persomn.ity in Criticism.

A recent article in Tho Atlantic
Monthly discusses the question how far
the personal element should enter INTO
criticism of literature or any other art.
This is rather an interesting problem.
and Theoretically most people will agree
that criticism ought to be impers5nal.
Practically, however, they read the other
kind a.
There is no question that the cutting,
siashing style of comment on dramatic
and Literary matters. adopted by some
writer's. lis both inartistie and harmf.l-
bad for the critic. the public. and tbs
artist 1t often brushes out deserving
talent. it gives the ignorant reader wrong.
standards. and it destroys the critics
ability to take Z Just and appropriated
view of anything Moreover, it is dan
gerously likely to develop in the vialder
OF this weapon an overweening idea of
his. own power and Importance, and n
ceit is quality of which it may be said
on general principles that the less one
has of it the better.
The critic who is really valuable to his
generation is neither unduiy a2prsli1-
tive nor too severe. He strives TO d.s-
cover whatever good may lie in even
bad production. and he seldom gives alb
solute!y unqualified praise. His critic sn
. may not be iufaIlible, but it is honest
and thoughtful. After reading it the ar
tist sees faults in his work of which he
may hitherto have been unaware. and the
public learns what to admire and what TO
condemn This critic never sacrifices
truth to the desire TO say smart thing.
he can say smart things which are also
just If there is something ridiculous in
the book or play which he is critieising.
he uses his powers OF ridicule on that.
not on the whole work unfortunately.
The personal element is generally a5se nj.
Individual prejudice is eliminated. The
critic may personally consider a red
haired woman to be invariably ugly, but
if the author of the novel which he is
reviewing chooses to have a Titisn-
haired heroine IL reviewer must accept
the view which the author and the public
are likely to take. recognizing the fact
that his personal dislike to auburn locks
is not shared by the whole world. If he
finds book on his table which defends
President Kruger and the Beers, it is not
his business to condemn il merely be-
cause ne himself happens to be CT an op-
posite opinion He must discuss ne ar
guments impersonaIly and give full ere. 1t
for whatever strength they may possess.
Unfortunately. there are few critics SO
impartial as this Hence we have no
settled standards OF anything in this
country. But the ideal of impersonaI
criticism is growing, and while the pub
lie recognizes the fact that Tad art
should be. unhe5itatingly cond emncd it is
beginning TO feel that all varieties OF
good art should be approved without
prejudice.

hnyone who has ever had much to do
with the Institution called company
store knows something about the griev-
ances OF the striking miners in PennsyI-
vania. The company store and the credit
system are Two most vicious enemies of
the laboriDg man. So long as mechanic
or laborer can pay cash for all that he
buys, and buy ii where he sees fit there
is a chance for him to save something.
before it is paid to him he is likely TO
be continually il debt; and when in ad-
dition to this, he is required to spend 1t
at the store OF his employer. he might as
well be a serf for all the freedom there
is in his life. He can only secure his

and children, for It is a dangerous busi-
ness for man with family dependent
upon him TO give up his job when he has
no money in the bank and does not know
where he will be able 10 get work or how
long it viii take him to find it.
4 state Of things in which the laborer
is thus held in bondage is bad for the
whole community as well as for the lab
orer. In the first place it tends to destroy
the self-respect Of a large class of people,
and it is not good for any Commonwealth
TO have to deal with an element which
cannot be influenced by appealing to this
trait In the second place. the man who
is held TO HIS job through fear Of starya-
tion is likely to be sullen and discon-
tented, and to hate those who have what
he thinks is an easier time in life than
his. Last, but not least. the conscious
ness Of irresponsible power is very bad for
the employer 1t is not good for any man
to be able to ride rough-shod over the
rights and feelings of others. Few can
stand such an experience without being
by it. II is good for all OF
us to consider the rights of those with
whom we have to do, and our own duties
toward them, as well as their duties to-
ward us. The man who is continually
thinking that his friends, relatives. ana
do not show him as much
respect as they should, or are not doing
their full duty by him, is one OF the most
miserable beings on earth. 1t is good

The End In south Africa.

