HERE AND THERE.

Up in Yukon territory, which is a British poses sion, a paernal government looks with solictude after the welfare of it's people Time was when that section neglected but it was brief. For while miners mushcd miry trails with packs on their weary backs or dumb animals houndcred through rivers Of mud, packing the necessares of life to the dacent creeks at heavy cost to mine owners and operators. But this was in tho early days of the mining excitement and slow and cautious govern ment had not yet begun to act. Once satisfied, how ever, that the country capable of producing golden harvest immediate action taken system of road building to the different creeks inaugurated and tens of thousands of dollars have been expended in the past three years in providing passabe highways for the men who degeiopng the territory. Recently read that 300 being employed n building new roads in the Yukon. And this work is being done by the Dominion govern mcnt and not by the territory. The result is that new sections of mining country being opened up and the miner prospecor is not compelled to give up d half of his earnings make mule of himself in order to get supplies to his claim. In shor road building means that placer ground which is not phenomensy rich may be worked at profit. It enables supplies to be laid down at reasonable cost.
 h Alaska there is no laternal government to assist us. We must either help ourselves or do with out lelp. The result is that there is not road m Alaska except those that in the towns. Muddy trails oily found for weary and mu9lcrs.
 Given the opportunity to place mining supplies cheaply on hundred creeks contiguous to Nome, the gold output would be increased many fold The country in,order to bring forth it's golden harvest @ tue fullest extent must be made accessible. When this shall have been done problem of how 10 extract gold at minimum expense shall have been solved.

THE TELEGRAPH LINE.

According to an article published elsewhere in these columns, General Greedy chief signal officer of the United States army, states that Nome will be in tccgraphc touch with the great outside world' by March 1, next It may be, but without in the least intending to reflect in an adverse way upon General Greely's prediction, may be permitted to express doubts The necessary telegraph lines to enable us to communicate with civilization" will no doubt be completed some time year. provided the wire less telegraph experiment is success. Whether 1t will p2 remains to be demonstrated
 More than two years have elapsed since the gov ernment began building line of telegraph from Nome to St. Michael and from there up the valley of the Yukon, As result we have had two full years and more of disappointment The sections of line built have been comparatively vaueless. Last winter Capt to show how quickly he could receive a telegraphic reply to dispatch sent from Nome to San Francisco It took nearly four months.
 Patience and shuttle the cards" is d Spanish proverb, and most of us who have lived for any length of time in Alaska have learned the former, even if we know but little about the latter The time will come when Nome will have direct wire commun- cation with the United States. It will come, as we have said, some time next year Providence is kind and the government does not change its mind It will mean much for this section. The monotony of winter isolation will be broken and the daily import ant happenings of the world will be chronicled by TIE NUGGET.

That was certainly queer admission made by Detective Cody, while giving testimony in the suit brought against him by W. T. Flames. Detective Cody said Flames would swear to almost anything' 3 Probably few will be found to deny the statement, though he was the star witness in the late ''con- tempt" proceedings, and Johnny McGinn highly recommended him and Judge Wickersham put upon him the seal of approval.

The Trans Mississippi Congress is composed of an influential body of men, generally speaking and we are glad to note that it has taken up the Alaska boundary question and has memoriaized the govern ment to withdraw it from arbitration. As far as a territorial form of government is concerned we do not think there is any immediate danger of Alaska being burdened with it.

SIMPLY CAN'T BE DONE.

