WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER
PROHIBIT1oN sHELVED.

Now that the Hobson prohibition amendment in
the House. the novelty of which awakened wide IN
serest has been put out of the way by the adverse
vote there is reason why the Senate should be
compelled to waste its valuable time the similar
resolution introduced in the Senate.
It would be as possible to get two-thirds ma
crity in the Senate in the House and the House
has already decided the question Senate resolution
would be of no effect even if passed The perform
in the House yesterday really bit of COM
edy. At least one-half the who voted In the
affirmative on the amendment do not have the slight
sst sympathy with its object.
One principal reason is the violation of the SOW
ereign rights of the States by taking away from them
the power over the manufacture and sale of liquor.
If this could be done the Federal government could
have authority to prohibit the growth of cotton
kind of traffic But the underlying sentiment against
nationwide prohibition is its denial of personal
liberty.
That objection has always been and always will
be the great barrier to this proposed change in the
Constitution. Autocratic Russia may by ukase pro-
hibit the sale Of vodka, the drink of the common
people nation Of freemen is going to forge any
such fetters for itself.

ABoL1sH1NG THE WORD CONVICT"

The recommendation of the warden of the Con-
necticut State prison to drop the of the word
convict" should have the approval of every citizen.
The word is of opprobrium and puts a hardship
on many prisoner long after he has satisfied the
demand of the law and has entered society again
with the determination to be and to live a
better life. Those who use the word convict" in
designating who has been In prison are wofully
lacking themselves in the better elements of manhood
which If possessed would lead them be thoughtful
and helpful in aiding the discharged prisoner to a
position of usefulness
In keeping with the idea of the Connecticut war
den is Warden McKentry of the Eastern pententiary
of Pennsylvania, who addressed recently a church
brotherhood; and denied that there is any criminal
class. These men have broken the laws and have
been punished" he said but they are not intrin-
sically different from the ordinary man or more de-
praved by nature" The prisoner has good in him
which ought to be developed This warden went so
far as to say that there are people who under the
"guse of propriety and religion lead life that from
a moral standpoint is far inferior to that of the
average convict" He declared that he knew men
serving sentences in his penitentiary who are "su
perior in way to highly respectable Chris
tian gentlemen, who Systematically robbed and
righteous manner" When wardens of prisons speak
IN such terms it behooves the public listen and
ponder.

As there is certain amount of in
telligence in the cells OF every part of
the body, and as all of the cells which
compose the body are 50 closely re-
lated, so intimately tied together
that whatever affects one affects all
we can easily see how anything thai
affects the brain cells would be in
stantly communicated to every part
of the body. At a matter of fact.
there are departments of the brain
presiding over and corresponding
with every organ and every part of
the body, and when any of these
centres are disturbed by sympathy
the discord is communicated to a
corresponding portion of the body.
When certain brain centre Is dis
eased, for instance, or is affected bv
the presence of some abnormal
growth, or some injury to the skull
there is a corresponding loss of ply
steal function. 1t may be a loss of
speech. a loss of memory, or of some
other faculty or power.
Worry Is very insidious, and it
spreads through the brain like leaven.
Constant dwelling upon any idea
which practically becomes an obses-
sion tends to destroy mental balance;
but perpetually TO dwell upon a
vicious idea, worry, hatred, or re-
venge idea often ruins the brain cells
beyond repair, so that the individual
never becomes normal again. A per-
petual, never-lost idea would ulti-
mately ruin the brain Of a Cicero or
a Webster. The brain is really the
nutritive centre Of life; and what
ever disturbs 1t disturbs the nutri-
tion Of the body by impairing diges-
tion. because the gastric fluids be-
come poor and deficient, and SO af-
feet the assimilation of food. The
transformation of the nutriment into
the various tissues is imperfect, con
sequently the brain cells and all
others will be imperfect, and. of
course, will perform correspondfngly
imperfect functions.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Clever Young Connecticut Lawyer

