The national appointing power has
made one more concession to the mug
wumps In awarding to one of the editors
OF The New York Times the consul
generalship TO Rome. But The Times,
with big hearted disinterestedness, will
not look upon it as reward It saws:
"As 1t is not unlikely that some Of our
esteemed contemporaries with whom we
were unable to agree about a certain
matter last year will construe this ap-
pointment as an official recognition of
the services OF this newspaper in making
dr. Cleveland president, we wish to say
that ne one connected with The Times
has urged, requested or recommended
Mr.. Alden's appointment; and The Times
| is unable to consider it as a reward. 1t
looks upon it rather in the light of an
attiiction." The Times, notwithstanding
Its magnanimity, vouches for the fitness
and qualifications of the appointee in
most positive terms