Senator HOar'S argument that the election of
United States Senator's by popular vote would
only be the entering wedge for the overthrow
of equal representation in that body has sug-
gested 10 Senator PenrUsc Il scheme for discrcd-
itinc the movement. Nobody will for an in
stant imagine that Mr.. .PenroSe really wants 10
have Senators elected by a popular vote. \
proposal of such plan by him would not be
regarded seriously. no matter how plausible the
plan might be in itself When he comes for
ward advocating popular election under per
fectIy impossible arrangement there cannot be
the slightest doubt of his purpose. In moving
to amend the House resolution for popular elec-
ton with provision that the Senate shall con
sist of two members from each State, and in
addition one member for every half million in
habitants in a State he is simply trying to kill
the original resolution.
The constitution cannot he amended as Sen
ator Penrose proposes. Article OF the CON
stitution provides that no State. without its
consent. shall be deprived OF its equal suffrage
lin the Senate" 1t is not conceivable that
Rhode Island and Delaware and Nevada and
half dozen other States would consent TO give
New-Y York fourteen and Pennsylvania twelve
Senators. in any way TO change the rule of
equal representation in the Senate. That equal
ity is a fundamental feature of our federal re-
public. ANY other change would be easier. IT
Congress and two-thrds OF the States wanted
10. they might abolish republican government
altogether far constitutional guarantees
go. but they could not change the federal char
acter of the nation. composed Of indestructible
States assured of equality in the Senate. The
functions of the Senate might be changed. its
authority reduced, its membership increased
but still each State would have TO have as many
members as every other State. unless il itself
abrOgated such representation.
There is not the slightest reason why the
question of popular election should be affected
be eventually broken down. 1t will be pre-
served just well with popular as with legis-
lative choice Of Senators; IS there any dan
ger that the spirit Of innovation will sweep
away the guaranteed representation Of the
smaller States Nothing but the consent of the
! small States to their own degradation or pop
ular revolution which would destroy the whole

urged. TO bring forward in place Of them i'm

THE CANAL COHPLTC4TTON At ALBANY.
The canal Improvement project is at present
exposedato dangers arising directly from the op-
position of interests among members of the
legislature who are Classed as friends of the
canal system. and indirectly from the intention
of other members to make the most in one way
cor another E the opportunity so presented. The
Senate bill cUntemplates IN expenditure of SOL
S00.G10 on tive Erie and Champlain canals; the
Assembly bill adds about S5.000O00 for the OS-
Wego Canal. II is understood that If the As
sembly bill sh0Ild pass that lR-Inch the Senate
would refuse TO adopt it without an amendment
striking out the additional appropriation, and
on the Gher hand il is asserted that there will
he votes enough in the Assembly 10 defeat any
IL easure which does not include the Oswego
scheme The latter statement n probably in
correct. but undoubtedly the complications are
suci, as 10 encourage opponents of canal i'm
prowament to hope that an adrof use Of their
parlia mentary resources will avail ar this late
stage, in the session TO prevent action on any
bill.
II VIII he unfortunate if those who believe
that the people ought to be called on 10 deter
mine the policy of the State in regard to its
canals attthe election in November fail TO agree
on a bill w hich will accomplish that object We
suppose there is 10 objection to saying frankly
that the pas sage of a bill incl7Iding the Oswego
proposition would not accomplish that object
for the reason that il would be vetoed by the
Governor. II follows that members who favor
the general policy of canal development can
gain nothing by standing out for an Oswego
appropriation. whereas they would lose credit
if they should permit themselves 10 be used by
those who want 30 defeat all canal legislation.
We trust that the real situation is fully COM
pretended at Albany. and that the men in con-
troll of the matter IN the Assembly will be per
suaded 10 take the course which the circum-
stances of the case so clearly prescribe.

MORE YANKEE ENTERPRISE.

Another such exhibition of American energy
that which made possible the famous Atbara
bridge contract is reported from Manchester
England. When in 1899 Mr Westinghouse
planned 10 establish there his extensive cleo
rrical factories It was believed that the mere
erection of the shops to say nothing of in
stalling the necessary machinery. would con
sumo several years. Construction has been
pushed, however, with rapidity that has con
founded the prophets and that has reminded
the onloOker of Aladdin's lamp. The contractor
in charge of the work, Mr.. Stewart. and half Il
dozen assistants were Americans but the
masOns 10 the number Of nearly four thousand
were English. These. 1t appears. during nearly
the whole period of their employment laid brick
al the rate OF 1.SO0 day OF nine hours, instead
Of sticking TO precedent which fixes 400 as the
limit.
To the very natural question, How was it
doneT' The Manchester Guardian replies in
substance as follows: From the very begin
ming Mr.. Stewart gave his personal attention to
the business. and required daily reports about
the workmon from his foremen and sub-fore-
men. He then Instituted wedding out process.
by which inside Of three weeks he brought the
average number Of brick laid ny each man up
20 900. The system was still kept in operation.
and eventually tho rate was raised To 1S0O. 1t
expected that the labor union would resent
proceedings Of this character. and II did. But
while Mr.. Stewart paid slightly more than the
union rate Of wages 30 cents an hour instead
Of 2O-he gave the organization TO understand
that he would have no Interference, The re
suit" says THE Guardian" "was peace with
honor"
Unquestionably the Yankee contractor dis
