The Reno Gazette Hands Out Carson
{ Queer Compliment.

The following from the Reno Ca
zette, in regard to the comparative
decorations and reception rendered
the President. is worded rather pc
culiarily. While the paper hands Car
son compliment, it does It with
queer grace as they throw a stone in
the puddle in order to splash little
water before the high card is recos-
nized:
Carson covered up her dirty face
effectively on the occasion Ct Drast-
dent Rooseyelt's visit yesterday and
presented q charming appearance.
The city never looked prefer ii
holiday attire. The decorations on the
State Capitol and government build
ing were very elaborate and unique
Many private buildings were hand
somely trimmed in bunting and flags
and the city Of Carson presented a
striking appearance. AS comparisons
are odious, the Gazette will say but
little about Reno. The iron bridge
was handsomely trimmed, as was the
stand at the court house.
Carson put it all over Reno in the
way of decorations Several individ-
ual places of business were nicely
trimmed and presented a pretty ap-
pearance. Notably was this true OF
the Bank of Nevada building, the Was
hoe County Bank building, The Farm

AS TO ALLEGED PERFORMERS.

Some people prone to cry out against graft and expect other people to not only take up the cry but make the fight for them. The former are made up of class of men, and sometimes women, who are reiormers only with lip-service. Whom it comes to doing things they are lamentaby wanting. They make accusations of graft and wrong-doing the streets and with their famliars that they would not dare to make openly. The world is full of moral cowards-of men who have convictions but who are afraid to express them, lest nickel might get away from them, or perchance might get offended. They are in sympathy with reform, with a big R., provided someone else will do the reforming. They will talk carefully and very, very guardedly y-in safe places-and express the greatest interest, and per haps some indignation, real or simulated And there their reform ends
 Recently THE NUGGET has received number of communications relative to alleged 'grafts' by the city council the school board and other public and private citizens. In each and every instance direct accusations have been made but the writer of each communication has politely-very politely, it may bs said-requested that while he would like to see his communication in print, yet he would not like to see his name appended to it. He will not. Neither will he see his communication printed in this paper When citizen who feels and believes that grating" in Nome elsewhere is "so rank and rotten that it smells to heaven" is anxious to have expose made, and yet careful witha to withhold his name from article exposing alleged grating" and rot tennsss his zeal may be reasonably looked upon with suspicion and dstrust.
 When man is honest and sincere in his convic- tions he will so express himself he will not mince matters If he has concern for the public veal he will not hide either himself his thoughts under bushel. He will speak out. And if graft" and "rottenness" exist among public quasi-public bodies if he knows that his promises correct the gool citizen should be neither ashamed afraid to make his views known Not under cover but in the oien.
 The men who reform" from behind hodge or in the of saloon not the kind of stuff of which real reformers made. Al rule they arc wind-bags with diarrhoea of word. and constipa- tion of ideas.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELEGRAPH.

The rates for sending message from St. Michael to Seattle is 66 cents a word, or $66O for ten words Teegraphing, therefore, to the "outsids" is an expensive luxury, only to be indulged in the most important occasions by the wealthy. To the poor man. even the man in moderate circumstances the rate s practically prohibitive At least. he will not indulge in telegraphic messages very often.
 The rate for newspaper dispatches is one-fourth the regular rate, or about F cents word The price will show the "snap" the newspaper has-one hun dred words, only seventeen dollars. The reader of ordinary intelligence will easily how it is possible to publish three four columns of "ats teegra aphic News" in Nome newspapers. Then the news must be transmitted by mail from St. Michael But, as has heretofore been pointed out in these columns the telegraph line, which is supposed to connect us with the outside, is military line It built for mill. tary, and not for commercial purposes, and must make the best of it. We may kick and iume and fuss but it will not alter undeniabs facts. Sixty six cents word for the private citizen; seventeen cents for the press If you don't like it you don't have to embrace the opportunity.
 The Dawson newspapers get cent . word rate the Canadian government line, and thus enabled to handle fair of outside telegra news daily or weekly. But, in many ways, the Can adan government is a paternal one and there's very
 little of the paternal about our Uncle Samuel so far as Alaskans concerned. If we were Flipnos Hawaiians Porto Ricans-but we are not

THE LATE LIBEL SUIT.

