(ihe New York World), No. 14—The “Era ot Ingratitude.”’ 4g HE man who {s the cause of all our country’s misery ts this dey reduced to the rank of his fellow-citizens, and has no longer the power to multiply the woes of these United States. This day - his name ceases to give currency to injustice or to legalize ogr- fuption. It strikes us with astonishment that one man could thus polsom the princfples of republicanism. This day should form a jubilee.” The foregoing editorial in a Philadelphia newspaper early in 1797 was levelled against no traitor, no dangerous demagogue. The man to whom it | referred was George Washington, the Father of His Country. It was bat one of many scorching denunciations, and it actually represented the feel- ings of thousands of Americans. The hero of the Revolution, the man whose genius had freed America and bad given the helpless young Republic a place among the nations, bad lived to be stormed at in public prints, to be accused of cowardice, dis honesty, bungling statesmanship and lack of military knowledge. Such was the gratitude showered by @ large portion of the country upon that coun- try's Deliverer. The cynical assertion that republics are ever ungrateful seemed to be amply justified. | Our country was young. It was too big for its strength and too strong for its brains, Like a boy afflicted with “growing pains” it was fretful and un- gainly, and was savagely illogical in its dislikes. The butt of most of this mis- use and ill-temper was the man to whom we owed every thing. Washington became President in 1789. The national seat of government at that time was New York City, with a population of less than 33,000, While the country @t large was made up of simple, hard-working, plain folk, there was an “aristocracy” far more sharply defined than any of the present day. Men of wealth and family held aloof from their plainer brethren. They affected costly and flashy costumes that would now be more suitable to comto opera. The women of fashion still more extravagant in dress than were thetr hus- by one of her guests) of the headdress worn by the wife of Gen. Knox, Secretary of War: ‘Her hair in front is craped at least a foot high, much in the form of ® churn bottom upward, and topped off with @ wire skeleton in the same form, covered with black gauze.” Most of the men who formed our Government seemed to fear that Europe / would regard us as @ nation of clodhoppers. And, instead of going ahead in / | their own sane wa: 14 paying no heed to the snvers of outsiders, they sy | to prove themselves as cultured and as well di as any French noble. was amazing to the simpler people here. When Washington drove abroad in & cream-colored coach with liveried servants on it and drawn by six whit ‘horses he was condemned by many as an “aristocrat” Yet he was living only Wa as he believed necessary for a man in his position, The cold dignity that sur: THE HONOR OF THE BENCH. ROM time to time the community has been uncasy over rumors F affecting the honor of the judiciary, but has seldom had the issue sharply presented. Events at last have brought the issue home. In the Second Judicial District, including Brooklyn and Queens, the candidates for Supreme Court Justice named jointly Ly the Democrats and Independence League began suit for criminal | libel against the publisher of the Brooklyn Standard Union because it charged that “Tammany methods” had been used in nominating | the ticket—that is, that money had passed. Suddenly they withdrew suit and apologized to the publisher for the annoyance given. Fort two As the three the Independence League has cancelled its indorse- meni The case against Willett, Callahan and Ketcham stands in this | wise—that all three, apparently under orders from Murphy’s pro- consul, McCooey, declined the vindicating processes of a libel sui that Willett drew $10,000 in bills from bank the day of his nomina-! tion, and that Ketcham, as Surrogate, gave McCooey a $9,000 job, , and a little later received the judicial nomination. Such are the im- | plications of this scandal that the District-Attorneys of Kings, Queens and Manhattan are at work on one part of it. The community will fail of its lesson if it assumes that this is @ Long Island matter alone. The allegation is just that they have been doing in Kings and Queens as Tammany is supposed to do in } Manhatten, and that the master-figures in the judiciary convention, Cassidy and McCooey, are more sub-bosses of Murphy than leaders of their own right. Manhattan has a scandal of its own in the can-| didacy of Cohalan, whose original appointment to the bench was the, product of a miserable bargain between Murphy and Gov. Dix—a e bargain that the Legislature ratified but no free electorate would indorse. | It is time the people read a lesson to the sordid and plotting poli- ticians who would dishonor the judiciary. What matters it whether money actually passes when a judicial candidate is named, or whether | ion comes in return for a fat job already given the boss, | _ or. whether, as Croker testified, judges paid “seven or eight thousand | Mae) dollars” in political assessments; or whether they paid for their nomi- )) ~_ /, nations by awarding refereeships and receiverships to the Tammany i dinner circle? In every case do not these practices seal and advertise a bargain against the public interest and the honor of the bench? Twice this community has shown how high is its ideal of judicial eondact. It shattered the power of McKane at the polls and sent the man.to prison because he tore up a court injunction. It buried! 4 the pretensions of Maynard because he had misused the judicial power | for political ends. There is need that the lesson be sharply repeated , yoand the opportunity is at hand. \| rounded him offended less conservative Americans. His formal receptions an- | gered numbers of Americans and bored foreign visitors, ) His personal life, however, was simpic. Breakias at the Presidential man- | sion (wrote an English diplomat) consisted of “sliced tongue, tea, coffee, toast and butter.” (In those days formal American dinners consisted usually of but ‘one course and dessert, followed by strong tea.) At the Presidential receptions in the evenings tea and coffee and plum cake formed the only refreshments; and promptly at 9 o'clock Mrs, Washington would go among her guests warning Washington, apart from his natural them that it was “the General's bedtim dignity, gave no hint of imitating the ways of foreign courts, His dress was | t rich, but severely plain.
