Not Traitor. ere in to s isste of The Star found a Ui 1 States s munteation from former nator J. B. Henderson, de- fending Senator Hoar of Massachusetts against imaginary charge of practical treason which in Mr. Henderson's opinion this paper brought against the Massachu- setts statesman in a recent “ditorial utter- ance. The Star said incidentally that Sen- ator Hoar, by the public utterance of his belief that the acquisition of the Philippine Islands as a subject state would mean the destruction of the American republic, gives the Spaniards very great comfort and stiffens thetr backbone in the negotiations for peace. This is the statement in unmis- takable words of an incontrovertible fact. Mr. Henderson evolves from the statement @ technical charge of treason, and having constructed this straw man proceeds to demolish him. The Star's purpose was to show that Senator Hoar’s latest utterances placed him squarely in the same category with Prof. Norton, whom he recently re- an buked for giving voice to pessimistic views concerning the foreign poliey of the gov- ernment. The Star grieved over the sena- tor as a convert to pessimism, and did not denounce him as a traitor. Mr. Henderson's next claim is that by thus criticising Senator Hoar The Star seeks to restrict the freedom of speech. The Star has not sought to close Senator Hoar’s mouth. It has simply expressed its disapproval ef his views. It does not be- lieve with him that eternal smash is just ahead of the republic. It is one thing to Sag a man to prevent him from talking and another to deprecate or condemn his words. Mr. Henderson urges that The Star did not take into account Mr. Hoar's position as a United States senator. That was pre- ely what The Star did. it expressly noted the vast difference between the ut- tering of pessimistic views by the art pro- of Harvard and by tne senator from aachusetts. The one merely joins the chorus of ineffective complaint. The other, by his individual ability, his official position and his very function as a part of the treaty-making power—to which Mr. Henderson points—attracts the attention of the world to his jeremiad and handicaps the efforts of the administration at Paris. Up to this time the making of the treaty with Spain is purely an executive act, with which neither Mr. Hoar nor any other member of the Senate has any present offi- cial concern. When he takes the stump, therefore, and voices a negative, pessi- mistic sentiment about the form in which the treaty is offered to the enemy, he is actually speaking as an individual. But he still remains, in the mind of listening Spain, a senator who will later have a chance to carry out his views by voting against the ratification of the treaty with which she i now confronted. Inasmuch as Mr. Henderson expressly declines to approve or disapprove of the entiments uttered by Mr. Hoar, this is all there is to the controversy raised by his communication. He accuses The Star of making charges which it did not prefer, and with ignoring an official responsibility op the part of Mr. Hoar which it was care- ful to emphasize. soe A Victim of Gabble. The remains of General Don Carlos Buell were buried at St. Louis yesterday. die was @ native of Ohio, a graduate of West Point, and at the beginning of the civil war held the rank of colonel. He was consid- ered one of the most capable officers in the army, and was sent into the field as a gen- eral of volunte His career thereopencd most auspicious- He showed fine organizing powers, and impressed himself on his associates and on the enemy as a good fighter. He saved the day at Pittsburg Landing, arriving with his forces in time to help General Grant cut of a bad tangle, and also to help drive the confederates back on Corinth. After that he was sent against General Bragg, and his embarrassments then began. Bragg managed to elude him and to push on into Kentucky, threatening both Louis- ville and Cincinnati. But Buell took a short cut, and reaching Louisville first strengthened himself there and then ad- vanced to meet Bragg. The meeting oc- curred at Perryville, where a bloody battle was fought, Bragg retiring slowly from the field. Buell, it was charged, erly follow up the sdvantage gained in the ba and he relieved of his com- mand. An investigation was ordered begun. ‘The charges were vague, of them false. It was attempte thing, to account for Buell ergy in following Bragg by story that the two men were brothers law, whereas they were not connected d gil, either by blood or marriage. The in- rs. did not prop- was and wa and some , for one alieged lack of circulating a n- vestigation Gragged, and no report was ever made. But Buell’s enemies had a complished their purpose. They had put an end to his career as a soldier, and after a long, patient waiting for vindication he resigned his commission and retired to pri- vate life, He lived to see sentiment change in his favor, but only when it was too late for him to benefit by it. He performed a nota- ble service at Pittsburg Landing. and he whipped his man at Perryville. How great a figure he might have cut had not de- traction set in is, of course, a matter mer ly for speculation He was a victim largely of gabbie—false, a good deal of it, and irresponsible; and it is a good time to recall the fact, not only in connection with his death, but also be- cause other soldiers are just now being pursued with the same weapon. The Ameri peace commis am to was prese Menday, requiring an answe aday followirg. Tuesday evening the dent of the Spanish commission sent a » to the Americans, asking them, among other things, whether they really meant that the ultimatum must be answered by Monday. A note went back promptly assu ing the Spaniards that nothing else was intended. How very characteristic of the Spanish attitude is this episode! Instead of asking this momentous, though ridiculous, question Monday evening, immediately after the receipt of the memorandum, the Spaniards waited until ‘Tuesday evening.

The penitentiary on Blackwell's Island, near New York city, receives an excep- tienally depraved class of convicts, and the problem of keeping them in discipline is often difficult. Up to a recent date the practice has been to put an insubordinate in a dark cell called the “cooler,” which has invariably taken all the ugliness out of the prisoner and reduced him to a state of docility. A short time ago, however, it was decided by the prison authorities to try an experiment, substituting a reward for good behavior in place of extra punishment for misbehavior as a means of preserving the discipline of the institution. Accord- ingiy a thousand volumes were added to the prison library, carefully chosen for their ‘character and utility for such pur- pose, embracing histories, biographies and standard fiction. The prisoners who main- tain a fair record of good conduct are per- mitted to read in the library each evening from 5:30 until 9 o'clock. The refusal of the privilege is regarded as a punishment for any infraction of the rules or misconduct. The effect thus far of the innovation has been altogether satisfactory. Aside from the mental benefit received by the prison- ers from this association with good books, the prison records show that the number of cases of insubordination has been re- duced from forty-eight a month to fifteen and less. There is much encouragement in this showing for those advocates of prison reform who believe that the jailing of a man or a woman should be accompanied by efforts to bring the prisoner to a higher plane of thought than that suggested by the bare walls, the uniform clothes and the enforced restraint of the prison. Without robbing the jail of its terrors for the crimi- nal or reducing the shame and punishment of inearceration under sentence, a well- stocked library, opened as a reward for good conduct, may perhaps supply some- thing of the desired element of reform for which criminologists have been earnestly seeking. The dual purpose of the punish- ment and prevention of crime may thereby be in part accomplished. Of course, the books will not appeal to every prisoner, perhaps in some institutions they will ap- peal to few. But if even those few can be raised to contemplate better things than the thoughts inspired by prison routine the Nttle seed thus sown may bear good fruit. Every criminal turned from evil ways and encouraged to seek the path of honesty and right living in the future is a great gain to civilization. —+0e The King of Abyssinia gave promise of being a personage of importance until he contracted the habit of sitting for his pho- tograph and allowed it to interfere with his busines —___ +2 — Most of the velunteers refuse to be fright- ened by the reports of their suffering to such an extent as to refuse to enlist again if their services are needed. — the Spanish commissioners have ely retarded business In the hope of. ing action on the part of Don Carlos. ————__ += —____ The discovery of gold in Ohio will be stig- matized as a plutocratic plot to clinch the disaffection in the 16 to 1 ranks. +32 G STARS.
