MONIES YELLOW "NE.WS."

To find fault with contemporary is, to us neither pleasant desirable task. We hay. always assumed that the methods employed by any newspaper mana cement, so long as they were within the bounds of decency matter. that solely con- cerned the management. But when newspaper real or alleged dcscends to connecting "fakc news and thereby wilfuly, malciously and foolishly de ceiving attempting to deceive its readers aud the public 1t Is meet and proper that protest be en- tered This is the unenviable predcament ill which the Nome "News' finds itself today. It is guilty of manufacturing news" and palming it off upon the people of Nome the real article. In its efforts to be sensational it has descended to trick which no reputable newspaper would tolerate for moment.
 We refer specifically to an article which appeared in Tuesdays issue of the News" under flaming headlines, which recited: "The Entire British Army Called Out" The Whole of the South African States Have Combined Forces Great Excitement in Lon d)n," etc., etc. This delectabe bit of news" pur- ported to tell how the Boers had recently fought "pitched battles" with the English and had invari- ably won; how ''thousands were taking up arms and rushing to the front j" how the "situation" so "serious that the British office compelled to draw out the last reseryes-the yeomanry;' how Germany had recognized the Boer republic as bel ligerent nation;" how intense excitement prevailed m England, ana now NthOuSa1lQS upon thousands were offering their services" and a lot of other rot just silly and untruthfu. And then the story ended thus "Ihe above information was receive l by Olaf Jackson in letter from Dawson dated Nov. 13."
 The NUGGET here and now states as plainly and 'emphatically as words state that neither Olaf Jackson nor any other man in Nome ever received such letter. The NUGGET also states just as em- nhafi hat he the artioa nd deliberately fosted it upon the people,
 The NUGGET also states that it will give the sum of one hundred dollars to the relief fund of this city if the News" will take the trouble produce proof of it's explanatory statement or if 1t will produce "Olaf Jackson, he to make affidavit that he re- ceved the letter and show the original.
 The NUGGET knows that the News cannot pro- duce it's proof. If it can, here is chance for it to vindicate itself and aid good cause.

HE NUGGETS NEWS SERVICE.

In the last mail the NUGGET received copies of the Dawson Weekly News of Oct. 9 and Nov. j; also copies of the Seattle Times and san Francisco Ex- anner of Oct. l4 last, besides clippings from vari- ous newspapers from its correspondents in Dawson, Seattle and San Francisco. The outside news pub lished by the NUGGET is reliable it's local news aims to be the same. For than two years past the writer has published newspaper in Nome, and in no single instance can anyone truthfully say that "fake" news was knowingly fosted upon the people. Early last fall the NUGGET completed arrangements for the prompt transmission of news from Dawson, Skagway Seattle and San Francisco, and its readers and patrons may depend upon finding the latest and most reliable outside and local news in its columns

AGAIN THE CRY OF GRAFT.

No sooner has there been fund raised for the re- lief of the destitute in Nome than the cry of graf has been raised. Men who have devoted their time to the work of charity have been censured and criticised by people who ought to know better The absurdest allegations have been made concerning the disposition of the fund and the manner in which it is being distributed. Whether better plan than that which is being pursued could have been devised is open to question. But people, and especially intel ligent people. should remember that the matter of afordng relief to the needy, that is the distribution of relief in that will bring the greatest good ito the greatest number of the deserving is one which for many years has vexed those who have made study of the subject. How to reach the deserving poor and how to avoid being imposed upon by the undeserving the idle and vicious has been subject sof intelligent discussion for a century past
 It is not to be wondered, therefore, if the gentle men who have undertaken this work in Nome from of duty should grow restive at the caving and the carping criticism, which they know full we'll they have not merited.
 It is easier to tear down than to build up We do not say that mistakes have not been made, but we never knew man who never made mistake and we have read of but one and he died nearly two ,thousand years ago.
 This cry of graft which is being raised we Know to be most unfounded and unreasonable. But it might have been expected. We have heard it, in Nome, for two years and more, and expect to hear it for some time to We have heard it SO often that we have ceased to pay but little attention to it. If we believed peculatons prevailed in the discharge of any public trust would unhesitatingy denounce tiose engaged in it. But we have long since ceased to regard idle vaporings and assertions as proof It is stated as well that some of those who have h.en receiving relief at the hands of the committee
