TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1896.

 

Green, Gray and Red.

Illinois has recently started in for
prison reform on a comprehensive plan,
the fundamental idea of which is to
give convicts every facility and encour-
agement for reformation that is con-
sistent with proper punishment for
crimes. One of these is a change in
prison raiment. It is stated that, with-
in a few weeks, all the inmates of the
penitentiary at Joliet are to be fur-
nished with new clothing totally difl'er-
ent from that worn in any other penal
Institution inthe United States. The
ugly stripes of dingy black and dirty
white are to be discarded and what are
known as “graded suits” are to super-
sede them. Convicts who have 9. rec-
ord of good behavior will wear green—
and with no disrespect to Ireland. The
intermediate class will wear cadet gray
“intending no offense to anybody.
The incorrigible and very unruly will
wear blood red—a compliment, we sup-
pose, to the silverites and anarchists.
All new recruits will don cadet gray
and wear it for six months, when they
will be classified.

"This may see 11 a trivial affair, but it
is not unlikely to produce beneficient
results. There is scarcely any man or
woman so depraved as to have no pride
of personal appearance. Many con-
victs are amenable to all the good in-
finances that appeal to their more far-
Innate fellow-citizens, who are in the
enjoyment of liberty. They abhor the
degradation of the striped suits, and
the wearing of them sometimes obliter-
ates all the self-respect that has sur-
vived conviction and sentence. This
Illinois plan fu'nishes a new and power-
ful incentive to Well doing. As the
character of the inmates will be indi-
cated by the clothes they wear, there
will be a desire on the part of all but
the utterly abandoned to be in tlte
“good behavior” class. It is an eXperI-
ment well Worth the trying in our own
priSOn at Wethersfield, for society has
no interest that is injured, and many
interests that are promoted, by the
reformation of such of its members as
it is compelled to shut up in prison.

Whitney on the Issue.

Fix-Secretary William C. Whitney has
given the following formal statement to
the public:

Will you be kind enough to correct the
statement that I desire the indorsement by
the State organization of the Chicago ticket.
' There are no possible conditions or circum-
stances that would induce me to vote for it or
assist it. W. C. WHITNEY.

Mr. Whitney is the ablest and most
respected Democratic leader of the
country. He has no disappointments
to temper,'no resentments to gratify.
He has been ever conciliatory and ex-
ercised agreater influence in favor of
Democratic harmony during the last
twelve years than any other one man
in America. .

N01 is Mr. Whitney a “gold bug” in
the common acceptation of the term.
He 18 a broad gauge, liberal bimetallist,
but he is too‘enlightened not to know
that this country would involve itself
in bankruptcy and ruin if It attempted
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
as it would inexorably lead at once to
the silver standard of value and cause
universal paralysis of industry and
trad .1. ‘

Mr. Whitney is one of the most ear-
nest, consistent and unselfish Demo-
craas of the country. He turns from
the Chicago ticket solely because he
cannot in good conscience support
either its candidates or its platform,
and his declaration will be accepted as
clearly marking the line of duty for
hundreds of thousands of honest Dem-
ocrats throughout the country.

An Advance in Civilization.
The correspondence between the
, goverments of the United Stites and
Great Britainlooking to the negotia-
tion of a treaty of arbitration, for the
peaceful adjustment of international
disputes, has been made public sim-
ultaneously both at Washington and
London. Though it has not yet
reached a conclusion, it manifests a
spirit of mutal accommodation as well
is of caution that gives promise of re-
sults of the highest imertance to the
.whole civilized World.

 

 

The speech of Lord Salisbury in pre-
sentlng this correspondence to Parlia-
ment is in itself a remarkable expres-
sion of broad-minded statesmanship,
the more remarkable ”when we recall
the irritation caused by the correspon-
dence which preceded this. No doubt
the eXpression of public sentiment upon
both sides that followed the Venezuela
incident has had its efi'ects upon the
official attitude. Our own government
could ask no more general acknowledg-
ment of its substantial right, both in its
general contentidn for the principal of
arbitration and in its friendly solicitude
in behalf of a weak neighbor than Lord
Salisbury now freely accords.

The enormous difficulty of drawing
such a treaty as is proposed, so as to
make it really effective without an im-
possible surrender ot sovereignity, is
fully appreciatedon both sides. It is a
new undertaking in the history of great
nations. But if, as is believed, both
nations, or the best part of them, sin-
cerely desire such a pacific compact, it
can and will be accomplished, to the
honor of both and to the incalculablc
benefit of civilization.
