English papers report that during a recent
visit OF King Edward to Biarritz the people of
the place politely pretended to ignore his pres
ence when he went out for stroll. Not SO the
Kings own subjects. AS soon as they heard
that he was going to Biarritz they swoOped
down upon the place, and soon every available
bedroom in the hotels taken. Some traV-
elled hundreds of miles for the purpose of stand
ing close to the monarch and compelling him
to respond to their salute and one woman
placed herself several times in his maiesty's
way in such a pronounced and indiscreet man
ner that the local officials took her TO task and
IN the presence of several people, reproached
her Tor her want of manners The persons who
thus destroyed the pleasure of the Kings hoi-
day seemed to think that these manifestations
OF snobbshness were an expression Of loyalty.

Yes, think of it. Only the trifiing sum
Of $4,000. That is, "only' that for a

and then there would be ''only' mil

it, How easy it would be for the tax
payers Of Maine to contribute this little
sum toward identifying Portland and
adding to its commercial prestige. Only
half Il million for a beginning. And
how pleased Portland would be to get
this State aid. That city frankly ad-
nilts that it wants the capital as a
business investment The people of
Maine and the Legislature Of Maine
were never before insulted by such
audacious proposition as Portland adj

A Slidinu Scale Of Cost.

The agility with which the Portland
canital boomers have been sliding
down hill on their estimates of the cost
Of a new Capitol shows the desperate
straits to which the advocates of this
uncalled for, unnecessary and eXtrava-
CANT proposition have been reduced.
At the outset the leading and best
known architect OF that city was of the
opinion that a suitable State House
could be erected for about $3.OO0.o00.
He thought. however. that if the State
was to build at all it should build Tor
50 years to come and that building IN
this way the construction of a proper
State House would call for consider
ably more money. The Portland
boomers. however. thought that it
plain facts before the public at a hear
ing. They therefore did not call the
architect to testify before the COM
mittee but the question of price was
nut up to the committee by ex-Mayor
Randall who thought that suitable
State House could be built for about
two millions"
Now, they profess to believe that
they can build a very fine new capitol
for somewhere around a million dollars
which is about what their new court
house will cost them when it is finally
completed. To assist in their scheme
of building an unnecessary state
House they have their city government
vote $500. 900 of the city's money with
contemplated increase in the same
way to $1J0,000, not a single penny OF
which. in the judgement of some of the
best lawyers Of Maine. could be legally
applied to the purpose for which it
was voted.
1t is a significant fact that in all the
controversy over this matter no great
lawyer of Maine has attempted to
controvert the legal propositions laid
down by Mr. Heath at the second hear
ing, showing by the decisions of the
courts that the municipal government
of Portland has no legal power to vote
city money for this purpose. We do
not think for moment that the people
of Maine will ever consider that the
capital of their State is a matter of
barter or sale or that it should ever
be put up at auction. Even if they
We're disposed to take this sordid view
of the matter they would first of all
demand that the purchase price be
paid in other than counterfeit money.
The fact must never be lost sight of
that the scheme of the Portland boom
ers involves not merely the construc-
ton of a new capitol in their city, but
also the abandonment of the present
one which in the opinion Of good
Judges could not be reproduced for a
million dollars. This State House is in
