Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson. whose birthday was
celebrated yesterday, is worthy of memory
as one of the foremost men this continent
has ever produced. Jederson's services to
the republic were beyond estimation. His
words, his writings. his actual work In
management and administration. his sound
advice and coolness in time of trouble, all
coatributed directly and powerfully to cre-
ate and establish the great nation that has
never forgotten the duty of remembering
the men who laid its foundations. Jeffer-
sons character was such as to command
respect and condolences His abilities were
beyond question. His conceptions of the
duties of the citizen to the state and of the
state to the citizen were clear and whole
some. He stood for good government, hon.
est government, strong government. His
greatest and most enduring work. the
Declaration Of Independence. through its
adoption and the successful effort to sus-
tain 1t, marked tremendous chafigs in the
history Of the world. It fs well that proper
attention IL paid to his name and his deeds

The Lesson of Municipal Art.

One of the best features of the general
awakening of interest in municipal affairs
in this country among men of activity in
business and professional lines is the wide
spread realization Bhat more attention IS
due 10 the artistic side of community life.
One evidence of this phase of the case is
presented in the form of municipal art
number of the publication Municipal
Affairs. issued by the Reform Club of New
York This publication is calculated 20
arouse a hign degree of interest in the ar
tistic side of public enterprise. A list of
the papers shows the range of the con-
tents These articles are: Public Art in
American Cities, Popular Art in Belgium
The City's Pian." Civic Architecture
From Its Constructive Side" Municipal
Sculpture. Mural Painting" Civic Treat
ment of Color" together with a number of
Eotes in the same vein of investigation
and suggestion Local interest centers Shst
at prese Mt in such matters as that which
is treated IN the article on THE City 5
Plan" by Julius F. Harder. which is a
study of the various possibilities in the
treatment of urban and semi-urban space
in the development and extension of a
city's AREA Mr.. Harder says of this city:
If cities chould be planned first and in
duced TO grew accordingly there would not
be so much of contrary depravity in their
II ake-up. Intention does not precede
growth; they grow first and the rational
order Of creation is reversed. Washington
the exception which proves the rule has
most excellent plan, but here is the solitary
case where intention went before result
The moment that the new seat of govern
Hent was located the future city could be
reasonably apprehended and lines deter
nired for its economical development
Here was new ration requiring a new
capital Its founders went about the plan
ming OF the future city with the same in
spired clearness of vision with which they
planned the nation, forged its policies and
fought its battles
Mr.. Harder. however. seems to have con-
sidered Washington as having been con
fiji ed in its development to the strictly
logical lines of its original plan. He has
lot taken into account the later growth
outward, necessitating new adjustments
and giving rise, because of a failure of
those adjustments in certain parts 10 a
most embarrassing condition with regard
TO the present and the future. Later in
the course of his article he says:
The matter of judiciously planning the
comparatively unsettled districts adjacent
10 New York presents no serious obstacles;
as to these the present conditions are for
tunate and similar to those which evolved
the plan of Washington the brilliant re-
suits OF which should be profitably emu
lated in New Yorks environs"
There should never have been any diff
Guilty here. The present should be as free
from embarrassment as Mr.. Harder con-
ceives IL TO be. But unhappily the fine op-
portunity afforded by the city's original
plan was neglected and our legislature per
mitted the original city to be girdled by a
band of inharnon.ous subdivisions whi IN
the community is now making a despera. .e
effort to correct ir a manner which will
work no injustice.

Independent Cuha.

The speech delivered by Mr.. Foraker in
the Senate yesterday was a valuable con-
tribution to the whole Cuban subject. 1t
was strong in reasoning power, unusually
full in the way of facts and admirable in.
waole. indeed. in matter 10 less than in the
ci arm of its oratoricai investiture an all
together striking performance The Senate
has new orator and dobateI oI
nay well be proud.
Mr.. Foraker fayors the immediate recog-
milton of the present Cuban government
But IT Is rot necessary to agree with him
on that point to be able to testify to the
excellence of his effort. Those who do agree
with him could not well ask or expect an
ADLER presentation of their case He has
summarized the performances Of that gov
eminent in very effective style, and his
trfbute-spoken after Investigation and upon
conviction-to the men who organized and

an attractive light to the people of this
country. The Stars Cuban correspondence
from the time when Mr.. Mannix visited
and described the Cuban capital Cubitas,
and the personnel of the insursent govern

ter and motives of the revolutionary lead

founded.

al obligations" They will be there to as
sist even If an entirely new oIsanization of
affairs is to follow the expulsion of Spain.
Men of such love of liberty. such capacity
for affairs, such knowledge of the needs of
Cuba and such longing to see her take her
rightful place among the Independent gov
ernments of the world WILL in the very ma
ture Of things, play an important part In
shaping her destiny once the Spanish yoke
Is thrown off.
Immediate recognition by Congress OF the
insurgent government as displaying the
characteristics of an independent nation
would be the legislative exercise of an ex-
ecutive power in a manner displeasing to
the President. The Senate resolutions re-
frain from recognition of the insurgent gov
ernment, but do recognize that the people
of Cuba are free and Independent. If they
are free, how have they become so?
Through the insurgent armies now in the
field. The Senate recognition is of a VIC
torious army, wrestling freedom from Spain,
which has not yet established in the clash
of arms full-hedged government, equipped
with all the paraphernalia characteristic Of
a nation. There is no reflection upon the
Cuban patriots in refraining at this time
from recognizing the independence of their
government. There would be a gratuitous
reflection upon the President in taking this
action. Without legislation the President
can at any moment as a war measure or
for any other reason tender this formal rec
ognition.
The prospect is bright for Cuba. both
without and within. The United States will
stand between her and any foreign foe. and
there are those within her borders, as Mr..
Foraker has shown, capable not only of
organising and conducting good govern
ment but of making the noblest sacrifices
for their country

Bismarck's Mistake.
From the New York Tribune.

America reminds Bismarck Of "a mighty,
hat ghty, overgrown giant, snorting with
al xiety to expend on the world at large his
unlimited physical power" But 1t is his
opinion that its people lack politeness and
have much to learn from Europe on that
score He thinks them too coarse in their
expressions Of ill-will, but still likes their
rudeness better than the false, hypocritical
suavity in which the Spaniards are so
adept. But the great chancellor is much
at fault in imagining that as a nation we
lack politeness. We. of course, have our
share of blackguards, in and out of public
life, as other countries have, some native
aid some imported, but they are not num-
erous or fragrant enough to set national
stamp on our manners. Washington, to
take an historic instance, vas quite 6 S
polite as Frederick the Great or Bismarck
himself. and President McKinleys cour-
tesy, official and personal, would moult no
feather in comparison with that of William
II. Though we say it as shouldn't" we
are quite as good-mannered our neigh
bcrs. Bismarck mistakes the plug ugly
for the general type of patriot current
here, and in this does not display his old
tine perspcacity.

The Consular Reports.

In the regular line of their duty, our con-
suls have reported what has been going on
in Cuba for the last three years and the
effect produced on American interests ~
these events They have not been partisans
either of Spanish rule the insurrection.
They have testified the business agents
of the United States. The attention of
Americans is now directed to these reports
They show what has been told by all the
rest, that Spain has converted Cuba into a
hell on earth and cannot, If she would, put
out the flames. This inferno happens to be
at our own doors The consuls do not sug-
gest what we should do about it. They
only give a perfectly straightforward ac-
count of the situation.
