seeking to make the provision more
consistent. In doing this, they have,
however, added to the injury already
provided for by the house, and in
stead of making meats and so forth
dutiable, the bill now adds livestock
to the free list.

Ravens and crows are believed to hold courts of justice to mete out punishment to offenders. Some times they assemble in great num- bers as if they would give dignity tC the occasion. The trial some times apparently endures for many days Some birds sit at the con Claye with lowered heads, some merely cock their heads on the branches and look grave, while others are most garrulous and fill the air with their complaints. Nat uralists studying these strange pro ceedings have seen an apparently selected number of birds fall upon one or more of their number, at
 he close of the trial" and put them to death, after which they dis perse in orderly fashion and go back quietly to their nests.-Harper's Weekly.

When congress granted a terri torial government or Alaska, there was a general cry that it was too restricted Co amount to anything. and the governor in his message has taken up the cry and pretends to feel sorry that there is not more liberty in a measure the doctrines of which he has fought ever since coming up here to govern us.
 It now develops that our legisla- .ure has the right to do hundreds of things for the betterment of the ter ritory, and the bills that are being framed are more numerous than will probably be passed at this session.
 Whatever else the legislators do, they had better carry out their pre- election promises, if they ever want to hold another elective office in Alaska. They made their campaign upon the unequivocal promises that they would work for an eight hour law, for the abolition Of the fish trap-not three or a dozen years hence-but now; that they would grant the women of Alaska the right to vote and take their lawful and rightfuI place in the perpetua' ton of a government under which they must live.
 The campaign promises are still fresh in the minds of the voters ninety per cent of whom can repeat them from memory. Those promises were not the acts of one politicaj party, but of all. Some of the elected senators and representatives are trying to find a means of post poning the enactment of the prom lsed laws which won them their seats, but the members are so few in number that 1t is not difficult to keep track of their actions. If

they side-step, they are politically lost.
 Alaska wants an Australian bal lot law enacted. That was anoth- CT promise which must be fulfilled. It is due to the voters to dig up the platforms of the Home Rule and Non-Partisan parties and re- read them. Then write to the mem- bers and tell them that they are expected to keep their promises.
