How to Stop Drinking.

William PENIS keen understanding
was often directed toward drunken
ness. "All excess is ill.," he wrote,
"but drunkenness is of the worst sort.
In fine, he that is drunk is not man,
because he is so long void of reason,
that distinguishes a man from beast"
But if Penn was the living spirit OF
aphorism he also knew when and how
to apply his maxims. Given drunk
ard, he could treat his case in a char
acteristic yet plain and reasonable
way.
He was once advising man to
leave off his habit of drinking intox-
icating liquors.
"Can you tell me how to do it?''
said the slave of the appetite.

Convince me of that, and I will

Quaker, "when thou findest any vessel

open the hand that grasps it before
it reaches thy mouth, and thou wilt
never be drunk again. "-ErchGnge.

Some Facts about Flags.

To ''strike the fag' is to lower the
national colors in token Of submission.
Flags are used as the symbol of rank
and com mand, the officers using them
being called flag officers. Such flags
are square to distinguish them fro m
other banners
A ''hag of truce is white flag,
displayed to an enemy TO indicate a
desire for parley or consultation.
The white flag is sign of peace.
After battle parties from both sides
often go out to the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead under the
protection of the white flag.
The red flag is the sign of defiance,
and is often used by revolutionists.
In our service it is mark of danger,
and shows a vessel to be receiving Or
discharging her powder.
The black flag is a sign of piracy.
The yellow flag shows vesssl to be
in quarantine, or is sign of conta-
gious disease.
A flag at half mast means mourn
ing. Fishing and other vessels return
with a flag at half mast to announce
the loss of some of the men.
Dipping the flag is lowering it slight
ly and then hosting it again to salute
a vessel Or fort.
If the president Of the United States
goes af1oat, the American flag is car
ried in the bow of his barge or hoisted
at the main Of the vessel on board of
which he is.-Erchdnge

tive; study mems failures no less than
their successes.
Third-Be polite to all men, no

What Can a Boy Do?

A noisy boy from morn till night!

And make some other pathway bright,
Although Pm only small.
Oh, think, what can boy. do?
Well. now, I'Il try to tell
If but humble task be mine,
In household labor to combine,
The boots and shoes to black aud shine,
I'n clean them, oh, so we'll!
Oh, think. what can boy do?
Now don't despise boy,
He'll clean the knives and windows too,
Your errands he will run for you,
With willing feet and spirit true,
He's mothers pride and joy!
Oh, think, what can boy do?
Here in the temperance band,
To help the free to fight the foe,
To lay the cruel tyrant low,
And freedoms banner far to show,
A soldier he can stand!
Oh, think, what can boy do?
When tempted, even 1,
By Heavens help, can still refuse
The drops of fire and woe to use,
And sparkling water can choose,
With purpose brave and high.
Oh, think, what can boy do?
Life's battle he can win;
For Jesus, once boy below,
Will help us one and all to know,
The powers of wrong to overthrow,
And conquer self and sin.

Place the blame for the disorders, bloodshed and anarchy where they belong. The people of this com munity have shown that they are long-suffering and patient, or the methods of an incompetent, weak and vacillating judiciary would not have thus long been tolerated Out upon such shameless vacilla- ton and such intolerable weakness as has been displayed by the judi ciary of this judicial division.

THE NOME NUddET
lence follows where law and order

lence follows where law and order should govern.
 It is an unhappy condition of affairs, and one that is likely to grow worse as the days go by. It is, despite the many grievances under which the country labors, the duty of all law-abiding men to discountenanoe most strongly any acts of violence. No good will per manently result therefrom. Let their energies rather be directed in the line of securing an ameliora- ton of present conditions. Let order be maintained, but let noth- ing be left urdone to secure a judi cial change. For in that, we hon. estlv believe, lies the solution of the ills under which we sweat and groan. An utter disregard of law and its officials will brand the peo- pie of this section with the seal of outlawry. And we know that they should not be so branded.
 Let the disgrace rest upon the proper shoulders; let us protest to Washington; let us demand in the most emphatic terms for a redress of our grievances. Let us.do it at once, without delay or circumlocu- ton, but do not let the people of this section be placed between the upper and neither millstone. The opportunity is the peoples if they will but use it. In the meantime let law and order be maintained.

Had he been wise he would not have permitted himself to leave behind him such a legacy as that contained in the interview" we have referred to. If Judge Moves does not know that he can never be acceptable as a judge to the people of this judicial division of Alaska, then he is untitted to oe- cupy the place he yet fills. If he does know it, but still believes that his "touch-me-not, for Tam holier-than-thou" public statements will assist him in retaining his IL dicial position, then he IS even more unftted for the place.

REAPENG THE WIND.

