 A number of saloon licences have been issued in s. E. Alaska, based upon an agreement by the parties obtaining them that they will close their places of business from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. on Sundays. The agreement does not declare what a poor thirsty sinner IS to do for drink all that time.
 The semi-official announcement by the U. S. Government that the territory of Alaska will be held intact from threatened British encroachments, even if it takes guns to do it, seems to indicate the powers at Washington have finally taken tumble to the fact that every inch of Alaska is worth holding.
 "Where does Brady stand?" asks a contemporary in grandiloquent way. Never you mind about Brady. He lives at the town of Sitka, where he has home of his own, a saw mill and numerous other possessions. Brady's interest in Alaska is not packed in be- tween an old dirty shirt and pair of decayed socks in the corner of dress suit case. Brady may get wrong at times, but he's honest.

MALT AND CIDER VII EGAR.
The Latter Is Almost Unknown in
Great Britain, Though Apples
Are Plentiful.

The American consul in Manchester,
England, comments on the fact that
in Great Britain cider vinegar is almost
unheard of. The great reliance there is
malt vinegar, which is said to impart
firmness to the sour pickles made in
England, says the New York Tribune.
The consul could not say that cider
vinegar is not used in some sections Of
England, but he adds: Usually if you
mention cider vinegar to people they
express surprise that any one could use
it, and even the cidermaker who called
on me the other day said his firm did not
make cider vinegar for sale, but if they
had a little cider that had fermented, he
used the vinegar at his own house.
81 wrote last year to a Birmingham
gentleman, who own a large farm in
Herefordshire, and always has delicious
cider at his home made from his own
apples, concerning cider vinegar, but he
had never heard of such vinegar, and re-
ferred me to a firm of cidermakers in
Herefordshire. When | wrote to this
firm | asked why so little cider vinegar
was used in England. The member of
the firm who replied to me said that he
had used cider vinegar in his own house
for many years, considering it superior
for salads and fancy cooking to any Of
the malt products ob~tainable, but die
not know why cider vinegar had not
been made in England
Owing to the failure of the apple crop
in England this year, there ie an I'M
usual demand for the foreign article.
That circumstance leads the consul tc
remark:
"a cidermaker tells me that 10 OF
IL years ago there was a good deal Of
American cider imported into this dis
trict, and the American methods of pre-
pairing it were then, he admits, superior
to English methods. Some of this Amer
lean cider had, he says, owing to the
fact that it was shipped in barrels which
had formerly held rye whisky, a flavor
which was very much liked. British
c"luer1nakerS, ne claims, nave to-day not
only learned all the American methods
for cider perfection, but have improved
on these processes so much they believe
they now prepare cider better than the
Americans do, and that this is proven
by the decrease in consumption here of
the American cider and the increase in
the consumption of English cider. At
any rate, the English maintain that if
they do not produce a better cider, it is
a cider better suited to English taste,
for most of the American cider is of too
light a quality. The English cider has
greater body than the American, and
English cider drinkers want a very
heavy cider, just as English beer
drinkers want a heavy beer"

WASHING R LINEN.
Republicans Are Very Busy Rene
waiting Their Soiled Skirts and
Regulations.

Gen. Wood is very fortunate in hav-
ing as his most inveterate enemies Sen
ator Hanna and Maj. Rathbone, of Gu
a postal frauds fame. 1t is generally
understood that Hanna is obliged to
back up Rathbone, who declared that
If he was not taken care of he would pull
down the pillars of the republican tenn
Pile. When Senator Hanna was elected
to the senate six years ago, there were
serious charges made against him of
purchasing enough republican members
of the Ohio legislature to make the one
majority by which he was elected.
Rathbone was also charged with being
the lobbyist who fixed the legislators.
Thus there is a fellow feeling between
Hanna and Rathbone. The reward of
the latter was the soft snap in Cuba
where he came to grief and where he
became acquainted with the ~extrava-
giant regime of the presidents friend.
The charges made by Rathbone and 9TH
ers against Gen. Wood are much more
serious than extravaganza, but the full
evidence has never seen the light, Wood
having been whitewashed by Secretary
Root. Now Rathbone has the oppor-
tunity to prove his charges before the
senate committee.
But these charges, though serious, are
foreign to the real issue against the con-
firmation of Gen. Wood as major gen.
eral. His promotion by President
Roosevelt yer the heads of veteran
soldiers, who have done ten times as
much to merit promotion as the pres
ident's particular f, lend, is the impor-
tant question for the senate to decide.
Of course, if Maj. Rathbone can prove
his charges against Gen. Wood, that
officer should be court-martialed and
dismissed from the army, whether he
Is the friend of the president or not, but
in any event his promotion over the
heads of more deserving officers is a
scandal and subversive of good order
and discipline of the army. Favoritism
in the army and navy is un-American
and cannot be tolerated in a republic.

SHIP SUBSIDY E
Will Increase Tariff Duties
Ten Per Cent.

That ~stupendous steal, the proposed
subsidy TO the steamship trust, is to
be again forced on congress. We have
the assurance of Senator Hanna that,
the senate is all right" but he ad-
vises Clement A. Griscom and other
that in their campaign of education they
begin on the house" This is rather
strange advice that Senator Hanna
gives, for in the last congress the po-
stion was reversed. The house then
PASSED the ship subsidy steal, the DEM
Ccfats voting against it, and when the
Dill went to the senate it was de-
feated, Senator Allison and a few
other republicans voting with the
democrats against it. Now, according
TO Hanna, some or all of those repub-
lican senators have changed front, for
he says: 1.-THE senate is all right"
and a good many of the republican
members of the house must have heard
from their constituents if they have
changed, as Hanna indicates they
Lave when he advises Griscom ct al
to begin on the house"
What form the new ship subsidy bill
will take has not yet been disclosed,
for no such bill has yet been intro
duced in either house of congress eX-
cept the bill which Congressman Jones,
of Washington, has introduced impos-
ing a discriminating duty of ten per
cent. additional on all goods imported
in foreign ships. AS less than seven
per cent. of all commodities imported
are brought in foreign bottoms, this
would equal an additional tax of near
iy ten per cent. over and above the
present exorbitant tariff of the Dingley
bill. That is tariff reform with a
vengeance, and it is hardly possible
that enough republican representatives
of the people can be induced to vote
for it. If a bill on those lines is to
pass it will have to be amended to
make the present duties ten per cent.
less on goods imported in American
bottoms, which would make that much
discrimination in favor of American
ships. But how would such an advan-
tage help build up the American mer-
chant marine unless the owners of
ships flying the American flag should
charge higher freight rates, SO that
the discriminating duty would go to
them? In that case the American con
sumers would pay the bill, for the
price of imported goods would remain
the same as far as the tariff is con
cerned. When everyone is grumbling
at the high cost of living and consum-
ers are being bled by the trusts, any
change in the tariff that will add to
their burdens would hardly be ap-
proved by the American people.
The republicans have a majority in
both houses of congress and can pass
any bill they please, but a measure
increasing the tariff will help the dem
ocrats in returning to power, so the
sooner Hanna and Griscom begin on
the house" the better.
