THE MEN OF '9S AND '99.

Many of the pioneers of 1898 and 1899 have re- .ponded to TIE NUGGEr'~ request to send in their to this office. Already it is to he noted that the pioneers of 1898 are not very many in number, still by the time the list is closed there will be re- spectabe showing made by the men of '9S. TIE NUGGET Is often asked What iS the object of asking for the names of the pioneers of 1898 and 1899 In reply, we will state that one day Alaska will have bona fue Historical Society and all data relating the discovery of gold on Seward peninsula, and the who made the first settlements will prove of great value. For that reason TIE NUGGET has under taken the work of collecting. far possible, the names of the men who have been instrumental in settling this far northern section, and in making it's great natural resources known. While th,.r who came later than 1898 and 1899 have done th, full share those who came here during the years dmed have been the trail blazers. Those who have re- mained with the country, therefore, during erlod of more than four or five years may justly be called the pioneers, and sueh are entitled to honorable mention when the history of Northwestern Aa> ka is written. Therefore, do not be backward about send ing in your names to TIE NUGGET. The list will be published in due course of time. 1t is our desire to make 1t as complete possible.

BABIES AND BATTLESHlPS AGAIN.

 From 1890 to 1900 the natural increase of popu- lation, that is the increase due to excess of births over deaths, and excluding immigration, was 12 3l5 361. The average annual birth rate for the decade 351 for every thousand of the population, while the death rate was IA.
 Now, let stop thinking about race suicide and turn to profitable and cheerful topics. Persons and personages who have been throwing fits on the subject advised to calm their troubled spirits If they really desire an immense population of sturdy men and women, let them quit talking about battle ships and big armies and other picturesque instru- ments designed to destroy the robust manhood of na tions and go in for the manly exercise of peace If the bouncing babies who into the world are made go out of it the battlefield, just that much bouncing manhood is lost to the world, and the ma tion is left to the keeping of those dreadful weak lings. The best manhood of France and Spain was given to the sword That IS why those proud nations have declined. Let not make the blunder which enfeebled them.

THE HANDSPRING OF PROGRESS,

At the meeting of the International Congress of Actuaries in October last, the great and constant gain in longevity was discussed.
 The decrease in the rate of mortality is 50 steady and symmetrical that it may fairly be looked upon as exhibiting settled and permanent tendency.
 This came about" said one of the speakers lin large measure from reaction toward philanthropy and humanity. We have the growth of the hospitals, the various organizations which for the poor and the suffering and especially for the children. Con- temporarily with this we have also the great advance in science, its increased ability to cope with disease, its triumph in surgery, its development of sanita- tion.'
 In these brief sentences the great fact of progress is modestly stated. It is fact greater than armie. and navies, trade gains conquests and all the other garish gauds of truculent and boasfu political phi osophy
 It is the spirit of wise kindness, quietly working without bragging without shril trumpeting of self It is the spirit that suffers long, is not puffed up, does not vaunt itself; but it accomplishes results more swiftly and surely than an ocean full Of battle ships bent making noise and shooting peace and good will into reluctant world.
 Philanthropy and science-these make the main spring of progress. They the humble workers in the smthy of events. We don't hear much of hem because unrvaled prosperity tremendous profits national prestige and overpowerng importance in the world make such chatter that the small voice of truth and reality is drowned out. The real motive power of the world is not often visible or audible but it is always present and always at work.

"NO TWO SEASONS ALIKE."

There is adage extant in this northern coun- try that mo two seasons are alike" We rise to as- sert the truth of the adage For the past four years the writer has told with becoming force but modesly
 withal that steamers could safely leave Nome for the outside as late the middle of November, or per chance the first of December. We are not ashamed to acknowledge error. We withdraw the state
 ment. Steamers cannot safely leave Nome for the outside or anywhere else, after November if we are to judge by the ice conditions of the present year. But nevertheless, in 1899, 19OO 1901 and 1902 steam
 could have safely left Nome late as November 15 or 2O But this fall all preconceived notions have been upset. The first ice appeared Oct. 25, and and by Oct. 30 the pack present in full fig. To- day, as far as the eye reach, the pack is to be in all its pristine streuousness There's little use talking about it. As the wind blows where it lists so, it seems, does the pack come and go It usually comes like thief in the night silently quiet
 ly, without giving many premonitory warnings. And it departs just quietly, only leaving, here and there, a trace behind Last spring the ice fingered long, apparently being 10th to depart and the "old~ timers" comforted themselves by remarking: "We

THE CARE OF THE ESKIMO.

The city council of Nome well awaken to the fact that when natives living within the munich palty become indigent the city will be compelled to for them; when they die the city will have to bury them. This may not be equity in the strict acceptaton of the term but it is humanity. We are firmly of the opinion that the duty of caring for the natives of this section rests with the federal govern ment but we are as free to state that under existing conditions the federal authorities in Nome cannot be expected to the responsibility, neither can the military authorities, although both may occa- sionally stretch point and render little succor and assistance to starving, sick needy natives at points outside of Nome.
 It cannot be denied that the tendency of the ma
 ves of this coast is to seek the towns This is to be depored, as many ot them inevitably become charges upon the community. At present do not see how it can be prevented therefore the towns in duty bound to that these poor ignorant shftless peo- pie do not die of starvation perish from the cold
 We believe that congress at its present session will enact some legislation for the care and proec- ton of the Boring native, The matter was fully gone into with the senatorial committee during their visit here last summer, number of local gentlemen having made extended statements to the committee concerning the condition of the Eskimo, their needs and requirements. The statement of each was re- duced to writing, and the matter will be laid before congress and believe the efforts thus made to se cure proper for the natives the expense of the government will be fruitful of results
 In the meantime the living must be cared for when care becomes necessary, and the dead must be buried. We do not to repetition of the dsgraceful scene chronicled in these columns few days ago.
