LET US GET TOGETHER.

After the battle of Appomattox had been fought and and the Union had been saved, General Grant exclaimed, |" Let us have peace," That is just what We need here in Northwestern Aaska-Pcace!
 For the past two years we have had war; rumors of war, bckerings, contention, strife heart burnings and heart renderings. We entitled, by of the battles have fought and the bloodless victories that we have won, to long and lasting peace.
 It is true that many of the encounters have been battles of tue wlndmlls, as harmless SO far as physical violence is concerned, as the memorable one which Don Quxote fought upon the plains of Spain. Nevertheless these fights have been wearing, well as exasperating. But they have not been entirely fruiless. some tangible results have been achieved. Right has triumphed, even if at considerable cost, and on the other hand wrong has been temporarily triumphant. But wrongs uumphs generally ephemeral Those which have been perpetrated in the name ol the law and under the aegis of justice will he rightod.
 Alaskans are forced to bear gijevous burdens some of which they bring upon themselves and some are thrust upon lhrm IAe latter have been most burden.ome because they stick closer than any brother. Killug tells Us that, though Kailr may die to him is renitted Jehaunum, If he borrowed in life from native of India at sixty per celt per annun. Ala,kons have borrowed trouble and toll at a much greater porcentum, bat they have paid both interest and principal
 TAealaUered hopes an ambitions, the reputatons that have been bc-ujgch,d, suppose are part and parcel of tie sacrifice which we have offered to false gods,
 1t is about time that we inlulsod in little retro spection Let Us do it >1odes,ly and ht-oe'oiualy If we do so we shall certainly be unit in con clusons First, let there be an end to all hickcyne- and strife; let the dead past bury it's dead; exercise the ghost of all deuuct issues bury the relics deeply We need clean page in our judicial history. Up the present time have not had it, neither NOyc. nor Wckersham made the ideal judge; hoh in our opinion erred grevously; but they gone ard now let the evil that they did be forgotten quickly aa possible. There is work enough for Alakans to do, if they will rise to the occasion. And in the first place let each do his best and attend strictly to his own business.
 We do not want to any more hear the cry, " To your tents, Israeli" We have had separation enough therefore, let get together.

POLICE AFFAIRS or NOME.

~ The city of Nome has had an administration of police affairs which, think, will compare very favoraby with that of many older and more stable communities. The police record is the standard to judge by. There has been marked decrease in crime and where it has been committed the offenders have been arrested with remarkable promptitude. The record is there to speak for itself. How many holdups have occurred in Nome since the police de- partment organized How many burgarie- have been committed? What is the record far as grand petty larceny, even, is concerned? Are not
 life and property just safe in Nome as in Seattle or Chicago? We think great deal more so, judging from peru:al of the crime records of those and other cities
 The police record which notes the absence of crime and the consequent safety and immunity enjoyed by the people speak in much louder tones than do few afidayits charging maladminisration evidently ol- taned not for the purpose of reforming abuses, real or alleged, but for the pccic object of venting petty personal grievances.
 No police department that ever existed was free Of criticism. The who is arrested never seems to have kindly feeling for the man who placed him
 in durancc, just as law breaker loves the law that is invoked against him.
 We say, without fear of successful contradiction, that None's police affairs, taken by and large, have been fairly and efficiently administered by Chief of Police Joey, his officers and the police committee of the ci;y council. We take this stand because the records show that such is the case. and the great majority of the people of Nome know it to be true. And long this is the case, the NUGGET will sup port any officials. municipal federal. who do their duty far as it within them lies. It will do SO be- cause it believes in building up rather than tearing down, and giving credit where i believes credit is due Eff iency and waic0ns.s on the part oi police officials imperative and so long thes, arc given honestly and iuariesly crime will hide is "Gniniahcd head.'

ANCIENT TABLETS OF CHINESE
Valuable Records Taken by an American Soldier
 During ths Late Troubles

Ten jade tablets on which almost 200 years ago the cunning hand of a Chinese workman engraved, by order of his imperial master, an acknowledg- ment of the wisdom, power and good ness of Shun Che, the founder of the Tartar dynasty in China, are all locked in the safe of Customs Appraiser John T. Dare, awaiting authority from Washington to return them to the emperor of China or his representative. The stones are one foot in length, six inches wide and nearly an inch thick. Through holes drilled across their width cords are passed to hold them together, and when taken by the customs inspector from private soldier returning from service in China they were wrapped in elaborate ly embroidered yellow silk. It is believed that they were taken as loot from the imperial apartments in the forbidden city.
 Recognizing their value to the Chinese ruler as descendant of the emperor whose deeds they commence rate, the customs authorities have noti- fled the secretary of the treasury and await notification as to the arrange ments he may have made with the department of state for the return of the tablets.

FAIR HEIRS TO RECEIVE ESTATE
Millions of the Late Bonanza Senator Will Be
 Distributed

The supreme court has declared the trust clause of the will of the late Senator James G. Fair invalid, and the property will be distributed to the children, Charles l.. Fair, Mrs. Her man Oelrichs and Mrs. w. K. Van derbilt. A few minor bequests are in the will. The Fair estate is said to be worth $2O, ,OOO,O
 It is stated the Fair children have expended nearly $2,O00,0O0 in gaining their case. It is also said the final decision of the case is source of re- gret to the lawyers.
 The Call has this to say: "Judge Patterson is said to have gathered in about $l0,0O0. Judge Hayne went his way with $25,000. James H. Budd got a snug little fortune of $100,000. The executors have to be content with only mere pittance of $1l5,000. Attorney Garrett McInerney recieved as reward for his services the sum of $l35,0 ,0OO. The law firm of Pierson, Mitchell & Carothers was turned away with $27O, ,OOO. The firm of Lolyd & Wood got approximately $1 ,OOO, ,OOO, but out of this sum they have to pay good round fees to Bishop & Wheeler, Judge Garber and Wilson & Wilosn. Knight X Heggerty will get about $3OO, ,OOO. Nobody knows what the estate is worth. It was at one time appraised to have value of $15 ,000, ,000. It is estimated now to be worth somewhere near SIS, ,000, ,0O0. The personal property is said to be worth about $9,OOO,O ,OOO. Most of it is in gilt edge bonds and stocks.

Great Salt Lake Sinking

The decline in the surface of Great Salt Lake is causing apprehension among the people of Utah. This in- teresting body of water has been steadily sinking for a number of years, but the causes of its decline are not well understood. It is thought by some that the lake is subject to circles of years of heavy and light rainfall, and that it is now undergoing one of its low water periods from which it will soon revive. The move- ments in the waters have also been thought to be related to the develop ment of agricultural and grazing in- terests which divert large quantities of water from the streams which feed the lake, for use upon the land. Dur ing past years the cutting of the tim Der on the neighboring mountains has been unusually heavy, practically destroying the forest protection of the head waters of a number of streams whose waters flow into the lake. The cutting of these forests is supposed to have injured the flow of the streams and thus to have affected the lake level. Great Salt Lake is the means of considerable resource to Utah and the value of property near the lake and certain lines of business are said to be unfavorably affected by its de- cline The matter is there considered of so much importance that the United States geological survey has been asked to make an investigation into it.
