WORK FOR THE GRAND JURY.

Tlere are several alleged abuses into which the next grand jury should make searching investigation The most important matter in our opinion IS the conduct of the offices of United States court com 1ssioncrs and recorders We have reason to believe that number of commissioners have conducted their offices in manner which reflects credit upon neither themselves the judicial district If we are to be- lieve the statements openly made, there commis sioners in the district who law unto themselves. and who have used their offices for the attainment of their personal eIds, and for personal gan That some of them notoriously incompetent, we know; that they corrupt, we believe.
 There seems to be belief shared by the average Alaskan official, of high or low degree, that faith full and honest discharge of the duties of the office to which he may be appointed is not to be expected He is in office simply flor what there is in ,' and very frequently in his desire to graft" everything in sight. he becomes brazingly defiant and utterly oblivious to public opinion. The case of R. H. Whipple, United States commissioner at Unalaska, ii in point. That malodorous individual seems to have overlooked nothing that might bring little Qrist to his little mil He has been pernciously active in the pursuit of ees his methods of operation have been coarse, that the people of his small \ baiiwick could stand his methods no longer, and when the grand jury met at the recent term of court ct UnalaSka It had the backbone to ueHOunCe tnlS
 miserable petty grafter, and recommended that he be dismissed from office. It is pity that the grand jury did go further and indict him; nevertheless, they are to be congratulated upon at least making attempt to secure cleanliness in official places.
 There is ample for similar investigation here, and sincerely trust that the next grand jury which meets in Nome will be composed of men who are not afraid to stand for right with the courage to .dsnounce official rottenness wherever it may be found. We believe in the motto, Alaska for Alaskans,' and in holding government officials, be they whom they may, to a strict accounting. We regret to state that experiences with and knowledge of federal officials in Alaska not to the credit of either themselves the administrations which ap pointed them. As rule they have been the sorriest assortment of freaks, incompetents, and worse, that ever inflicted suffering public. But the experiences of the past bearing fruit.
 " Wehave had some good and honest federal officials We will have more, for the dishonest have sometimes learned to their that the people of Alaska quick to discern the evil of official ways and to de- nounce them just promptly. The people also are ready to commend the official who demonstrates by his actions that he "deyiseth not evil against his neighbor seeing that he dwelleth securely by him.'

A BRAY FROM PUGET SOUND.

Nil nsi nlortus bonunl--of the dead, nothing but good. Therefore we had not intended to again refer
 to Judge Arthur II. Moves, but editorial article in tho Tacoma Evening News of August 30, last, is so utterly devoid of truth and steeped with ignorance that brief notice of its contents becomes necessary. The Tacoma paper. with an inspiration that is evi- dent to casual reader, attributes the "attacks on Judge Noyes' to the "yellow journals of. San Francisco and "rng of conscenceless looters with headquarters in California" Coupled to this are such epithets moral assassins and the like all of which goes to show that the Tacoma papers in- sprationst must have dashed himself into a very fury. We are somewhat surprised at this, for the News is generally fair and usually bright. However, in the article referred to it to have slipped cog and its tirade is marked by asnine stupidity and dsnse ignorance. There is scarcely sta cement made

ORIGIN OF THE WORD NOME.

