A TABLE-CONsCIOUs AMERICA.

It may be fear that. in this day of diet, eating is becoming lost artaand drinking, as pleasurabe accompaniment to the consumption of good food, is a thing of the past, that is causing stir through out the country in support of movement to pro- mote a new interest in good wine and good food. It is fine idea, no doubt, that will be met with favor by the same people who have been reading recent biographies of Diamond Jim Brady and others of his kind to whom food food-and. if it was good, the more one ate the better An epicure, gourmand, gourmet and glutton each has something in common. Start with epcurean appreciation of good food and the "connoisseur in the delicaces of the table to quote the Messrs Funk and Wagnalls, is not unlikely to find his way to gluttony. The dictonarys example of the use of the word "gor- mand' for instance is the wise admonition that Many gormands disorder their stomachs"
 But to get back to the movement to make America table conscious. The New York Herald Tribune tells about the suggestion, recently made, that association be formed in the United States of connoisseurs, a parallel to the Wine and Food Society of Great Britain The organization the Herald Tribune says is now in the process of evolution with Frank Schoonmaker, youthful wine amateur whose recently published book wine is said to be the best and most complete in print as secretary Of the epicures.
 The Herald Tribune adds:
 The business of selling" wine to America
 
 obviously depends several circumstances,
 among which the economic factor the
 quality of the product available and the
 example set by people regarded as leaders
 in American customs and usage. That would
 be one of such academy of bons
 vivants Another would be the diligent
 searching out and designation of commend
 able restaurants and dishes throughout the
 countryside and the honoring of particularly
 gallant chefs. It's general aim would, of
 course, be the stimulation throughout the
 nation of consciousness of the finer things
 of food and drink.
 And while the New York paper is suggesting a return to appreciation of the finer things of the table, the Cincinnati Enquirer takes up the plea for less spinach and of the good old-fashioned American food that consumed before doctors told that liver good for anemia and vitamins made for health
 The Enquirer ends its discourse:
 Yet, with all these fashions in eat
 ing, it is pleasant to note that the
 servative taste of many Americans still @ is for the old favorites-pork and beans,
 beef and cabbage. with New England x unwavering in it's century-long devotion to
 codfish balls. And in the South hominy grits
 still staple, while everywhere in the
 rural regions this is the time of spareribs
 and homemade sausages, with fried apples on
 the side. Heaven be praised that, in spite
 of liver, spinach and bran, the old gastron-
 omic landmarks remain Here, it would not be amiss, in spite of MT in a good word for spinach, carrots liver and al

.oDIMOND SCORES AGAIN.

a In obtaining funds for construction of two new lighthouses and the erection of minor lights in Alaskan waters, Delegate Dimond has again scored. PWA funds are almost impossible to obtain at this time That he was able to get even limited sum, S76000 in all indicates that he presented a strong case to the Public Works Administrator
 No funds allotted to the Territory by that author ity will serve useful purpose than money for aids to navigation Alaskan waters are cuttered with the wrecks of fine vessels the loss of which could have been averted had the proper charting, marking and lighting been done. While it is true that every year finds the Lighthouse Service making improvements it's progress is slow because it's funds are limited. It could use to great advantage many time the sum allotted for Sentinel Island and Tree Point Lighthouses and minor lights. If further funds are provided for PWA projects, it should share much more largelyA0

ARE WE NOT AMERICANS?

Sterling P Strong, of Dallas, Texas elected in 1892 as Congressman -at-large from the Lone star State to serve his first term in the National House of Representatives would keep the shackles of Pro hibton fastened upon the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii Due to his opposition according to Asso- cated Press reports from Washington, favorable report on bills repeating all Prohibition laws in the two Territories has been delayed He is against that repeal Fortunately majority of the Com mittee on Territories do not see eye to eye with him. and has authorized Delegates Dmond and Me Candless to write the majority reports approving the repealers
 Congress has passed and the President approved bills repeating the Prohibition laws so far as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are concerned Similar action has been had with respect to the District of Columbia National Prohibition for the 48 States is dead Only in Alaska and Hawaii do the Dry Laws remain in technical force The Senate has approved their repeal in both Territories There can be no justification for opposition to that course
 Just what grounds MT. Strong erstwhie travelling salesman and County Clerk, have on which to oppose it has not been revealed. True the people of neither of the Territories have ex- pressed themselves at the polls on repeal Of Ma tional Prohibition But that because they were denied the opportunity by law. In every other way they have so expressed themselves. In Alaska particularly the sentiment for repeal was voiced in no uncertain terms when the local LegslatHe Ill 1881 passed law repeating the Alaska Bone Dry Law. later declared invalid by the courts, and 1T 1883 repeated that action by an almost unanimous vote and asked that Congress validate the repealer
 The people of the Territories are just as genuinely American as those of the States. That is the reason Alaska and Hawaii Territories, and are hopeful later of attaining Statehood They are entitled to the same treatment to the same rights and priv ileges and to share the responsibilities, re- strcted only by Territorial limitations, as those oi the States Most of the members of the House Con- mttee on Territories to share that opinion Undoubtedly a majority of the House membership will do likewise Except for the delay it is causing MT Strongs opposition is not likely to have any result Possibly it will give him record that he desires to use in the Congressional elections next Fall, which after all, seems to be about the only reason for making minority report on the bills.

Alaska Visitors.
(Anchorage Times.)


 The first rumblngs are being heard here of the preparations for the annual trek of tourists into Alaska.
 The Puget Saunders and other advertising agencies on the coast are signing up tourists for the season of 1884 and many expected to make the trip this way
 The travel into Alaska this season is not likely to approach anywhere near what it has been some of the previous years but the business will continue, and from now on should increase yearly Eventually tourist travel into Alaska will be something enor- nous With a realization of that fact, and of all that Alaska has to offer in way of attractions peculiarly Alaskanesque it will be good business for every Alaskan agency to keep up its advertising and representations in a way fully setting out these attractions.
 Alaskas climate and scenic features constitute an invaluable asset that is nexhaustible The more widely these charms become known the greater their pulling power Many countries have capitalized their climate and scenic wonders in a way that yields millions of dollars annually. Resources of other scenery and climate the lure remains constant and eternal
 Alaska with her soft and delectable summers free from excessive heat of the midcontnent; with her appeal of mountains wales, glaciers, volcanoes big game fishing and other characteristics beckons the stranger to come and see and learn and enrich his fund of knowledge. Her arms are open to all When the travellers they invariably are de- lighted Many need but to be told or asked.

 Flaming youth apparently steps on the gas. Yet it is not to be nerpretated that the boys and girls of today are one whit different in that respect from those of the past. Before the time of the gas-buggy it was the consuming ambition of every boy, particularly the country boy, to horse and buggy And his idea of a horse was one that would show its heels to every other horse on the road.
 If, when driving a car, the youth of today wishes to pass all the other cars, he is doing exactly what his grandparents did. Methods may change, but the exuberance of youthful spirits re- mains the same That is the explanation of the 90 per cent.
