CAUSELESS CRITICISM.

One of the Presidents newspaper critics Is troubled because he has an noureod no positive policy in regard to the movements now taking place in China The critic believed that the United States should take an active part with other nations, or, at least, that the president should announce a definite policy for this government, and is by no means satisfied because the president refused to sustain or to disapprove the course of Italy in that quarter when Information was sought as to the attitude Of this government Furthermore, the critic is not pleased because President Mckinley does not indicate a purpose to take part in tha partition of China with ether nations. This criticism seems captiOus-criti- cism for the sake of criticism. The United States has nothing to gain by active participation in the disposition of Cuba, particularly since all the leading powers have assured our gov eTnment that our commercial inter ests shall net suffer by anything that either of them may do. If the United States is on such friendly terms with all the governments which are inter esting themselves in securing ports and concessions that our trade will not be interfered with, why should we desire to participate in the contentious. Is it because We have power and should use it simply to show that we have it? There can be no reason just new to demonstrate our capacity to assert uthority.-Indianapo Journal.

NEW YoRKs HOTEL HORROR.

The burning of the Windsor hotel in
 New York is one of those disasters
 that seem inevitable to the rush and recklessness of modern life It was beautiful and connections hotel, but
 1t was a fire trap and long known to
 be such. Its accommodations were luxurious, and it was managed by enc of the fCl emOst hotel men in the coun-
 try; but every guest took his life in his hands whenever he entered its portals. That liStle CT no precaution was taken against fire is evident be- cause in broad daylight, and under cir cumstances that were favorable. if any could be, the fire was uncomfortable from the start. A structure covering an acre of ground was burned down in less than three hours. A carpenter s shop could not have been more infiam- mable. And who is to blame? Every, bcdy, probably. If we had proper laws for buildings and rigid inspection system and honest inspectors, such hotels as the Windsor would not be to stand for a day, and such catastrophes would be averted; but i1 is the disposition of the American pao- pie not to make trouble, and they shrink from unpleasant duties They prefer to take the chances, and thus the innocent pay the penalty for the and indifferences of the careless. If there is to be a moral drawn from this terrible disaster, il lies in this.-ChicagO Post.
