A HELOT OF MANKIND.

THE NUGGET feels aversc to introducing personal- ties into its columns Its editor i.at reared in that newspaper school which species of alleged aournali,s of debauched principles and fagitious practices affect For year more past couple of sfagworms by the name of Steal, one of whom man ages" the Nome News from Seattle, while the other does alleged similar duty n Nome, have seen fit to indulge in the emission of foul gas directed at TIr NUGGET. The reason for it is not hard to find. It was begoten in the small and dense minds of the Steals because.ic elder Steal had been chcckmated in game of plunder which he cssaycd to play.
 The other Steal who poses "edor and manager" of the News for a brief season alleged ,clerk of the district court, te was appointed after .the lowest kind of plotting conceived by human apawn, af which heis a fair type had been brought intospay to the removal of Geo. V Borchsenus aincs,rospponted to his former position by Judge Moore Without either brains or ability of any kind this Steal held the position, given him by Judge Moves, until couple of months ago. The furiously lhatulent little fbbersib busted from his position and what few brains he had completely gerryman- .dered by reason of the intense mental strain" he underwent in standing around the court house floor 4and trying toook wise, wrote caused to be written in the boiler plate dodger which he manages, what aprobably intended to be tribute 10 Judge Wick ershan. On the contrary it the act of gbbous- Hheadsd ass, the maunGerings of twocent assassin with quill pen for dirk and having access to of type This is how this small counterfeiter of folly in cap and bells refers to the who rescued ahim from the oblivion of tie street and gave him iposition

 Now comes this little gasteropod, the smallest ;gsmmue that by any concatenation of cruel circumstances held public office, even in Alaska, and ke the sibcat that he is, pours forth columns of scurrlity against TIE NUGGET ostensibly because it indnlged in open honest aboveboard criticism of Judge Wickersham. What TIE NUGGET had to say about Judge Wickersham said in q manly ifashion 1t descended scurrility or sounded the depths to search for lies Its criticism of Judge Wickersham made while he in Nome, and where he might hear it and read it for himself. And it was not couched in lying or mistaken terms.
 THE NUGGET criticised Judge Neyes it criti- .cissd Judge Wiokershans course and it criticised him with the same fearlessness and honesty that .sctuatsd it's course toward Judge Wickersham, be- .cause it felt that it's criticisms were just and properly directed. and time has shown that such the
