The Outdoor Peddler Should Go.

The outdoor peddler comes ringing
our door-bells and poking his head in
through the vestibules, refusing to be
dismissed peremptorily, whereas he
ought to be arrested for ringing the
door-bell at all. There ought to be
some more legal way to stop the street
peddler's career. Of course any sort
of honest occupation is better than beg
ging, but the outdoor agent invades
rights that makes il questionable
whether his vocation is honest or hon
orable.
A mans house is his castle and
really no human being has a right at
his door.bell except on some Legitimate
errand, recognized as proper by the oc-
cupant of the house approached. Be-
sides, door. bells cost money, and the
peddler has no earthly right to hasten
the wear and tear of the door-bell.
Housekeepers that are worthy the name
take some pride in keeping their door
steps clean and go to considerable ex
pense to keep them clean. But the i'm
pudent peddler soils the steps as wei
as wears out the door-bell is offensiv,
if ordered away thinks this is fre'
country, and persists in his invasion o.
all the principles ot right and all thu
sacredness of ones own home.
1t is 10 excuse that the peddler ha
vegetables, or subscription books o
tooth picks cheaper than they can b.
bought at the stores. If cheaper the,
are apt to be inferior and in many cas-
es deceptive and unfit to use. AN
cheap or dear no mere trifling advan
tage of this sort can compensate 70
the perpetual annoyance aud wrong o
the street peddlers profession. 1t seem
that there ought TO be an ordinanc
against The outdoor pedd er, and tina
the Ieisurrly, do-uothing policeme
could not be better employed than !
protecting the homes Of the peopl
against this impertinent invasion.-

The DO rd Of Public Works and the
Oyster Law.

At the meeting of the Board of
Public Works, which will be held
here TO morrow, some important mat
ters will be brought before it to solve.
Among other matters, certain sections
of the new oyster law, about which
their has been much discussion bv
interested parties, will be submitted
to the Acknowledgement for his con-
struction. There has been good
deal Of complaint lately about the
carrying clause in the new oyster law
and the solution of this question, in
view of the recent arrests made bv
the force, will be of interest. 1t is
understood some of the board coin
eide with the view that the carrying
of oysters in small boats outside of
the county in which they operate is
permissible under the law This view
is also expressed by State officials
here, and also by lawyers generally,
and it is understood the board, which
is virtually the head of the oyster
navy, will direct the police authorities
not to enforce this section Of the law
until the complications that now sur
round it have been removed by legal
test The Attorney General will
also be instructed to protect the
States interest in the proposed sale
of the Annapolis and Elkridge Rail-
road, advertised to take place next
month. Two deputy commanders of
the State fishery force will also be
selected. A full board will discuss
these measures.

Job I,rIntTng,

There is no better prophet than the
printer who is able to tell when bust
ness 10 a city is bristling up. This
knowledge he arrives at by the
amount of job work that he is called
upon to do. We can safely say,
therefore, that the fall business in An
napolis is beginning to loom up, and
this is based upon the fact that THE
CAPITAL Office has been kept busy for
the past week or more in getting out
the large amount Of job work for our
patrons We have been fattered
with the information that the THE
CAPITAL Office turns out the neatest
and most artistic job work of any
printing Office in annapolis.

pies are the largest, smothest and best
favored fruit we have seen for many
years. Mr.. Duvall is an fat on fruit

Fighting for Commanders In the Oyster
Navy.

Navy
There is considerable interest being
manifested by the several aspirants
and their friends for the positions Of
the commanders of the new oyster
steamers and vessels soon TO be added
to the oyster navy. Mr.. G. A. Penn
broke, who was first mate of the po-
lice steamer Leila, recently sold. was
here yesterday looking after his
chances as commander of one of the
two steamers being built in Philadel-
phia for the State Fishery Force
1t is expected that Mr.. Hedge
Thompson, of Talbot county, who
formerly commanded the Leila will
be appoined to one of the new steam
ers. Mr.. Pembroke, who is from st.
MarY's county, viii oppose Capt. f.
L. Griffith, Of this county, for the re-
naming boat, and will present
lengthy petition to the Board OF Pub
lie Works, from his county urging
his appointment to the place. One
OF the reasons urged in behalf Of Mr..
Pembroke's appointment is, that st.
Mary's, with water territory equal
ly as large as Anne Arundel. is with
out a vessel to protect her local oys-
ter beds, whilst the latter county has
two sailing vessels and the services
of a steamer at times. The two
schooners just completed by Brusstar
Bros, of Baltimore, will be formally
turned over to the State tomorrow,
They will be placed in the third and
sixth districts as contemplated by the
oyster law There are already two
vessels in the third district, which
embraces the waters of Talbot and
Dorchester counties, and one in the
sixth, the Mamie Merryman, which
will probably be transferred to the
lower section Of the county. There
are number of applicants from
which to select the two deputy COM
manders, who, it is expected, will be
appointed tomorrow.
