The large increase in our railway
mileage, from 90, 900 miles in 1870 to
200, 600 miles in 1901, has so developed
our West, our Southwest, our North
west and our South, that the value of
our farm products increased from two
and half billions of dollars in 1870
to four and three quarter billions of
dollars in 1900. This railway extern
sion has also immensely assisted the
assembling of orr mineral and other
natural products, for the purpose of
manufacturing
The product of coal, for instance,
increasedfrom thirty two million tons
in 1850 to two hundred and ninety
million tons in 1901. Pig iron from
under two million tons to over thir-
teen million tons. Steel from less
than seventy thousand tons to over
ten million tons.

Jersey lawyers are not permitted
TO practice in New York, and New
York lawyers should not be permitted
to practice here. Clients who engage
New York lawyers in this state are
not properly protected, as the foreign
lawyers do not know the practice in
this state, and their clients are the
sufferers. y

Satisfaction has been freely ex-
pressed in Republican circles in
Union County. and especially in
Plainfeld, at the generally harmon
ious workings of the Belvidere Con-
vention and the denomination of
Congressman Fowler.
1t was toregone conclusion that
Mr.. Fowler would be renamed, just
a; it is foregone conclusion that he
will be reelected, There is little
doubt as TO the issue, except as to
numerical count Mr.. Fowler stands
just as firmly in the hearts of the
Republicans of the new Fifth District
as in the old Eighth.
Every good Republican should feel
thai the right thing has been done.
We are glad that it was. Mr. Fowler
certainly deserved it, and he de-
serves also the support of every man
in the district believing in good
government and a continuance of
our excellent administration. -

The Republicans of the Fifth Dis
trict have renominated Hon. Charles
N. Fowler for Congress. This was
what was expected and it was a
wise thing to do.
A member of Congress gains strength
with age. A new member spends his
first term in learning how the COM
plicted ma chinery of Congress works
and it is only by retaining good
men that district becomes strong.
Congressman Fowler has made a
national reputation during the time
would be a loss to this State and a
loss to Congress if he had not been
renominated.
Mr.. Fowler has made special study
of the financial condition of the
country and his services as member
and chairman of the Committee on
Banking and Currency have been APP
preciated all over the country. The
bill he has prepared to remedy some
existing evils is the most comprehen-
sive and far-rea ching proposition that
has been presented since the National
banking system was created. 1t would
be great loss to the nation if he
were not at the head of the committee
that will consider the matter in the
next Congress, for no one is more
familiar with the details of banking
and finance in this country.
Mr.. Fowler has made q study OF
finance for many years and has served
eight years in Congress, is a good
public speaker and in every way O
competent member of Congress and
there is no reason to believe that he
will not be reelected by handsome
majority. Jersey City Journal.

The Press on Fowler.

Congressman Charles N. Fowler
has been nominated, for the fifth
consecutive time, as the Republican
candidate for member of the House
of Representatives from the district
of which Union county is part.
There was no opposition, no show
of opposition, but perfect and en-
phatic unanimity. The action of the
convention contradicts every report
that has hitherto gone abroad, to
the effect that Union County is rent
by factions and that Mr.. Fowler is
strongly opposed in his own county.
The work of the convention was a
compliment paid to Congressman
Fowler, such as has never before
didate for Congress Five nomina-
ing, and to the highest dergee com
plimentary all the more SO because
the nomination made on Saturday
last was made in new district, two
counties of which have never as yet
voted with Union County for mem
bers of Congress.
President Roosevelt and his policy,
the policy of the late President Nc
Kinley, land the general policy of the
administration must be Sustained.
A Republican Congress is the only
Congress that can be of any advan-
tage to this country, andEa Republican
Congress is the only kCongress that
should be IN power while tariff re-
form and the currency and recipro-
city are under consideration. A Re-
publican Congress is the only Con-
gress that will continue prosperity,
and this new Fifth Congressional
District must do its full duty in the
premises, by electing Charles n

THE SNAKE RIVER BRIDGE.

