RIGHT FOR ONCE.

1t is not often that the ARGUS is led to
commend either the ideas or the course of
the Union, but in regard to its pleas for
the special assessment for street improve
ments it is on the right track. To be sure
theidea is by no means original with the
linton, but it is right in its application

of the fund. An instance can be given in
the southern part of the city where short

and over which there is no travel except by
the residents on it, has been put In better
shape than any street in town, while

Imense heaps of sawdust which hey depos-

the lobster is growing as scarce as the

New England coast and sent to the New

already 60 reduced the supply that Holsters
sometimes sch as high as twenty five cents

even then. But the fact that is lcalculated to
produce the greatest grief and horror
in this connection Is the ultimate extinc-
ton of the oyster, which Prof. Ryder OF
the Smithsonian institution asserts will
come about, unless some effective meas
ures be taken to prevent il. This esti-
nable bivalye has come into such univer-
sal use IN the country, and we have be-
come SO accustomed to look upon it as an
indispensable feature in our feasts, that
the very idea of its extinction must fill
us with uneasiness. 81 But Prof. Ryder
informs us that the supply is rapidly fail
ing. and unless some method of success
fully. prepagating oysters be discovered,
the American oyster will dwindle to the
insignifcance of its European brother
and cease to appear at our tables. IF
this cannot be done, said he, lin a few
years the oyster will become as great

DESTRUCTION OF FISH.

At the annual meeting of the American
Fishcultural association in New York last
week, Prof. Smaliey of the Smithsonian
institution made some statements that will
be equally surprising and discouraging to
fish-eaters in this country. According to
Prof. Smalley, the great lakes. with their
once immense stock of fish, have been so
diligently and severely drawn on that
their supply of choice fishes is being serious
ly impaired There are enou Oh nets used
on Lake Michigan to form continuous
line from one end of the lake to the other
The result is that the white-fsh do not
have time to grow to their full size. Those

NATIONAL BANK, TAXES.

Under d law of the state of New York
THAI was enforced from 1857 to 1879,
STOCKHOLDERS in national banks were not
allowed to deduct their debts from the val
uation of their bank shares in making their
tax returns to the ASSESSOR privilege
which was accorded to all other classes of
personal property. In 1880 the United
States supreme court decided this state law
to be in conflict with the national banking
law-and it was stated at the time that
this decision would deprive the city of
New York alone of 81 500, 900 revenue for
at once instituted proceedings to set aside
the assessments against them for that year.
The tax commissioners were willing to
make the deductions of debt originally
claimed, but the banks, not satisfied with
this, claimed that the state law was void
and no assessment under it could be made
case was N AIDE up and carried to the SUI
preme court, and that tribunal last week
rendered decision on IT, The lower court
had given an opinion in favor of the share
holders, holding not only that no valid as
sessment could be made under the law, but
that the banks for their shareholders had
a right to recover the taxes unlawfully col
lected under it for several years past. The
United States supreme court reverses this
judgment. This saves the city of New
York SIC, 600, 600 which but for it would
have been recovered back by the banks for
their shareholders.

POLITICAL JUDGES.

| The Union is out in an article in antago
nism of the election of Judge Craig. Ths
article is clever one and reflects credit or
the Unions view of the case, but the argu-
ment is, yet the same. 1t does not say re
ject Judge Craig because he is an incom
petent man, nor because he has not al
| ready proved himself a good judge; mo-
because there is not every reason to ne
| lieve that he will continue to be geod
| judge; nor further yet because there il
any better man to propose. The reasor
given pure and simple is: he is not re-
publican; he is not bitter partisan; he
has not been on one side and begrimed
himself with caucuses and primaries.
There is nothing further than this to argue
against him, no other objection to offer.
But the Union says this is enough; we
must have republican and more than that
we must have republican nominated by
a convention.
The whole of this judge5hip dispute is
very simple. Judge Craig has proved him
self fit and acceptable man for the posi-
ton; his brains are undoubted and his
prohity unquestioned. He has made, o
good judge. Consequently he should be
returned, or if he is not some other man
who has more legal capacity, more brains.
It is no argument to say this other man is
republican and Judge Craig is not; poll
tics must have nothing TO do with the
question. 1t may be that all the brains,
honor and honesty of the country is con-
fined to the republican party, but that
claim is not made. What Judge Craig s
politics are the ARGUS does not knew, it
docs not care, it is not q
feature in the discussion. There
are undoubtedly many officers in
this country where the politics of the cah-
didate are an important consideration, Of
fees that are executive in Legislature and
where political principles are to be sup
ported or antagonized; our judgeships.
however, are none of these, and it is inn
portant for the right and proper admins
tration of justice that judge should enter
upon his Office bound by no promises, ow-
ing nothing of his elevation to any mans
aid or favor. The candidate of party.
convention where there is anything like q
contest can never do this; il he would sue
coed in convention he must make prom
ises and enter into combinations; he must
be wire puller, and he goes cut of that
convention successful through the aid of
men who look to him fer return favors

