SOMETHING OF A PARADOX.

Resolved, That we opposed to the interfer- ence of United States federal officials in party poIi tics, for this division and District of Alaska; and of the interference of said officials in the management and control of local affairs"
 The above resolution was passed Wednesday after noon by a secret caucus of alleged republicans.
 It is pleasing to note the active interest displayed by these republicans in desiring complete system of home government, but at the same time we venture the suggestion that goodly number of those who ''resoucd" would oppose territorial government were it offered The reference to "nterference of federal officials in the management and control of local affairs is somewhat misty in view of recent local de- velopments. We the objection to this inter ferencc the part of certain federal officials" is based on the fact (and this is also assumed from re- cent deveopments) that a lucrative graft has been interfered with We may be wrong in this surmise but as we have remarked the developments" war rant the assertion. It would also appear that few men dominated the secret caucus, and that another of the "nercrences" may be based upon the fact that gambling has been stopped by certain federal officials. That these federal officials acted under in- strucons received directly from Washington, had no bearing upon the resolves and deliberations of this branch of the local republican party is evident And then the caucus immediately proceeded to indorse federal office holder and ex-ederal flee holder as delegates to the national convention.
 If TIE NUGGET were partisan newspaper, it could afford to view with great deal of equa11nty the brand of hunger and harmony displayed in re- publican factonal party politics. But as ii is an independent newspaper in all that the term implies and because it is vitally interested in Alaska it de- plores the exhibition of spirit which can bring no real good 10 those who foster and foment it.

governed by the hsh iiterost either of Eastern or Western bankers of the whole body and the peo- pie will to it that it is not. The proposed simple provision for giving fudity to government reve- and bank circulation will not we trust, be enact ed because it is favorable to New York defeated because the West does not need it. We hope the bill will pass because it is sound and just and in the in terest of the business of the whole country
 Still more amusing is the solemn counsel of Sena Bevcridge to the bankers of the country to support public confidence by lending money with courage and patriotism. If banks lent money the basis of courage and patriotism they would all go bump, and the business of the country would follow them Sound banks lend money what they think good security. When security hrinks in value banks contract their loans When there is plain evidence that borrowers losing their heads banks reduce their credits for the protection of the legitimate business of the try well as their own
 1t seems to us that this is the way for banks to
 inspire confidence in intelligent persons, instead of handing out the money of their depositors on cats and dogs to wild eyed spectators. Nothing is more ludicrous than the advice of politicians to bankers, unless it be the advice of bankers to politicians.

SEND IN YOUR MITE.

Fifteen thousand feet of lumber is needed at the Quartz creek col ony. It is needed badly before winter sets in. Hence this appeal. Rev. c. E. Ryberg has devoted his time and his money to the work of caring for the indigent natives who are located at Quartz creek. They are coming in droyes and their needs are great. The work under- taken is q humane one. The gov ernment las hitherto failed to take any heed of the natives of this coast, and it is left to the people residing here to see that famine and death do not overtake them. TIE NUGGET has opened a sub scription list, and subscriptions to the amount of 5000 arc needed. These will be acknowledged by Mir. Ryberg through the columns of this paper. If you can afford to do so send in your mite; never mind how small it is. It will 90 toward iurthering a philanthropic work.

A FRIEND OF ALASKA.

[ TIE NUGGET is an independent newspaper in all
 that the name implies National political lines have
 never been drawn in its columns for the principal
 reason that the time has not arrived for strict
 alignment on party lines THE NUGGET is first of

 President Roosevelt THE NUGGET believes is repre- sentative of the highest type of American citizenship and it trusts and believes that he will be the choice of his party for nomination president at tLe party's national convention next year. Our reasons for speaking thus of President Roosevelt are based upon the fact that he illustrates the spirit of Amer 'ean patriotism in way which comments him to the peNole He is the first president of the United' States who n~-eyer evi.eal real intcress aud this newspaper would he rscreant 10 dutY ware 1t pot to acknowledge his many kind words oil ~..

