NO SPEEDY TRIALS.

On Monday last the petit jury panel for the pres ent term of the district court was discharged not withsanding the fact that neither the criminal nor the civil calendar was exhausted. There nigh, not be anything anomalous in this perhaps, but for the fact that while the petit jury discharged the grand jury still remained in session How many more indictments it may return cannot be told at this writing. The indicted persons however, includ- ing those already indicted, cannot have speedy trial, something which our laws are supposed 10 guarantee. When the present session of the district court opened led to believe by the uterances from the bench and elsewhere, that would be disposed of with all the expedition possible Has such been the case? Among the persons indicted is H. C. Gordon, United States commissioner, appointed by the present judge of the district court His set for tria and under great stress physical and financial he reached Nome last Sunday morning, ex pecting to stand trial for the ofensc for which the grand jury indicted him, only to find that the great government of the United States as represented in Nome was not ready did not feel disposed to go with the trial And this is but of num- Der. Many witnesses have also been brought to Nome from far distances only to find that they not needed Some of them, told, could ill afford to make the trp both for business and other reasons.
 We care but little, and we are frank to admit 1t, what expense the government incurs in administer
 ing affairs in Alaska, for the people of Alaska pay themselves, and if there surplus it would be covered into the United States treasury. But the rights of the people should be- sacred, and are not be abused either by the neglect indifference of the agents of the government.

THE NUGGET's comment is delib- erately and maliciously false, and we challenge the editor of the sheet to prove his bold assertion. If the News ever was for hire or sale, or ever sold out, it was when the ed itor of THE NUGGET had charge of the management of this paper Nome News, June 9.
 So? Does the titular "editor and manager" of the News have to be reminded of 1900 and his plowings with Alexander Mckenzie and his agents? Does he not remember the "pottage?' Of course sub:e. luently he received the office of clerk of the court, as a further re- ward, and hence may have forgotten the "pottage' in the enjoyment oi the flesh pots. Let him refresh his memory, however. This was in the days of "loot and reprisap of which the News has talked so knowingly

States is at the present day. But the fact Is that
 it the design of the convention to establish union of sovereign states, with central government of specifically and narrowly limited powers. The states to be the main element in the government and the federal authority to be subsidiary con- venence. Citizens to be citizens of their respec tive states. and it is doubtful whether the constu- tional convention conceived the idea of citizen of the United States. There were to be two royalties and two patrosms, but the state loyalty and patriot
 ism to be first To emphasize the idea of the sovereignty of the several states it provided that each should be represented by two senator's notwih standing disparity of population
 Our government as it exists, is quite unlike the ideal of the constitutional convention. We have a strong central government, constantly growing stronger, and the states little than departments provinces marked out for the conyen fence of local administration The climax of the long series of judicial amendments of the constitution reached short while ago in the judgments defining the powers and authority of the federal government over the new colonial possessions What is left of the written constitution is mere rag, and the ques
 ton is whether it would not be cxpedent, taking the experience of century, to rewre the constitution make it fit the conditions of the present time and
 those that may be expected to arise in future and pair the several faults which lately have begun to chaie the people.

That Caesar had his Brutus and Charles the First his Cromwell are historical facts; that Judge Moves, the first judge to preside over this judicial division of Alaska. had his "kitchen cabinet" is we'll known to many people in this section; that another "kitchen cabinet' is doing duty, is also known. The history of the past never profits some peo- pie, and yet the Grand Vizier of the present ministry" has had his own experiences with "kitchen cabi- nets' and their doings. and he ought to be wise, if wisdom comes with experience. but in ome cases it apparently misses the mark.

PREACHERS AND BETTER PAY.

Rev. Charles s. Brown, chaplain of the City Mis- sion of Brooklyn, has shown ministers a way to have their salaries raised. Some time ago Rev Mir. Browns wife created stir in New York and Brook lyn by appearing on the stage of vaudeville theater. She didn't do any high kicking fancy dancing, but expressed her willingness to go through such per formances if the management demanded it. When asked to explain why she had adopted stage career the lady stated that her husbands salary was so small that with the practice of the utmost economy they have been barely able to live it. They have four year-old boy, and it Ms. Browns desire that the child should receive good education. This would be impossible unless she earned the money necessary for it, ESQ, having voice, figure and a face, she decided that the stage offered her the best chance.
 After she had been before the footlights four days her husband called into consultation with Bishop Potter and the superintendent of missions and in. formed that his salary had been raised to figure which it hoped would enable him to educate his son without the necessity of extra earnings the part of his wife.
 The preacher whose salary is very small should now be able to sec his way cear-provided he has young and pretty wife, It is pity, however, that any minister should be poorly paid as to make such course as that pursued by Rev. Mr. Brown of Brooklyn necessary.

