LORD PATECEFOTR.

In the death of Lord Pauncefote the British
Empire suffers bereavement and the whole
world loss. His eulogy as a loyal and et1-
cient servant of the British Crown will be fit
tingy pronounced elsewhere. But at least there
may be recorded In this country a renewed
recognition of the fact that in sending him to
us Great Britain paid us the compliment OF
sending us one than whom there was none bet
ter in all her distinguished diplomatic service.
If the character career and known abilities OF
her ambassador were the criterion OF her Judg-
ment she esteemed her embassy at Washington
second in Importance TO other In the world.
OF Lord Pauncefote in his relationship TO this
country it Is fitting for Americans to speak
more at length. The testimony of integrity ana
information will be that he was from first to
last conspicuously persona grata- This govern
ment and this nation could have wished for no
more acceptable and agreeable representative
of the government and nation of our kin
beyond the sea-" He never forgot that he was
an EnSlishman. and that his first duty was to
serve his own government. But neither dld ne
forget that it is the duty of diplomat to over
come not to create or TO exaggerate, difficulties.
He had the happy faculty of commencing him
self practically to those 10 whom he was COM
mended formally, and of winning the confidence
of those to whom he was accredited without in
the least sighting that of the government that
sent him. He came to this country at time
when through impatience and misrepresentation.
relations between the United States and Great
Britain were far less cordial than they should
have been. He is removed from his place for
ever at a time when those relations are charac-
terized with especial cordiallty, confidence and
intimacy. 1t is only simple justice to say that
in effecting this desirable change Lord Paunce-
fote played an important and valuable part In
doing so he established a strong and enduring
claim upon the gratitude Of this country as we'll
as of his own land.
He had served in other lands before he came
to us. In Europe. in Asia, in Africa and In the
islands Of the Caribbean Sea he had left the
imprint of his activities in behalf of the empire
of which he was a citizen The crOwning work
of his long and well spent life was performed in
the United States, and his best energies were
given to a service which, while it was per-
formed for the benefit of Great Britain, was at
the same time on the whole benefcent to this
country and TO the world, inasmuch as il made
for the betterment of international relationships
and for the promotion of peace and goodwill
among men. In his death the United States
suffers loss, and it gives its sincere sympathy to
the kindred nation which, in a time of triumph
and rejoicing, is thus irreparably bereaved.
New-York tribune., 1902-05-25
OFFENSIVE AUTOMOBILES.

Intelligent public opinion has been strongly
expressed during the last week upon the subject
of the speed of automobiles upon city streets.
1t is overwhelmingly against the proposed in
crease of the speed limit In that il seems to us
it is undoubtedly right. There is no good rea-
son for discriminating in favor Of automobiles
by letting them run faster than horses may be
driven. There are strong reasons for restricting
the speed of all vehicles within the reasonable
limits now imposed. Cars may run faster, be-
cause they are on fixed tracks which other
traffic is supposed TO keep off of as much as
possible, and which serve as a constant re-
minder and warning of the potential approach
of the ears. But vehicles running loose upon
the common road must be kept within moderate
rates of speed. 1t is to be observed that practi-
caIly all the numerous disasters which have
occurred with automobiles have occurred when
the vehicles were being run at a high rate of
speed.
1t is not only in their excessive speed, how
ever, that some automobiles are offensive. 1t Is
also in the noise which they make. When COM
plant is made that horses are frightened at
their noise the curt reply is given that nobody
has any business TO drive horses that get scared
at noises. That reply is not convincing. We
may concede that horses which take fright at
ordinary noises should not be driven in public.
But these engines make not ordinary but eX-
traordnary noises. which offend the ears Of
men as much as they frighten horses. 1t is an
offence to the public to send through the streets
and parks engines which sound like cOmpett-
tive contest of grass mowers and coffee mills or
like whole convention of waing hanshees.
Not merely because they frighten horses but
because they offend the ear and break the peace
and add to the curse of needless noise, such en-
gnes should be banished from the abodes of
man.
There are many automobiles which do not
make such noises, but which are almost, per-
haps fully, as quiet as horse drawn vehicles.
There are those, too, which do not emit clouds
of vapor or the stencil of gasolene. Such We
hicles, If driven at a lawful rate of speed and
in compliance with the ordinary laws OF the
road. are inOffensive. To many people they
have much to recommend them. For many
purposes their use Is to be welcomed, and 1t is
TO be believed they have come 10 stay" But the
rattling, clanking, wheeling, wailing, screeching
things which go rushing about in clouds of
vapOr and whirlwinds of stencil and n deafen-
ing dissonance are unmitigated nuisances un-
worthy of a civilized community. We have too
many nulsances already of sound and smoke
and smell. 1t would be intolerable 10 add to
their number and to make them peripatetlc

SIGNS IN THE PARKS.

