Mccall of Massachusetts is an independ
ent. and he proved his right TO the title
| in the last campaign by very bold
speech. He comes from residence dis
trict. where the political success of a
| candidate does not depend so much upon
his party allegiance and his submission
to the party rulers as 1t does in some
others. He was first elected as a Repub-
lican. but has at various times voted so
as TIC show his restlessness in the Admin
istration harness. He has done many
things to mark him as against his party,
but nothing that can compare with the
remark he made in his campaign speech.

Religion In the Philippine schools.

There is one thoroughly American
principle that we cannot too early begin
to apply to the foreign possessions that
Representative Cooper, Chairman of the
House Committee on Insular Affairs. yes
terday Il mean the principle of relig-
ious freedom. There is another principle
which ought to have equal consideration
in these first days of our colonial system,
and it is that which demands public mon
eys to be used only for public purposes.
and not for even assisting private
schemes. Both these principles are in
VOWED in the matter of compulsory re-
ligious teaching in the Philippine schools.
The Constitution guarantees to all citi-
zens of the United States religious free
dom. It would be illogical and highly
unjust, if we were to begin our govern
ment of the Philippines by even indi-
rectly imposing upon the islands any one
religion, even though that religion should
be the one chosen by the majority of the
people. Similarly, it would be illogical
and unjust to use moneys collected by a
general taxation in forwarding the spread
of any religion. No one need fear that
the Filipinos will lack in religious guild
ance. They will be well cared for and
perhaps too well cared for, by the heads
OF the Church already dominant in the
islands. 1t is worth while to give this
matter a good deal of consideration. be-
cause 1t is one of vital Importance in the
scheme of government of the many islands
which are now under our dominion Now
is the time to take the stitch which will
save nine, for If we open the field to
religious contention in them, our pos
sessions will give us endless trouble"

An Old Timer.-AIl the messengers
who bring the announcement of the cleo
toral votes from their States are not
chosen for their 'feetness. Fleetness could
hardly have been what led to the choice
of W. T. Reyili, who knocked on Senator
-Frye's door yesterday. asking to be admit
ted in the name of-the good State of Geor-
gia. Mr. Revill Is a greyhaired mar. fully
seventy years Of age, and hardly to be
called rapid now, In walking. But he
paced the halls OF the Capitol yesterday
with something like an eager step. 1t was
not for speed that Mr. Revill was chosen
to bring the electoral vote OF Georgia. but
it was in order that. in official capacity. he
might see the Capitol again. Twenty
years ago and more Mr. Revill was daily
in the Capitol Building. He was connected
with the Postoffee Department. and was
a special friend OF Mr.. Frye. Mr.. Reviil
is now newspaper man, and owns the
"Meriweather indicator" Four other

HEADGEAR FOR WOMEN.

This is the season of the Mexican hats.
 Sprays of pink hawthorn charm inply adorn some of the modish exam ples of millinery.
 The country girl will find she is be- ing catered for most lavishly, and all the leading miiliners are showing de- lightful straws in burnt and various brown shades, for boating and cycling, simply trimmed with colored foulard and silks or several shades of taffeta ribbon.
 A simple and pretty hat is trimmed with black and white ribbon of the finest of fine checks, having the ef- feet of gray. It is carried around the hat in folds, having the familiar triple fence effect, not meeting at the back, but carried over the rim, tied once un- derneath, the ends fringed and hang ing close to the hair. The shape is a rolling sailor, and there are grilles at the side.. .~ ...s.

EX-GOVERNORS OF STATES.

Of the surviving governors of Vir- ginia, Gen. FitZhugh Lee is the best known.
 Of the surviving governors of Massachusetts, the most prominent in public life is Secretary Long. three times consecutively elected governor of the Bay state, and now secretary of the navy.
 It is somewhat curious fact that, excepting President Mckinley and Senator Foraker, whose official resi- dences are in Washington. q majority of the surviving former governors of Ohio are now residents of New York city.
 There are six surviving governors of New York: Cornell elected in 1879; Cleveland, elected in 1882; Hill, first elected in 1885; Morton, elected in 1894; Black, elected in 1896, and Roosevelt, elected in 1898. Three of the six. after having been governor, attained honors- in the field of na- tional politics; Cleveland as presi- dent; Hill as senator, and Roosevelt as vice president.