TWO JUDGES NEEDED.

The need of tive judges having coordinate juris- diction in this judicial division is made apparent by the announcement made from the bench that Judge and that court will not reconvene at least until August 24 next. This means that during the very period when the judicial machinery is most needed it will not be in motion It means that ii there are fragrant violations of law there will be adequate remedy This is essentialtysn mining country. Lit
 gation mining cairs is constantly arising. The jumper is always with us and proven ground is al ways inviting. What, then, Is to prevent any man from going upon another's property, during the ab- sence of the court. and claiming and working 1t as his own? True there is the shot gun, but 10 that is to invite riot and bloodshed an altogether unsats- factory alternative indeed The summer mining in this far northland is necessarily brief and the fullest and ireest opportunity should be furnished olaim to develop their properties, and the pro- lection afforded by court very often becomes neces- sary. This judicial division is the most important in Alaska, and it Is the remote from the of government; therefore judge of the federal court should always be in the judicial division read at all times to meet such emergencies may arise. This division has ever been in a state of doubt and un- certainty; the successive changes in the judiciary have operated against it's we'll being, and hardshps incaculable have been worked upon the people and the bar. And it does not seem that much relief is in sight As we have already stated this is the most important judicial district in Alaska, and it seems to that the government might we'll afford to give us additional judge. The needs of the district are such to urgently demand it.

The acquittal of J. J. Jolley on Saturday evening last by a jury after q trial lasting two weeks, was not unexpected by those who had closely followed the evidence. There was scarcely an attorney in town who did not express the opin- ion, after the prosecution had ad- duced their evidence that they had failed to make out their case. They lacked the evidence necessary to secure a conviction. The defend ant had pretty plain sailing and he had the benefit of able counsel who, although they labored against odds, were successful in making such presentation of their case as to leave no doubt in the minds of the jury, so soon as the case had been submitted to them for final arbitrament.

few hours to produce proof of what is confessedly a grave charge! To any fair minded man the time at the acting district attorneys com mand was totally inadequate for him to produce his proof. As 8 reward for what we consider wa. an honest expression of belief, especially in view of subsequent developments, Mir. Grigsby was removed" from office. Yet the charge and the stain of such an accusation remain, and because of it the people who make up the pop ulalion of this section of Alaska, must a,so bear their share of oppro- brium. We sincerely trust that the department of justice will be thoroughly advised of this matter and that an impartial investigation will be instituted. If the judge Of the court chose to pass up so lightly and apparently so indifferently such grave accusations, made by the acting district attorney of this judicial division, perhaps the ad- ministration at Washington will

THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION.

Thoughtful men that have observed the trend of political events in this country since the civil war, and especially during the past five six years, must not close at hand when the federal constitution shall be rewritten. Long ago the constitution, drafted by the constitutional convention and adopted by the people, was quietly and gradually abrogated by the supreme court. The who wrote that document had only the small experience of the several colonies
 little stead excepting in very general way, for the American continent presented political conditions quite dissimilar to those of Europe. Here q thinly settled strip of colonies bounded the west by vast wilderness of forest and prairie. Western Europe was the seat of populous and established kingdoms. Here we were about to experiment with popular government; there hereditary nsrchy was the accepted form The builders of the ship of stae knew not what strange and stormy it would be sailed upon what stress of storm and circumstances it would encounter.
 As new conditions the federal constitution stretched to meet them, and it is familiar and not sn untrue saying that Chief Justice John Mar shall was the real author of the constitution. for it was he who interpreted it. Nor it be gainsaid shat under the federal judiciary this took
 form different, with steadily increasing difference tto that which the framers of the constitution had iu mind. It may be that, could the constitutional convention have foreseen the events and emergencies of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it would savs created just such government as the United
