Tammany has not been since the days Of
Tweed in so bad plight as 1t is at the
present time. The revelations of the
horrible vice conditions in the tenement
regions, the evidence that has been pro-
duced Of police blackmail and police pro-
lection of gambling establishments. and
places OF ill-fame the palpable corrup-
ton of scores and hundreds of its fore
most leaders, have sckened the commu-
nifty, and made it eager TO uproot the vile
system that has brought obloquy upon the
hrst OF American cities. New York is
the most splendid field for political plum
der in the world. and II is being plumber
ed by the bandits of politics. These
bandits are not all Democrats. There Is
good sprinkling of Republicans among
them, who will secretly work to perpet-
uate existing conditions. This is what
makes reform probematical.
The various organizations that are being
arTayed against Tammany contain many
sincere and earnest men, but pitted
against them, on the other side, are the
shrewdest and most daring political ms
nipulators in the world. To fool and rob
the people has been the business OF their

DISCUSSED CIVIL SERVICE.
Being Strictly Complied with, Say
Cabinet Officers, But Has De-
fective Points.

Washington, April 5.-The major por-
ton of the time at the cabinet meeting
to-day was consumed in discussion of
the civil service law
The Secretary of the Treasury said that
the law gave satisfaction in his depart
ment and that it was being strictly com
piled with, although some difficulty was
experienced on account of the fact that
under the law officers selected for one
person could not perform the duties of
another person. The trouble in the agri-
cultural department is that there are no
elgibles for technical work on the COM
missions lists.
In the War Department Secretary Root
reported that 1t was the intention to
place semi-skilled laborers at arsenals
and in the engineer departments under a
registration system similar to that now
in vogue in the navy yards. In the other
departments various suggestions were
made looking to the better enforcement
of the spirit and letter of the law and
each cabinet officer will be expected to
see that the law is not abused in his de-
partment. No new regulations or orders
by the commission are expected.

GOVERNOR BENJAMIN
B. 0DELL, JR.
New YorIx's Chief Executive a Po-
tent Force in National Repub-
Iican Politics.

Copyright, 1901. .Cosmographic Coz
Albany, April Elm the ninety days
since his Inauguration as Governor of the
Empire State, Benjamin B. Odell. Jr,, has
done two things of commanding signih.
canoe, and national Importance, from a
Republican political point of view. These
are, first. that he means to be Governor
in every sense of the word; and, second
that without disrupting his party he will
the confidence of a large body of citizens
who voted against him last November.
The meaning of it all is that Governor
Odell appreciates the fact that the best
way to serve his party is to safeguard
the interests of the whole people. AS a
result of the independence and strength
of character which he has exhibited he is
to-day infinitely stronger than when he
was elected, and this strength his friends
believe will grow as his administration
is developed and rounded out Already
they begin to talk of him as the most
probable leader of the Republican party
in the Presidential contest of 1904, and
there can be no question that he will be
the first choice of the Empire State for
the nomination. 1t is true that before
that supreme trial of his political strength
comes he will have to seek a reelection
as Governor, but no apprehensions are
entertained on that score by his devoted
following, who have the machinery of the
party under complete control.
All the talk of a rupture between Sena-
tor Plat and Governor Odell is mere
newspaper sensationalism. They have DIFF
fered as all the world knows, on one
measure, but the conflict of opinion has
left no wounds behind It, l have the as
surance of the Governors closest friends
and supporters for this statement. AS to
the Governor himself he processes the
highest regard for Senator Platt, and
while he declines to be interviewed on The
subject. he ridicules the idea that any
Int the most cordial relations subsist be-
tween them. Governor Odell has an
enormous capacity for work. He is at
his desk in his Offices at the capitol
promptly at Q o'clock every morning and
with barely an hours intermission for
luncheon, labors necessarily until long af-
ter 6 o'clock in the evening. No one that
calls to see him on any business is de-
MED a hearing. The large reception room
is thronged in the early morning hours
committees, politicians, office
seekers and visitors from all over the
state and other states that call out Of
mere curiosity or to pay their respects.
All have to take their turn. There Is
no fuss, no pretension, no nonsense. In
fact. Governor Odell is democratic
through and through, and as unpreten-
tious as he was thirty years ago, when
as a youth, he served his fathers ice
customers In his native town.
His manner is frank. and he impresses
all who come in contact with him with
his transparent sincerity. His answers
to questions that he cares to answer are
clear and pointed; but as rule he is re-
ttcent and reserved He can make
capital off-hand speech. and leaves no
one in doubt as to his position on sub
jects of a public nature to which he has

TAKEN TO ELLIS ISLAND.
Green Inspector Arrests PhiIadel-
phia Merchant Because He Was
Minus an Arm.

New York, April 5.-Albert Priestman
or Philadelphia, who arrived here as
cabin passenger on the White Star steam
ship Germanic. was taken to Ellis Island
to-day by the Immibration Society. AL
though Mr.. Priestman is a merchant in
the Quaker City and has lived there with
his family twelve years, he will be re-
quired to explain to the board of special
inquiry why he is not likely to become
a public charge. This is because Mr.
Priestman has lost his left arm. He
was held under a section of the immi-
grafton law which authorizes the deten-
ton of passengers physically incapaci-
tated from manual labor and likely to
become public charges. Mr. Freshman
though a resident of this coun-
try for twelve years had never
renounced his allegiance to Great
Britain, and for that reason was an alien
and subject TO the immigration laws
Mr.. Priestman was examined at Ellis
Island, and was ordered released. Deputy
Commissioner of immigration McSweeney,
in speaking of the incident, said that the
immigration officer who boarded the Ger
manic was new man, and that if ne had
better understood the routine of the bu-
reau, he would have released Mr., Priest
man.

New York. April 5.-The Interstate

son c. Clements OF Georgia, Charles A.
Prouty OF Vermont, James d. Yeoman OF
Iowa; ex-Gov. Joseph w. Fifer of Him
DIS and ex-Judge Martin A Knapp Of
New York, chairman, is in session in this
city to-day.
The commission is sitting to hear the
protests of New York lumber dealers,
who obtain their lumber from West Vir-
ginia and Ohio, against what they deem
the discriminating freight rates of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad. These
rates, 1t is claimed are much in excess
of those charged by other lines that have
a less direct route from the shipping
points.
Robert w. Higbie, a lumber dealer of,
this city, told the commission that the
Norfolk and Western road charged from
to cents more per thousand feet on
shipments of oak and poplar lumber than
did the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western lines. Twice during
the last two years the Norfolk and West
ern has raised its rate, making an in
crease in July, 1899, of one cent, and
further increase six months later of half
a cent.
