The new personnel law Of the navy
contains some novel features. For
instance, all Of the line officers who
are detailed to bureaus of the Navy
Department as bureau chiefs are
given the ranking grade Of rear ad-
mirals. Another provision is that at
least forty vacancies must be made
every year in the grade Of captain
(the number Of such vacancies from
deaths, retirements and designations
heretofore has ranged from twelve to
thirty a year,; and, in order that
such vacancies may be made, "se-
lecting-out'' process has been pro-
vided in order to force out enough to
make the required forty, but as a
measure of balm to their injured
spirits" they get the retiring rank
of rear admirals.

The law of prizes provides that the
sum OF 500 shall be allowed to the
victors for each person on the cap
tured or destroyed vessel or vessels
when the victors are the superior
force. That would give Admiral
Dewey's fleet about 100000 for the
destruction of the Spanish armada at
Cavite, Manila Bay, May 1, 1898. But
the law provides just two times as
much head money for the captors
when the captives are the superior
force. 1t is, therefore, more than
probable that Dewey's meu will be
allowed 5000 for each person on The
captured and destroyed Spanish
fleet, for it is estimated that while
our fleet proper was stronger than its
Spanish enemy on water, the rein
forcement given to the Spanish fleet
bv the shore batteries at Cavite rem
dered the opposing force the greater.
Dewey's officers and men have made
such claims, and the question is now
under consideration by the Judge
Advocate General of the Navy.

THIS is the initial number of THE

without trepidation, as the publish

years newspaper experience, and
are familiar in some degree with the

ompense of reward.

Recognizing the changing COM
mercial conditions, the price of sub

in connection with the paper, having

We are going to depend in a great
measure upon the people of the

and advertising. The paper will be
one of the permanent enterprises of
the county, and will do everything in
its power to further and foster local

HAS Got" Is Good English.

Another language saver has launch
ed mis- boat. lis has got good
English?" he writes; "should not
got be omitted?" For the three
hundred and thirty-third and last
time we say that ''has got" is sound,
correct English, good historically,
good in modern use, a perfectly
healthy idiom. Anybody who has
scruples about the "got" can cut it
out. Anybody who has a taste for
prunes, potatoes, prisms can learn
to break himself of saying has
got" if he perseveFes. We seek to
put no constraint upon tender con
sciences. But abstainers from "has
got" should be warned against being
puffed up. Fresh English is always
good, but persons who like it canned
are welcome to take it that way.
They mustn't put on airs, though.

A Lesson TO Trusts.

The news was announced Monday
that the Union Tobacco Company
has obtained control of the big plant
of Liggett x Myers in st. Louis.
This means that the Union is to be-
come formidable competitor of the
Continental Tobacco Company un-
less, indeed, it is an agent and ac-
complice of the trust. As the price
both of Continental shares and those
of the American Tobacco Company
had a heavy fall upon the announce
ment, the supposition that the Union
is an ally is hardly credible.
\ circumstance that goes far to con
firm the story that the Union Com
pany has already absorbed the pow
crful st. Louis establishment is that
last week the Union increased its
capitalization to S24, 900, 900. 1t
began with but $40, 900, 900 and cX-
panded to SI2, 900, 900, then to $40,
$50, 600, and now has more than
doubled what it had at the start.
The Continental Tobacco Company,
organized with eight factories, has
since acquired a number Of other
concerns. 1t seems TO be engaged
in race to distance any possible
competitor. However, if it has fail
ed to get control of the St. Louis
factory, as now appears, it has lost
a big point in. the game with its
younger antagonist.
The report is very interesting, for
it shows how impossible it is for even
the biggest trust TO get rid of com
petition unless it can aquire control
of the raw material as the Standard
Oil Company has been able to do.
The same reasons which led to the
formation of the Continental inspired
the promoters of the Union. The
profits of the plug trade are enor-
nous and it is impossible to keep
capital from seeking such promis-
ing field. This is one of the natur-
al laws of trade, and is not to be ig-
nored by even the most power
full combin ations. The Interation-
al Paper Company is already faced
with the construction of immense
new mills which in time may divide
its trade as thoroughly as the inde-
pendent refneries have encroached
on the business of the Sugar Trust.
The Federal Steel, the Rubber and
other trusts will eventually meet the
same fate.
