OUR esteemed Second Avenue contemporary says the petitions calling on Mayor Bell to make the race for Sheriff, without exception
 are said to be in the hands of men who were partisans of either Brew ster or Phillips, in the late Demo cratic primaries, and who seek this method of opposing the Democracy of the county as expressed at the ballot box and through the voice of the Central Committee. It may be true as against ''the voice of the Central Committee, butnot of the

ticket was in progress, the Press Eagle strenuously opposed the de- parture from the old compromise system, and denounced the move ment as one being made in the in- terest of Triplett and Mccoy, old office holders under the compromise regime. So steadfast was it in it's convictions that the present Mc- Coy organ carried its opposition to the straight ticket movement even after the conven tion and the nomi- nation of the straight ticket2 and throughout the campaign and up to the very day of the election, the aforesaid newspaper championed the cause of the Jones faction of Re- publicans and supported their nom- inees for sheriff and circuit clerk. In view of these performances, which are of recent political history the Press Eagles acrobatic flop is 8 subject of uneceasing surprise and amazement. If our contemporary gets too gay and enthusiastic in it's espousal of MeCoy's alleged nomination, the GRAPHIC may be put to the trouble of reproducing some of these lurid but refreshing editorials from the Press Eagle of former dates.

TnE fact that petitions are being circulated and receiving numerous signatures calling on Mayor Bell to become an independent candidate for sheriff has apparently thrown the Mccoy forces into panic, judging from the political "duck- fits" the two Mccoy organs are having.

 Possess your soul in patience, broth CTS, opportunities for showing the kind of stuff our southern boys and officers are made of will not be lacking. True they may not be called upon to storm the frowning ramparts of Havana or ether Span ish stronghold, or even see a Spanish soldier. Still, in the task the United States has before it, after the surrender of all the is lands, there will be need for just as good generalship and just as much bravery as were shown around Santiago. Much the more difficult work is yet to be done and the President knows where to look for the men and officers to do it when they are needed. They have neither been shelved nor forgotton.

AN ADVERTISING LAW.

BY the signature OF the Cover
nor of New York a law has gone
on the statute book of that state
making it misdemeanor for any
firm, person or partnership of per-
sons, either in the newspapers or
other periodicals of the State, or
in public advertisements, or in
communications intended for a
large number of persons to know
ingly make or disseminate any
statements or assertions of facts
with respect to his, her or their
business affairs, especially con-
corning the quantity, the quality,
the value, the price, the method OF
production or manufacture or the
fixing of the price of his, her or
their merchandise or professional
work or the manner or source OF
purchase of such merchandise
or the possession OF awards, dis
tinctions or the motive or pur-
pose OF a sale, intended to have
the appearances of a particularly
advantageous offer, which are un-
true or calculated to mislead."
This law seems to be aimed at
very large target and the results,
if there are any, of its operations,
will be awaited with interest.
In business, honesty is so often
demonstrated to be the best policy
that we think it is very rare that
business houses advertise sup
posedly advantageous offerings
with the intent to deceive, though
the enthusiastic exploitation oi
wares sometimes seems to be un-
restrained. Business houses that
pursue a course calculated to
mislead (" their prospective Gus
toners do not live long, as ex-
perience has demonstrated. There
is, without doubt, something of
sentiment that there is lot oi
humbug about |" bargain sales,
for instance, but we doubt if there
can be found evidence to support
such an opinion while the fact
that the bargain " manifestation
repeatedly finds favor with the
people is a sufficient demonstra-
ton that they are square and
honest as a rule.

On the contrary, IL Is very uneven, and pre-

reach, a submarine meadow covered with
long grasses, all bent over in the direction in
which the current is running. Here AMI there
deep ravines cut mp the green surface. while
farther away are noticed steep masses OF rock
formed by fallen blocks or stony precipices
Every boulder is covered with its dress OF
seaweed, and in the crevices between swarm
q whole fauna of invertebrates.

THE MERCHANT MARINE.

The discussion of the tonnage
tax in the war revenue bill, which
would be chiefly collected from
British shipping and would, ac-
cordingly, seem to be a sort OF
slap at a nation that has shown
marked friendliness 10 us at this
time, has served to reopen the eyes
of the people to the poverty of our
own merchant marine.
While the United States navy
has made such gallant display of
the flag in distant seas, to pro-
foundly impress the world with
our power on the water, it is a first
rate time to take steps to re-estab-
lish our merchant marine, too, and
to show our flag at the mastheads
OF the. ships of peace.
The withdrawal of 100, 900 tons
of merchant shipping and their
conversion to the use of the gov
ernment leaves a wide gap in our
modest fleets, the filling Of which,
upon the ending of hostilities, will
doubtless create a considerable
shipbuilding boom. The govern
ment is going to spend millions for
warships during the next decade,
and side by side with this enter
prise should go the upbuilding of
the American merchant marine.
