CUSHMAN'S HARD BLOWS.

One day last winter when Representative Cush- mans Alaska delegate bill up for discussion in the house Cushman made one of his characteristic speeches, during which he delivered hard blows at congressional ignorance concerning Alaska. In the c0urse of his speech he said:
 "Alaska with 100000 population, composed of the cream of the Anglo-SaXon race, has no delegate on this floor, and the only legal tie that binds them to the and stripes is a federal collector in the midst of their domain.' Some member of the oppo- sit.on having referred to Alaska as a land of cices Cushman Illustrated the difference of climate as be- tween Southcastern Alaska and the northern states by story of an Alaskan who returning on a visit to the states. He got started for New York City, said the Washington congressman. He had got along very well with the weather in Alaska, but when he started the northern end of the United States in January then he discovered. in climatic that he getting next to the business end oi the real thing. He cold when he got to St Paul he was colder still when the breeze from the lake struck him at Chicago, and at Buffalo they found him frozen to death, stiff as an apenstock by the stove ir the smoking car. That, Mir, Chairman, is a truthful recital of the sad and shocking end of lcice Ike the Coldioot of Alaska"

A QUESTION OF WATER.

The question of water for domestic purposes is al ways serious one in Nome each recurring spring The quality supplied just the thaw begins iS. and always will be, bad. Too much care, there fore cannot be taken with that which one is compcl- ed to use. It should be well boiled before drinking, and even then do not know whether it is entirely ;unocuou>, but it is precaution at least.
 And speaking of water the people of Nome should reah2r what the pure water supplied by the Moon- light Springs Water company means to the town still there are who would tax the company out of business if they could. The proposition has not been paving one for the company understand and they are entitled to liberal consideration. Im- aginr if you the condition in which the city would be m the summer season, were it not for the water so hounuly supplied by the enterprise of the Moonlight Springs Water Co., The opening up of the plant every spring entails great deal of expense an expense we believe not fully warranted by the receipts obtained Yet the plant is maintained for the benefit of the city and its people. There a time last summer when it appeared though the plant might be shut down. We sincerely trust for the welfare of every person in Nome that such friction will again occur The city council well afford to deal liberay by he'company in the matter of license taxes and other fair privileges and trust that it vii! do so.

RAILROADS TO BE BUILT.

We do not know whether that company incorpor- ated in New Jersey, proposes to grldiron Seward peninsula with railroads or whether it is merely hot air Its birthplace is not happy one, for New ter sev is the mother of interpretations, good, bad and indifferent, but mostly bad. MT. J. Warren Dickson, who in the dis patch published in these columns in the issue of May g. to speak for the company, states that the right of has been secured from the government and work will be begun this spring. We hope so but we doubt it. Not that the building ot Mr. Dicksons railroad lines would not be desirable or that they would not be paying investment They would be both. But we know of thorough railroad surveys that have been made throughout the sections and between the various points which the proposed network of railroads is designed to cover It Is understood that H. IIeinze the civil engineer formerly of Nome, last year made preliminary survey for railroad between the mouth of Solomon river and Council City. We apprehend the Dickson company organized to promote the building of this road. part of the schemet is also stated, is 10 build town at the mouth of the Soomon which is to be the real terminus oi the road Nome being but a way station of the railroad gridron That is one railroad scheme.
 Another, and one which looks far better. may be permitted to remark, is that which last winter was mooted by the Pioneer Mining Co.,, and which in all probability will become an actual fact The proposition was to build a line from Nome to

ALASkANS TURNED DOWN.

