TAMMANY'S HUMILIATION.
NEVER in its history has Tammany been humiliated as it has
been this year. Never has that political organization been
punished for high-handed outrages as Murphy and his gang
have been castigated for the impeachment of Gov. Sulzer. The
action of a Governor and Legislature, that hold office through
Tammany's power, in refusing longer to obey dictation from it
and passing the very bills for the support of which Sulzer was
removed from office has added the last measure to the burden of
the tax that it has been compelled to pay for the unbridled and
outragious leadership of Murphy. The defeat of Tammany in
dozens of Democratic primaries and in the elections that follow
ed them was a severe blow, but Tammany has been defeated with
in the party and at elections before. It remained for this year
1913 to witness repudiation of the boss by those of his inner cir
cle and most of the rank and tile. Heretofore in times of disaster
those who have been in the favor of the head of Tammany have
gone down with him in defeat and bore his colors to the breeze
as they fell. They have kept their organization intact and have
been able to get victory out of defeat. But that is no longer so.
For the first time, as far as Tammany is concerned, there is none
so poor as to do reverence to a fallen chieftain.
What does it all mean? Simply that the old order has chang
ed. New Yorkers, including many of the Tammany organization,
have been touched by the new baptism of democracy which insists
that the people shall rule. New York is about to join the proces
sion of progressive States. Her people are; discarding the bosses,
and taking charge of their own government as those of New Jer
sey. many of the Central and Southern States and most of the
States of the West have done.
Choice locations on Fifth Avenue are increasing in value. !
This is tangible evidence that bond owners and stockholders are !
not afraid of a failure of the coupon and dividend crop.
LESSONS OF "MONA LISA" INCIDENT.
VINCENZO PERUGIA, the Italian house painter and decor
ator, who stole "Mona Lisa" from Paris Louvre, has prob
ably discovered by this time not only that "two wrongs do
not make a right," but that a second wrong often causes people
to forget the first. There have been many art connoisseurs whose 1
pleasure at viewing the famous Louvre and other Paris art col
lections, in which are many pieces that Napoleon ruthlessly took
from the Italian galleries, has been marred by a feeling of regret
that they could not see the pictures in the places where they be
lieved that they rightfully belong. That feeling will not be so pro
nounced hereafter in the case of "Mona Lisa," the restoration of
which has placated a sense of outraged justice, notwithstanding
that its perloiner attempted to justify his act by saying that he
took the picture to avenge the Italians against the French for
the pillaging by Napoleon.
This "Mona Lisa" incident also illustrates what a vain thing
after all is vengeance. Rather than visiting punishment upon
the French for taking this and other great works of the masters,
Perugia has added priceless value to a French property. The
mystery that surrounded the whereabouts of this famous picture
for more than two years between its theft in August, 1911, and
its restoration at the Louvre in December, 1913, has multiplied
many times the interest in its history and consequently its worth
in dollars. The housepainter's vengefulness, like usually is the
case, has added to the glory of whom he would spite; and his act,
now beyond recall, will live always to plague him while alive and
as a stain to his name afterward.
A people that can increase their Christmas gifts from 15 to
35 jaer cent in one year cannot be said not to be prosperous. That
is what the figures indicate that the American people have done
this year.
