n T is singular and significant
fact that the only person in
the kingdom whose household
is affected by the change of
government is the King. There
could be no more striking proof that
it is the prime minister and not the
sovereign who is the real ruler of
the British Empire than that il is
the former, who makes the appoint
ments to the best paying and snug
gest Gillets in his majesty's domestic
encourage. Theoretically, of course,
the appointments are made by the
crown, just as theoretically the
crown appoints the prime minister,
but it is the prime minister who
makes the selections, and the King
merely confirms his choice.
AS a result of the elevation of Sir
Henry Campbell -Bannerman, the son
of a Scotch draper, 20 the position of
the first Minister of the crown, sew
eral aristocratic members of the
royal household, all personal friends
of the King, have been sacked, and
various other more or less exalted
personages have been given their

ions of his own and is debarred the

The public matters which concern Alaska are far beyond any mere per soual politics or personal journalism. The frequent attempts of the Juneau Transcript to heap personal abuse upon the editor of the Daily Alaskan have nothing to do with rights of American citizens who live in this district and are not important. They but show how miserably Doverty-stricken are the tories for something with which to bol- s.er up the falteriug cause of monarchy in Alaska. But it is probably worth while to remark that it pretendedcon- tempt for those people who work for salaries is far-fetched and comes with poor grace from its editor. It is not long ago that be was receiving daily orders from the salaried superintendent of a mine, at whose bequest he turned from the cause of self-governmeut land be- came a tory. h apologizing for his course, he admitted, in effect, that he is not unwilling to "crook the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning," a metaphor which is so often quotes.

TORIES SMELL PIE

Juneau tories are beginning 10 sit up and take notice. They smell pie" and "pie" is the tories long suit. As a result Of the Iabors of those who would have the American principles Ut g)v- ernment extended to Alaska the tories see their monarchical institutions crumbling. They have begun to real ize that Alaska is about to have terri torial government, or, at least, dele gate in congress. Concediug this, in its last issue, the tory organ down there says:
 Those who reside in the states, or who are here ca salary while their fam lilies remain back in the states, should te compelled to keep their fingers out of the pie,
 "Every miner and laboring man en- titled to 8 vote should now pledge him self to attend the primaries and see that none of the Seattle boosters are selected as delegates to any convention. Alaska for Alasksns' should be the battle cry"
 So far as the Gaily Alaskan knows not one of those who are fighting the battle for freedom in Alaska desires to have a finger in the "pie" that will fol- low as an incident to the establishment of selt.governmeut in Alaska. It is certain that those connected with the Daily Alaskan do not care fig about it, They will leave that for the Transcript and the other tory "pie' chasers to quarrel over.

East Boston admits II is suburb,
but denies that it is IN the class with
Lonesomehurst and Swampviile. says
the Boston Journal. Yet when deer
from the forest walks unmolested and
bold down its main street, its claims
as a component part of the town
might be doubted.
It was about ESQ yesterday morn
ing that a little brown deer came out
on Meridian street, having made his
way across vacant lots from the
Lynn woods. and gazed in wonder at
the buildings and the works of man.
Suddenly there was a hoarse clang
behind him. and a huge tunnel car
tore over upon him. Terrified, the
deer sprang forward. and it became
a race between the animal and the
car. which he thought was chasing
him. The short breadth Of Noddle
Island was covered in few moments
and the victorious deer. his little
heart jumping with terror sped
straight down to the sea, to where
a South Ferry boat lay at the slip.
Right through the ferryboat sped
the deer, and then, with mighty