The seed that has been sown in this judicial district for the past year or more, by a weak, vacillat- ing and incompetent judicial power, is beginning to bear fruit. While open acts of violence and utter disregard of law and the mandates of the district court have been numerous, no casualties re- suited, fortunately, until early Thursday morning, when armed men to the number of 8 half hun dred or more dispossessed eighteen or twenty others from the Cali fornia fraction" opposite the mouth of Snow gulch. As result one man has bullet in his leg. It is fortunate, indeed, that no fatali- ties resulted.
 The conditions in this section are alarming. The judge of the district court has gone to Wash ington to look after his judicial ex- istence; he went leaving behind him a tangled web of litigation which it seems is being unraveled with shotguns and rifles. Where 1t will end we do not know. We sincerel y trust that acts of violence may be frowned down upon and that disorder and anarchy will not be permitted to show it's hideous head. The people of this section have suffered much at the hands of the law and because of unscrupu- lous lawyers. but we do not think that there is justification for them to take the law into their own hands. There are pending dis putes over the right to the posses sion of property, and in many in stances the laws delays and the dilatoriness and weakness of the judiciary are responsible rather than the contending litigants. The injunction has succeeded the re- ceiver, and one party has been put in possession of a claim one day only to be ejected from it the next The result IS that men disregard the orders of the court and vio-

TIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The sum of S6,000 has been or dered transferred from the school fund to the general municipal fund. The school fund amounted to $11 ,O00 or thereabouts before this segregation. This leaves 5000 in the treasury. We apprehend that the board of school trustees will scarcely undertake the con struction of, a school house and maintain a school or schools at the same time with the funds now available. No more money will be paid into, the school fund until after Nov. 1. next, when liquor licenses will again become due. Besides, a quantity of school fur niture has been ordered, and this must be paid for. It, therefore, looks as if a rented building or buildings, as may be needed, must be procured for school purposes.
 There is no reason why the best schools should not be maintained in Nome, and we seriously ques- ton the wisdom of making any in- roads upon the school funds until such time as an estimate could have been made of the probable requirements for school purposes. One thing that the NUGGEr will insist upon will be the best equipped schools that are possible to be had for the education of the children of this section.

AS TO CLERICAL ENDOR SEnENTS

The straits to which Judge Moves and his few friends have been driven in order to secure "endCrse- ments" for him is evidenced by the fact that letters were secured from any clergyman who had sojourned in Nome even for a few days. It is alleged that the only old-time resi- dent clergyman in Nome, Rev. Wm. Davies, was importuned for a letter endorsing Judge Moves and his ad- ministration. It is also stated that the letter, which it seems. was given, was an altogether negative endorsement of the judge, Mir. Davies declining to stultify him self by even a, qualified endorse ment of Judge Noyes. On the other hand, 1t is stated that Right Reverend P. T. Rowe, Episcopal bishop of Alaska, gave Judge Moves an unqualified endorsement, referring to Noyes' enemies as tra- ducers and the like. While we entertain the greatest respect for Bishop Rowe, we submit that he was hardly qualified to give any other than the merest personal recommendation, since his sojourn of no more than a few days in this community this spring could hard ly enable him. to endorse Judge Moves and his methods, or even to class those who are opposed to him as traducers. Rev. $. Hall Young, D. D., general missionary of the Presbyterian church, we are also told. added his endorsement to that of Bishop Rowe. The remarks that we made above as to Bishop Rowe's competence to judge apply to Dr. Young. Both of them must be confessedly unacquainted with existing conditions with regard to the judicial situation in North western Alaska for the simple req son that few days sojourn in a community must be inadequate to enable them to speak for a ma jority of the people,.
 We confess to an old fashioned belief that the clergyman is a good man to keep out of politics. We have no quarrel with mission aries in Alaska or elsewhere, although upon occasion we might be com pelled to criticise their methods. We do protest, however, against any man, belhe clothed in broad
 cloth, in rags O. in sacerdotal robes, assuming to speak ex cathedra for any people when they themselves are ignorant of the peoples needs and of existing conditions. Such men have an undoubted right to express their personal opinions, even though those be founded upon prejudice and ignorance oi the facts; but they should not so far

Judge Moves states that he "first rendered the appointment of re- ceiver of the Anvil creek claims to James Matthews, but he was going outside and would not accept" This shows that James Matthews, whoever he may be, is a wiser man than the one who rendered him the appointment.

forget themselves as to denounce honest expressions of public opinion as the work of traducers. There is an old saying to the effect that the shoemaker should stick to his last. We suggest that the Alaska clergy man stick to his calling.

The results of Judge Noyes' "de- cisions" are like the fetwahs of a Turkish multi, inasmuch as they please nobody, not even the multi.
