HIGH-GRADE SNOBBERY.
King .George of England will be
crowned in June: and in anticipation j
o" the event there is ostentatious ex
citement, not only among the Eng
1 sh nobility, but among the American
mobility as well. On the scores of
patriotism, loyalty, the prestige of
pneient lineage, and all that sort of
thing, the English man and English
woman of consequence expect to I
thine socially at the coronation. With j
th. m the function will be one of re
fulgent honor, of laces and silks, and
jewels and satins, and purple and
fine linen, not altogether without
excuse. The American aristrocracy
expects to ? e in evidence by virtue |
of the "long green."
I: is a higa-class society story that I
we get in installments from across*]
th-- water. From it we learn that
American millionaires and their wives |
and daughters and proteges are anx
ious to sit in that coronation game j
and play it 'o the limit. In poker |
parlance, they propose to raise be
f?.rt the draw. They want to be
quartered in fashionable establish
ments for 'he great event, and for
tunes are offered for the rental of
such quarters. The bids are running
5 ; 0,000 a we?k and up for the more
t'.tsirable kxa'ions. American vanity
backed by American mo rev is en
gineering a bull movement in tem
porary rentals along Piccadilly and |
Rotten Row. Improvident English |
totality may profit by the venture
as it sees fit.
There is a roystering song which |
concludes wi'.h the line: "It's no
boJy's business but my own." Possi
bly that sentiment could be quoted
against the person who dared to say
tnat this American ostentation anent |
the coronation festivities was snob
Vty; but tha' is just what it
wl en reduced to last analysis, and as
tiie average tun of American people
will view it. It is simply a vulgar
desire on the part of the American
multi-millionaire to let the world
kDcw that he has "'dead oodles" of
money; and that when i' comes to
tue peacock act of spreading fine
f- a: hers, he can outspend and out
spread the rest of the world, and
he proposes to do both. Sober-mind
ed Americans are not proud of the
c'ass; and their hope is that the
wr rid at large will not consider it
representative. ? Portland Telegram.
A TASK THAT WILL EXPAND.
Win Congress, duriug the extra
s< ssion, confine its attention to the
ft uadian reciprocity bill or will it
attempt also to change some of the
schedules in th. Payne- Aldrich tariff
t 11? Doubtless there are Democratic
members of the new House who arc
impatient to give immediate proof to
ttiir constituents of their zeal for
revision. It remains to be seen
wLether there is enough of cautious
ntss and conservatism in the House
to hold them in check.
I is not likely that Congress will
be imprudent enough to take up de
liberately the entire subject of the
?ariff this summer. If it essays any
thing beyond the passage of the reci
procity bill it will probably be the
amendment; of one or two of the ..ar
l'f schedules. And there is none it
Is more likely to select than the
wcolen schedule, which everybody,
i side from the men it benefits and
t'ifcir friends, acknowledges to be un
just to the consumers. Yet if the
wcolen schedule is changed, the cot
ton and some other schedules must
be changed also. Involved in them
to an equal extent, and in fact af
fecting practically the entire act. are
lie questions of drawbacks, maximum
minimum provisions, and compound
duties, specific and ad valorem.
It must be borne in mind also that
the present tariff law is obscure, com
plex and involved to such an extent
that In many instances it is difficult
to ascertain the amount of bounty
"? confers on its beneficiaries. Per
haps that was one of its purposes.
The deduction is logical that if
\CANDY^p\
r r e s he st ?
| and Sweetest in the Candy Line 5
i Just Received at BRITT'S
even any of the schedules which most
need reduction is taken up this sum
mer for revision. Congress will al
uncst inevitably be drawn Into the
cr nsideration of practically the whole
tariff subject. And it is not In a
position yet 'o da that.
Its more careful and far-seeing
leaders will undoubtedly recommend
that the tariff be left until next win
ter in the hands of the committee on
ways and means. It goes without
saying that the business interests of
th country hope this counsel will
be given and followed. ? Ex.
Boat Owners
Take Notice
Collector of Customs Willis has re
quested the Alaskan to print another
warning -to gas boat owners to com
ply with the new regulations, many
carelessly ignoring the rules, caus
ing no end of trouble and possible
heavy fines. Of the 70 gas boat own
irs reported to the federal author
'?'es for violation of the new regu
lations. a larger portion were guilty
of not complying with section 6 and
7, which provide for fire-extinguish
ing appartus and life preservers on
al boats, whether they are for hire
or pleasure. Under the old law the
regulations applied to boats which
c-airied passengers only, but under
the new law all boats are subject to
the regulations.
For the benefit of those interested
the- Alaskan again prints the partic
jiar sections which are being violat
ed:
Life-Preservers, Etc.
Samples of devices, as substitutes
for life-preservers, belts, buoyant
! cushions, or ring buoys, to be pre
scribed by the secretary of commerce
and labor, must first be submitted
to the nearest board of local inspect
ors for transmission to the supervis
ing inspector general, steamboat-in
spection service, for examination and
approval.
Fire-Extinguishing Apparatus.
So specific means of promptly and
: ffectually extinguishing burning gas
oi^ne are prescribed. Besides the
usual fire extinguishers, suitable chein
icpls, or bags o* coarse flour or sand,
will serve tha purpose. All motor
boats, irrespective of length, must
oe so equipped.
