AFFLICTED WITH POLITICS.

There is rumor tha, is floating around town which, like the ghost of Banquo, will not down, that the Nome Volunteer Fire Department is fast degene- rating into political machine. This state ment is made by reputable men and considerable credence may, therefore, be attached to it. If this be the it is to be depored. The volunteer fire de- parment should be free of political afflictons It is in part supported by the people, and to the people it is responsible. That it has done good work will be conceded but when any organization, owing its ex- stence to the municipality and the people. arrogat to itself dctatoral powers its of usefulness is
 fast drawing 10 close. The people of this city have been exceedingly generous to the fire department Their appr> citation has been shown in marked man. In the winter of 1901 and 1902 the department supported by private subscription, the city con tributng nothing to its support that the sala ries of two or three officials were paid The rank and file received nothing. Now it is to be regretted that its efficiency has become impaired by of the injection of politics into the body. Its govern ment needs to be remodeltd and placed in the hands of men having the confidence of the fremen them selves and the community, something it seems to lack.

dead. Man: that is mankind is always looking abroad for other scenes and places of action, It does not matter that man is doing "well enough" at home, perchance there may be opportunity for hm to do even better in the green fields beyond. It may here be stated that no fault should be found with the man who longs for other and, may hap, greener pastures, but he is not likely to find them, though he search for them carefully and with tears. The shoemaker who sticks to his last the black smith who stays with his forge is likely to succeed while the brilliant but cratic genius fails mis- erably.
 Ever and anon one hears of stampedes to some distant place. The reports sound good, and they may be largely true, but, submit, few people profit by rushing to strange and distant place especially when to do so they must leave behind them welt established business or promising country. This
 IS written apropos of the alleged strike in the Tanana country for the plain and avowed purpose of dis couragng stampede that will inevitably result dis astrousy for the great ma jority of those who partci pate in it. It may be set down here in all serious and with due appreciation of the situation that the stampeder without regard age sex, color previous condition of servitude that Seward penin- sula today offers better inducements to the or woman who is willing to work than any other sec ton of Alaska. Therefore, avod stampeding and stay with the peninsula. but if you trek, be yours

DOING VS. FAULTFINDING.

One very seldom violent radical in public office or in any place of responsibility, says ex- change. Why? Because responsibility turns an extremist into moderate and often into con- servative. The violent critic and revolutionary be- longs always to the party that is out under. The party that is in is fearful of extremes and prefers safe middle way
 Fault-fnding is the easiest labor in the world The people who find fault are those, generally. who do nothing themselves and have no responsibility. They sit in easy chairs and, without knowing the facts of the case, crticse statesmen generals foreign potentates superors interiors, equals ard neghbors. With imperial manner they distribute praise and blame; that is, nothing at all.
 The fault finder. as rule is disposed to meddle in other peoples business, He-or she-is greatly concerned about the family affairs of his acquaint- ance. He does not like the way certain wife be- hayes. She ought to be more cOnsderate of her hus band-that's his humble opinion which he expresses with positiveness that is never humble. It may be that his neglect of his own wife is the scandal of his circle but your true ault-fnder the beam in his eye. Sometimes the fault-inder criticses things in his home. He picks flaws in his wife's housekeeping, complains when dinner is ten minutes late, and never fails to point out to her any dust on the piano scratches on the walls. If she dared to
 
 his affairs he would become tower of indignation and would tell her very plainly that he would attend to his affairs as he pleased, and would submit to dictation from neither her nor any other person.
 The faut-fnder is of the pests which people that do things must endure with patience. He is always and he causes much trouble some- times, but there is no escaping him. No man can do n thing that will please everybody When Andrew Carnegie commenced to give away his huge fortune for public purposes aultfnders all the country instead of prasing him for his noble intention and his benfcent schemes assaled him furousy because he did not choose to devote his money as they di- rected He revled indecently for having offered to do good in very practical way, and he might have justified himself had he turned his whole fortune into gold and scattered it along the bottom of the sea- out of the reach of men forever But Carnegie like all the worlds great doers has learned to treat the fault finder as nothing but stinging fly, and he did and still doing what he set out to do, sercnely contempt uous of his critics. As a rule, the man that does

RESTLESSNESS OF MANKIND.

