FIRST SHIP OF THE SEASON.

There is much speculation as to the time of the arrival of the "frs steamer from the outside" Opinions are many and varied. There is the man, and woman, too who expect steamer to heave in sight nthe early days of May and there is the man who will unfeelingly tell you that Eff boat gets in byJune you will be in luck" Perhaps; but the average Nome person will decline that sort of luck, and prefer to take his chances on an earlier date. We are told that for the first time in ten twelve years Bering sea is blocked with ice hard and fast that travel between Asia and America is easy. This, it is claimed, isa sure indication that navigation of Boring will notopsn. until late,
 In 1S99 50 traditiorn tells us, the first boat-a small in getting through the ice pack and taking shelter in Nome river on June G. Steamers appeared some two weeks later. In 1900 the welcome smoke of the first steamer, the whaler Alexander, of San Francisco, was sighted on the morning of May 21 and about F o'clock she dropped anchor in the roadstead. And all the town turned out to welcome the first ship" Last year the good ship Jeanie poked her against the ce-pack two

miles out from shore at 10 o'clock the evening of May 24. And again the town gave the "frst ship" a hearty welcome.
 This spring two steamers on their nlettle, and each will endeavor to reach Nome frst. These are the Jeanie and tire Nome City, both well known in these waters The latter is scheduled to sail from Seattle next Monday the former, three days later. It is true that in navigating Boring in the early spring the is not c the swift it is to the strong and the daring Let us hope that both will speedily and safely reach ice-beeaguered denizens of the Berinp shore

POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE.

There is small doubt that should Alaska be given delegate in congress there will be plethora of can didates The privilege of seeking office is that is appreciated to the fullest extent by the American people, Be the office unmportant it will usually find some citizen who is perfectly willing to sacrifice himself upon the "altar of public duty"
 And after all, it is we'll that this is the case In the multitude of candidates there is safety, and the dear people have large field in which to choose. It is true that they occasionally select the biggest and fsttest-looking pippn in the orchard only to find that it has been visited by the canker worm. But such lesson teaches them that appearances frs quently deceitul and that man should be known by his works. People, rational people, do not expect to gather figs of thorns grapes of hstles, and the politician who assumes to be fig tree is soon at the end of his race if he produce nothing but thorns. This by way of digression
 To return to text. It is understood that Judge Wickersham will under no circumstances be candidate for congress. We glad to hear this, it assures his continuance upon the bench of young and promising country, where he can do, and is doing, incalculabe good.
 The NUGGET does not agree with contemporary which deprecated speculatng upon possible gressiona candidates, apparently for the sole-ex pressed that the pie in it's guttuous descent
 
 voured by neighbors of Southeastern Alaska.
 While such might be our fate it will do not particle of harm to be somewhat self-assertve The pieb bitter is usually the pe-hunter The office times seeks thu. .man, but pie never the man who eats it must hustle for it be content to go without it. This is the cold logic of the situation, it ap pears to us, on the Alaska political horizon.
 The NUGGET has heretofore suggested Judge Joh,. son emnently fitted for the position of delegate. We do not know whether he would accept it were it offered him many of his friends think not. Failing Judge Johnson. have Ira D. Orton. of the very brightest of the young lawyers of the Nome bar, but it is not likely that he would accept the honor. Then there is Attorney Albert Fink, a silver tongued spell.bind with warm Southern accent which would sound good in the house of rep resentatives coming from far-away Alaska. But Fink, too, would probably push the crown away.
 Of course we have Dr. J. J. Chambers, who seems to be political Bark:s without pavidity of any kind. 1 The good doctor would run on platform broad enough and long enous to get in on at all events The doctor is not compensated by reason of his late experience in Nome municipal politics, and with the cheerulness of a modern Mark Tapley to look upon it with unruffled equanimity. Therefore he announces that he will ride to Washington and put on the toga viris upon platform labeled "Miners' and labor ticket" The privilege is the doctors, pro- vded that the people are willing Full many bud ding genius of purest ray serene is overlooked by a foolish and gansa ying generation, who prefer Joys to statesmen. But this fact should discour- age Dr. Chambers.

Origin of the Word f." cuba >,

Cuba is the name by which the island
was originally known to the Lucayan
Indians, who were with Columbus
when he discovered 1t. One of the
villages or cities was called by them
Cubanacan. and it is reported that
from the similarity Of sounds Colum-
bus, still supposing himself to be On
the coast Of Asia, imagined that this
must be a city of Kubla Khan. the
Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco
Polo. The survival of the original
name for Cuba is n remarkable in
stance Of persistence. as the island has
been baptized and rebaptized many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called it Juana, in honor
of Prince John. the son of Ferdinand
and Isabella. After Ferdinand's death
ii was called in his memory Fernan-
dina. Subsequently this name was
changed to Santiago, after st. James.
the patron saint OF Spain Still later
it was named Ave Maria, in honor of
the Virgin Mary. But none of these
names held. and the Indian name Is
still Dreseryed.-Literary Era

A writer in the Forum says that pun
ishment for crime has much to do with
making criminals. This statement
seems paradoxical, but it is an indis-
putable fact. Hundreds may be saved
from life of crime by the proper ad-
ministration of the criminal laws. #
used to be thought that severity OF
punishment was the wise course, in.
deed the only method to prevent
crime Fear, no doubt, deters many;
but it is not fear that must be chiefly
relied upon to save men from crime.
Crime existed when men were drawn
and quartered, and when death was the
penalty not only for murder but for
many minor offences. II existed when
the death penalty was inflicted in pub.
lie places, and when the plucking out
Of an eye, the cutting off of the hand,
and various other kinds of torture were
common punishments. No man was
ever made better by being put in the
stocks. Severity is useful only in cases
in which reformation is hopeless. and
in which absolute removal from all
social intercourse liz therefore neces.
