SOMETHING NOT WANTED.

We do not believe that Dr. Aveling
or Herr Liebnecht or any other propa-
gandist of foreign ideas, now lectur-
ing in this country, will succeed to any
extent in transplanting to American
soil the political exotics of Old World
lighthouses. These gentlemen may be
as moderate as they please In the advo.
cacy of their peculiar theories and
draw the line with all the ingenuity at
their command between Socialist and
Anarchist, but the very fact that
there is no market here for their i'm
portations will render their mission to
the United States comparatively fruit.
less and unavailing.
1t is highly proper and desirable that
the lessons of Republicanism taught
by the experience of nearly century
under the American Constitution,
should find their way abroad and sink
deep into the minds of those who are
weary of costly monarchies and auto.
cratic despotisms, but we cannot see
that the triumphant Democracy" of
the United States can proftably Dor.
row anything from the struggling,
crude and untested Democracy Of
Europe.
Republican government here Is no
longer an experiment. but au accom-
plished fact. There Is nothing in the
Socialism of Germany or France, how.
ever good thing it may be in the est-
nation OF its advocates, which we
stand in the slightest need of to i'm.
prove the character of our institutions.
All the merit there Is In Socialism was
copied from the principles of civil and
religious liberty, constitullonally es-
tabllshed In America a hundred years
ago. As to its other and not so
neritorious features, we want nothing
10 do with them.
If the Republic, as it now exists, is
not the perfection of human Govern
ment, 1t will have to seek perfection in
its own resources, which are ample.
There is nothing for It 10 copy from
doctrines OF which the symbol is red
flag and the status that Of revolution.
Let the Old World fight It's way to
freedom on the same line that the
American colonies adopted. 1t will be
time enough then to take counsel Of
their Socialistic doctrines. The lead.
ers of the movement, blind and crop.
ing as many Of them are, and neces-
sarily inexperienced as they all must
be. are certainly in no condition now to
give the statesmen and political econo,
mists OF the United States points on
governmental reform.

TO OUR BUSINESS FRIENDS.

The circulation of Tue CRtTIc has
kept steadily increasing all through the
heated term, which is an experience
seldom accorded TO the newspapers Of
Washington during the dun season.
When Congress is not in session and
large numbers of citizens are out of
town, 1t is but natural that the circula-
iion Of the local papers should fall or
In fact, II Is the "a most iuvatiable case
Not 50 with THE CRrIc. On the con.
trsry, our circulation has AUGMENTED
AT quite as rapid rat, since the LIST of
Ju,e as during the six busy months
pr ceding, when the Capital was full
of people. The rtnS1u Is obvious.
TmE CRITIC has come u be rec)g.
nized as prc.cmiuenly q paper Of the
people, representative Of their HI ne
Interests -- aud chhracttrizcl by u
quality and tone which cbmmenl it at
once to the patronage Of the best rcii.
ing classes. 1t has fully vlnlicatel the
claims to excellence and, In fact, su.
peJority In many Of It's features, with
which the new Management, started ont,
aud the consequence IS that it has
climbed rapidly up in public e5tiul-
lion, and has to day, with one cXcep-
tiou, morcrclders than any other paper
in the District.
The progress thus made is to be
maintained by the addition of improve
ments and attractions this fall aui
winter that will place it in competition
with the best of its contemporaries and
in the first rank of Washington
journalism. We make these state.
ments with a grateful sense of pleasure
towards all who have co.operated with
us in the building up of our practically
new enterprise, and for the further
reason that we desire to impress upon
the business community an important
fact to them, that as a medium of COM
munication between themselves and the
general public there are no columns
more valuable than those of The
CRITIC. The paper reaches all sections
of the District and beyond, is largely
patronized by people in the various dc.
partments of the Government, aud Is
daily increasing its neighborhood as
well as more remote circulation at n
most encouraging pace, thus ailording
advantages which the intelligent aud
judicious advertiser cannot fail to ap.
preciate, and, with due regard to his
interests, cannot afford to ignore.
We therefore feel justified in asking
OF the business men of the National
Capital liberal share in the patronage
they have to give, confident that they
will speedily realize the benefits of so
doing and assuring them Of fair rates
and the most consideratc treatment la
all their transactions with the o.lice.
The fall trade will soon open and 1t Is
hoped and believed, with better pros.
poets than for some years past and
this is the time for merchants to avail
themselves Of the facilities for extend.
ing their list of customers offered by a
first.class, enterprising, popular aud
honorably conducted newspaper.
