ALASKANS MUST HELP THEMSELVES.

While Mir. George Murphy did not say directly in his interview with the NUGGET on Wednesday last it easily dernble from the tenor of his remarks that Alaska's most urgent need is unanimty among it's people. In other words, need to concentrate our efforts, not to scatter them. We quarre, too much among ourselves to exfect to accomplish much or to create favorable impression in. congress or with the administration. We are a good deal like a pack of hungry malamutes, We howl Justify, to be sure, but always ready to turn each upon the other and tear him to pieces. We quarrel by the book, and each other by bell. book and candle. We scatter too much we ask everything in the earth beneath the heavens above and the waters under the earth, and we recevc--nothng. And it serves right. There is apathetic people the face of this footstool than the people of North western Alaska. We take everything that may hap pen as a matter of course when 1t does happen we wonder why it should have disturbed the monotony of our existence then forget it and wait for thing else to stir bat little our sluggish blood And exist from day to day and from year to year. We talk, or the newspapers do, about the wrongs that done Alaska and the duties that congress fails to perform, and then quit.
 We do not like to say it. but we are lot of Nicawbers; eternaly waiting for something to turn up. Instead of trying to help ourselves, we constantly expecting government. which is in no wise paternal, to be father, mother and the whole family to us.
 We wrong, radically wrong. God helps those who help themselves it is said, and conditions in Alaska will be ameliorated when Aaskans, or those who claim to be such try to help Alaska. It is time to wake up and be doing.

The NUGGET is in. rece pt of many communications from various portions of the world making inquiries as to conditions in Nome and Northwestern Alaska The answer is not easily made. Nome and this sec tion is undergoing transformation. Conditions are 1899 and 1900 have departed. The era of "wldcat mining" of nhation and exaggeration has about dis appeared. With the close of this year it will have vanished forever Legitimate mining is taking the place of the surface scratching and the imperfect prospecting.

clares that such a system would be objec-
tionehle in itself and would he expensive if
not impracticable TO execute. Respectable
authorities express grave doubts Of the consti-
nationality Of the scheme. Of its viciousness as
a precedent there can he not a shadow of

States. A few days ago it put forward hints
and insinuations- entirely Of its own fabrica-
.ion-that he had agreed 10 its scheme as a
compromise. Now that he has made manifest
the falsity of those hints. il intimates that he
has broken his word. That is not uncharac-
rerisric operation-to utter falsehood about
man and then 10 charge him with falsehood
because he does not make that first falsehood
true. But il is not pleasant 10 have the trick
played upon the Chief Magistrate of the re-
public.
There is a certain amount Of chattering about
the Sugar Trust-not the Beet Sugar Trust this
time, but the old, original concern which was so
conspicuous and potent about the time the last
Democratic tariff was framed. Attempts are
made to break the force Of The Tribune's dis
closures Of IT'S growing interest in beet sugar
