WHERE A STREET IS NEEDED.

The dwelling residence portion of town seems to be centerng in that locality north of First street and east of Lanes alley extended, and west of Stead man This is undoubtedly account of tho proximity of that section to the school house, court house. posoce and business center of the city. Be- sides of the many houses erected in that locality last summer and fall, many being moved in with teams thi, winter. A cursorv glance that sec tion will show il to be well cut off from fire proec tion and the utmost should be exercised by househoders Should fire break out, for instance in the vicinity of Geo. l.. Fishs warehouse, Third street, the fire department would bs obliged to lay hose to and up Steadman to Third street and then west to point near y/opposite the fire engine house before tho disturbance could be reached There should be, and 1t amounts to criminal negligence, that there has not been street opened up through Lanes alley to Third street.
 Much less than $3,500 would have bought all the right of way necessary for such street and drained and graveed it in excellent manner Such inn provement would have been worth great deal more to the city generally than unavailable lot costing that amount. Unquestionably the city needs quar- ters of its own but the citizens in greater need of fire protection. The street through Lanes alley should be opened up immediately, by cession pur chase, condemnation or otherwise.

THE GORMAN MOVEMENT.

Senator German has four boomers in the South for the presidential nomnaon-the Nashville Amer ican, the Atlanta Constitution the Louisville Courier Journal and Jones, of Arkansas the chairman of tho Democratic national committee. This gives the Maryland boss something of start but he is still little way behind his old admrer, Cleveland who has five newspapers on his side There is chance for the German boom to grow somewhat between this time and the meeting of the national convention next year, but the support that he is getting in his own Louis Globe Democrat.
 "The three German newspapers are all right. Each represents important constituency. But tho sx-Senator will hardly be considered much of cession to the German host. Pretty much everything that Arkansas Jones has said he wanted in the past eight years, his countrymen by big ma jori- ties have refused to give. He asked them to elect Bryan in 1896, and they went and did the opposite. When he repeated the request in l9OO his fellow citizens turned him down with still chesrfulness and unanimity. AS boomer our old Arkansas friend is put by the great mass of Americans tho same level with George Francis Train.
 "Possibly the three journals which are supporting German, may be able to overcome the hoodoo of Jones' association. With Col. Watterson it is a case of anything to beat Cleveland and Bryan, who are already beaten, far regards the presidency il. 1904. The Constitution has been Bryanite journal until recently, but il has gone back tho Nebras-

AS TO TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT,

Why should Alaska have territorial self government There are hundred good and sutf- cient reasons, but one, however, will be cited at present.
 Under local government the District would be supplied with appellate court within the District, without the expenditure of small fortune in doing At present there is practically appeal from the District Court for the that 1t takes small fortune to pay the expense of the appeal. The prac tica consequences therefore, is that unless litigant has large amount of money behind him he must understand that he steps into court of last resort whenever he enters any of the three divisions of the District Court of Alaska. Besides the enormous expense of the transcript and printing of the records and briefs, under the prevailing schedule of fees the appellant must place his case in the hands of an tirely new, strange attorney at San Francisco, or member of the bar of the Ninth Circuit that gen tsman, of course has his tin cup out and is in posi- ton to demand that it be filled to the brnl. From $l O00 to 5000 and about two years waiting is the cost of appealing a case involving $500.
 In large ma jority of cases there can be ap- peal, and this fact is well known to the bench and members of the bar of the District of Alaska. ter rtoral court would split these conditions from one blity that every will be appealed from tends greatly to better work the part of all concerned with the courts

The Hawaii people are already asking for statehood It would please the country to he able 10 gratify the Hawaiians but this re- quest for statehood k little too precipitale. The fact that the num- Der of English-speaking people in the island. is insignificant com pared with the total population, and that the number of whites of all races is small as compared with the natives, is against the statehood proposition at this time. Hawaii can afford to wait a few years for statehood. If she had been Ameri- can territory as long as New Mex ico has, her repeated requests to be let into the Union would have more force. For the present she will have to remain in the territorial l status.

There are entertainments and social functions galore for those whose opportunities and means are such as to permit the favored to avail themselves of the passing show, but for the great majority there seems but little that is calcu- lated to divert and entertain. Can not someone devise something that will be of popular and general in- terest? By the way, what has be- come of the literary soefety ?

There seems something wrong in the system that compels children to grope their way through light between darkness and dawn. through drifts and tearing bliz- zards, to school during the long Arctic winter, and then as soon as the fine weather comes closes the schools and turns the children loose upon the streets. The condi- tions are somewhat different here from those found in California, Florida, Michigan, etc, and differ ent methods might be employed to meet them. This suggestion is made at the instance and com plaint of a young friend of ours, and we think he has some reason for complaint.

kan. While the American has Eeen against the selection of a Southern man in 1904 for the candidacy, it perhaps does not consider German to be in that class. Germans fate, to a large degree, will depend on the result in the state election in Mary land in 1903. If his ticket carries his state this year, there may be a chance for him to get many votes in the convention of 1904, but if the Republicans win the state in the approaching election, German, in next years convention, will be deader than Adlai Stevenson.

BUILD BETTER HOUSES.

With properly constructed houses heated and ventilated after the latest and most improved methods residents of Nome could winter here az comfortably they might in Duluth, Winnipeg orI St. Paul. The winter discomforts of Nome not attributable to the climate they to the mis- erable shacks thrown up in day in which people huddle and hibernate
 That Nome is to be permanent town, steadily increasing in population as time passes is believed by almost everyone in the community, and still it seems to be the policy of almost everyone to build and plan for the immediate present only. Possibly everyone hopes that by some happy stroke of fortune he will find himself tomorrow in position to live and enjoy himself in ease and luxury in the States.
 He will not. And the that illusion is put aside the sooner will the community such, and the individuals such begin to prosper. These mines and Alaskan opportunities are not potential fortunes for all, but they the means through which the average man and woman may living, and by industry, economy and persistency, in time, wrest out competency. This is the best that the average resident of Nome may hope for with any degree of certainty Consequently tour to these shores for a year or two is usually, if not invariably, attended with loss.
 Let the era and theory of permanency be estab- lshed, and this better be indicated than by the sOllulJy ana uuTaDHly or the nOuSeS anu ings erected It seems an easy matter for clever
 orator" to go to the States and raise at least $1OO GOO in chimercal mining schemes, where the chances of receiving one cent the dollar in return are about one in hundred. Suppose the amount of ''oratory' was expended in organizing, for in- stance building association and bring to Nome sufficient quantity of brick, stone and iron to erect one or two large absolutely proof business blocks. A modern fre-proof block structed in Nome would be contracted for from ground floor to attic before the structure could be completed. On the basis of permanency what enter prise would return larger and more certain divi- dends?
 Then, instead of bringing the brick from the south they could be manufactured here, and at reasonable cost. At the base of the hills Anvil mountain lie inexhaustible beds of brick clay. Coal suitable for the manufacture of brick could be laid down here at $1O per ton or whereabouts, and brick over the cost price at Seattle or Portland
 But would brick structure stand the Alaska climate There is no longer any question to this matter During 1899 experimental brick cold storage warehouse was erected in Dawson. The building was given a thorough test during the winter of 1S99- 19OO with results most satisfactory. There was not a crack or a twist fault in the building aere the severe trial of d most winter. This resulted in the starting of brick yards in that vi cinity and the making of brick is now large indus
