THE WORK COLLECTOR MAGONE HAS ON HAND. A government official whose position enables him to speak with knowledge as to the New York custom house, and the same who, on Monday, stated that a non-resident of the city would be appointed collector, said to a reporter to-day: “Mr. Magone will, unless I am much mistaken, very radically change the methods that have obtained in the custom house, and he will greatly improve the morale of the ser- vice. ‘The truth 1s that the service has been for a long time made subservient to local politics, A:service that belongs to the whole people of. the United States has been made an adjunct of ward bosses. “Men have been pluced over others, not for their character and capacity, but because they were bullies and could drive their subordinates to do dirty political work, It really got so that it took about one-half the foree to, watch the other. Men were contina: ally ing behind casks, crates ant ages Spying upon others. ‘The political bosses thinks they own the federal service, and that it must do their bidding. Collector Magone will uproot that system and establish the service upon @ business basis. He goes iu without obligations to anybody, and is absolutely free from any entanglements with local politics, The pur- is to separate the federal service of New ork elty, from city politics, and there will probably bee good. deal of cleaning out, If Necessary, to accomplish that.” ‘The appointment is spoken of in some quar- ters as having a, great deal of signiftcance in other respects. Magone, besides being a busi- ness_man, a believer in civil service and other relorms, is credited with being one of the best and shrewdest politicians in the state, and it is believed that his appointment may have some influence upon the nomination in 1888. At all events, it is said, the President in him has a friend instead ot an opponent in the office. . It is suggested that the President intends to gather around him such mem as were Tilden’s aids in the exposure of the rings. Minister Jackson Dissatisfied. A POSSIBILITY OF HIS RETIREMENT. While there is no truth in the reports that Mr. Jackson, United States minister to Mexico, has tendered his resignation, it is learned that the receipt of his resignation in the neartuture would not cause any surprise at the State de- Partment, It is learned also that his resigna- tion if tendered, will not be the result of the Present Mexican troubles.