"The green fields are always just over yonder," is always true whether applied to the icy northand or to southern chimes. In other words, man is never content with his lo and, by the way, it is blessed thing that he is not For if he were there would be little progress, but there would be heap more con
 tent. But again, there are so few of us who are looking for "peace and content that we are in the great minority. The resessness of humanity is ever apparent, andto this selfsame nquieude is due the psogress which the world has made since the Chris tian era began. Man never is, but always to be Siest" wrote wise poet, for some poets are really and truly possessed of wisdom but most of them are

The people of the sandspit, other wise. the First ward, are extremely alive. There's a whole lot of live American citizens over there, and they exhibit a lively sense as to what constitutes the rights and privileges of citizenship. They held a public meeting the other night in which the tocsin of good government was sounded. The people of the east end, or the Sev. enth ward, are also alive to their interests and those of the whole city, while the other "wards" seem to be between these upper and neither millstones" which seem to be grinding right lively.

"Mr. Blank, Jr., is member of the city council of Podunk. He was elected in 1901 and again this year, and possesses great influence. Your company, therefore, would do well to do some business with Mir. Blank Jr.'s office" is the substance of letter sent from Podunk last year to San Francisco firm. Nice kind of Podunk councilman, isn't IT? Not a pansy blossom, only a petty graft.

That a congressional committ,e e will visit Alaska this year is prob- able; that they will visit Nome goes without saying. That they will inquire into the legislative and other needs of this section is evi- dent; that the only representative body that Nome will have will he the city council also seems apl ar ent. What then :? The logical sequence to the above propos tions seems to be that only the best men available should be elected to the municipal council. Business men, with a little intelligence. are need ed. No opera bouffe statesmen" should be tolerated; no men whose principal means of support he in working petty gratis should bc elected. Nome needs men to repre- sent it in the council who have some interests at stake-those who repre- sent something else than wind.

A man can afford to be generous when he is only bent on making a play to the galleries. There are those who publicly and for the pur- pose of gaining little cheap noto- riety assume the functions of gener- ous philanthropy, while their "hired help" go unpaid. Such vermin are neither lift for the land nor the dunghill."

THE SIZE OF THE COAT.

It has been remarked heretofore in these columns that THE NUGGET is somewhat difident when it comes to a discussion of municipal politics. Nome is small community, completely isolated for the greater portion of the year and for newspaper to active criticism of local affuirs, display of courage which perhaps the end does not justify, the results to be obtained warrant. A municipal election in small community such as this should not upset it completely should it be signal for strife and recrmination. Some who seek office are so worthy of confidence that there to be dire need for paens to be sung sounded to their praise; others manifestly united fill any position of public trust that they carry about with them unmistakable certificates of their disqual ifcat6n. Nome has had two city councils since its incorporation A pril 9, 1901. The acts of each before the people The first city council labored under some difficulties those which bese gov ernment in country. That they erred griev ously few will deny but for the oriy of the men who composed the first council 1t may be stated that they did the best they could which in all conscience was bad enough. Yet they ran their course and the city government endured The second council in hsritsd the sins and transgressons of the first That the former handicapped we are free to admit. That the majority discharged their duties to the best of their ability believe Nevertheless the fact re- mains that the financial condition of the city of Nome, today, is not heathful one The citys finances in deplorable condition. The revenues have decreased and promise to still further dwndle. fh the first council well in the present one there seems to have been watchdog of the treasury to guard it's interests The apparent result is that to- day the citys paper is either altogether unstable or subject to heavy discount, and the indebtedness of
 the municipality is steadily increasing It is there fore apparent that the municipal expenditures should be curtailed. The urgent necessity of retrenchment is before the people. The town government was be- gun upon the high pressure plan. The cloth at the command of the municipal authorities did not suffice for the garments which they essayed to cut. There fore the coat too short while the trousers bagged at the knees in premature manner. Something should be done to reduce the municipal pressure The expenditures have been altogether too heavy and upon the new council will devolve the task of originating such methods as will insure the best gov ernment at the least expense.
 Nome, it must be remembered is but a hamlet no elaborate system of government is needed; the simpler it is the greater will be the good that will accrue. An elaborate system of is neither necessary nor desirable.
