Nothing but evil can from this nefarious business; nothing but harm almost incaculabc can accrue to Alaska from this swindling, dishonest cowardly practice And yet it is little to people.

 Some centuries ago history relates that there set

AN UNSEEMLY WRANGLE.

There seems to be unseemly. undigntcd and we think inexcusable sQuabbe the fund raised by the citizens of Nome for the benefit of the fire de- partment. The sum of money thus raised amounted to $l135 and it was collected by three of Nomes well known and substantial business men. At their re- quest the money presented to the members of the fire department by Mayor Valentine. with the ap- proval of the gentlemen who had been instrumental in securing it, and so far we know of the people who subscribed it. To certain members of the de- partment, however, it would that the division, although made in the utmost fairness and good faith, failed to give satisfaction. On what grounds we do not know, since the 'Opposition" do not seem to have in any way clear stated their if they have one Neither does it appear that the people who subscribed the fund have uttered any protest If there were any suspicion of graft in the distribution of the fund there might be room for bjection. But the gentle men who raised it, and the method by which it was distributed, preclude such assumption. Why, then this perturba ion? Are the subscribers to that fund behind this agitation which in sooth looks like D lot of coyotes growing the boles of defunct maverick We are sure that the fire department as whole are not actuated by ghoulish desires, and We are equally certain that the unseemly wrangle which has been provoked cannot make for either the welfare or the efficiency of he department.
 The people of Nome have dealt kindly by the volunteer fire department, and we venture the assertion that there few of its members whether active or passive who will deny the statement. But while the people of Nome much to the efficiency of the fremen, they, too something to the people And they repay it lilly indeed by permitting dissen- sions and strife to become rampant because for some ulteror reason two of their number is dssat- isfed with distribution of small fund which it may be emphatically stated was made in what was considered fair and most impartial manner
 There seems to be spirit of demagogy arising in the fire department which threatens not only it's eff cency but resages its dissolution. This would be a misfortune indeed but there is misfortune great that time and patience will not remedy

A CREEPING THING.

Mans Responsibility is prover- bial, but that does not lessen his accountability, however it may seem to some who live in Alaska. Islander and the basest lies find ere dence; indeed they are rolled as sweet morsels under the tongue. They arc set afloat by moral repro bates and megalomaniacs of the most dangerous kind. No ones character or reputation is safe from their foul attacks. The fires ponsi- bility of the person telling them is seldom considered, although their utter worthlessness is generally y con ceded. The irresponsible liar and secret slanderer is the mas tiest of all beasts. He Is neither it for the land nor the dunghill. He is an abject craven if he Is of the male sex, and q horrible nightmare, a human hecate if a woman, which, we hope, is seldom the case. There is only one way to deal with such human harpies. Either invoke the strong arm of the law and hel D the human family by exposing the moral rotteness of the slanderous leper, or be yourself the law ana administer righteous castegation. 1t is lamentable indeed that people in an isolated community, one large family, as 1t were, must think Il necessary to play the part oi the slanderer and the whitelivered cow

NOT MUCH WORK.

If we are to judge by the reports contained in newspapers received by late mails, congress will do little else at the present session than to pass the appropriation bills. 1hls is the short session, and it will end on March 1 next. The new, or Fifty Elghth congress, will not con- vene until next December, unless called in extraordinary session. In the last issue of TIE NUGGET 1t was stated that an extra session would be called, and there seems to be good ground for the belief. The tariff question Is one that will not down, and 1t promises to be thorn in the republican side. An in1lu- ential wing of that party believes that the tariff should be revised, but most of the Uld-time leaders are opposed to any tlnkering with the tariff. President Roosevelt himself IS believed to favor tariff revision and certain measures of reciprocity, especially with Cuba, to winch he stands committed.
 The republicans are in control oi both branches of congress; they will also control the next, but the next regular session will run far into 1904, presidential election year, and 1t Is stated that it is deemed the better policy to call an extra session and meet pressing questions now, including the tarlti and the trusts, than to defer their consideration practically until 1904. We may, therefore, reason ably expect an extra session, but whether even their time will be taken to pass legislation of any kind for Alaska, remains to be de- termined Certainly we may ex- pect little or none from the pres ent congress.

The city council has passed a 'curfew" ordinance which requires minors to stay indoors, unless ac- companied by parent or guardian, after 10 o'clock in the evening in summer and 9 o'clock during the winter season. Similar ordinances are in force in many cities of the states. and the ordinance will probably be productive of good in Nome if it is properly enforced.

the following instances of fool legisla

Wellington sought to have the consti-

by any individual citizen.
Kissing without certificate of health
from a physician is prohibited by a bill
before the legislature of Montana. A
bill fixing tax of $50 year on bach

are such voluntarily. The Missouri
legislature in 1897 actually passed u
law which fined widows and maidens

Among what may be called the hui

three for which he was prominently
remarkable; his sense of justice, his
directness of purpose, and his unfiinch-
ing administration of law and enforce
ment of discipline.
After completing his labors, the
apostle directed, it is said, by an an
gelic visitant. proceeded to Downpat-
rick, where, having ended his earthly
mission, he passed gently into the 9TH
er life to receive the reward of his
good works. He had become blind and
quite feeble before the time of his
death. His age at the time of mortal
ity is variously stated at from 50 to
121 years.

FREIGHT FAST PILING UP.
Federal Court Issues An Injunction
Against Team Drivers Union.
ARE GOVERNMENT cARTMEN.

Kansas City, Mo-, Mar. 14.-Much
uneasiness has been manifested by the
large wholesale and retail business
houses of the city over the teamsters'
strike and there is strong probability
that the business men and merchants
will take a hand in the trouble and
attempt to force a settlement between
the employers and the men.
An injunction has been granted to
the Kansas City Transfer against the
Team Drivers International Union,
No. 459, and the sympathizers of the
strike, by Judge John F. Phillips of
the United States district court. The
action was brought on the ground that
the compliments are government cart
men, being employed by the govern
ment in transporting bonded goods
The papers filed with the court state
that the company was unable TO secure
the names of all the members of the
union, but such names when obtained
will be added to the list contained in
the order.
The order restraints the defendants
fl ON participating in the strike; from
interfering with or intimidating the
company's drivers; from piclSeting or
patroling the sidewalks adjacent to the
company's place of business and from
confederating or conspiring to ruin,
destroy or damage the business of the
company. A United States deputy
marshal served tine order on the de-

granted. 1t is probable that other
