Fault Finding.

Most Of US have at some time or other
come into more or less violent contact
with people who are born critics-or think
they are. 1t is not always easy for the
average mind to determine which suppo-
fition is nearest the truth.
The tendency to unsparing criticism
generally appears in full force in society
which Is not fully established in its stand
ards, and among people who are not as
broad minded as they might be. Everyone
knows that the bltterest and most malig-
nant gosslps are TO be found in a small
country town and, on the same principle,
the narrow minded man is apt to be the
inveterate fault-inder. II lie also to be
observed that people who have not always
had high ideals are most exacting in their
demands that others should conform TO
their standard. The half-raade man is
always dissatisfied with his neighbors as
well as himself. He is so afraid of show
ing his ignorance by failing TO perceive
defects that he wants everybody TO know
It when he sees one.
This trait has caused more trouble in
families than almost any other fault, and
It is peculiarly irritating there. Il is In
evltable, and, indeed, desirable, that there
should be sharp criticism of political,
social, and literary matters, because only
so can perfection be attained. Public life
is rather like school. in which the pupils
can learn pothing unless their faults be
corrected and perfection be constantly re-
duired. But In the home, as a rule, very
little criticism Is better than a great deal

The Philippine War.

The Administration has felt it necessary
to permit publication of the alarming Of
fetal report from Manila that Captain
Shields and his company of fifty-one men
belonging to the Twenty ninth Volun-
teers have been captured or killed by a
force OF Tagals in the island Of Marin
duque. which lies about three hundred
miles south OF Luzon. A relief expedition
ias been sent to the scene. and it is said
that Chaffees command, on returning
from China, will be ordered to garrison
the island.
The serious feature of the news is that
It shows the war to have spread generally
in the archipelago. Grave fears are enter
lained that the next reports may tell US
of an outbreak in our Mohammedan posses
sion OF Sulu, where our subject, the Sultan,
has been acting queerly of late, and Is
suspected of having imported a lot of
modern arms from Singapore
Conditions in the island of Luzon are
growing steadily worse, and General Mac
Arthur notifies the War Department that
our commanders in the northern provinces
are sending urgent calls for re-enforee-
ments An opinion is forming that it may
be impracticable for the United States to
hold the Philippines in subsection without
a large addition TO the army. But nothing
in that direction can be done without Con-
gressional action. An extraordinary ses-
sion of the present Congress might perhaps
authorize Mr. Mckinley TO call for more
troops. but there is much room for doubt
on that score. TIE country is getting
tired of the rebellion that Otis crushed so
effectually and finally.

OF Pennsylvania, IL will behoove Mr..
Hanna to pack his valise as quickly as
possible and trek for Ohio. where there
is new labor trouble OF character
menacing to Republican trust hopes.
Unless the miners wage scale shall be
signed by today, there will be strike in
five mines at Oak Hill, near Jackson. The
miners demand eighty cents per ton for
mining coal, while the operators are so
far only willing to pay sixty cents. If

Combination DettinG.-One of the
most significant features Of the election
betting in New York yesterday was dis
played in a wager made by Bell & Co., the
brokers, OF sl5,eO0 70 So 600 that Bryan will
not carry the States of Kentucky, Indiana,
and Illinois. Who, took the Bryan end of
the bet is not known, though it is init
mated that the money came from the Dem
ocratic National Committees headquarters
at the Hoffman House. AS things go gen.
orally, Bell & Co. have all The best Of it in
this bet though that anybody could be in
duced to risk 1000 on such combination
shows plainly that there is great conf
dence in the success Of Bryan. The Repub-
licans, be 1t remembered, are claiming all
three of the States In the combination,
whereas the Democrats are claiming with
confidence only one OF them-Kentueky. 1t
is true that the Bryan managers account
Indiana as certainly doubtful and Illinois
as probably So but for the Democrat to
win his bet Bryan must carry the three
States named. The loss of any one of them
by Bryan will mean the loss OF s., 900 to
the man who took the Bell G. Co. bet. II
is believed that most of the election bet
ting from this time forward will be on
combinations. II is evident that both sides
are daily becoming more timid about bet
ting on the general result, and though Re-
publican bettors are now claiming TO offer
to II is said that their money is hard
to find at these odds.

The Next House.-They are not say
ing much about 1t, but 1t is fact never.
theless that the Democratic managers are
more confident today than ever that they
Will control the next House Their con-
fidence is based upon an intimate ac-
quaintance with the conditions in all of
the Congressional districts. 1t is virtually
assured that they will gain two members
in Kentucky one In Missouri, three In
North Carolina one in Alabama, one in
Texas, one In Iowa, possibly two in ILL.,
nois, and the same number in Indiana.
They may lose two In Massachusetts,, one
in Pennsylvania and possibly one each IL
Nebraska and Kansas. In this estimate
Populists are dealt with as Democrats. II
the gains here claimed realized 1t is
certain that the Democrats will have a
safe working majority in the House OF the
Fifty-seventh Congress. Not much is
being said about It, but even the Repub-
licans admit that they probably will not
have a solid delegation from Iowa in the
next Congress. In the Second, or Daven-
port, district they have about abandoned
h5pe OF pulling their man through. The
Hon. Joe Lane declined denomination
foreseeing the storm, and his successor is
described as a very weak brother. The
Democrats there have nominated their
strongest man In the person of Mr.. Voll-
mer, whose Germanic name indicates the
chief source of his strength in these
parlous times of Imperialism. However
this district normally is Democratic, any
how, and perhaps never would have fallen
into the hands OF the Republicans If Mr.
Grover Cleveland had never been born.
In KentuclSy.-The conviction of Jim
Howard for.the murder of Governor Goe-
bel and the imposition upon him of the
death penalty occurred almost simultan-
eously with the report to the Legislature
at Frankfort of a bill designed to materi-
ally modify the so-called Goebel election
laws, The effect of this will be to very
considerably clear the political situation
In that State OF doubt. Democrats who
made Republican success possible in the
Bluegrass Commonwealth because of their
objection to what they called GoebeIis m
will not now have this excuse to bolt their
party. 1t is believed, however, to be GER
tain that whatever else may occur there
in November Bryan and Stevenson will
carry the State. The election laws, to
which objection has been made, would
not be felt at the polls in November even
II they were not repealed or modified, but
the assurance that they will be either en-
tireIy removed from the statutes or so
toned down as TO give no cau.e of irri-
tatIon to the most sensitive conscience
will have a good effect. 1t is thought that
the legislation will be rushed through
with all speed possible and that an emer-
eency clause will be adopted SO as to make
the revised laws operative at the forth
coming election
