In the Violent Ward.

The Hon. JOHN BVTIN MORAN, Moran
and Dry-Hearst candidate for Governor
of Massachusetts, has been accepted
with a fine fervor and sympathy by the
enlightened Massachusetts, Democracy.
MIR. MORAN has won a worldwide re-
nown by his dauntless prosecution of the
screens in the Hotel Essex. Nobody
else but pale Death has summoned 80
many people. He is justly called grim"
in the platform, a work Of art entirely
worthy of him and his great nominstor,
the Hon. GEoRGB FRED WILLIAMS. .

District Attorney may appear for all

No other man is 80 capable Of repre-

the Hon. JOHN BUTfN MORAN.
Abolition of capital punishment that
we may no longer be barbarians." Bar

civilized people fail to see through
MORAN? Still, the plank" was needed.
1t may save the life Of that young mon
ster of iniquity at Cambridge who is said
to have tripped up q policeman and has
his choice OF being burned on Boston
Common or dying in lingering agOnies
while MORAN rebukes him.
Laws defining what conduct Of grand
jurors shall be criminal" Why not
abolish jurors, grand and petty? MORAN
is law and justice enough. Why not
sentence the petty jury and let the OPP

MORAN is bound to leave his Office greater

Laws providing that all offenders on
whom fines are imposed may, in all

Mr.. MErz is very unreasonable. He
is familiar with the management OF
private businesses, but he shows a
hmentable lack Of ~appreciatioD OF the
needs and practices Of government SER

Largest Map OF Africa.

A man who died in France last month
will long be remembered for n monu-
mental achievement. In 1875 Colonel
DE LANNoY DE BIssY, chief Of the carto-
graphic service of the French army,
began to prepare his map Of Africa. He
gave TO this work all the time he could
spare for fourteen years, and his finished
map in sixty-three sheets is still the
largest nap Of the whole continent.
II is on a scale Of 31.4 statute miles
to an inch, which is larger than that
of the best map yet made Of the whole
United States.
1t was a work Of enormous labor and
worthy to be remembered, both because
il was the best Africa map Of its time
and also because IL has been extremely
helpful to hundreds Of men who have
been agents in the pioneer development
of the continent. In its preparation
Colonel DE LANNoY DE BIssY had before
him about 1900 route maps and all the
writings of African explorers that he
could obtain. He had as the basis of
his maps the coast surveys Of the British
and French photographic offices and a
comparatively few astronomically fixed
points in the interior; and on this founda-
ton, too slender and fragmentary TO
be secure, he imposed the facts which
he sifted with infinite pains from the
enormous amount Of material he had
collated.
The work involved many puzzling
questions, for explorers did not agree
ever as to the direction Of some water
coarses and mountain systems. This is
the reason it took fourteen years to COM
plete the map. He gave five months to
the drawing Of a single sheet showing
the Gondar province Of Abyssinia. His
work was not perfect because he could
not always decide correctly between the
contradictory afirmations Of explorers;
but his insight was keen, his judgment
was good and his map was a remarkable
product Of African c~artography.
Colonel DE LANNOY DE BIssY said at
the Berne Geographical Congress fifteen
years ago that il it was intended to ex-
plain clearly on the maps of Africa the
whole results Of exploration il would
be necessary by 1900 TO adopt a scale at
least twice as large as that of his map,
His prediction has come true. The
photographic Offices both Of the French
and British Governments are now max
ing maps Of Africa on a scale exactly
double that Of the first large map Of the
continent; and within three years the
Germans and French have produced
admirable maps of large areas on scales
three or four times as great.

A MODEL ENGLISH VILLAGE.

Wooded Park.

From me LONDON 1tHes.
During the past eleven years Bournville
village has arisen, and to-day it shelters a
community of about 5000. II covers an area
Of more than 500 acres. nearly the whole OF
which was a free gift by Mr.. George Cad
bury. The villa ge. which stands amid gar
dens and park lands, comprises dwellings
which are not beyond the resources Of the
artisan. and also o fair proportion Of houses
OF the villa type. No two houses are alike.
The average garden space allowed to each
house Is 600 square yards; and that most OF
the occupiers take a pride In their gardens Ia
a0un1antly evident, The roads are a. feet
wide. and are planted with trees. The
houses are set back at least 20 feet from

Mr.. George Cadbury explained that out Of
their. 1000 w~orkpeOple only seven had died
for the last four years, a death rate of less
than two per 1000. Sir hundred or 700 girls
had learned to swim in q large bath provided
for them at the works. Practically all the
boys and men could swim.
No cottaG e Ia allowed TO occupy more than
one-fourth or one-hfth Of the area Of land
on which IL stands. Mr.. Cadbury urged that
II we were to maintain our position as an
imperial race the problem of o~vercrowding
must be faced. At BOurnville village the
death rate was rs, whereas in the working
class quarters OF Birmingham the rate was
three times as high. One of the principles
Vile was that every child should he within

hoped England would soon adopt the German
scheme Of not allowing any district to be
developed for building without the whole OF
the plans being first submitted to a central
authority.

Cuban Disarmament.

