BEATING THE TAMMANY DEVIL
AROUND THE STUMP.

No sooner had Governor Odell sign
ed the s~ingle-headed police commits
sion bill, passed by the New York leg
islature to regulate police affairs and
get rid of the obnoxious Chief Dew
cry in Greater New York, than Mayor
Van Wyck, under the new measure,
appointed Michael C. Murphy commits
sioner, while Michael c. Murphy in
urn appointed the same William S.
Devery as his first deputy commits
sioner. Thus does the old status in
the New York police department, with
Deyery still we'll UP head, remain prac-
tically unchanged.
Governor Odell, of course, is fight
ing mad, but what Is he going to do
about it? Under the new law, he has
the right of removal, and Mayor Van
Wyck the right of appointment and
there is no danger of the latter Off
cial running out of material of the
Devery order for appointment, let the
Governor WELD his axe as he may.
Now the Governor is said to be
contemplating the removal Of Mayor
Van Wyck, orsthe immediate passage
of the State co%nstabulary bill, which
would place the policing of New York
city directly under the control of the
Republican State administration.
1t is an unfortunate situation for
Greater New York. That Boss Platt,
whose machine in the State is even
more corrupt than that of Tammany
in the city, would be any improvement
i've Boss Croker, is altogether unlike
ly, judging from the record of Platt
rule, while in the meantime the city
is deprived of a large Measure of home
rule.
The primary responsibility, however,
rests with the people of Greater New
York, who have shown their inabil-
ity to purify the community of its rot
tenness-an intolerable condition
which has naturally resulted in this
invocation of the assistance of the
State to deal with the emergency.
1t is a deplorable situation, and not
the least unfortunate feature is that
it probably means the total disruption
of the magnificent organization of the
Tammany Democracy and the substi-
tuition therefor of the corrupt, but po-
tent, Plat machine, which then will
dominate the city as well as the State.
In this event. the whole country will
be the sufferer, since it will probably
mean the loss forever of New York as
a Democratic State in national cleo
tons.

An effort was made TO drown the flames

traditions of its party. Every steal thai

quickly passed. 1t caressed corruption
like a crazy person hugs delusion. That

ADJUSTMENTS A

The title of the polite comedy Too Rich To Marry is derived from the fact that the hero of the story is in love with a young Dunkard girl. The sect of Dunkards are averGe to great wealth. and as the young man is to inherit q great fortune. he does not find favor in the eyes or the Dunkard mother.
 He is bright and handsome and in every way a desirable match for the girl. except-a strange exception in these days-that he is too rich. This objection. on the part of the Dunkard mother. develops q series of compli- cations, exquisitely amusing in the comedy, which shows how a young man of brains can marry the girl he loves in spite of the fact that he Is a millionaire.
 The comedy is interesting and in structive as showing the development of American manners and customs. The author has seized the spirit of the present time in the development of an Overwhelmingly funny plot from ex- clusively American characters and scenes. In doing. he has produced work that will live and take rank with the best efforts of the worlds greatest writers.
 The picture comedy will be seen at the Doris opera house January ist.
 The Cowboy and The Lady" will be presented at the Doris theater. Dec. 90. by s. Miller Kent and an excep- tional clever company. will be mounted in a sumptuous and metropolitan man ner. Forty persons figure in the cast. and two carloads of handsome scenery are carried for the production. The costumes are said to be very effective. and the whole production equal in every way to the original one at the Knickerboclxer theater in New York.
