This latest cable from Madrid contains
the most sensible treatment of a difficult
question that has yet appeared in that
quarter:
A scmi-official note, issued today. con-
tains an appeal to all Spaniards to furnish
assistance to save the national credit if
they do not wish foreign capital to be with
drawn from Spain
The note adds:
Some people believe Cuba ought to as
sumo her own debt. no matter in whose
hands is her Sovereignty because she her

Cuba cannot. because Spain made herself
responsible.

Few Thanksgiving days have ever come
to this nation without bringing ample cause
for gratitude. Even in it's darkest days the
republic has had reasons for giving thanks
for blessings received. The observance of
the annual custom which reCurs today has
accordingly never been checked for the lack
of substantial foundations. This year there
is no suggestion of any deficiency. The
twelve months which close today. the year
OF gratitude as distinguished from the cal
endar year Of the people and the fiscal year
of the government. have been exception
ally full of events which have carried the
citizens Of the republic far ahead in their
advancement along the lines of free gov
eminent and right living.
Notably. of course. the war with Spain.
however much it has cost in lives, in suf-
ferng. in money has been a pronounced
blessing. 1t has cemented the sections of
the country together as never before 1t
has united the hearts of the people of all
the states in a broad spirit of patriotism
1t has revived the true sense of pride in the
cause Of liberty and has set the nation
fairly in the front among the powers of the
world as an element potent for civilization
and progress.
The freeing of Cuba from the clutches Of

for this deed. The capacity for evil of the
powers of unrest and retrogression has
been Curtaied A sore spot is in the way
to be cured and not only this continent but
ali the world will be benefited thereby.
AT home the people have prospered. The
crops OF the farmers have been good. The
Mills have been busy and the idle have been
employed. The nations treasury has re-
hected the plenty which has enveloped the
land in a golden garment. The wars re-
quirementS demonstrated the wonderful
confidence of the people in their govern
ment and their ability to help it when it re-
quirtd assistance in an emergency.
There have been disasters of course and
many sad events have occurred to darken
the picture of general beatitude which the
year has painted. The war itself meant
many cruel experiences, much bitter suffer
ing But ii was in good cause and the
sole complaint of the people was that per-
haps some of the pain might have been
spared by better management. Yet the
faith Of the public in the strength and the
capacity of the government has not been
Weakened.
The republics banner has been carried
far atield- First to Hawaii, then to Porto
Rico. and now, in effect, to the Philippine
Islands. The benefcent significance of the
stars and stripes is to be extended to other
peoples who Will in time have equal rea-

States to celebrate the day set apart for

The American utimatum to The Spanish

other things, whether they really meant
that the ultimatum must be answered by

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
They could not believe that the Americans
could really be positive as to set a per

Perhaps. influenced by the recollection of
the earlier days of the conference, when
delays were granted with unfailing patience
and courtesy by the conquerors, the Span

Americans in this instance was form of

4 Victim of GaI,hle.

The remains of General Don Carlos Buell.
We're buried at ST. Louis yesterday. He
was a native of Ohio, a graduate of West
Point and at the beginning of the civil war
held the rank of colonel. He consid-
cred one of the most capable officers in the
army, and was sent into the field as a gen.
eral of volunteers.
His career theTe~opened most suspicious
ly. He showed fine organizing powers, and
he impressed himself on his associates and
on the enemy good fighter. He saved
the day at Pittsburg Landing, arriving with
his forces in time to help General Grant
out Of 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
vile and Cincinnati. But Buell. took a
short cut and reaching Louisville first
strengthened himself there and then ad-
yanced to meet Bragg. The meeting oc-
CURED at Perryvilie, where a bloody battle
was fought. Bragg retiring slowly from the
field. Buell., il was charged did not prop
erly follow UP the advantage gained in the
battle, and he was relieved of his COM
mand.
An inv estigation was ordered and was
begun. The charges were vague, and some
of them false. 1t was attempted for one
thing, to account for Buelrs alleged lack of
energy in following Bragg by circulating a
story that the two men We're brOthers-in-
| law, whereas they were not connected at
| all. either by blood or marriage. The in
vestigation dragged, and report was
ever made. But Buells enemies had ac-
complished their purpose. They had put
an end TO his career as a soldier. and after
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-
BILE service at Pittsburg Landing. and he
whipped his man at Perryvile How great
a figure he might have cut had not de-
traction set in is of course, a matter mere
ly for speculation.
He victim largely of gabble-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 good soldiers are just now
being pursued with the same weapon.

buked for giving voice to pessimistic views
concerning the foreign policy of the gov
eminent. The Star grieved over the sena-
tor as convert to pessimism, and did not
denounce him as a traitor
Mr.. Hendersons 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. 1t has simply expressed its
disapproval Of his views. 1t does not be-
lieve with him that eternal smash is just
ahead of the republic. 1t is one thing to
gag 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.. Hoars position
as a United States senator. That was pre-
cisely what The Star did. 1t expressly
noted the vast difference between the ut
tering of pessimistic views by the art pro-
fcssor of Harvard and by the senator from
Massachusetts. The one merely joins the
feeble 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 Off
cial concern. When he takes the stump,
therefore, and voices a negative. pessi-
mistc 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 is
now confronted.
Inasmuch Mr. Henderson expressly
declines to approve or disaDprove of the
sentiments 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
or the part of Mr.. Hoar which it was care
full to emphasize.

ELSEWHERE In today's issue of The Star
VIII be found a communication from former
United States Senator J. b. Henderson de-
Tending Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts
against an imaginary charge of practical
treason which In Mr.. Henderson's opinion
this paper brought against the Massachu-
setts statesman in recent editorial utter
ance. The Star said incidentally that Sem
ator Hoar. by the public utterance of his
belief that the acquisition of the Philippine
Islands Il subject state would mean the
destruction of the American republic, gives
the Spaniards very great comfort and
stiffens their backbone in the negotiations
for peace This Is the statement in unmis-
taxable words of an incontrovertible fact.
Mr. Henderson evolves from the statement

constructed this straw man proceeds to

their character and utility for such pur-
pose, embracing histories, biographies and
standard fiction. The prisoners who main
tain fair record of good conduct are per-
mitted to read in the library each evening
from $50 until 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 INSTRUMENTATION has been re-
duced from forty-eight month to fifteen
and less. There is much encouragement in
this showing for those advocates of prison
reform who believe that the falling of a

by efforts to bring the prisoner to higher
