AS TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE.

Nome has new chief of police. He the unanimous choice of the city council, but whether that body is entitled credit for the selection it made time alone will determine.
 Who fills the office of chief of police is matter of the supremcst indifference to TIE NUGGET. It never has had occasion to ask any favols from any public official and 1t trusts it will have. All that it demands is that any public official discharge the duties of his office honestly and conscentious!y There have been good officials and there has been bad ones. Nome is ;l very small place and unim- portant wtha yet the people entitled to receive value for what they pay. In an isolated commun- ity people apt to become hypercrcal well as hysterca. The latter malady recently overlook a contemporary which uttered burst of nonsense for the amusement of the people who chanced to read it. We are not of those who believe that nyhodv or any community is going ito the devil in a hand basket, because they don't take our advice Ii we give advice it is given fairly and honestly and if condemn or praise it is done in the same spirit of honesty and deeency. Personal feeling or business rivalry is a poor weapon with which to fight. The justice o your contention and the righteousness of your only count.
 We believe that the newspapers of Nome, 'real and aleged," have sundry and divers times com mended the peace ond order wh; oh have hitherto pre- vaed in th. town, thereby constructlvely endorsing those who administered and executed the laws gov erning the peace and order of communities of any and all kinds in the United States. So much for that. Therefore we may be at liberty to express our belief that Nome will continue in the even tenor o her way under the regime of brand chief of po- lice, and that interest will suffer unduly at his hands.

A WORD FOR THE CHURCHES.

When the righteous in authority the people rejoice, but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.-Proverbs.
 Tomorrow will be Sunday, and let this be consid cred simple sermon from layman to those whose misfortune it is to be deprived of the oppor- tunity of going to church. And, by the way speak ing of churches, cannot do better, at this time, if the risk of forgetting text, than to refer to the excellent churches of Nome and the men who minister to their respective focks. We thin k that Nome is particularly fortunate in this respect. It. churches presided by eral-ninded gen tlenen; each of course seeing things spiritual from his view point, but each mindful of his duty toward the whole people.
 One of the strongest bulwarks of this republic of ours is the devotion and patriotism to the country and it's institutions as eXemplfed in and by the various Christian denominations. Say what yon may against the churches and their various creeds and doctrines, but you must admit that they stand for good government for the righteous in authority" if you will. Individuals err, and do churches, but their errors those, hold, rather of omission than of commission. In these iconocasc days We apt to revils and forget the churches and their work, and yet. let us put it bluntly and plainly, would not the world lose it's equpoise without them

lions Alaska having contributed it's share) could put the seal of legality upon the few dollars that might be spent for his maintenance in his hep bless, crippled condition
 Let us see who is Nelson Vassar, that we should write these words or espouse the cause of the nfor- tunate. Nassar is siXty-fve years oid lahoring man, homeless and penniess amongst strangers. He came to this country with the same hope that brought other here, the hope of getting gold and btttering his condition in life. He came to Nome last spring from Ishpheming, Mich, He worked on the beach with but little reward, and then went pros pecng, with the too often result. In search of job whereby he might secure the means of existence he was badly frozen, having, when found, been three days without food or drink of any kind the that he ate. Then he was rescued by stranger and cared for by strangers until brought to Nome. Here he was adudged vagrant. The court prob ably could do nothing else and took this means ol caring for a suffering man. We have word of criticism to offer, because believe that the court officials believe that other recourse in of this kind is before them It is therefore the governmental and congressional neglect which permits the state of affairs, that wish to anathematizc. Take 1t to yourself Think of it, ponder over 1t good cit izen and then to 1t that such moral obliquy and wanton indifference to the welfare of American cit izenship and common humanity, receive the just ensure af an outraged people. Think of it! Your father, brother or near relative, overtaken by the vcsstudes and msiortunes of this northern country might be victim of the frost, and without money friends be adjudged vagrant in order to satisfy the demand of governmental red tape.
