SPOLIATION CLAIMS.

Wade HamptOns effort to secure an appropriation in the civil sundry bill for the payment of French spoliation claims, which aggregate from five to ten mil lions of dollars, is simply another page in the history of matter that is of pecu- liar interest in this state. Many of Con- necticut's citizens are holders of claims against the United States government on account of French spoliations of American commerce prior to the treaty with France made in the first year of the present century. It is for this reason that they are anxious for the success of Senator Hamptons move and are waiting with the sickness of hope long deferred for an awakening of jus tice in our national government.
 By the treaty of 1900 the United States, in consideration of having been released by France of certain obligations and claims of great value, agreed to assume the responsibility of paying its own citi- zens all just claims for the spoliation of their vessels and cargoes by French cruisers prior to the framing of the treaty The United States thus assumed of paying the damages sustained by Am erican citizens, but it has consistently failed to pay single dollar of them. Three years ago, after debates that had ranged through many years and many administrations, congress referred the whole matter to the court of claims. After much care and examination this court has found valid claims to the am- ount of $S00,000 on claims already ex- amined, yet congress has declined to pay are yet to be passed upon by the court. and for which it is held there are indu- bitable proofs, there will be certainly $5, ,OOO, ,0OO and perhaps S10,00O, ,OOO which this government is morally and legally obligated to pay to the claimants. With the judgment of the court to which the matter was referred before it, it seems that congress ought to be willing to re- move from the government the stain that has been put upon it by Its refusal for so many years to discharge an hon. est debt. It is certainly not an edifying spectacle, this backing and filling by a great national government
 It is to be hoped that Senator Hamp. ton will persist in his effort to secure justice for the holders of these claims Of course none of the original claimants are now living, but their legal heirs arc as much entitled to the payment as te any others that may be due to theil estates. Time has not purged the United States of its duty to discharge the obi gations it assumed when, by its agree ment with France, it promised to reim purse American citizens for claim. which they rightfully held against the French government. And we thinl that congressman who is true to him self and to his sense of duty cannot con scientiously refuse to vote for the appro priation necessary to adjust these claims
 It would be a dip into our overhowine treasury that all lovers of honesty ane justice could heartily commend and tha
 would bring tardy credit to a govern I ment that should never tolerate iniustic, to its own citizens.

THE legislature ought not. under an

THE legislature ought not, under any circumstances, to extend the time for receiving new business. There is enough in the bills already introduced, with the easy going methods of Speaker Perry, to keep the members busy until long after planting time shall have made the bucol- ic lawmakers tired of the capitol. There has been little done so far beyond the introduction of business, and certainly sufficient opportunity has been given everybody who may have business to get it on the calendars. Unimportant matters should not be allowed to take mp much of the legislatures time for the railroad matters and taxation measures already down for action will cut out a heap of work. The first biennial session ought to be made a memorable one, and especially in adherence to the time orig inally fixed for the reception of new business.

AMERICA IS ALI RIGHT.

The ability of the United States to hold LID her end in case of war with Ger many has been receiving attention since our recent misunderstanding with Prince Bismarck. To be sure, this country has no enormous military system to eat up the surplus in the treasury as has Europe where it is estimated that the annual out lay for military purposes foots up S1, ,750, 100000. This takes in the ex- pense of supporting the armies and navies of the various powers, building fortlti- cations, new ships and obtaining war supplies of all kinds, beside paying the interest upon war debts incurred during the last quarter of a century. If to this is added the loss of productive labor by the men who are kept under arms, in stead of serving in various industrial capacities, the annual expense or loss would represent the enormous sum Of s, 150, ,000, 1000. America staggers under no such military burden, and it may be easily imagined that it never will. But for all that the United States is not at the mercy of any foe that may be dis posed to attack us.
 Our standing army is not very large, being less than twenty-five thousand men. But then there are several hundreds of thousands who are enrolled i'll the ranks of the state militia and who might be no less serviceable in hostilitles than the regular troops. There are numbers too of the gallant men who fought to preserve the Union-yes and of the brave fellows who battled to disrupt it that would not think themselves toe old or too unfit for service if any foreign nation dared to strike at the stars and stripes. Our navy, thanks to the efforts of Secretary Whitney and the co-opera ton of the democratic administration is no longer flotilla of worn-out tubs and unserviceable hulks. We have some vessels that would hold their own witf any the enemy might send against them and all the Jack Barrys and McDonough: and Farraguts have not passed away from the race of American Seamen This country has never been beaten or the seas, and we think that Bis marck or any other European tire-eatel would have reason to regret the day hi
 naval forces tried to beat the American: on the seas. If Germany or any othel power should attempt to bend the necl of this great Yankee nation they would be apt to sign pretty big contract
 Within thirty days from the first note
 that called Americans to arms ther
 would be million Ellsworths ready t, shoot down the first man that would at tempt to haul down the American flag.
 This Yankee nation is some shake a fter all and we think it would be apt t. hold its own in an altercation with Ger many. But then there isn't going to b
 any war with Germany. Herr Vol
 Bismarck knows thing or too.

THE WEATHER AND CLIMATE.
 The unusual mildness that has char acterized the present winter, coupled with the climatic freaks that marked the year 1888, has renewed belief in the idea that prevails among the average public that the climate and seasons are chang ing. The impression among those who have not given special study to meteor ological subjects is that the earth's sur face is slowly becoming depressed at some points and is in process of elevation at others, and that the present mild winter Is evidence that the climate is be- ing affected by these depressions and by atmospheric effects which are slowly be- ing reduced to facts of science. Prof Cleveland Abbe, whose researches on the subject have proceeded from scientific basis, Is of opinion that the changes which are reported as facts in geology are in the main the causes of the results which are to-day the problem for the meteorologist to ex- plain. However, as cimatology and the general science of the weather are yet in their infancy among us, there would seem to be no data from which to proceed and consequently little hope of determining with any degree of accuracy the main fact as to whether the climate and seasons are changing.
 The science of the weather and its de- velopments have been an interesting and profitable subject since it has become a matter of government concern, though the cratic course of our weather bureau is proof that there is yet much room for perfecting our knowledge of it. With many persons the aching of a corn or the advance rumblings of a rheumatic affec- tion are even yet better indications of meteorological changes than any scien- tific prophecies that may emanate from the observations of practical weather clerks. But these indications, while they may be very efficacious and ever infallible in the case of individuals, will not be regarded as of equal value witl the approved methods that are the suggestions and outgrowth of maturing science. We may be able, when clima tology shall have reached a higher de velopment, to determine somewhat ac curately seeming changes of our climate and to know more of the relations tC such change that are the result O. geological transformations, but for tn, present non-scientific spectators mus proceed on the general lines that are result of their own personal observation
 To such the change of climate tha would insure so delightful winter a the present would be most delightful.
