It is intmated that shortly there may be change
 in the office of district attorney for this judicial divi sion. District Attorney Wood will not return, and rumor has it that Judge Wickersham will appoint his successor It is also intmated that John T. Me- Ginn, at present acting district attorney and for mery assistant to District Attorney Wood is said to be the man selected. Personally, so far know, nothing can be urged against Mir. McGinn, save and except his former association with District Attorney Wood In our opinion this should not operate against him. Mir. McGinn has been active in the discharge of the duties of his oce doubt he has tried to be as fair possible, and he has ability. We have felt constrained heretofore to criticse the district at torney's office for failure to prosecute cases That there has been pernicous activity in the prosecution of and absolute ignoring of others is we'll known. The records show it. But we are inclined to the opinion that the fault lay with Wood and not with McGinn. The conduct of the office under the direction of District Attorney Wood has not been to his credit to the best interests of the people of this
 judicial division. Any change therefore, must be in the line of improvement.

MASkANS MUST KEEP ASKING.

In recent issue of the NUGGET was published an interview with Capt J. B. Patterson of the steamship Senator, in which he maintained that Bering sea could be nayigated during the entire winter season with properly constructed ice boats There is no doubt of the tenableness of Capt Pattersons state msnt. His view is shared by many navigators, especially those who have had experience in hyper 6orean regions. We have little doubt that if Nome vas city of 5000 100000 people ships would be coming into Nome every week. at least during the winter season, but being small community it is, -perhaps toomuch to expect the government to make any appropriation for ice vessel suggested by Capt. Patterson.
 , Our Uncle Samuel is of many cares, and heavy burdens laid upon him. While we do not expect that he will build us an ce.breakng vessel to plough the ice of Boring sea, had thought that perhaps he would have sent life boat last sum- ner. We had thought that, perhaps, :n view of the number of lives lost every summer along this coast life saving stations might be erected at other points besides Nome. But were mistaken Probably all the old life boats are in use and could not be spSrsd; orperiaps they sent to Porto Rico and the Philippines to save the Tagals from drowning in the surf thus giving them other opportunities to use their bolos on American soldiers
 We did not ask congress for an appropriation for
 
 thecsuse we knew it would be useless. We who have lived in Alaska for any length of time, know that when have asked congress for fish they have given .ua stone; when asked for flesh they gave us a sscorpioar; when asked for justice they gave us 'tlae marble heart.
 i've do not know that congress is much to blame flor the treatment to which this section of Alaska has been doomed. The people apathetc to degree, fperhaps because they only look upon themselves temporary sojourners in strangsland, and 'tesltto 'let things drift" without protest This is not right it doesnot indicate the highest type of citizenship Every good citizen should be interested ! in all that tends to make the community in which he s.a factor. Those conditions will no doubt be changed when men realize that they likely to become permanent residents. There will be a per manent population in Northwestern Alaska and swhen this becomes demonstrated fact we may look for more interest to be taken in national and terri torial affairs.
 One of the most apparent needs is delegate in congress; it is right, and we believe that every personwho feels any interest in the district should use his influence to this end The Lord helps those who help themselves, i is said, and one rarely gets snything unless he asks for it. If want congress and the government to do anything for us, therefore we will have to cry aloud and spare not we must lift up our voices like trumpcts.

CClTY GOVERNMENT IEAKAGES.