There is man in an eastern city who does a large business in babies dresses, and clothing for very young children, writes Edward Box, in La. dies Home Journal. He makes and sells nothing else. His trade is almost entirely with women. Up to within three years ago he would send, out to his customers bills amounting to as much as $10,000. In six months time he would receive less than $3, ,oO0 in re. turn. Yet his customers all "stood well' and were considered women of easy means. Then he deliberately changed his method of rendering bills. He went over his books and found that he had some $l2,000 worth of unpaid accounts. He made out the bills and addressed them to the husbands or fathers of his customers, directing the bills to their offices. Within 60 days he had rec4ved S9,60o in checks. His invariable rule now is to send all his bills to the husbands. fathers or the male members of his ustomers' fami- lies. When no male member exists he insists upon cash transaction,

LONG DISTANCE
 PHONE SYSTEM
Will Shortly Be Inaugurated Between Nome, Bluff City, Council City
 and Teller.

Harry White and brothers propose to have their telephone system, which will connect Nome with Teller, Bluff City and Council City, in operation early next spring. The line between Nome and Council will be completed first. Offices will be maintained at Port Safety and Bluff City along the line. According to the survey made the line between Nome and Council will be no miles long.
 The contract for the erection of the necessary poles has been let to A. F. Boyd, of this city, and the work, as well as stringing the wires, will be completed this winter. The Teller end of the system will be completed next summer. It is the Messrs. White's intention to intersect Northwestern Alaska with telephone lines, and the svete,n. when completed will include lines from Lawson and Val les to Nome.

1t Is Alleged That Numbers Of People Are Destitute.
NO HELP FOR THEM
The Military Authorities State That ~ They Can Do Nothing Without
 Orders From the Department Head
 quarters at Fort Vancouver.

Talk of the necessity of starting q free soup house for the needy of Nome is already heard. Those who claim to know state that unless aid is furnished, |, a number of deserving men will suffer this winter.
 Major Booth. commanding at Fort Davis, is authority for the statement that he receives daily many applications for assistance as many as l0 or 20 a day. These men are said to be absolutely stranded. Major Booth fur ther states that the military author tiles are pOwerless to render assistance, and> he says it is for the city to act |. Last winter it was different. Then General Randall, commanding the De- partment of Alaska, was stationed at St. Michael, and he could issue orders for the relief of the destitute as was found necessary. But the department of Alaska was merged with that of the Columbia, and the headquarters are now at Vancouver: and as orders must first come from military headquarters, half the people of Northwestern Alaska might die of starvation before govern mental relief could be furnished, ac- cording to this point of view.
 It may transpire that the number of destitute has been overestimated, but Shat the number is not inconSidcra ble can scarcely be denied. There are numbers of men still waiting in the expectation that government trans port will yet arrive. The hope is a vain one, as Major Booth has em- phatically stated that none would come to Nome this fall, as already published in the NUGGET.
 There are lots of supplies at Fort Davis for 200 men, with only one com pany, or about 100 men to consume them.

A meeting of the volunteer fire de- partment has been called by Fire Chief Palmer for Monday evening, October 28, at the engine house, for the purpose of recognizing the fire department, which is sadly in need of repairs.
 It is proposed to make the new de- partment just as efficient as possible. All old fremen in the city are re- quested to be present next Monday night, as we'll as those who have no eX- perience, but think they would like to acquire it. The importance of having an efficient fire depart ltment need not be pointed out.

The steamship Queen got away from Nome Wednesday morning at 9:25, just in time to miss a small storm, strong enough, however, to create heavy surf. The Queen probably had 600 passengers or over. including all kinds and conditions of men, and 100 or more who succeeded. it is said. in slowing themselves away with the aid of sympathetic passengers, who had paid for their passage.
 During the night dozens and scores and they got aboard the vessel as best they could, climbing the anchor chains and getting hold of ropes which kindly hands had fastened here and there from the ships sides. The officers and crew did their best to prevent the boat from being stOrmed, but toward the last the rush is said to have been 50 great that they were powerless. Many would be stOwaway, however, got sore head. as a result of his endeavOrs to secure a free passage to the south.
 The petty officers are said to have done thriving business in shipping passengers on their own several ac- counts, shaking them down. for what ever they could. One man shipped as secretary to the steward. His duties embraced writing the bills of fare. A sailor, an lrishman, shipped a com panion as captain of the forecastle" :" and so on. However, the steamship has plenty of supplies on board, and the stowaways will not go hungry.

NOme-St. Michael Cable Will Prob
 ably Be in Use During the Present Winter.

It is understood that the NOme-St Michael cable, which has been con- trOlled by the Northern Commercial Company since it was laid last year, has been turned over to the govern ment, who will exercise sole super vision hereafter.
 The cable is in good working order, and it is believed that it will continue to work all winter. The cable parted last winter some distance seaward probably because it was stretched too tight, and the fear that it will again part is not entertained.
