CLEAN GOVERNMENT, PURE < AMEatCAN1SM

Conditions have gotten to & pcint as the result of the recent primary in New York city where it Is realized by the republicans that the continua- tion of the good government and the upholding of patriotism in that city depends upon the support which Is given to the fusion candidate by the republicans. This is reflected in the action which has been taken by the republican county committee fin en- dorsing Mayor Mitchell for the coming city election in spite of the fact thai the republican candidate w. M. Ben. nett was successful in the primary.
 The situation in New York is such that fusion must be supported or else Tammany will win. The city has had its experience with Tammany rull. It knows what it has received froM 1t and it understands what it can ex- pect in case it is again, victorious. With a four-cornered fight the chances of Tammany are greatly increased and the republicans are as conscious of this fact as anyone else. The mis- take was made of course in the fail ltre to get out the vote in the primary which would have endorsed Mitchell, but inasmuch as that cannot be 'uTi- done the next best thing is for the re- publicans as an organization ito come out in support of the candidate who not only can but should win because of the administration which he has given to the city and because of the desire for the coptinuance of clean government and pure Americanism.
 It will no: be possible to have Can didate Bennett's name taken off the ticket at this time, but with the party endorsement for MitcheI and the party working fer his reelection in accord ance with the demand of the voters the party strength is going to be thrown to 'the man who can win and away froim the one who cannot. It rests to 8 large extent with the re- publicans what the character of the next city administration is

necessary to influence the French
 people w&s to have certain number of the journals of that country put forth such ideas and keep persistently at it. The impression was apparent ly carried that France would be sus- ceptibie to such subtle methods. It didn't place very high standard up- on French patriotism but that may have been due to the conceit which inspired the plan.
 1t is. however, only one more reve- latien in connection with the intrigue that Germany has been resorting to for the purpose of getting the upper hand in some manner. And it shows how, perfectly willing the schemers were to taise, aAvantaEe4ef neutral na- tioHs in carrying out their schemes. This country delayed plenty long its determination to rid this nation of the guiding influence in connection with such corruption. but it has now through the service which 1t has rem dered in connection with the Bolo Pasha case turned it to good advan- tage in helping out an ally. Germany can scheme, but that does not mean that it can do so indefinitely and car ry such plans through to success with cut being found out or without being checked

ENCOURAGING SHEEP RAISING.

Gradually it iS being recognized
 throughout the eastern states that There is an admirable opportunity here tor the revival of sheep raising and That these states should do their part towards contributing the additional Amount of wool and providing the i'm crease in the mutton that is so much needed by this country.
 Wherever such Q thing as the revi- val Of the sheep raising industry is urged, it is sure to be met with the claim by those who would be expected toengage therein that it is impossible because of the dogs which roam about the eeuntry worrying and killing the Sheep That dogs are a real handicap cannot be~denied especially when the many instances where f1ocks have been seriously depleted by just such attacks. It is therefore evident that if sheep are going to be raised that the sheeP-kiiiirg dogs must be dis posed of With such an end in view the New York state legislature. has passed law to the effect that the owner of a dog which chases. injures or kills domestic animals or fowls must reimburse the owner Of such animals or fowls and that where such damage amounts to five dollars or more an additional liquidating charge Of ten dollars shall be added In ad- dition any person is given the right -te.. kill dog while it is attacking or chasing domestic animals. or fowls
 This is a step in the right direc- tion, but there are some who think that much confusion is likely to be caused by the law :nasmuch as play full dogs are likely to be killed when they have no intention of killing the domestic animals or fowls That. however, only calls for the owner of the dog to assume his proper respcn- sibility and keep it in proper con- trol. Sheep raisers cannot be ex- pected to suffer losses because dogs are. allowed to roam at large and chase animals even though they do not bite The thing to do is to keep the dogs in their place

THE BRITISH OFFENSIVE.

With cn1y a week elapsing since the last advance of Field Marshal Haig's forces in Flanders. this weeks offen- sive has been carried cut with the same determination and s1ccessfur re- suits as have the previous ones. The British are pushing ahead a mile or more at a time, in section of the the German line in fhe west.
 Just at present General Haig is heading for the. railroad line which supplies his submarine bases on the coast and which unites his forces in the west. Once that can be secured an important advantage will be gain ed and from all indications satisfac- tory progress is being made to that end.
 It is not to be supposed. however, that this is being accom- plished with the Germans. They are bringing into play every agency which is possible for them to employ to prevent the accomplishment of this purpose. They are throwing many new divisions into the fight and they are making coun ter attacks dhd sacrificing a. great number of lives in an endeavor to stem stfe tide. But regardless of the desperate character of the defense it is not sufficient. to hold back the Brit ish. Not only are they going ahead but they are securing heights of great value, guns in large numbers and talk ing thousands of prisoners to say nothing of the casualties which are being inflicted upon the enemy. From the way in which the German soldiers are surrendering some idea can be gained of the morale of the kaiser's troops.
 The British are not making their gains without losses but it is realised that this is the time for taking ad- vantage of conditions and the idea unquestionably is to gain the desired objectives this fall or before the wea- ther interferes with operations.

AMERICAN ABILITY

Deep satisfaction cannot fail to re-
 suit from the statement which has
 been given out in Washington to the
 effect that the navy department is as-
 sured of a much quicker delivery of
 the fleet of destroyers than it was fig
 ured at the time of the last estimated
 From the arrangements which have
 been made and from the manner in
 which the work is being pushed along this country is destined to lead the
 world in destrcyers at the end of the
 next Is months. In view of the lack
 of preparation in this respect and the great need which exists for these yes. sels this is a most gratifying show ing. This country has not only rec ognized it's task but it has settled
 down to it in aa characteristic man ner and when it is realized that this means the clipping off of ten months of the time estimated in the beginning to finish this wcrF it shows what the United States can do when pushed to it's capacity9> s S But the looping off of nearly a year in the time first set will give us the destroyers not one bit earlier than we want them. It would be much better if they were available today and the si1ipyards where they are be- Ing constructed could be engaged in other operations. It is evident how ever that there is a full realization of the necessity of providing adequately Tor our defense and for our national Safety This is one way in which we are demonstrating our ability to meet a- grave emergency. and it is to be expected that it will be shown in other directions as we'll and as effectively. The United States has been put to a test as never before and it is meas- turing up to it in a most gratifying manner. -..
