OH SCORES

The passage Of the bill 10 refund to
the states that paid the direct tax
levied early in the war will wipe out
an old score that was a perpetual
irritation, says the Helena Herald,
The northern states had paid In full,
but only u few of the southern states
had paid any part of it. There was nc
way to enforce payment, except a:
the government could get into III
hands something belonging to the
debtor states. As there IL no way in
which 70 make the delinquents pay up
the ouly way to do justice il to return
to those that did pay. That's what
the bill proposes. The whole opposi'
ton was from the delinquent states.
Southern representatives by their
votes say that they had rather be in
debt than not.
Another very much older score is
the French spoilation claims for dam
ages done about a century ago, and
which we have assumed 10 Iay in re
lease of the claim Of France for not nd
herring 20 and performing our treaty
stipulations with that country.
Everybody knows that to secure the
aid Of France in our Revolutionary
war Se entered into an alliance that
was both offensive and defensive,
When France WAS o after at wal
with all Europe we declined 10 re-
spoud to French demands.
The s~poilstious occurred by seizure
Of American ships and cargoes in the
time Of Napoleon's wars. They were
a Just claim on France, and our gov.
eminent assumed to pay them for an
ample consideration. There should
be no hesitation IL paying, even tho
the claims are perhaps mostly in the
hands of assignees and spectators.
The time OF congress that has been
consumed in discussing this measure
for nearly a century, has really cost
more than IL would have done to pay
the claims in full. We have waited
until we are well able to pay and csu-
not afford 10 wait any longer. Even
tardy justice beats rank injustice.
SO there were many monuments
voted by the continental congress that
have not been erected. Every spot on
our national faith rom the beginning
ought to be carefully erased, 30 Ina,
ours shall be the brightest flag that
floats beneath the sun and stars,

The olive trees m the hotel gardens are heavily Iadened with snowy, fragrant blossoms. Yuma (Arizona) Sentinel.
 It seem queer to us Alaskans to read of blossoms as early as the first of Aprli and no doubt the editor of the Sentinei points to 1t as a particular climatic fea- ture of his country. But a lite later. during the sweltering months of July and August, we fancy our brother Of the quill seeking the shade of those same olive trees endeavoriDs in vain to es- cape from the scorching heat of an An zona summer day. No doubt he will long for a breeze born among the lee- bergs Ot Alaska to come and kiss hIS feverish brow. We do not envy Arizona her blossoming olive trees, her melting atmosphere and her scorched, sandy deserts swarming with tsranlulas, cenii- pedes and poisonous lizards; We prefer Alaska with her cold breez from the mountains on one hand from the sea on the other, and where the thermomeier rarely drops lower than three degrees in winter and not higher than eighty Tn summer-surely climate for health Alaska Free Press.

Along the whole length Of the river as far down as Agua Callente, thls stealing IS going on, and in several cases the injured parties have taken the trail of the stolen stock and followed Il into the reservation.

The Poison Of Spiders.

An interesting essay on the poison
of spiders was recently delivered 10y
Prof. Bricgcr.of Halle, before n society
of naturalists Experiments mado owith
two kinds of Russian spiders rcputcd
to be vcnomous showed thcm TO be in
nocuous, but u third species, belonging
to tho Same region and properly termed
the "blacb wolf" was found fully To
boar out its reputation. Its poison is
moro powerful perhaps than any
known, not excepting prussic acid and
strychninc. IL makes great ravagos
among Russian livestock, attack
ing the animals ~ they gra2O. II i'm
nicts n sting ON the mouth or tongue
which causes death in a short timo.
The venom pCrvadCs the entire system
Of the spider, constituting about
twenty-five per cent. of its weight. Tho
poison belongs to the class of so-callCd
fcrmcnts, being composed of albumin
Gus matter. IL Is rendered inactive
when subjected to the action of alco-
hol IL produces no effect whom taken
I'm the stomach, but whom introduced
into tho blood vessels, it ucts 50 pow
erfully that two or thrco millgrammcs
will suffice To kill man. Prof. Bricgcr
has examined the spiders OF Germany,
and has found one only To be venom
Gus. In this species the venom Is
possessed only 10y the young insect,
which is virulcnt in an extraordinary
degree. " u Post.
