1t is deemed by many people suf-
ficient reply to a criticism to retort
that the person criticised will live
longer in the public memory than the
critic. 1t is nothing. Such a retort
is the reasoning of fool and has
nothing to do with the case. A hole
in a pair of trousers is a more. con-
spicuous object than patch, and will
also last longer, but it does not argue
the superior character of the hole
over the patch. A criticism that can
only be met by sneer at the critic is
a just one.

Ben Butler thinks the President
would do well TO have somebody about
him familiar with the laws Of the
country. He says that the pains he
has taken to examine all private pen
sion bills to see if there wasn't some
thing suspicious about them is wasted
labor. The law is that whenever the
commissioner Of pensions finds any
thing crooked in the record of a SOL
der who has been granted a pension
by special act he suspends the pension
and reports the matter to congress,
where it is rectiied if it appears that
a mistake has been made.

Physicians and scientists are study
ing the personnel of the socialists in
Europe, leaders and rank and file, and
some of them have lately expressed
the opinion that the majority of them
excluding of course the simply vicious,
who are attracted by the promise of
rapine and ROBBERY, are insane. They
find that Louise Michel went insane
in her youth over a love affair with a
nobleman who discarded her when she
no longer amused him, and her lunacy
took the form of war against class dis
tinctions that had so much to do with
her misfOrtunes. 1t is alleged that
not only were several of the principal
leaders in the cOmmunes in Paris in
1870 found to be insane, but that at
least two thousand of the rank and
file were afterwards treated for insan-
ity. They point out the fact that
nearly all the socialistic and anar-
chical outbreaks occur in hot weather,
when the early heat of summer has
affected the blood and disturbed the
brain. The great majority of them oc-
cur in June. One of the investiga-
tors, DR.. Lombroso, Frenchman, de-
clares that if these social agitators
were isolated when they begin to show
signs of mental alteration, such as a
desire to overthrow all government
and destroy life and property, and
properly treated for their disorder,
the very large majority would recover
their mind balance and become useful
and peaceable members of the CON-
munity. There is doubtless some
truth i'll this theory, Take any of the
portraits of the anarchist leaders and
examine them in groups and one can
not but be struck with the traces of a
disordered mind to be seen the cOunte-
nances of majority of them.

The st. Louis grand jury has in
dicted six of the aldermen or "del-
egates'' of that city for bribery, for a
starter. Among other things the st.
Louis aldermen were accustomed to
do to raise the wind, was to introduce
resolutions fixing high licenses for
theatres, and then go around to the
managers and offer to defeat them for
a money consideration. They were
petty larcenists, and will be held in
great contempt by the lordly robbers
of New York and Chicago.

Mr.. Beecher gives the English peo-
pie deplorable account of American
politics. He represents that there is
no limit to the corruption of politi-
clans over here. Men are bought and
sold like sheep at the polls and the
purchasing does not stop short of the
United States senate. The JOURNAL
thought the senate would hear some
thing drop when Henry Ward learned
OF the rejection of his son Herbert for
a pretty fat office over in Washington
Territory. 1t is not pretty for the
elderly clergyman to foul his own
nest, however, for little thing like
that. The American people with all
their faults have been pretty generous

or indirectly bestow their benefits
upon thousands, the noble charities
which relieve, untold suffering and
want, and the magnificent endowment
of great schools and Libraries, cannot
be undertaken or sustained by men
who gain their bread by the toll of
daily labor or the care of petty COM
mercal life. But the fate of entailed
wealth in America is almost certain and
speedy dissipation. A family acquires
fortune in one generation and scatters
it in the next. The grandsons of the
present Knights of Labor will be the
monopolists Of the next century. The
Vanderbilts, Gould and Mackeys of a
hundred years hence will inYeigh
against their hard lot in the unequal
distribution of wealth. The water on
the lowest level of the seas surface
need not envy that which is thrown
up in pillows, for its turn will come
the next moment. laws cannot be
trained that would change the pos
session of wealth more rapidly and
thoroughly than is being constantly
done by the irresistible processes of
natural causes. AS general rule the
man who has wealth has it because
he has paid the price for it, and often
the nripp ia toO ,sraat. and fba man who
has not wealth, is with out it because
he has not paid the price; and not
seldom, too, he is the happier for not
having bargained. But even if wealth
were the great earthly good to be
chiefly desired, the man in shirt
sleeves now is not to be wholly COM
miserated, for he may live to ride in
his children's chaises with the sons
of his employer for footmen.- White

Hon. Ii. III. Giles, of Wisconsin, was
elected president of the National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tions, at its annual session just con-
cluded at st. Paul. This is a high
compliment to Mr.. Giles, but is well
deserved. For many years he has
been one of the leading workers and
writers in the field of practical philan-
thropy in this country, and conven-
ton having in view the ameliOration
of the condition of the criminal and
dependent classes whose programme
did not include paper By Mr.. Giles as
one of its best features was not very
notable gathering. The conference
at st. Paul, which brought together
the brightest men and women in
America, who are actively interested
in this great and growing work, did
itself honor in choosing Mr.. Giles as
its chief for the ensuing year; he will
bring character, dignity and ability to
tie responsible office. The State
Journal notes with pleasure that two
other prominent and successful men,
bers of the Wisconsin board of char
tiles and reform are represented in
the official list;-Rev. A. o. Wright,
who has served with great credit as
the secretary of the conference, is
chosen chairman of the standing COM
mittee on penal and reformatory in