The owners of the Snake river bridge seem to bt placed in an anomalous position, more anomalous in deed than the promoters of the proposed bridge find themselves. The latter gentlemen may not be permitted to build bridge but Judge Moore of the district court lntlmated plainly, in refusing the pro prletors ot the bridge an injunction to restrain a possible competitor from building another bridge that the owners of the bridge in existence have no franchise. This means, if it means anything. that
 they have been conducting an illegal business they have been exacing tolls without the shadow of law to sustain them.
 The criminal statutes provide than any person who obstructs a navigable stream (by building a bridge, or otherwise) without first having obtained the consent of the secretary of may be proceeded against on criminal charge, and if convicted the offender may be fined in not less than $500 or more than $250O, or he may be subjected to both fine and imprisonment.
 As the bridge matter now stands attempt to build another bridge would probably invoke criminal procedure under the statute; and conversely, at tempt the part of the to collect tolls may result in similar prosecution.
 HE NUGGET comedies that the owners of Snake rver bridge have certain moral, if they do not have legal rights No douh they invested their money in good faith. l; they chose be ultra exactng it was their own business, since they doubt considered that "they may take who have the power, and those may keep who can." Their errors of judgment, to put 1t mildly, have carried lesson. We would like to sec the controversy ended for all time and it may be that solution of the difficulty may be reached. If the gentlemen who own the bridge will be satisfied with fair price, and will give reasonable terms. we submit that the city might acquire the bridge. The means and method of payment, so far tho city is concerned, could, we believe be sas- factorily arranged

AS TO QUARTZ LEDGES.

"ln ten years from today, fifty quartz mills and of Nome" said mining optimist the other day. Then he proceeded to give the for the hope that was in him. He quoted from Job. using the words of that sorely afflicted ancient for a text
 Surely there is vein for silver, but gold is where they fine it." The Nome man talked of Butt. and other Montana mining camps and cited the wonderful developments made after Montana as placer section had been practically exhausted There is ground for belief in the quartz future of Sew ard peninsula. But 1t will take time to demonstrate the existence of true quartz veins. That they exist believe and if this is the case, that they will be developed we know. Some mineralogsts who hay. casually examined certain sections of Seward penn- sula have stated that there quartz lodges here others have said they did not know. Certainly the latter told the truth. It will be admitted that quartz lodges not protruding their heads, so to speak and inviting inspection. The topogra phical con- dtions not favorable. The country is covered as rule, with deep growth of moss, which hides everything beneath. Still alleged lodges have been found. Practical miners have pronounced them favorable. Further than this we know nothing Development work and the expenditure of money will demonstrate the fact whether quartz lodges that valuable do or do not exist. The indications are favorable, and we will say ta@t nowhere is there more alluring field for the quartz prospector than that which Seward peninsula presents.

A QUESTION OF PATRIOTISM.

Are Aaskans patriotic ?' This question was propoundef the other evening" and immediately there began discussion by no means one-slded. Those who espoused the patriotism oi the citizen of Alaska had the weight of the argument on their side, though it freely admitted that many reasons there were why citizen of this great territory should not be boiling over" with the fires of patriotism.
 In his speeches the past summer and fall. it was noticeable that President Roosevelt only ,ct him self the task of directing te thought of the teople the proper restraint of corporations but he preached many short sermons patriotism and civic duty, and they were interesting and inspiring The people to whom he spoke probably ccedcd these sermon. AS much as do the people of Alaska. In their sub stance there nothing new, but Mir. Roosevelts earnest personality gave them freshness And they have the reinforcement of his own example Every man has duties to perform citizen of great gov ernment; no amount of talk and of good resolutions will mak. the public service strong and pure; must rases~t the laws and enforce them; we ought to be proud of good public servants; owe our loyal thanks to army; we have reason to be proud of our navy; our history is inspiration popular government can be no better than the character of the people; and the character of the people rests on the simple life untsinted by luxury. After all the "rich and the mighty are not the people" of the United States It they were, we might fear for the future of the republic. Upon the great common people" rests the safety and integrity of the nation These patriotic, solid and substantial, unfettered and unpampered. They not seeking spoils--the heshpots Of politics.
 In Alaska we are cut off from all politics, speak ing largely. Having neither voice vote in the nat onal congress, without representation of any kind suffering from ills and disabilities for which we are ih no wise responsible, yet patriotic. Our patriotism may be -epressed, but it is dead. For though we have been treated a stepchild and with cold disdain, there is "ght in the darkness"

ISSUES THAT CONFRONT US.

When the last advices reached us from the states the political campaign at its height, and, while n most of the states the leading questions were most ly of local character, still the thread of national issues to come was distinctly visible. Two years hence another presidential campaign will have occurred. The issues, beyond the shadow of perad- venture, will be "the trusts" and tariff revision Among the great mass of the people of the United States there is difference of opinion to the resu- lation of the trusts but when it comes to "tariff tnkering" the supporters of the extreme protection idea, call it, there is q wide divergence of opinion.
 During the last year of his life Mir. Mckinley set out with a deliberately planned exposition of a single great idea. He held that we have passed the period of isolation; that part of the great world of politics and of trade; that we must broaden ideas and old trade philosophy and tariff philosophy must bc changed to fit the new conditions Up to the day that he was shot MT. Mckinley ex- pounded this dominant idea. He was leading the thought of his country Gnd of his party to awder and higher policy. No president within recent times had ddevsred directly e the people so.'important message.
