CONGRESSMAN sENNET'S RECORD.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: May l say a few words in reference
10 d political favorite who has been men
toned possible candidate for Gov
ernor on the Republican ticket, the Hon
W. 5. Bennet? | firmly believe that the
present administration. which has lust
made the greatest record in enactinsr laws
which will have 4 tendency toward reme-
dying a number of the abuses which have
heretofore existed, has never mad a greater
advocate than ne; though he may be criti-
cised for his stand in regard TO the tariff. |
am firmly convinced that III this respect he
can properly clear himself and prove con-
clusively that the tariff as enacted was
made to suit universal conditions, and not
local ones
That he has proved to be a consistont
advocate of the rlanks which the Repub
lican national platform advocated and
which the majority of the people approved
cannot lie denied.
AS chairman of the Immigration Conn
mittee his interchangeable and energetic work
deserves the consideration of every votar
in the large cities.

But are these attacks all due to po-
litica or religious rancor? Is there not
also Il feeling of intolerable aesthetic
outrage? Your modern great man is
not a thing of beauty in a bronze or
marble frock coat and bronze or marble
square toed boots. one of them invarl-
ably protruding beyond the edge Of the

offence t1o the eye which only the merits
of the truly great can make us tolerate
and even forgive. The soldier the eX-
plorer. the railroad builder, the pioneer
the missiGnary-a these offer oppor-
tunities of artistic treatment as great
as did the men of old. but not the mod
ern statesman or scientist.
Present day civilian dress is not
adapted to statuary Formerly costume
made men picturesque and imposing;
now it is they who must give their ugly
clothes such grace and dignity as they
can. and these, even when they had
them in life, do not survive them in
bronze or marble. Some picturesque
convention of costume for modern statu-
ary might be established once for all
in the interest of Il reviving art and of
suffering humanity. Did not eighteenth
century portraiture invent the conven-
ton of the smooth face? According
to tradition this meant not clean
shaven one in the lingo of the studios.

regard of the distiguring markings LETT

"SH4KTSG THEM Up" AGAIN.

When Acting Mayor Mitchell sought to
learn the truth about reports that vice
was scandalouSly fragrant at Cohey ISL
and he sent his own men, Wnom he
knew he could trust" to investigate
1t took these men. agents OF the Com
miSSionerS of Accounts. four DAYS 10
find out the facts, and Their reports
about the situation, according TO Mr.
Mitchell. were so shocking that no news
paper could print them Yet all the
while the police could find no violation
Of the law There is Il plain enough
indication Of how little progress has
been made toward solving the police
problem. The police permit fragrant and
scandaIcns violation OF the law at Coney
Island. according to Mr.. Mitchel-and
public information regarding conditions
there bears him out-and the acting
chief executive of the city cannot trust
the police force to obtain the truth II
he would learn whether or not the law is
enforced he must 90 outside of the
Police Department for his information
Evidently the system" is in good work
ing order. despite the abolition of the
'pIainclothes men," and everything else
that has been done 10 end it, 1t is ''the
system which permits conditions like
those reported at Coney Island to exist
ard makes it impossible for the Mayor
To trust the police TO investigate them.
The result of the exposure Of the fall
ure of the police to do their duty is that
a police inspector is reduced TO a cap
taincy, without reduction in pay another
inspector with a reputation for honesty
and efficiency is sent in his place to
clean up" and a shift Of captains takes
place. TO be followed probably in due
course by u transfer of subordinate Of
ficers who were winl1ing at the wide
openr island l. viii be observed that
none of the officers responsible for the
failure TO enforce the laws is likely to
suffer seriously for his failure. y reduc-
ton in rank without reduction in pay
and Il few transfers from fat TO lean
posts will probably be all the penalties
inflicted. But how will the city admins
tration ever obtain control of the uni
formed force if that is the most it can
dc to punish gross inetficiency-if the
situation at Coney Island does not sig
rify something worse than ineficiency?

FIFTH 4TENTE

Trade, driven by the needs of rap
iGIy growing world city, has won at
last. II is question Of only few more
years when the Fifth avenue Of a
quarter of 4 century ago Will be only a
stately memory in the minds of those
New Workers who have reached middle
age. The coaching parade, the Easter
parade. the Sunday afternoon stroll, the
daily procession of equipages to and
from the park. all these are already
things of the past. New York has lost
the most interesting of its street specta-
clcs. and has been unable thus far to re-
place it. The new Fifth avenue. stretch
ing its palaces along the park, is still
tee new. too remote, TOO unfamiliar it
is far more beautiful, but 1t yet lacks
the traditions of the old. Perhaps the
Younger generation. which never knew
the attractions of the favorite prone
made of their elders, will learn to regard
and to cherish the new with the same
measure Of interest.
Then Fifth avenue ran, an unbrokeH
double line. stately in the very monotony
Of its brownstOne fronts, from Washing
ton Square to Central Park. Down there,
al its very beginning. a few Of the fine
old mansions still stand in restful dig
nifty, but who knows how long it will be
before they, too, surrender: Some of
the social landmarks Of earlier days
still remain just above them, but fallen
from their high estate. the names Of
their erstwhile owners still remembered
only by old New Workers. Towering
business buildings have obliterated the
LIS mes of most of them from there UP to
23d street, and In passing one remem-
bers the names Of clubs that long
since moved northward. Above Madison
Square the transformation has been even
more radical and rapid. The inevitable
goal and limit, the Plaza, is now in
sight
But while New York has lost its old
favorite avenue Of fashion and wealth,
with an individuality and associations
all its own, the city is gaining instead
& wide. magnificent equivalent of the
Rue de In Paix and Bond street, shop
ping thorOughfare that in course of time
will ne doubt achieve 4 reputation, an
individuality of its own that will make
it a magnet as powerful to lure the visit
or from out of town with its show Win
dows and it's wares.
