NEITHER BETTER NOR WORSE.

Nome has had its third municipal campaign since it's incorporation. Cosh minded people perhaps might be forgiven if they to wish that it would Nome being incorporated city must have a gov ernment of some kind. It will, and the town will endure despite any kind of government that may be accorded it. But speaking of municipal campaignsl We feel like saying that there is great deal of necessary fuss and feathers attached to municipal the candle. With less hurrah and excitement better results could be obtained. We do not object to en- thuslasm, political or otherwise though may be constrained to ask is it worth while? The principles underlying good government not born of evan escen enthusiasm; they the result of thought and laEor they are such appeal to the good and the understanding of the intelligent citizen. But it lS q fact that too many of the free and intelligent, don't care the snap of their fingers for principles They are carried away neck and crop by their likes and dislikes. Their pre- judces, real fanced, gov ern These remarks are not alone applicable to Nome; they will fit every community. It is gratify- ing, however to note that the 'plain people," as President Mckinley called them. may usually be de- pended upon to do the right thing. Occasionally they will after false gods, but they are quick to discover their and remedy it. In Alaska we are neither better worse than fellow country men elsewhere. We have much to learn and so ave they, when 1t comes to the science of government. We do not know it all neither do they. Therefore there's hope for us still.

than the natural rivalry between the several sections which is to be found in every state and territory certainly that calls for discrmna ating legisla tion in favor of the to the possible deriment o the other It follows, therefore that Judge Wicker sham bases his opinion that territorial form of gov ernment for the whole of Alaska is impraccable up on false premises says the Ketchikan Mining Journal
 Nor is it true that the mountain ranges which he says divide Alaska into four natural political dvi- sions, in the least inmcal to the successful ad- mnstration of territorial government for the whole Of Alaska. For many years to come practically all the travel and communication between the several divisions he mentions will be by water and rail, and the conditions in that regard not nearly SO bad today in Alaska as they in many of the other territories at the time of their organization. It will not be many years before railways will cross what Judge Wckersham calls a barrier between popula- tons; but it otherwise extensive area diversif- ed interests whether conflicting not, do not all taken together constitute sufficient reason why 60 GOO Americans should be denied the right of govern. ing themselves. And instead of being assigned as a reason why they should further depend upon to enact and amend their laws it is one of the best arguments in favor of territorial legislature in which they can all be directly represented.

der. THE NUGGET .entertains thu same opinion today of Mir. Stevens fitness in any way for office-be it ever so humble--that it did a month ago. The other councilmen elect are good men and we'll known and should give a careful and eco. nomical government. Comment is superfiuous when men like Good rich and Archer are turned dowr and a man like Stevens elected.
 TIE NUGGET regrets the defeat o' School Directors Call and Butler These gentlemen made capable and earnest school directors, and thei, integrity is unquestioned. Dr. Call especially was an enthusiast in tn, upbuilding of the public schools, because he is interested in the chil- dren who are growing up in the country, and his earnestness is most sincere.

SCANDAL AND SEDITION.

The wife of the Crown prince of the little Euro pean kingdom of Saxony recently eioped with com moner named Giron, and the royal scandal that en- sued, according to the dispatches is undermining the peoples loyalty and respect for the throne How much of disloyaty is involved in disrespect is a question seriously agitating the royal mind, and King George las ordered an official account of the Prn- eess's elopement. This is for the Saxons who cir culating fantastic tales detrimental 10 royal charac ter. special court of seven wise appoint cd to try a suit for divorce which was instituted against the beautiful Crown Princess. A prepared official statement and seven wise appointees should have little trouble in "dong up the princess, and restoring vrtuous aspect 10 her husband, the prince This geneman rife tales would have it, by repeated ly hitching his chariot to operaic stars and other ight luminaries, has somewhat dssipated that divinity which should hedge Crown Prince To re- invest him with the divinity will be of the duties of the wise conjurers. Though it will be difficult actually 10 dehorn him, the prouberances upon his brow will be made the pegs which to hang the victorious garlands of divorce decree. Thus wreathed and enshrined, doubt, he will in- spire loyalty.
 There be many princes, notably Henry VIII, who have" been veritabe quick-change artists with the assistance of tribunals and decrees, and obviously a quick change is necessary in the Crown Princes role Something must be done, since Saxony's dynasty is Catholic and her people Protestant, and the nglori affair is being used for sectaran, not to say poli cal, purposes. All of which goes to prove, if any thing that the divine right of kings requires for it's yindication popular approval and that popular ap- proval is wayward and uncertain. Kings, coal bar ons trust magnates and other grantees of divine pri 1ileges and franchises must be politicians as we'll. beautiful princess may undo dynasties by playing to the gallery. especially when the tyranncal spouse is coarse, hideous and depraved, while the handsome lover possesses soulful dark eyes and sighs and does things that pass for ideals.
 , Let the seven wise magicians get busy with their wan6s to transform the scene Rehabilitate the old star trailer. Give him placid if decorated brow, a gentle voice and virtuous injured mien. Make him the central picture in sad domestic tragedy. Whsk s~wy the princess and her bewitchng beauty. Let the characters roll their eyes heavenward and de- plore her infamy Then let the dark villain Ciron peer furtvely upon the sorrowfu through rear window. He should possess waxcd mustachios. sleamng teeth and vicious, gloatng smile, as he views the wreck he has wrought. And, perhaps the gallery will hiss him and weep over the prince.

THE LAW AND ITS UNFOLDING.

They seem to have h"d light lively time in the States early in the winter with the coal barons and nc dentaly the coal dealers Chicago grand jury indicted some thirty or more dealers; in Ohio town d jury found man not guilty who had helped himself to a sack of coal from railroad pile. And so it went. Congress promptly took off the duty on imported coal as sort of left ab in the ribs of the coal bar ons. But they can stand it, while capitalists, work lngmen, politicians and citizens all breaking the law, or letting it be broken Who is left to uphold the law? The lawyers? Some of the best lawyers in the United States are hired not to go into court to defend cases but to advise corporations and business firms how they can get around the law without too great risk of punishment. Too many of the judges so respect the laws that for some 'error or uuibbe they restore to office and liberty men convicted on evidence overwhelmingly convincing to common sense. As for the churches, recently the dispatches tell us, an ancient and wealthy New York establish ment had to be compelled by Tammany holdover official to put its tenements in sanitary condition As for the colleges they do not seem to understand There seems therefore, be none left none but all of us. Capital we are told, is learning (with indigna ton at abors unlawful acts that its rivals contempt of law is menace to property. Labor has shrieked the belief that the illegal power of capital is menace to the worker. These two are drawing together Last November says Chicago paper, when strike was threatened by the yardmen on all the roads center
 ing in Chicago the men got together and settled by raising wages and raising freight rates too. They made the public pay. The public is the people, We
 forget that we all the people; that while each of us can shov off the rest the bill of today the debt is only postponed the rest passing it on back to us. We have to pay in the end, every one of us And in the end the sum total of our debt will be our liberty. Remember that.
