Particular interest was manifested in
the seIate in "a brief speech delivered
by Senator 4. G. Platt on the general
subject Of expansion.
Mr.. platt took for his text the anti
expansion resolution offered by Mr..
Vest, but in the course Of his speech
merely touched upon the cor stitutional
question Involved in the proposed dec
laration. lie spoke in a clear. resonant
voice, and, not orly because this was
the first speech lie had delivered in the
senate since his return to the body, but
also because the address was thought
ful and well considered statement, he
was accorded undivided attention. A
pleasing. though quiet vein OF humor
ran through the speech, sharply point
ing his statements. He took strong <
ground for the ratification of the pend
ing treaty OF peace. A resolution was
offered by Mr.. Sullivan (Miss.), declar-
ing that the ratification of the treaty
should not commit the cover nment to
a colonial policy.

sOMErHING ELSE NEEDED.

The Clarksburg Mail in chronicling
recent attempts by the young girls al
the State Reform School at Salem to
escape, calls attention to the lonely
surrounding" of the reformatory insti-
tuition. The girls have renamed the
Home "Owlville," and say about the
only things they ever see or hear are
owlAand crows1 While it would not
do to locate an institution of this sort
in a big city or even large town, it
is undoubtedly a mistake to expect
a number of girls, sufficiently wild to
necessitate their being sent to a re-
formatory institution, to be anything
like content amid such surroundings
as obtained at Salem. Reformation is
a hard task at best, even under the
most advantageous circumstances, but
it is made doubly hard under the con-
ditions said to exist at this institution.
Pleasant surroundings, an attractive
and home-like building, and some op-
portunity to hear and see something
besides owls and bats, would, perhaps,
play quite as important part in re-
forming young women as careful man
agement and strict supervision.

THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.

Whenever a party cannot withstand
or answer honest criticism, but instead
resents to offensive and insulting cpl
thets, it is the best of evidence that
it occupies a weak and false position.
The adherents of the present admins
istration in support of the most dis
graceful policy that ever emanated
from Americans, take great delight IN
characterizing opposition to this I'M
American monstrosity-as treason.
In view of the recurring prevalence
of this word it may not be inopportune
to quote upon the rights of free speech,
from the distinguished VIM. H. Seward,
the intellectual leader of the former
Republican party. During the rebel
lion, and while Secretary of State, he
addressed letter to Chas. FRANCIS
Adams, then minister to England, IN
which he said: I'm this country es-
pecially, it is habit not only entirely
consistent with the Constitution. but
even essential to its stability, to regard
the Administration at any time exist
