all likely that tho national banks in hav-
ing their agents in congress prepare and
pass measure Of this nature would
overlook 90 important matter Rs the
removal Of Rli restriction on their con-
traction or expansion Of the currency OF

will be perfectly safe in the hands Of the

ALAsKA's UNJUST TAX.

At last the eastern papers are awakening
to the enormitv of the injustice done Alas
kans by the action of congress In Lowing
upon them the unprecedented license tax.
The New. York Sun refers to the law as
the exercise in the highest degree of the
sovereign power of congress to legislate for
territory belonging to the United States
but not included in the union of states. 1t
further SAYS that if the Puerto Rican tariff
bill is unconstitutional the Alaskan code is
unquestionablv so.
There can be no doubt about the iniquty
of the license tax imposed upon Alaska,
and as soon as Alaska's treatment by con-
gress becomes generally known, our people
will not lack for champions. They will
come from every corner OF the Union and
represent all political parties.
1t has always been the policv of the
United States to assist in the development
Of the public domain by liberal laws. The
early settlers of our frontier have ever
been provided with the protection of the
government, and have never been specific
allv taxed Other. sections the United
States territory in its pioneer days not only
received the protection accorded BY United
States troops and courts, but were permit
ted to make their own laws, and the fed
eral government paid the bills of their leg
islatures.
This broad and liberal policy of the
United States was burdensome in the early
days of the century when money was
scarce. It was especially hard to meet the
expenses of Indian wars on the plains, Of
carrying mail by stage and on horseback
to the numerous settlements scattered ovel
the two million square miles of mountain
and plain lying to the west of the Missouri
river during the dark DAYS of rebellion
vet it was done. 1t was not until the
United States had become the strongest
and the richest of the nations of the world
during the prosperous wears of the present
administration that congress saw fit tt
abandon its benifeent position and to taa
the hardy pioneers for attempting to DE-
business on the frontier.
1t is not strange that the newspapers Of
the east are taking up Alsska's fight. II
the United States is to continue expanding
there should be no tax on expansion. II
our people desire that Filiplnos and Cubans
shall be. willing to admit American SOW
ereigntv. there should be no presidents fol-
greater tax on territory outside of the
Union than on the, wealthy states within

SOMETHING GAINED.

If Alaskans did not get what they want
ed at the hands OF congress at the last ses-
sion, they made substantial progress.
Thew have succeeded in two important
things. They have become convinced
themselves that territorial form of gov
eminent is the only solution of the Alaskan
question and they have made converts to
that idea amongst senators and congress-
men.
The statement of Congressman Warner
that the next important legislation for
Alaska will be the division of the district
and the granting of a territorial govern
ment Is gratifying, and should encourage
those who have elected to call Alaska
home. The next congress which will con-
vene on the first Monday in December 1901
should have an opportunity to pass upon
this question. Properly presented at that
time there is not a single doubt but that it
will be readily granted, because such has
been the time honored American custom.
If Mr.. Warmers idea that the granting
of delegate in congress by the present
congress would delay the formation of ter
rtorial government tor Alaska, is correct
then Alaskan's are probably fortunate that
thev did not get one of the things they
asked for.

ALL ATE THEIR HUSBANDS.
Utter Failure of Costly Experiment
to Make Spiders Weave SILK.

10 make Spt0ere Weave Sihks
AS long ago as the beginning Of the
eighteenth century the idea of using
the thread that the spider spins from
it's body as a substitute for the thread
unwrapped from the cocoon of the silk
worm was preached but with little
practical result. An Englishman, Mr..
Rolf, secured 10000 feet of silk thread
from % spiders in two hours.
OF late some experiments have been
conducted by curious persons to ascer-
tain which spider produced the best
and largest quantity of silk, for 1t has
been demonstrated that it Is an excel
lent substitute for that Of the silk
worm. Spiders from Paraguay and
Argentina, from India. China and Aus
tralia, were tried, but the best results
were secured from the spiders of Mad
agascar.
1t was found that after laying her
eggs the female spider spins most free
ly Six of these were selected and con-
fined for the test. From one 1000
yards of thread were secured in ten
days; from the second, 1850 yards in
seven days; from the third aud fourth,
450 yards In four days; from the fifth,
1,400 yards in IL days, and from the
sixth, 1920 yards in q days.
German manufacturer was so de-
lighted with this test that he made
elaborate arrangements for having a
spider silk mill. importing Il large num-
Der of the spiders from Madagascar
to Germany. All went well until the
females had laid their eggs and be-
gun to spin, when all at once the males
were found to have disappeared. TheiI
larger feminine companions had grown
so fond of them that each female spi
der had eaten her mate. This catas
trophe ended the costly experiment
