(IHitchlus ilapgorsl In Ainslee's.)
TThe Star of Hoite, the convict uews-
pajMT at Sing Sing, may do more, to
make known to the whole world the
character and needs of the men of tlie
smaller and more unfortunate .world
than any number of visits to the pris
on. Kemarkahie nrticles have been
written in this twiiier, written by re
markable men, al ter the .day's work Is

tendent. ,; Tlieir ideas about wn-lety,
about the courts, the causes and char
acter of crime. Ideas on prison reform,

aeteristle language of cnsjks; inorc
universally, their sentimentalities,
their humorous i attributes, their, hu
manity vln general; the strange fact
tliat they are like anytssly else, with
a: difference tlue to their environment
iu and out of prison, are i"Tde mam
lest in these artlchs. The result is in-
dCiNl a human document, and It would
Ik hard to say loo, much in praise of
the lilnral imI Icy which allows such a
free paiter to In- nublished. The on
Vlcts are thereby immensely lMnenteiI,
and society may Imj IicIimhI to under
stand those who have sinmnl against
It, and to progress in Its method . of
treating, them. T. ;
jThe editor, -"the contributors, the
typesetters, the copy readers, all con-
ei'ited with i the editorial or mocha ni
cal aspect of tlie Star of Hojie, wear
the prison stripes, and the paper is
circulated only within the walls of the
state prisons of Xew Y'ork at Sing
sing, Clinton and Auburn, althouch
U occasionally finds Its way outside.

puousueii uy tne convicts would liave
great educational value within the
prison, and would exercise the minds
or the inmates, and thus fill a oortlon
or tne lonely hours. which every cin-
yict must pass In his narrow cell. Tire
syhquithy lNtween these two men, one
an inmate of the prison serving a sev
en 3 ears sentence, and the other a
prominent ofticlal. has given the Star
of Hoim a breadth and representative

ten very intelligent criticisms of the
machinery of law and of society's
methods in retraining crime and
treating criminals. The editor and the