HARMONY IS NEEDED.

It is to be hoped that the demo- crats of Nome will act in harmony and elect representative citizens as delegates to the party's national convention next year. Being the minority party, this, no doubt, will be tbe case. There are lots of democrats in this section who would ably Hnd faithfully represent their congeners in the natural conven- ton. The choice of delegates is q matter of interest to all good Alas kans. We want to see this section represented in the national conven- tions -l the great political parties by their best men. We want to see real Alaskans thus honored, for it is an honor. We are unalterably opposed to federal officials as dele gates to national conventions, or any other conventions, for that matter. We are opposed to the "carpet-bag system," and to "car- pet-baggers," and the ignorance, greed and prejudices which clothe the most of them like a shroud. We have known a few federal carpet baggers who made excellent off, cials and who developed into first class patriotic AlOskans. But most of them are dead. Conven- tions of both the great parties are soon to meet. They will subserve their own best interests by putting their petty likes and dislikes be- hind them; by recommending home rule for Alaska by denouncing the carpet-hag system, and generally, by showing by their acts, that Alaskans, irrespective of political affiliations, are intelligent citizens of the republic.

WHERE THE BLAME LIES.

"Councman Hill, seconded by Councilman Bard that of the several councmen be given police authority. ! 4 "
 "Councilman Hill, seconded by Councilman Stevens, that all sporting be compelled to obtain from reputable physician, twice during the month, cer tcate showing themselves free from all venereal diseases the chief police be instructed that such certificates are displayed in their abcdes."
 The above are the delectable resolutions passed by the common council of Nome June 29, when was put in force by the action of the council of the most debasng and degrading systems of levying -.r.Site upon unfortunate class that of fcially recognized in any community.
 At the time that the city council took this action THE NUGGET denounced 1t. IL has continued do 50 fairly and consistently. TIE NUGGET stated at that time and many times since that for city council to authorize directly remotely such pro- ceeding was monstrous. We have quoted the resolu- tions they appear in the record of the councils proceedings. Whether these resolutions passed hastily and without due consideration, we do not presume to say. But the resolutions received the eancton of a ma ority of the council and they have not been repealed. They stand today, monumental disgrace to the men who originated them and a foul blot on the city of Nome
 The men who pro6ted directly by such "muni- ,cpal legislation" not alone to blame for the in iquities which it bred. The city council is also re- sponsible and the people of Nome not blameless. They appraised that such 'egislation" had been passed and THE NUGGET denounced it in no uncer- tain terms. Yet the greatest apathy evnced, and only when actual prosecutions begun did the people arise to the enormity of the ofense psrpetrated against them and public morals and .decency by the whom they had elected to serve them in the city council.
 This is subject that is not at all pleasant for THE NUGGET to discuss. It regrets that such con- dliror shoud have been tolerated in the community. It is howsver, the duty of newspaper to expose, Jar as within it lies, public abuses and this subject IT, and has been, that directly affects the entire community Faihfuness in the discharge of their duties by public officials e safeguard of good gov Srnnsnt. Men who stoop to petty graft, and who use the power vested in them for private gain merit only the severest denunciation and condemnation The members of the city council of Nomc and espe. cialy thoss who interested themselves SC assiduousy ln securing the passage of the resolutions which printed a the head of this article are not worthy of pubic cenidenceA They misrepresent the people, wnom they were elected to serve, and they bring ohloquy to'a continuity which could well spare Sca

fot and encouragement, his holp iul acts and warm interest which he has displayed, publicly and pri- vrtsfy, since he was called to the presidency of the republic.
 Briefly, then, for the above and other reasons, TIE NUGGET hopes to see President Roosevelt nomi- hated to succeed himself, because, if q republican president is to be the choice of the nation, there is no man whom the party could name who would be as acceptable to the people of Alaska, without regard to previous political affiliations.