It might well be wished that every citizen of
New-York could spend few hours one OF these
fine May days in Prospect Park. That pleasure
ground would not be found quite perfect we
shall presently see. But 1t would be found such
a thing OF beauty and such joy to the senses
as is rivalled by few urban parks in the world
and is surpassed by none. The wealth Of herbal
and arboreal greenery, the multitude of wild
flowers the matchless meadows the sparkling
expanses OF water and the superb vistas over
forest tops and city and country and bay to
the far horizon of the open Atlantic form
combination about near to the nature lovers
ideal as We may reasonably hope in our day to
find within the bounds of a great city. One
other detail must also be mentioned giving
the park not the least of Its charms. That is
the absence of restrictive signs. There are no
keep off the grass" or Keep to the walk
signs in Prospect Park, but visitors are free to
wander where they will, on paths, across lawns
or in the wildwood.
Indeed, It is the lack OF signs of a certain kind
that forms perhaps the most obvious imperfec
ton OF Prospect Park Happily 1t is a lack
that can easily be supplied. We refer 10 the
lack of signs or labels giving the names of trees
and shrubs. Prospect Park is rich In the variety
Of its flora There trees of nearly all native
tribes and species, and many choice acclmated
exOtics. Some of them are, OF course, easily
recognizable by all persons of intelligence, and
there are some persons doubtless who can rec
ognize them all. But to the majority of people
a large and peculiarly interesting part of the
trees and shrubs are strangers. Visitors look at
them, admire them and wonder what they are
The looking and the admiration are well. The
wondering should not be permitted to remain
unsatisfied.
1t would not be necessary to label every tree
in the park, but only, let us say, two or three
typical specimens of each variety in conspicuous
Boston, on the Common and elsewhere this
has been admirably done with small and unob
trusve but perfectly legible metal signs at
tached to the trunks of the trees In Central
and other parks the same end has been reached
by putting such labels stakes few inches
high stuck into the ground at the feet OF the
trees. Each Of these plans has something TO
commend it. We are not sure that there is
much If any choice between them. But we are
sure that some such system would considerably
enhance the value of Prospect Park. both for
pleasure and for instruction. We are not all
skilled botanists. But every man likes to know
the name of the object which he admires, and
when in his favorite pleasure ground he sees
some especially stately or shapely or otherwise
attractive tree he likes to know what kind of
tree it is, and whether 1t is a native or a natu-
| rallied citizen Of the greenwood community

purposing to do So But it certainly Is within
its province to see that the musical entertain
ment afforded under the city's auspices shall
not tend downward toward Grass illiteracy,
toward debasement of taste and degeneration.
1t is easy enough to tend upward instead of
downward, and to give pleasure that shall be
keen for the music loving multitudes who resort
to the recreation piers, and at the same time
have within 1t potency for something better.
1t is a mistake to begin with to think that
the people to whom these bands chiefly minister
are without any appreciation of real spirit and
"gO'' and cleverness in music or even of what
in the upper part Of town is considered excel
Ience in music. They are not strangers to it
nor to the enjoyment of it. The programmes on
the recreation piers should be dverting, enter
tanning. refreshing, and they will be. There is
no reason why they should not be made up of
music full of easily understood melody and in
sinuating rhythm, popular in the best sense;
dance music and marches and arrangements
from comic operas; music written by men with
ideas and the ability to express them All such
music is good" music and is never without Its
appeal and there is no reason why there
should not be occasional piece Of a truly
higher order Of merit-there is an infnity of 1t
in the works of those who are known to the
world among the higher ranks of composers.
Bandmasters of intelligence will have no diff
Guilty in placing them, and they will find that
their efforts do not go unrewarded There is no
necessity of following out Carl Bergmann's die
tum to those who complained to him that his
audiences, whom he was treating to frequent
doses of Wagner, did not like Wagner: Den
dey must hear him till dey do" There is no
need of any deliberate "educationar' purpose
at all-the word Is a disagreeable one, even in
the places where 1t is more generally and appro-
priately employed. But there is also no reason
why the music played even on recreation piers
on summer evenings for folk OF the tenement
house district should tend TO deliberate de-
bauching and deterioration of their taste. 1t
might as we'll be the other way.
