In his address on The Study Of Modern Lam

a tilt against the classics as some ultra-moderns
have done On the contrary. he fully admits their
value as aids to literary culture. But he quietly
puts aside the messy arguments of the old school,
and shows what breadth of view is to be gained
by the study Of the modern languages and their

indsputable cases OF genius A number arc simply
cases of talent, and talent is not genius writ small
but quite different thing. True genius is
not all Of one kind 1t may be many sided, or it
may be concentrated upon single purpose. This
latter is called monomania by the author, who finds
the Technology Of morbid pathology very happily
ADAPTED TO his researches into the nature and
conditions of genius. Viewed as degeneration a
good many surprising implications are unavoidable.
Instead Of the gray barbarian being lower than
the Christian child' we shall have, if we accept
the new theory, to hold the reverse Of this senti-
ment Instead of preferring fifty years of Europe
To a cycle of Cathay," we shall have to recon-
s,ruct our notions of human progress, and to
lament the wretclied fate which has condemned
Europe to a steadily growing degeneracy, too
plainly manifested in the production Of men OF
genius-that is TO say, lunatics.
But Professor Lombroso is not satisfied with
declaring the identity Of insanity and genius.
He has invented a new class of degenerators caled
nattods, who occupy a midway position between
the genius which is madness and the state Of the
masses which is healthy imbeclity. Your mat
told is only semi-insane. The Professor describes
them as a variety which permits the appearance
of genius and the substantial character Of the
average man; and this variety forms the link
between madmen Of genius, the sane and the
insane properly so-called." Again he says-not
unite consisten tly--that the mattoids constitute
particular species Of a genius distinguished by
Maudsley as odd, queer, strange, persons OF
ins.ne temperament, and previously by MoreL
I.grand du Saulle and Schulz regard them as
hereditary neurotics,' Rsggi us neuropatmcs,
and now many as 'parsnoiaco'-s terminoioey

to give them place.
Ask q pIutOcrStlc divine what Is the
mission Of the prison, and he will tell
you that it 10 q place where breakers OF
the law are put TO punish them for their
crimes, also to protect society from their
ravsges, and last but not least to reform
the criminal and make him q decent
member Of society,"
Philanthroplsts give the last PROPOSE
ton the foremost place, but the most
careless worldllng-will agree that
penal system that takes no thought Of
the moral reclamation Of the criminal ia
something monstrous in this day and
age Of the world.
We ask the candid-what earthly hope
can there be of reforming man who
knows he ls being used as base specu-
lation by Scoundrels infinitely viler than
himself. A convict under these condi-
tions can rightfully consider the order
of society that tolerates such an enor-
nifty as devil possessed that he would
be justified In being an enemy against
until death.
A few months ago the outraged free
miners who had been thrown out Of en-
ployment by the use Of convicts sum-
marily made the agents Of Senator Brice
stop working them.
Militia were sent TO enforce the "deVil
law" which decreed this outrage against
Christian civilization and the miners
drove the military back.
In this emergency the Governor of
Tennessee called special session Of the
legislature to consider the affair.
The Lawmakers were implored by the
good people and newspapers of the
country TO repeal the infamous law which
made this outrageous employment of
Convicts posslble-but plutocratic gold
was more potent with those shameless
Legislators than public sentiment and
they adjourned without doing anything
to put away an abomination that is worse
than anything that can be shown in
Russia.
The miners have been very patient be-
cause they believed that the Christian
sentiment Of the Nation was strong
enough to put down the dlsbolical state
Of affairs at Briceville 80 soon as the
light was turned on them.
But they were mlstaken-for pluto
cratic gold and devil law has got Chris
tlanlty under its heel In the United
States Of America.
A few weeks ago the indignant miners
Of Briceville again showed their wrath
and they liberated upwards of 400 con-
vict miners, and burned down the stock
AIDES.
Now Il seems that the Governor oi
Tennessee is going to Vindicate the out.
ragged devil law, and IS already in CORE
spondence with the Secretary of War
with the intent of securing United States
troops.
The report says that 2,5OO miners may
flght against the Tennessee militia and
United States troops.
When the military power ofthe United
States shall have killed off q few thous
and OF these miners and put down that
rebellion of mountaineers-what will II
have done.

IN FEAR on THE MINERS.
lennessee's Governor Alarmed Over the De-
fance Expressed by Coal Workers,

NAgHVILiIAEo NOV. 1U.-d&GGoES DG%WoSA
Asa rehellious miners and the state Of
Tennessee are almost at q stand still, Che
governor asserting that he will rebuild che
sookatss and the miners daring him to DO
e. Governor Buchanan realizes the respon-
Bibility and iF much alarmed at the aspect
affairs have taken. He has been in commu-
nicstion with Che secretary Of war for some
days past, and has asked aid Of the United
States IL the worst comes. The general
opinion in the south is that q serious fight
cannot be averted.
Governor Buchanan is said TO fear his
handful Of troops viii not be able to with
stand the 5000 miners Of east Tennessee,
Who would be REINFORCED by 10000 others
arorn Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Ala
barna and Virginia, and would probably
vine out the available militia at his COM
nand and then over ride the whole state in
reckless outlawry. The miners are known
Cd be- preparing for emergencies.
IL will be wisdom's part for the Ameri-
can people to give this Brlceville peril
some earnest, Christian thought, to-
Rether with some equally earnest, Chris
tIan acting.
In the first place let US look at the
causes lying back Of the present un-
toward status in those desolate Tennessee
mountains.
TheEe are certain coal mines owned by
Senator Cal. Brice, Of Ohio.
These mines had long been worked by
free miners, who settled down in cabins
IN the near vicinity Of the pit mouths.
They established homes there for
themselves and families.
The toll which they had TO perform
was amply horrible.
They worked far down In those dismal
coal mines-out Of the reach OF fresh air
and the cheerful sunlight.
These mines were infinitely worse than
The average coal mines elsewhere.
The miners in many instances worked
ID water up to their knees, and the ven
citation Of the mines was particularly
bad, and foul gases vitlated the air.
But still the miners gladly toiled un-
der all these dreadful hardshlps, because
Il gSye a living to themselves and their
Families.
The state Of Tennessee has prisons and
COnvlCts Ike all other states.
It also has political machine manned
By greedy and consclencelesS knavea
who make villain livelihood out Of poll
tlCa.
There were the hundreds Of oonvicts
locked up in State prison. They had
sransgressed the law, and were at the
mercy Of the undetected and unOon-
vlcted scoundrels who had legal author
ity over them.
Here was chance for the political
upoilsmen. that these rasCals always
Sharp-eyed for profit swiftly detected.

TO ADVERTISERS.
Special Notice.

In order to put the forms Of Saturdays
mammoth i6 page editions Of The STAR on
the presses in time to catch early outgoing
trains, and also to give to advertisers the bene-
fit of that larger circulation always secured by
prompt delivery of the paper in the city, the
necessity Of sending in business announce
ments at an earlier hour is earnestly urged.
As much copy as possible Of this character
should be furnished by Friday evening, that
proper arrangement, position and classification
may be assured; and hereafter no advertise
ment-whether new or 're-set'-exceeding
five inches or seventy lines in length, can be
taken after eleven o'clock am, with a guar
antee that it shall appear in the issue of the
same day.
The management Of THE STAR will regret as
much as any one can if disappointment should
in any case follow the enforcement of this rule
which is imperatively demanded by circum-
stances beyond human control. 1t is conf
IDENTITY believed, however, that by the exercise
of due consideration on the part of advertising
patrons all ground for complaint on this ground
can be avoided.