The statement was made at recent meeting of the city council that the city had lost $10OOO since last spring bya lax system of conducting civic busi- aess. This statement is most astounding one and :alls for comment. We have heretofore had occasion revert to city affairs and city finances believing hat it is the duty of public newspaper to do so. That there should be leakage of $1OOOO of the peo- les nancy during the few brief months of the exist
 nee of the town as an incorporated city almost asses belief If this be so there must have been in he employ. of the city a gang of as unprincpled peters and grafters as disgraced New York in he days when Boss Tweed ruled. Some of the city apartments we know have been conducted econom- ally Among these is the health department. We ave noticed that these bills have been moderate and le accounts have been specific and complete. The office department too, to have been fairly con- ucted, so far as the management of the city jail and maintenance are concerned. We are not speaking its effectiveness. great deal of criticism is di-
 cted at the management of the fire and street. de- .rtments: The former, we are told, has an expense count of some $2,6OO for putting the building now cupied as an engine house and offices for the city
 Mk, city assessor and fire chief into shape; the cost
 planking the streets has also been denounced time

Complaints arc made that horses and mules have been turned out by their inhuman to starve. It is scarcely conceivable, yet such is undoubtedly the The city council should take immediate action, pass an ordinance establishing pound and appointing poundmaster. The animals are at leas good for dog neat and they will bring enough pay the mpounding fees. As for the of the beasts, if the brutes be found they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

ANOTHER DISAGREEMENT FOLLOWED.

The case of the United States against J. T. Price, oh charge of rioting has met with the same fate that which overlook similar against J. W. Griffin only few days before. The jury failed to reach an agreement. No who was at all familiar with the case and the circumstances leading up to the alleged riot expected that jury could be found who would convict the men indicted by the grand jury These circumstances have been heretofore stated in the NUGGET, and need not be repeated A criminal docket If the district attorneys office is desirous of saving the government great deal of
 pense the will be dismissed. So far as saving the expense goes we are not very much concerned, but it seems to that it would be the proper thing to the indicted few dollars each, for if the attorneys. This may be deemed advice which tends to take away possible~ fees from attorneys; it may also be deemed mpertinent by the district attorneys office, but it is given with the freedom though it would be heartily welcomed.
 These riot" cases relic of what fervently hope is dead past While we believe the voice of
 the great maorty of the people of this section is for the strices observance of law and order it is also evident that the 'Glacer creek rot is viewed with feeling of leniency by most. Let the dead past bury it's dead. Riots springing from the same or similar causes that actuated the Glacier creek demonstration are not likely to occur again. The has been removed and venture to say that so long as this is the will dare to forciby and wan tonly trespass upon the rights of another.

 Yesterday.

The case brought by the Shippers and Buyers Association of Birming- ham against the Alabama Car Service Association to force the latter to pay damages at the rate of s1 per day for ! each days delay in the delivery of loaded cars. was heard by the Ala bama Railroad Commission yesterday, and resulted in victory for the Ship pers' and Buyers' Association. This case has attracted considerable attention because of the correspondence between the Shippers and Buyers As sociation and the Railroad Commis- sion. and the argument of the cause attracted a considerable audience to the rooms of the Commission at the Capi- tol. Messrs E. H. Cabaniss. s. P. King. Nelson of Bitmin gham and oth- CTS. argued fo- the Shippers and Buy CTS Association, and Messrs. W. A. Moody, J. L. welch and C. s.

After hearing the evidence and carefully considering the same, we are of the opinion that the complainant is en- titled to the relief prayed for. It Is therefore. ordered that the Alabama Car Service Association put In enect in the State of Alabama the following rules:
 When any railroad company falls to deliver at the depot, or to place loaded cars at an accessible place for unloading, within forty-eight hours (not including Sundays and legal hoii- days), computed from 10 o'clock a. m. the day after the arrival of the same, and the charges thereon. the shipper or consignee shall be paid N for each day said delivery is so delayed; pro- vided. that no penalty shall be imposed upon a railroad If delay in placing cars is caused by the condition of the weath- CT or other circumstance not due to the negligence of the railroads, and, provided further. that such charges shall be paid by the railroad actually causing the delay. It is further or dered that certified copy of this or der be furnished Major w. A. Moody, the Manager of the Alabama Car Ser vice Association. and the Shippers and Buyers Mutual Aid Association of Bir- mingham, Ala, and that this order be entered upon the minutes of the Com mission.
