TO SUCCEED Mr.. WHITMAN
Mr.. Moss Should Be Promoted as
Reward for Faithful Service.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Why is il that at this time, so
close to the date when all nominations
for public office must be openly declared,
the fusion committee and others, who will
nominate men for public office, have not
mentioned candidates for any office eX-
cept for Mayor? There are other offices
Of great importance 10 be filed in the
city Of New York. and certainly these
committees should not wait until the last
moment to select men for them.
The Office OF District Attorney has been
ably filled during the last four years, and
II is Of the utmost importance 20 the peo-
sle Of the County of New York that this
important Office be filled by man who
is by training and experience able TO dis
charge the duties of that office.
Frank Moss is PROFESSIONALLY the man
TO step into Whitman's shoes. lie has
been associated with the affairs of this
city since his youth, and is qualified more
than any other man to I'll this very i'm
portant office. For many years he has
been an efficient and faithful prosecutor
Of rhe corrupters of public and private
morals. and the citizens Of New York
owe him n debt OF gratitude for his great
work. Tho cry should be, Promote Frank

Of conversation.

than ours" said one of the hosts. You
have been brewing beer in your city for
centuries
NO" said German officer. only
little more than half a century"
In relating the story the New Yorker
said: II did not wish 10 contradict. but
let # 20 at that, and soon other matters
were spoken Of l had a reminder OF
the conversation to-day, however, when
received a letter from Berlin inclosing
a picture Of brewery. The letter states
that It IS a reminder Of the conversation
Of thirteen years ago and that the brew
cry is Berlin's oldest. II stands. says
the writer. in the famous Tempelhofer

Here in vulgar New York policeman has To put

enect that other folks get-and is expected to scrape
along quite as if he were of the same clay as the
rest Of us.
In Paterson the standard Is far. far higher as

makes clear That outspoken anarchist actually cX-
claimed at Socialist street meeting: Fleet so
ciast Mayor and then you wont have cops like
BUNNY Ryan beating you over the head with a

corder Carroll promptly sentenced Mr. Quinlan to
one year in the county Jail as ''dsordery person
II is pleasant TO know that such high standard
Of order and decorum prevails in Paterson on the
part of all concerned.
