MR.. HARNESS AND THE SCHOOLS.

We can scarcely believe that Mayor Mcclellan
intends, as reported, to begin showing that ne
can be a better Mayor than Murphy will allow
him to be by displacing William Hardness from
the Board Of Education to make room for for
mer saIoonkeeper with political backing the
most conspicuous item In whose public record is
an indictment for assault which was never
brought to trial.
William Hardness is one of the most useful
members of the Board of Education. His con-
nection with the schools extends over quarter
Of century, for he was appointed to the BROOK
Ivn Board of Education in 1879 by Mayor Howell.
He was a leading member of the Brooklyn board
until consolidation, and he has since been faith
full and able worker for the schools Of the city Of
New-York. Himself a man Of the people, edu-
Gated in a night school, he has attended to the
uncompensated work Of his Office with q keen
intelligence sound judgment and exraor-
binary affection which have commanded the
admiration of everybody familiar with the edu-
cational work of the city. He is practical man.
Of hard common sense, beyond suspicion or cor
ruption, uniformly avoiding selfish personal or
political intrigue. and supporting progressive
policies His work on the board has been in
valuable, and so long as he retains his mental
and physical powers, which are now not at all
impaired he should remain commissioner de-
spite any change of administration. His removal
would be deplorable loss to the people,
We hope that If Mayor Mcclellan contemplates
rewarding a personal or political favorite at
such cost he will change his mind. Should he
make the removal it would be e notice that he
intended speedily to complete the decentralization
which has already gone far through his appoint
ment of inferior men who have played politics
with the schools. 1t would also dash every hope
of independent citizens that, being elected by an
appeal for Republican votes after half Of Tam
many had deserted him and the other half was
powerless. he would rise above his Tammany ira
ditions and give an Independent and enlight-
ened administration.

A NOTABLE AyNITERsABY.

Thanksgiving Day 1905, will be Of special i'm
portance to the Jews of this country. the day
having been set aside for the celebration of the
250th anniversary of the settlement of the Jews in
the United States. Jews had come to this CONT
nent prior 10 1866. The records show that of the
three hundred thousand VINO were driven out of
Spain by royal decree on August q 1892 at least
five sailed with Columbus the following day, and
some historians assert that one of these Luis de
Torres, was the first European to tread the soil
of the new continent
The celebration on Thanksgiving Day is to
commemorate the first grant of privileges
which was sent to Governor Stuyvesant by the
Dutch West India Company in answer to re
monstrances from Jews, in the course of which
it was said after many consultations we have
decided and resolved upon a certain petition
made by said Portuguese Jews. that they shall
have permission to sail to and trade in New
"Netherland and to live and remain there, pro-
"vided the poor among them shall not become Il
burden to the company or to the community.
"but be supported by their own nation. You will
govern yourself accordingly"
The little group of Spanish and Portuguese
Jews in New Netherlands at that time has grown
steadily until to-day, with its seven hundred
thousand souls, it Is the largest Jewish commu-
nifty in the world The immigrants from Spain,
Portugal and Holland were followed toward the
middle of the last century by many Jews from
Germany, Poland and Austria and about TWEEN
ty-five years ago, when life became burden to
them in Russia. the exodus from that country
began
The advent of the Russian Jew in great num-
bers placed a heavy burden or his brethren in

the whip of persecution and unused to freedom.

ences on Thanksgiving Day will refer with pride

THE HUDSON rBRoENrBNARY

The 3OOth anniversary of Henry (not Hendr1c0
Hudsons discovery OF the river which bears bis
name will be worthy OF commemoration, and its
commemoration should be made worthy OF It
The plan of building Hudson Memorial Bridge
over Spuyten Duyvtl Creek has been proposed
and has met with much favor. 1t is to be hoped
it will be appropriately executed because such
structure would be a fitting and enduring me-
mortal 1t would be- If properly designed an
adornment of the city, and by connecting the
northward extension Of Riverside Drive with
RiverdaIe-ave and thus the parkway system of
Manhattan with that of The Bronx, it would
serve most useful and practical purpose. SUCH
a bridge is urgently needed anyway, and, since
1t needs to be built 1t may well be made
memorial of Henry Hudson as to receive any
other name.
1t is proposed, however, to do something more,
and there is talk of worlds fair else OF
permanent exposition Now concerning the former
scheme, while we would not play the ungracious
part Of killjoy, we must say that we think it
not well advised. Our impression is that Phtla-
delphia, Chicago and st. Louis have not found
such enterprises permanently profitable to them
but rather the reverse. New-York would doubt
less be able to hold much larger and finer fair
than any of them, but we do not think this city
needs It to advertise its greatness or to attract
visitors hither, and we do not believe it would,
on the whole be profitable to us. To our mind
too there has been a tendency to hold too many
worlds fairs. Paris manages to have one every
eleven years, but we are inclined to think that
one in q generation is enough for US. Certainly
it would seem Of doubtful discretion to attempt
another only five years after that at St Louis.
The scheme of permanent exposition is much
more attractive. The Commercial Museum at
Philadelphia is cited as an example That insti-
tuition is q valuable one, and might well be dupli-
Gated in every large commercial city. A perma-
nent institution in New-York, based upon the
same principle, but, of course, much larger and
more comprehensive, would serve useful pur-
pose, not only to this city, but to the whole
country Of which 1t is the financial, industrial
and commercial capital. 1t will be recalled that
half a century ago almost precisely such an In
sdtution was created in this city In the famous
Crystal Palace, and 1t was, for its time, one OF
the most creditable and admirable expositions
ever brought into being. 1t was meant to be
permanent always open exhibition Of the world
Of art and industry which should have much
value at once for entertainment for education
and for the promotion Of business and commerce
The reestablishment of that institution, upon
scale commensurate with the increased size of
the city and the nation, would be a worthy and
benefcent commemoration of one of the most
important incidents in the commercial history Of
the modern world.