During the progress of the trial of McGinn vs. Strong an action for libel, which ended yesterday, the jury having failed to agree, THE NUGGET made no comment upon the progress of the It re- ferred to only briefly in the news columns of this paper the evidence adduced not being touched upon. Editorally, the case was never mentioned, nor was any attempt made to publish article having for it's object the influencing of the jury who tried the or the moulding of public opinion
 This course, THE NUGGET regrets to state, not adopted by contemporary, the Nome News which in each issue published editorials the manifest object of which was to influence the jury in behalf of the plaintiff in the No who read those articles could fail to mistake the object for which they were intended. Such work may be deemed fair by the hired men who run that paper, but we do not think that unprejudced persons will take that view of it. However, let it pass it is, after al scarce worth mentioning, and it is only referred here because of its manifest bias.
 The attorneys for THE NUGGET, Messrs. Daily, Bell and Orton made excellent fight, under many handicaps through being called into the case at the eleventh hour, and the fight they made among the most brilliant witnessed in the district court of this judicial division.

tions of the country hitherto untrodden by white men, and made valuable collections in the interests of science When he first visited Aaska the Rus sians were in complete control and his caustc strc- lures of Russian officials leads one to believe that tho stories of misrule and debauchery that have been told were we'll founded in fact. Especially were the natives oppressed and trodden. They were completely at the mercy of the Russian officials and traders, who led them sorry lives. Occasionally the natives rose in revolt at Nuato in 1851, when 8 band of Koyukuk Indians surprised the fort at Nulato and put every man, woman and child to death. An English officer, temporarily stopping at Nulato, was among the victims. Again in 1855 the natives attacked Fort Andreafsky, killing all the occupants. The Russians wrecked terrible ven- geance. The native village, which was about mile from the fort, attacked. None was spared. The blood shed at the fort not yet dry and the Rus sians resolved that the authors of the cowardy out rage should be exterminated without mercy When they stayed their hands the work was done Fathers mothers and children had passed their "evi quarter of an hour.' The result was wonderful. From that day to this not native of the lower Yukon has lifted his hand against the whites. The bloody lesson was not thrown away The strong hand which alone commands the respects of savages, worth thou. and missionaries.

OIL AND MINERAL WEALTH.

Reports from Southwestern Alaska indicate that of development is promised for that section.
 This development, it ia claimed is already under way in the oil fields and the coal mnes we'll as in the gold fields of the interior. Great results pected from the oil lands. Many thousands of dol lars have been expended in putting in the machinery necessary to develop tho oil fields. As yet there are expectations only but this does not discourage the belief that oil belt of considerable proportions will be producing oil for tho homo and foreign mar ket. The work already done has been most satsfac- tory in many instances. and tho oil mon are unit in pronouncng the Kayak oil regions the most prom ising they have seen in the United States. The oil

 Besides oil prospecting the de- velopment of several coal mines is actively under way, and during the past year many prospectors have gone into the interior looking for gold, copper and iron, and in many cases, it is alleged, their ef- forts have been rewarded.
 Down on Resurrection bay a town is being built called Seward. It is the ocean terminus of the Alaska Central railroad, whose ot- jective point is eaid to be Ram part-and later, Nome.
 Whether half of the stories heard and read concerning the develop ment of the Alaska peninsula" are true or untrue, the fact remains that it is rich and promising sec tion, and that it will be speedily developed in the very near future cannot be doubted. At present there may be a disposition to boom that section, but it has the mineral and other wealth which will un- doubtedly of itself attract the at tention of the capitalist az well as the prospector and miner.