A distinguished citizen of Connec-
ticut, Lafayette S. Foster, who would
have been President Of the United
States If Andrew Jackson had died
at any time between 1856 and 1857,
because Senator Foster was president
of the Senate-to which office the
succession at that time applied-was
after his retirement from the United
States Senate a Judge of the highest
trial court of Connecticut. Judge
Foster was chosen temporary presi-
dent of the Senate in 1865 because
he was deemed without superior in
his knowledge of parliamentary law.
He was elected Judge of the superior
court of Connecticut chiefly because
| of his great attainments as law
yer.
While sitting as Judge at a GRIM
inal term Of his court, held at New
Haven, Judge Foster had one ex-
perience which he afterward describ-
ed to the district attorney from New
/ Haven county as without any paral-
| lei, he believed, in the history Of
criminal Jurisprudence in the United
States.
The district attorney was a man Of
distinction in his day. His name was
Eleazer K. Foster, but he was of no
| kin to Judge Foster. He would have
been governor of Connecticut in 1861
had he not insisted that it was i'm
perative that the war governor Of
| Connecticut, William A. Buckingham,
should be renominaed and re-eleced
The district attorney narrated to
me the statement made to him by
| the presiding Judge, Lafayette S.
Foster, about the unparalleled incl
| dent which had come under his own
! observation.
st should add to what Judge Fos-
ter said" the district attorney said,
| that the incident to which he re-
ferred is one which should be known
to every young man just beginning
| the practice of law. I myself know
| all about that incident, for I tried the
case with which it was associated.
A man was indicted for arson. The
proof was perfect that he had set

several years There was no insur-
ance upon the house. ! put in all

CLEAR SKIES FOR CHRISTMAS.

Word comes from Washington that Christmas day
this week will have clear skies and snappy tempera-
throughout the United States with perhaps the
exception of the Gulf Coast States There will be
unusual cold That is to if the prediction is full
filed and weather predictions have been found to be
mighty uncertain.
But everybody will hope for fair skies on Christ
well as fair weather during the rest of the
shopping season. The Christmas trade in Newark s
stores has been surprisingly good considering the
traordnary character of the times. If people buy
less Christmas goods the aggregate OF sales keeps up

OF the day shows that although there was an I'M

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
noticed a communication in the
Evening Star of 18th inst signed "A
Civil War Veteran" regarding Cen
eral Woods reasons on the reserve
soldiery. 1 also agree with your edl-
torial on the matter.
Your correspondent quoted the case
of Comrade Ed Crossman when ne
was a. candidate for the position OF
captain in the fire department. he
was turned down without reason, nav
ing passed the examinations Al YET
The commissioners voted against his
nromotion three times, with one hon
ora,le exception, that of Commits
sioner Thomas Edward Burke, who
voted three times for the promotion
of Crossman, and was so we'll appre-
ciated by Lincoln Post, G. A. R., that

ground that the crime of arson had
not been proven. I thought II rather
audacious for this young lawyer to
make that motion. but Judge Foster
said that he would hear what the
young man had to say in supporting
his motion.
We'll, this young fellow produced
the Connecticut statute. which at
that time defined the crime of arson
as setting fire to a building owned
by anyone, not the incendiary,
whereby life was in danger or de-
stroyed. Then the young lawyer
went on to say that the prisoner had
lease Of this house which had not
expired when the house was burned.
He claimed that under the common
law a lease of that kind made the
man who had 1t substantially the
owner Of the place. The only thing
he could not do was to give titie
but he could sell the lease. Then
the young man went on to say that
nobody was endangered by the fire,
since there was no one in the house
when II was burned, and, further
more, the house stood half a mile
away from any other dwelling.
Therefore. the only offense which the
man committed under the law was
either breach of peace, disorderly
conduct, or malicious mischief, and
these were misdemeanors and not
felonies. The owner of the house
could bring a civil action against
this tenant for damages, but that
was all.
IT observed that Judge Foster be-
gan to take keen interest in this ar
gument. When it was ended he said
that he would make a decision on the
following day, and that struck mo as
rather ominous. He did decide in
favor of the young mans motion and
for the reasons set forth in his ar
gument. 1 congratulated the young
lawyer and I asked him who among
the older members of the bar gave
him that hint. He said that no one
did, but that while he was a student
at the law school he became interest
ed in the exposition of the crime OF
| arson. When he was assigned as
counsel for this prisoner that study
was brought to his mind, and he de-
| cided that this man had not CON-
mitted arson IN. accordance with the
| statutes. The case led to action by
the Connecticut Legislature, by
which the arson laws were amended
so as to include case of this kind

lieve there is one of the older mem.
