Alaska Within Jurisdiction
 of Antitrust Laws

It is held by the department of justice that the interstate commerce laws and the antitrust laws apply to Alaska, ac. cording to Washington dispatches in the Seattle Times, The same dispatches say that if proof eau be offered that the Alaska Steamship Association was a combination to prevent competition and restrain trade its members will be prosecuted. The action of the grand jury at Juneau in calling attention to The steamship association has caused the department of justice to taSe these questions up.
 Local transportation men are not alarmed over the action of the Juneau grand iury or the information which they get from Washington. They say the agreement as tO passenger ard freight rates entered into by th7 Pacific Coast Steamship Company, the Alaska Steamship Company, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the Humboldt Steamship Company, form ing the Alaska Steamship Associa ation was & similar agreement to those agree ments made by different transportation companies throughout The country with the consent of the Interstate Commerce commission. It was not for the purpose, they say, of doing away with competit- ion but for the purpose of estab ishing uniform rates.
 lt Is admitted that the custom of the steamship companies of giving rebates is outside of the law, for the law, agsins. rebates aces not apply to traffic which is coufned exclusively toI steamship lines Ou the other hand, il is conceded that rebates given contrsc- tors on through bills Of lsding. where the e is both rail and water ,rsnsporta. tiOu within Americ,n territory are illegal, if the interstate laws apply to Alaska g. all.
 The breaking up of he Alaska Sle'm- ship Assoct HiOn will probably stop the iureuled proceedings, as the dissolvin. of the Nome Grocers' Association stop | ped the prosecution against that.

TNn ArchbIshopN.

The archbishop of Canterbury Is prl. mate of all England and therefore takes precedence of the archbishop of York, who Is only ''primate of Eng land" This very nice distinction was made several centuries ago on account of very bitter dispute arising between the two tunctionarieS as to which should precede the other. The matter was settled by confcrrtng precedence upon the archbishop of Canterbury, the two titles being also bestowed at the same time.

MIR. Dorliver in the wilderness.

The speech Of the Hon. JONATHAN
PRENTIss D%oLLIvER of'Iowa on railway
rate regulation contains many modest
avowals and ingenious disclosures. He
approaches the subject with very
great reluctance, amounting to timid-
ity," a somewhat new feeling in this old
favorite. A sort Of trembling con-
fusion, a sensation of being strangely
lost, dazed, breathes through many
loopholes of his language:
Unless l get entirely lost In the woods"
1T Is a good deal OF a wildeness we have TO
wander about in, and | confess with some regret
that the preoccupations OF my routine affairs here
have been such that | have been barely able TO hnd
a few pathways into It, and have had time only
to set up a few landmarks as a sort OF guide 10 my
feet In trying to make a way through IT,"
IL have been depressed and discouraged in the
last week more than l can say here"
The depression and encouragement
are shaken of gradually. The wan
derer in the wilderness finds a few land
marks. He quotes the code OF HAMMU-
nRABI to show that government supervi-
sion Of transportation is nothing new:
IL a man hire oxen, a wagon and q driver, he
shall pay 1870 ka OF grain per day"
y " II he hire a wagon only. he shall pay 20 ka of
grain per day"
If a man hire a sailboat. he shall pay q &c Of
silver per day as Its hire"
If man hire a boat OF 90 CUR uonrage, he shall
pay one-slxth OF a shekei OF silver as It's hire per
day,
His profound investigation Of the
history of American railroads brings
him in sight of another economic land.

substantially the same as THAT OF New

It is to be regretted that newspapers
OF standing should find it convenient to
dive currency to false reports for the
purpose either of supporting the Presi-
dent or of discrediting the leaders in the
Senate.
Several papers on Sunday morning
reported rumors that the Republican
leaders of the Senate had approached
The President with proposals to effect
the passage of three Administration
measures-the Statehood bin, the Philip
pine Tariff bill and the Santo Do lingo
treatv-if he would consent to their plan
for a judicial review clause in the Rail-
way Rate bill. One paper publishes
this as an effort to "coerce the President,
Another states that rumor declares that
the propositions were spurned indig-
nantly by the President On authority
which would be accepted az sufficient
and final by any man in Washington
THE SUN is able to say that no such
deal or proposition has been made or
considered.
Such insinuations are as little credit

petty and snarling charges that the
Philippines committee defeated the
Payne bill for the purpose Of getting
back" at Mf, ROOSEVELT for his attitude
Aon the rate bill, or from any other
equally unworthy motive. The same
charges will doubtless be brought in the
event of the defeat OF amendment Of the
Statehood bill next Friday and in the
event of a definite defeat Of the Santo
Domingo treaty.
These assaults on the integrity Of
national Legislators are only a reflection
on the common sense of the people who
elect them. The situation is sufficiently
tense. Newspaper correspondents should
leave such fantastic tales to the magazine
writers.

Individual than that which | noted In 1891. Here
II Is:
Alcohol Is indirectly a food, because preserva.

Heat Is produced by oxidation of tissue. Nearly
~ per cent. OF alcohol disappears by oxidation In

The Mainsprins OF Governor Higgins.

We infer that Governor HIGGINS has
no more idea Of standing for reelection
next fall than he has of entering the
field year after ext as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for President
OF the United States. Yet some Govern
ora, IL not most Of them, look forward
TO a second election and a second term
as a most desirable recognition OF sue
cess and usefulness during the expert
mental period OF their service.
If Mr.. HIGGINS had not %renounced the
thought Of reelection he would scarcely
be paltering and pottering now with the
smaller things Of State politics, in the
presence Of an opportunity 80 obvious
to all discerning minds and so stimula-
tive of energy, Of ambition and OF the
sense Of public duty.
1t is uncomfortable that MIR. HIGGINS
believes that the next Republican nomi-
nation and the mex election as Governor
are to be achieved, if achieved at all, by
the favor and cooperation of the second
rate politicians of the party, the former
first rates being either dead, out of bust
ness, superannuated or in the pillory.
8Mr. HIGGINS must know, as everybody
else knows, that the only thing short OF
the direct intervention of the hand OF
0mnipotence that can elect a Repub-
lican Governor this year is the effective
manifestation of that healthy, indie
pendent Republican sentiment which
started in last fall to rid the party of
grocery grafters and boodling bosses,
which partly accomplished the job with
the moral aid and hearty sympathy OF
some honest New York Republicans
high in the Federal Government, and
which is now hailing with extraordinary
enthusiasm the mere suggestion that the
right sort Of a leader may be in sight in
the person of CHARLES f. HUGHES, the
unterrified and the terrible.
II Mr.. HIGGINS were intending to run
again he would be thinking more about
these things and less about the Kill
BURNS, the HENDRICKsEs, the county
bosses and the little Machiavels of the
State Senate and the Assembly. Everyact
OF the Governors since about the second
week of January, and likewise his every
failure or deliberate omission to act,
seems to our friendly eyes to denote on
his part a sudden conviction that he is a
statesman whose interior works the good
lord wound up originally to IL for a
single term of two years only.
