mission as journalist, or, SO understand
ing it, intends to practice that species OF
prostituted journalism which, while hold
ing the whip of public criticism over his
fellow -officehelders intends to escape the
lash his shortcomings deserve.

WHATEVER we do in the way of improving the
sanitary condition of the city should begin at
once and be kept up all summer. We are about TO
undertake to do in few days or weeks, the
work that we should have begun years ago, and
never have relaxed This journal long
ago urged often, and with persistence that a
sanitary reform should be inaugurated here
but beyond securing the erection of vcntilating
pipes to a portion OF the filth pits. nothing was
accomplished by tho authorities. Now that
danger Is near, there is some activity manifest
But The people must take hold and aid the Off
cials. They neither can nor viii do what should
be done unaidcd. The people should insist that
the excayators so much talked Of be procured
at once and set to work, and that the cleansing
crusade begin forthwith. Thus far nothing has
been done beyond the issuance of proclama-
tons. No steps have been taken to reinforce
the health department, or to provide for the in
spection and enforcement OF the sanitary regu-
lations One health officer cannot possibly az
complish the task of inspection and enforce the
law upon the unwilling and negligent: there
should be three or four competent men engaged
NJ once to inspect the city, search out the danger
spots and apply the remedy.

ENGLAND APPROVES.

The English press disapproved of the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine, and pointed out
that if elected he would probably make
America too prominent in the worlds
councils to suit the English idea. When
Grover Cleveland was nominated the En-
glish press approved it. Even the thun-
derer consented to nod acquiescence and
say good word for the " accident Very
evidently the Democracy has the electoral
vote of England. This is very sad for Mr.,
Blaine. Sadder still it is that the New
York Times, owned by an Englishman, in
addition to disappearing of Mr.. Blaine
comes out squarely tor Mr.. Cleveland. But
we incline to the belief that Mr.. Blaine
and the Republican party can stand it if
England and the Times can.

p From the point Of view Of an Arctic
geographic, they are of first-class import
ance. Lieutenant Greedy has not only
the British navy, the blue ribbon of Arctic
discovery for the highest latitude ever at
tanned in any part of the world, but he has
greatly extended the limits o. Mares ex-
plo ATOMS, bo,h in Greenland and Grinaeli
Land. The fact that two OF Greelys sledge
parties were stopped by open wate- in
the Polar Sea, and that both were at
times adlist in strong currents, which
threatened to carry them helplesSly away
northward, would seem to show that the
Polar basin is not solid sea of ancient,
immovable ice which Mares described, and
which he declared was never nayigable.
Lieutenant Greely's explorations extended
over three de-, ees of latitude and nearly
forty degrees of longitude. He has yirtl-
ally ascertained the tTu, outline of Gr,unell
Land, has crossed it from east to west, and
cl the northern coast of Greenland has
gone on one degree OF latitude and ten de
grees of longitude beyond the far iest point
reached by Captain Mares accomplished
sledgiDg officer, Lieutenant Beaumont.
These achievements alone reflect the high
est credit upon Lieutenant Greedy and his
great mess of scientific knowledge gath
cred by the party during their two years at
Lady Franklin Bay"

A CARD.

TN REGARD TO A NOTICE IN THIS MORN
i ing's RECORD CNioN in which Mr.. Pine of
the late firm of Waters & Pine staSed that he
was willing to pay his half of the films indebt-
ednees, if Mr.. Waters does not pay, but will not
be responsible for any other debts. Mr.. Waters
states tina, he neither needs wishes anybody
to be responsible for his doiuss and that he is
men enough 10 pay all his debts, but will do so
when he gets ready. If Mr.. Waters "laboring
under misforiuDes," has to wait six or seven
months Tor what is due him, his creditors can
certainly more easily, and ought to more salts
fac .oriiy wait for mere bagatelle that is due
them. Mr. Waters feels sorry TO be obliged to
blow his own norm, by not only saying that he is
as conscientious man ever lived, but by au-
thepticaling it if necessary. He tenders his
thanks to Mr.. Pine Tor his magnamipity in his
benaf and for his forecaution to their creditors.

THE New York Herald runs up the names of
the Democratic nominees Mt the head of its edi-
torial column The Herald has never been a
party paper, and Whatever ieanings it has had
have been toward the Democratic side. The
truth is that the Herald, rejecting the old Ben
nett spirit, is nearly always opposed to the Tfi-
bune, and that very largely accounts fcrthe milk
in the Herulfs cocoanut.

A CORRESPONDENT of an Eastern paper
utters q trrlism when he says: " A party
out of power is always more dangerous
than the same organization i'll place, for it
breaches while struggling for Office what it
does not practice when clad with the re-
sponsibility of Government" But he adds
that change of administration will be a
national calamity, for twill mean sweep
ing clearance from all offices, from the
highest to the lowest and then an army of
invasion will choke the streets of Wash
ington, and " the mob will be recruited
from the most worthless element of our
social and political life All the men too
lazy to work or too incompetent to find
employment will be to the front, clad in a
linen buster and carpet-slck : the last
named holding, not clean shirt and an
extra pair of socks, but recommendations
in the shape of letters and petitions. These
men have no money to waste on a change
at either end of their unwashed bodies
but they have enough for railroad fare,
boarding house bills and cheap whisky.
They are all professional office-seekers in
command of wards, townships and coun-
ties, and the party they represent furnishes
them money on which to live in poor way
while prosecuting their claims to office"

THE Treasury Department has informa-
ton of shipments of rags from cholera-in-
fected regions to Canadian ports, thence to
be sold into the United States. There should
be strength enough in the arm of the Gov
eminent to stop these shiploads of cholera
breeding goods. Spain put her men-of-war
off her ports, and told all captains to stand
Off as she preferred no commerce to COM
merce with the plague as an attachment.
We like the Spanish plan. Why, for in
stance, to satisfy very small trade with
Mexico, must we take all the chances OF
the introduction of yellow fever? Is the
trade worth it? Have merchants a right
to demand that the people shall assume
such risks as they do that a few men may
do a small business?

WHEN Summer refused to sustain Cen
eral Grant for a second Presidential term
the editor of Hdypers Weekly had among
other things this to say, which exactly fits
his own position to-day: The whole cleo
ton with him (Sumncr) turns upon one
man. All the tendencies, logic, necessities,
facts, principles, of the Republican party
avail nothing with him, because he does
not like the candidate. The whole moral
drift of the Democratic party does not dis
may him, because the candidate is agree
able TO him"

The rescue of Lieutenant Greedy and six
of his Arctic party will rejoice the whole
country, the sympathies of which have
been tried sorely over the terrible fate it
was feared had befallen the deserted band
of heroic adventures in the interest of
science. But the news of the rescue is sad
dened by the fact that out of the party of
twenty-five, eighteen succumbed to the
rigors of Arctic climate before relief ar
rived. Had the rescuing party been sixty
eight hours later, We are assured, even the
seven who were saved would have per-
ished. Had there been a delay of day or
two more in fitting out our relief expedi-
ton, il is probable that only the mortal re-
mains of the men would have been found.