The disarming of the rebel forces in
Cuba, although a matter Of some inn
portance, should not be regarded in a
too serious light. 1t ia, after all, only a
secondary consideration. The first and
most important consideration is that
the forces in the field return to their
homes and go to work. II some OF the
men, or even many, slip away, carrying
their weapons with them, it is only what
might have been expected, and it consti-
tutes no grave menace to the present,
order of things OF to the future peace Of
the island.
Rigid enforcement of the order that
every man who carried a gun in the late
uprising shall surrender his weapons to
the authorities certainly would provoke
antagonism, and probably would excite
hostilities. Anything Of that kind would
be too great a price to pay for a few
guns The seizure of every gun in the
island would be no guarantee Of future
peace. "
The only deterrent and preventive of
revolution is good government. The

Of a physical i~mpossibility. The insur-
rsctO is elusive. He fades away, and
his gun fades with him; or he remains,
and his rife vanishes. The machetes
may be retained in any case. They are
weapons in war and indispensable inn
plements in time Of peace. Eager as
the American boy is to own a gun, among
all the guns carried by the Cuban rebels
there are only comparatively few that an
American lad would take as a gift.
The retention by their owners Of even
a considerable percentage of the entire
COLLECTION would have no appreciate
effect upon Cuba's future peace and
order; and too much Importance should
not be attached to the question Of an
exhaustive roundup. or course, las
many guns as possible will be collected;
but the disappearance Of even a con-
siderable percentage will not be a serious
disappointment or be regarded as a
cause for war.

states would not svsn consider the ques-
ton Of interference.
A little later Acting Secretary BACON
again cabled Mr.. STEINHART, telling him
for his private information that Preet-
dent ROOSEVELT believed actual imme-
diate intervention to be out Of the quee-
ton, although Intervention would ulti-
mately come unless the people OF Cuba
should evince patriotism enough to settle
their partisan and personal quarrels and
live together in peace. On September
~ the Cuban Secretary Of State sub
mitted on behalf OF President PALMA a
memorandum for transmission TO WASH
inKtOti. in which Il was admitted that the
rebels had &c increased in the provinces
Of Santa Clara, Havana and Pinar del
Rio that the Havana Government was
unable to prevent them from capturing
towns and destroying property. Ac-
cordingiy President PALMA entreated
President ROOSEVELT 10 send to Havana
with the greatest secrecy and rapidly
two or three thousand men TO avert a
catastrophe In that city. That some
thing like a panic now prevailed in the
Executive palace at Havana may be in
ferred from the fact that on the very
next day September 49, DIR. SrKINHART
cabled that President PALMA, on behalf
of the Republic Of Cuba, oficially asked
for American Intervention, on the plea
thst he could not prevent rebels from
entering cities and burning property.
IN the same despatch Mr.. SrEINHART
announced that President PALMA had
resolved i~rrevocably to resign and TO
deliver the government Of Cuba to the
representative whom President RoosR-
VEIL should designate for the purpose
as o o as sufficient American troops
should have been landed in the island.
In another despatch, cabled the day
afterward, Mr.. STEINHAKT reasserted
that President PALMA had firmly re-
solved not to continue at the head Of the
Cuban Government, ven though the
present disturbances should q at
once, and the Consult General added that
Vioe-President CAporE and the Cabinet
Ministers were also determined 10 re-
sign. Under the circumstances there
would be no native legal authority in
Cuba, and anarchy would BE inevitable
unless the Government Of the United
States should take the measures needed
to avert the danger.
1t was OF the utmost importance that
this official correspondence should be
published without delay, no matter what
effect it may have upon the sentiments
with which PALMA, CAPoTE and the
members OF the defunct Cabinet are
likely 20 be regarded by their COM
patriots. Evidently the Moderates took
for granted that American bayonets
would prop them in their Offices. no mat
ter how defective their title TO them
might be in equity. Our friends and
neighbors in Latin America will please
take notice that our Intervention vas
besought by the Havana Government,
but was accorded with extreme unwill-
ingness and has been carried out with
an eye singl& TO the enforcement of Justice
and the quick furtherance Of Cuba's sec
ond experiment in self-government.

Dark and Bright OF Judaism.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-.Sr, That Juda-

a condition Of petty Indifference, ignoring tina

leading the East Siders In what they would rcva I'd
as the right road to Judaism.
Despite the fact that Theses SAM individuals who
pretend to better conditions on the East Side are
striving might and main for credit for what they
have not done, and despite the fact that they
beWail In the press and elsewhere the religious
conditions Of their East Side brethren, Judaism Ia
certainly waning there. There are VARIOUS reasons
for Its waning. FIRST and foremost must be Ig-
norance of Jewish history; secondly, prosperity,
and thirdly, I don't believe there arc any persons
on the East Side who BY their plety and goodness
would lead others to emulate their example.
Mr.. Berger Informs your readers that the Jews
are Initiating their Christian bnc thTen by organic
ing Institutions similar to thOss which the Christian
have. namely, Young Mems Hebrew Associations,
because there are Young Mems Christian Associa-
lions. and the Jewish EndeavOT Society. organized
on De lines Of the Y Dung Peoples Society OF Chris
tian EndeaVor. ! for one believe that the Jew
may initiate the Christian without losing self re-
spect whenever there Is good reason for initiating,
as. for Instance. | believe the syDagOgueS could well
follow the churches in having drinking fountains
at their entrances, SO that the pedestrian when
thirsty might stop and drink. That day will be
worthy OF celebration when public drinking foun-
alns are placed in front OF synagozucs.