According to statement made by Professor George Davidson, that distinguished gentleman thinks that he has solved the or gin of the name Cape Nome. Professor Davidson has taken considerable pains and has made quite extensive research in arriving at what he calls satisfactory solution. The name he says, was due to in the making of the chart of the coast by the Sir John Franklin expedition In letter recently written, Professor Davidson says:
 "Durng the last four years have had numerous inquiries concerning the origin of the name Cal e Nome, on the northeast coast of Norton sound, Alaska l searched every available chart and narrative of that region to trace home. traced it back to admiralty chart No. 2,172 of 1853, being the earliest to the It is not in the great atlas of Tebenkof of 1S4S-52, devoted to the North Pacific. l looked up the tracks of the Sir John Franklin rescue ships, her majesty's frigate Herald and brig Plover (1S45-5l, and became satisfied the given in the cruises of or other of those vessels.
 "A short time since I wrote to the chief hydrog- rapher of the admiralty and asked if the Nome appeared among the lists of officers of the Herald and Plover. Today have letter from the hyrographer of the admiralty, dated London, August g. which tans this staement When the manuscript chart of this region being constructed on board her ma jesty's ship Herald, attention drawn to the fact that this point had name, and mark | {? Name) was placed against it In the hurry of dspaching this chart from the ship this appears to have been put in by rough draughtsman, and ap- peared Cape Name, but the stroke of the "a" being very indstinc it was interpreted by draughtsman here as C. Nome, and has appeared with this name ever since. This information Is from officer who was on board the Herald when the chart being constructed'
 "So the mystery of the name has been satisfactorily solved"
 Professor Davidsons theory as to the origin of the is plausible. Indeed it may be the correct one he certainly is excellent authority on geographical names and derivatons. But up here at Cape Nome itself we can offer just as plausible and reasonable solution of the ori gin of the name as does Professor Davidson The native of this section when asked question that he does not understand,
 if he says anything invariably replies, "ka .' meaning, "I don't know," or "I don't understand" It
 reasonable to suppose that away back in the early history of this country that the natives, who were frequently on board whaling and other vessels which came regularly to Boring sea- might have replied, when asked the name of the rugged hsadland now called Cape Nome, 'ka- no mel don't know Thus it might havo been that the mariner of early days easily understood the native to mean Cape Nome and hence the name by which it is called We think this solution of the to be correct notwh standing the opinion of an erudite professor. His solution, while plausible. as we have said, is lame
 nasmuch as he relies upon the statement of a naval officer alone while we, at least have the synonym of the name direct from the native language.

The HERALD would respectfully
call attention of the county guar
dams to the complaint in its To
cano letter, published elsewhere In
these columns today, of the ped
der nuisance. II does not seem
far that these perambulating mer-
chants should be allowed To COM
pete with the Legitimate trade OF
the county, when the latter pays a
regular license, while they are
untaxed. So long as an occupation
tax is enforced by the state law, it
is not right that psddlers, who pay
no license, nor any other tax
whatever, should be allowed to
carry their wares about and under
mine the trade of our merchants
who not only pay an occupation
tax, but also either pay property
tax or else contribute TO it by pay
ing rent. IL there be any law tax
ing these itinerant traders, it
should be enforced, and if there
be no such Law, one should be
made to fit the case.

The attendance at Polls, afternoon and evening, continues large this week. The attraction is the excellence of the variety bill and the special presentation of vitagraphic pictures of President McKinleys funeral These pictures are remarkable for their accuracy and the judicious manner in which the machine was adjusted to obtain the most inter- esting and important portions of the cortege at Buffalo, Washington and Canton. One view in Canton is very impressive, being that of the casket as it is borne from the church to the hearse. The Washington view gives the entire procession and panoramic view of the thousands of people in the White house grounds. While in Cam ton the machine obtained an excellent picture of President Roosevelt which is shown with the others
 In the variety bill fun reigns in every act. The Fillmore sisters have ludi- crously jolly skit, "The Adventures of Bridget McGuire,' and John W.

 It is one of the finest things for nurs- ing mothers that l have ever seen. It keeps up the mothers strength and 1n- creases the supply of nourishment for the child if partaken of freely. l drank 1t between meals instead Of water ana found it most beneficial.
 Our five-year old boy has been very delicate since birth and has developed slowly, He was white and Dloouiess, I began to give him Postum freely and you would be surprised at the change. When any person remarks about the great improvement, we never fail to tell them that we attribute his gain in strength and general health to the free use of .Postum Food Coffee. and this has led many friends to use it for themselves and children.
 I have always cautioned friends to whom I have spoken about Postum, to follow directions in making it. for, un- less it is boiled fifteen or twenty mln- utes, it is quite tasteless.
