Mitchell, Malone and Tammany.

The appointment of Dudley Field Ma
lone 10 the dictatorship of the port of
New York is construed in some quarters
as another evidence OF the President s
purpose respecting Tammany-Tammany
must be destroyed.
Ii is believable that Mr.. Wilson would
welcome such q contamination and viii
contribute at any time anything IN his
John Purroy Mitchell as collector had
that object in view. and now Mr.. Malone
is charged with the same duty.
They are young men. and in way
capable But they are youngish for their
places, and. therefore, may not be able
TO meet the full expectations of thei:.
friends. Both the mayoraity of New
York city and the colectorship of The
port are large orders. requiring in the
incumbents much hard work and great
discretion.
Now, II in addition 10 their official
duties they are to undertake duties as
lieutenants for putting and keeping New
York in trim for Mr.. Wilson in the cleo
ton of democrats to Congress next year
and q democrat to succeed Gov. Glynn,
they are going to have their hands fun.
The task would be heavy for veterans.
And then, both Mr.. Mitchell and Mr..
Malone are ambitious. and want to GO
higher in politics They are well started
toward the top. The United States Sen
ate is a lure. and the Peoples House at
Albany another. Has Mr.. Mitchell in the
past six months ever considered the ap-
prcaches to tho former? And may not