The flight of Paul Kruger to Lourenco
Marques accompanied by Secretary Reitz,
and the archives of the South African Re
public has furnished Lord Roberts with a
text for a proclamation to the people OF
the Orange River and Vaal River Colonies,
in which he adnkonishes them that the
resignation and escape of their principal
leader is evidence that he regards the war
as hopeless, and has abandoned it and the
country for good and all.
The British general-in- also takes

THE NEW GERMAN LOAN.
hanks of the Empire Unable to Raise
the Sum.

BERLIN. Sept. 1.-THE newspapers here
emphasize in large type the Importance
of the purchase by Kuhn, Loeb & Co and
the National City Bank of New York of
100000 marks worth of the imperial
per cent treasury bonds due in 1904 and
1905.
The 'Lokai Anzieger" says that the
consequence will be that an imeprial loan
may not be expected before 1901.
The "Vossische Zeitung' notes the diff
ference between issuing treasury bonds
and contracting an imperial loan. The
latter requires the authorization of the
Reichstag. The paper says that the cheap
ness of money in America and the desire
to bring American gold to Germany fur
nished the motive for the Reichbanks
transaction.
The ''Tageblatt" insists on the import
ance of the innovation and adds that how
ever gratifying and important it may be
for the future that the American money
market is to participate in German leans,
it is a matter of painful concern that
German banks are unable to take up such
a relatively small sum as so coo. 900 marks
at the tempting interest of per cent
The attitude of the German banks, this
journal says. proves more clearly than
all other symptoms the overburdening of

BRADSTREET ON THE WEEK.
The Cotton Outlook the Feature OF
the Business situation.


NEW YORK. Sept. i4.-Bradstreet' to-
morrow will say:
Expanding demand at advancing prices
in many lines of trade finds its chief ex-
enplar in the market for raw cotton
which has witnessed the greatest excite
ment. heaviest trade. and largest gain
IN price Tor at least a decade.
English spinners, who are reported
very generally short of supplies, are con-
sidering drastic methods of meeting the
requirements. In American cotton goods,
the situation, from being a short time ago
a buyers market. is now reversed. and
sellers are in position to dictate terms.
SO suddenly has the outlook as viewed
by the trade generally changed. however
that manufacturers are unable or unwiil-
ing. to de ne their exact position, or, II
they accept new business. do dis
tinct basis of cost of new supplies.
The Fall River Printcloth Company has
drawn out from the market and no more
goods can be secured at the last recorded
quotations. Maximum cotton crop esti-
majors of past years are apparently panic
stricken. and predict famine stocks for
The end of the year. even with medium
consumption. Trade estimates, based on
Government reports. point to crop of
$500. 600 to 10 000. 600 bales, the latter only
possible, however. If the picking season
is long and frost is delayed. Bull esti-
mates of consumption are that II, coo, 600
bales of American cotton were needed,
but these must necessarily be reduced
not only because of the impossibility of
such a yield being gathered. but also be-
cause higher prices of cotton and cotton
goods are expected to reduce consump-
ton.
Death. suffering. and loss of property
have been the lot of the people of Calves
ton and its vicinity this week. Fortunate
ly. however, the carly reports of damage
to the large growing cotton crop OF the
State appear to have been exaggerated
and dispatches from numerous central.
western. and northern Texas points place
the loss at not exceeding 1000 bales.
Southern trade advices and bank clear
ings are notable because in a majority
of instances they reflect the feeling that
with cotton l cent a pound higher for the
week. nearly 4 cents more than a year
ago. and at the highest prices reached for
ION years. trade in that section is bound
to be good. notwithstanding that the crop
promises little more than an average. I'M
proved trade is reported at all points in
the Mississippi Valley and thence east
of course, trade is still, practically paral-
yzed
I'm the West and Northwest fall trade
is proceeding satisfactorily.
Business failures for the week number
49, as against 154 last week and 149 in