That is certainly not the way to chance
pure Judges. Furthermore. the best can
didate is seldom selected by such con-
vention, as the poorer one who is q wire

A Strange Scene IN the House.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times alludes to an odd scene
in the House of Representatives a short
time ago. Alexander II. Stephens was
allowed ten minutes, and he wheeled
himself around in the peculiar vehicle
in which he sits on the floor of the
House, and spoke in favor of passing
some bill which would give the honest
claimants against the United States a
chance to have their claims considered
and paid. Mr.. Stephens was very much
in earnest, and he gesticulated with his
gloved hand with such vigor and spoke
in such loud, clear tones as seemed a
marvellous exhibition from such an at
tenuated, feeble and paralyzed body.
In his seat he wheeled himself all over
the open space in front of the clerk's
desk, and the members gathered around
him in circle, so that it would have
appeared to stranger in the gallery,
who did not know what was going on,
that the members were looking at an
expert exhibition of curious kind of
bicycle. Mr.. Stephens was applauded
when he finished.

Digitated Stockings.

From time immemorial stockings
with toes have been used occasionally,
particularly in the treatment of certain
foot troubles. Lately they have come
into more general use, and not little
public discussion has arisen over the
fashionable novelty. The London med
ical authority, Lancet, is strongly in.
clined to favor them as likely to con-
duce to comfort, and spare many per-
sons who now suffer from the develop
ment of soft corns between the toes,
serious trouble. "Hhey would also be
more cleanly than the stockings in
common use, because they would nat
urally absorb and remove the
acrid moisture which accumulates be-
tween the toes, and which is the gem
eral cause of offensive odors from the
feet. They will, moreover, give the
foot better play, allowing its phalanges
greater freedom of action. And, lastly,
well fitted digitated sock or stocking
will remove a mass of material from the
toe of the boot, and, at the same time,
secure increased breadth and space for
expansion across the base of the toes.
The new stockings, supposing them to
be well cut and fitted, possess many ad-
vantages."

A Boy Lovers Tragic Deed.

A most singular and romantic case
OF immature passion ended at st. Paul,
Missouri, in tragedy. For several
months Albert Drake, a ell-connected
youth OF sixteen years, had been in the
agonies of first love with Miss Jennie
Faulkner, fifteen years old, daughter of
well-to-do and highly respected
family. The affair having assumed a
more dangerous form than school
mate attachment, the mother of the
girl forbade the youth the house and
further association with her child. She
had no further objection than their
youth. Young Drake asked the girl to
elope with him, but she declared her
intention to obey her mother. Having
broken the news to her lover in person
gently but firmly, young Drake accused
her OF having deserted him for rival,
and they separated in mutual distrust.
Ino nSAu Gay unO SILI IOvu,II44IIs,
from school when she met the lad and
spoke pleasantly to him. He was white
with passion and made no answer, but
drew pistol and fired it point blank
at her face. Although they were only
a few feet apart his aim failed him. She
turned on her heel and ran down the
street. The boy ran after her, firing
as they ran, until q gentleman caught
the girl up in his arms and YGn into a
house with her. Drake came quickly
upon the scene and demanded admit
tance, but was refused. In the mean
time party was in pursuit of him and
he ran from them. In his fight he
fred shot at himself without effect.
AS the pursuers were gaining he sud
denly stopped, placed the pistol in
both hands, and laying the muzzle
against his forehead, fired, and fell dead
upon the street.
