The general public can have but little
knowledge of the enormous amount of work
incident to making preparations for the in
auglration of President. Almost every
person i'll the country feels II his or her
duty to give advice. They know exactly
how the thing should be done. The people
(or I. large percentage OF theml seem irn-
pressed with the belief that since they have
aided in the election OF the man inaugu-
rated, they must not be ignored when il
comes to Offering suggestions, or how he
shall be indicted into office OF course,
the cost of maintaining the committees,
with their offices, clerk hire, postage, bills,
stationery, telegrains and many inciden-
tails, sums up into the thousands; but in
most cases a surplus has been realized from
the sale of tickets and for privileges at the
inaugural ball.
The members of the inaugural committee
have been compelled TO read hundreds,
If not thousands, of what may be termed
| "crank letters" It is true that often
times some So called crank advances good
ideas, but not so very often. They have
had letters from all over the country from
persons claiming prominence in their re-

how the inaugural ceremonies should be
carried out.

He NOW SEEKS PROMOTION
EDWIN WEBSTER WANTS TO BE \
NAVY PAYMASTER.
Has Bad Record as "a Naval Officer
His Dismissal Recommended Well
Known by Navy Officers in Port

The United States Navy Depart
ment is, according to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, just now Investigating
the records on file prior to forward
ing the necessary data to the presi-
dent in the matter of the promotion
of Assistant Paymaster Edwin b.
Webster to the rank of full paymaster
in the United States navy.
1t will he remembered that a little
over year ago Webster was tried
by court martial at the Mare Islaad
Navy Yard for conduct unbecomiug
an officer and a gentleman ON account
of his obtaining the sum of $500 from
Mrs. Tobin of Vallejo at the time
Webster appointed her son, William
j. Tobin, a pay clerk in the navy on
board the United States steamer
Yorktown.
The court martial recommended the
dismissal of Webster from the ser
vice, but Secretary of the Navy Her
bert allowed him to remain in the SER
vice provided he repaid Mrs. Tohn The
money which she loaned him. Mrs.
Tobin and her son. it seems. are both
dead. but the executors of the estate
and the surviving relatives lately cit
nothing undone to acquaint the Secre-
tary of the Navy with the present
status of the case.
Nearly year has elapsed since the
decision of Herbert was announced.
and Webster has failed to pay any Of
| the debt he owes. He has been act
| ing as paymaster of the Cri:rH States
steamer Castine. TO add - lis 'rou-
| bles his wife, who has been travelling
| in Europe for the past two wears, n
! few months ago commenced an ac-
| ton for divorce, alleging - the cause
"non-support."
The dismissal from the navy of
John COrwine at Newport for en-
! bezzlement last July made a vacancy
| in the paymaster list. which was fill
/ ed by the promotion of Wills i. vii
cox of the Monadnoclt. and thc retire
mcnt last month of Casper Schenck
left another vacancy. which vii! he
| filed by the promotion of Webster as
his immediate successor.
\ few days ago President Mckinley
dismissed a lieutenant from the army
on account of his fairIre to pay back
borrowed money. What win ne dane
in Webster's case is predetermined
but if he gets IA promotion with al
the disgraceful past banging over mis-
record it will surprise some of the
Presidents friends.

"Some criticism has been made on the
estimates of the ways and means com
mittee as to the revenue that would be
produced by the tariff bill as it passed
the House. These criticisms overlooked
| the fact that the ways and means COM
mittee estimates of the revenue that
might be expected the first year, were
| based on the assumption that the bill
would become law before May l. The
committee in their report expressly said
that while there could be no question
| that the House bill would in any event
Weld sufficient revenue to carry on the
government and leave a surplus the sec
ond year of its operation-which nobody
even now contradicts-and probably
sufficient for the first year if it could
be promptly put in force, yet if there
should be delay in it's enactment be-
yond May 1st, anticipatory importations
would inevitably cause serious inroads in
the prospective revenue for the first year.
Here is what the committee said on this
point:
What the actual revenue would
prove to be in the year following the en-
actment OF the proposed measure into
law is, of course, dependent upon contin-
gencles which cannot be forecasted with
any approach to certainty and will there
fore be subjected to varying estimates
Undoubtedly the contingency which
would exert the largest influence in di-
mlnlshing the estimated revenue would
be delay in the passage of the proposed
bill, in consequence OF which there would
be large importations of such articles as
wool, woolen goods sugar, etc., on which
it is proposed to increase the duty
IL the ways and means committee had
supposed when they made this statement
March 18th that the bill would be delayed
as long as now seems probable they
would have said that such delay would
inevitably result in largely multiplying
the revenue qualities OF the bill the
first year, through importations of wool,
sugar and other articles before the new
duties should go into force, unless such
a retroactive provision as was placed in
the bill by the House could be maintained.
The anticipatory importations of such
articles already arrived and on their
way, exceed the fears of the ways and
means committee when they urged
prompt action by the House to prevent
such a loss of revenue for the first year. -

JAPAN's GRATITUDE

Buckfield, May 11.-Through the agency
of Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the
navy, Mrs. H. A. Irish of Buckfield has
received a pair of Japanese cloissone
vases from the Emperor of Japan as
token of the esteem which that monarch
felt for her father, the late Luther w.
Mason Mr.. Mason performed so efficient
work in promoting musical education
in Japan that the emperor of that nation
recently sent to the japanese legation at
Washington a decoration of the fourth
class of the Order of the Sacred Treasure
for Luther Whiting Mason as recog-
nization of his valuable services. The
Japanese ambassador found that Mr..
Mason had died in Buckfeld last July
and returned the decoration to the en-
peror.
The emperor then sent a pair of Japa-
nese cloissone vases to Mrs Mason, his
wife, Sin testimonial of the high estima-
ton which we have had toward the de-
ceased professor.
When it was found that Mrs. Mason had
also passed away the vases were sent to
her daughters, Mrs II. A. Irish and Miss
Kate Mason, with regret that we could
not express our appreciation of the ser
vices of the professor and his beloved wife
during their life The correspondence
was carried on through the japanese am
bassador Toru Hoshi and Hon. John D.
Long, Secretary of the Navy.

The Conservatives overthrown.

Montreal, Que, May 1.-THE Quebec
provincial elections took place today and
resulted in the complete overthrow of the
Conservative party. In the last legisla-
ture the parties stood: Conservatives, so
Liberals, %; Conservative majority 27.
These figures have been reversed as re.
suit of today's election. The Liberals
have elected fifty members with proba-
bility of SO and the Conservatives about
30. Clerical influence played but small
part in the election. The victory of the
Liberals puts that party in control of the
provincial legislatures of all the great
provinces of the Dominion, as well as the
Dominion government itself.
Late advices from Gaspe county says
that the Conservative premier, Hon. E
J. Finn has been defeated by small
majority. Final returns show that the next
House will stand: Liberals, 3d. Conser-
vatives, 90 Hon. Mr.. Marchand will
be the next premier. Mr.. Marchand