"It is | great disappointment to the people of Alaska that Mr. Thos Lyons of Juneau. Was not al'- pointed |. * Attorney for Southeastern Alaska. MT. Lyons endorScd by nearly all the prominent attorneys of Southern and Southca>t,rn Alaska an I by many business and professional men. and II was hoped that since President Roosevelt has taken such an active interest in Alaska, that he would call q halt appointing any more carpet haggers for Alas ka and appoint to office in Alaska residents of Alas ka; men who know something oi the conditions a@ sxist here, and could easily the people of the district and the government much more satisfactorily than strangers who merely seek tine office for what there is in it. l. seems impossible to have AIaskanH appointed to office, except semi-occasionav, some resident of the district is appointed to some tcnas deput yshp without any salary
 The above, with it's caption. is taken from the columns of the Valdez Prospcctor and rcpubsh 1t because in the first place it is sound and in the second place it coinces not only with opin- ions but with those of every bona-fde resident of Alaska.
 The carpetbag olica! system always has been, and always will be- productive o; strife and dscord, misgoyernment and general unsatisactoriness wher- ever it has been followed. There is not state or territory of the Union that has not had unpleasant and unsatisfactory experiences because of the carpet bag blight. Alaska is no exception and perforcc must bear the burden as Uncomp!ainingy as possible but we must remedy it as soon as we can. That it will be abated we believe, but when, do 10. know. It will be soon however Many years will not eapse before we shall have representation in Congress, and l territorial form of government. Then perhaps our ills may be increased and our sorrows multiplied but they will be all our own.
 We also sincerely trust that the next territorial conventions of the great political parties will in the strongest language possible urge the right of Alaska to have all federal appointments made from among its people

THE WINTER MAIL SERVICE.

For the first time in it's history the winter mail service enjoyed by Nome the past season has been excellent. Mails have arrived with promptness that is commendabe. The time made has also been good. In fact, in instances 1t has been remark able. Sixty-four days from Seattle to Nome, by way of the icebound Yukon, is pretty quick time! That is the record made by the last mail that reached Nome. THE NUGGET received by that mail letter dated Seattle Mar. 1. It was received May :, the time in reaching its destination being GA days. This believe breaks all previous records in the trans mission of winter mail and evidences the fact that the contractors the Northern Commercial Co.,, for the Eagle Una 4klik division, and Calk;ns tS Co., for the division extending between the latter place and Nome,
 left nothing undone to secure the most efficient service Mir. Chas. Ross, of Cakins X Co.,, has personally directed the same at this end of the route, and his mail curriers', Messrs Humber, smith and GrifFis, star mushers. It is gratifying to TIE NUGGET to be able 10 testify to the excellence of the service and to commend the work of the contractors. The public rule always ready to find fault, but the past winters mail service has escaped all unfavorable criticism.

The Juneau Miner of Feb. : printed an extract from the su- preme court of the territory of Wy oming showing that Judge Melville (. Brown, now of the first judicial division of Alaska, but then prac- ticing attorney in Wyoming was, twenty years ago, disbarred because he applied "vile epithets to the court" That was twenty years ago, says the Mining Journal, of ketchikan, and it is safe to assert that even the Miner has known oi men who have repented and re- formed in less than twenty days. And then it ought to be aware that out of the wrong-doer is often made the most radical reformer. If the sins of twenty years ago are to be charged against us all who can hope to escape?

Judge Brown, of Juneau, ap- pointed a committee of three attor- ney to consider and report upon the advisability of citing Editor Frame of Juneau, and Editor Hopp of Douglas, to answer for contempt of court, and an exchange remarks: Whether or not their editorial references to his honor, covertly and by innuendo, can be legally SO construed, it is very evident that, like the Irishman who was sorely tempted, they have both sinned in their hearts.

Judge Moore of the district court holds, We believe, that while there is money in the government treas ury, of it be appropriated for the indigent sick native or white man. In order for either to receive hospital attention he must be first declared a vagrant, then he may be consigned to the federal jail. and perhaps subsequently removed to an hos pital, if his condition absolutely requires it. The city government manfcstfy has no greater" powers than that of the United States, and therefore has no authority to expend money for the support of the in digent sick. Nevertheless would not like to see the municipal government follow the same line of action.

Bachelors Artistic Home.

James H. Hyde, one of the six rich.
est bachelors in America, owns what
is generally regarded as the most ar
tistic home in all the land 1t is To-
Gated near Islip. L. l. The forests are
preserved almost as nature turned
them out, there is beautiful lake on
the vast estate a small river runs
through it, and bridges that span the
stream are made of logs that retain
the bark. The dwelling itself is a
dream of convenience and artistic
beauty. An idea of the general luxury
may be obtained when it is said that
in the stables carved mahogany is the
material used in cases for harness and
saddles. Matchmakers have made
many advances to Mr.. Hyde, but so
far without success.
