remains of what might, under authentic reports develop into prosperous camps.
 "His antithesis the chronic pesimst, occupies an equally unfortunate niche in the make up of aver age camp. You may find him in the general store the saloon or on the sidewalk He preserves an ap- pearance of ennui when approached by strangers or wouldbe investors in the properties of the camp. He is at war with the whole world He is long, lean dys- peptc and gowers at everyone upon whom the sun shine of prosperity shines. Ask him to the merits Of claims of we'll known value producers, and he will look down upon you compassionately, shrug his shoulders and tell you that our mines don't amount to anything' with an implication that the longer you stay in the camp the better your chances of being broke.
 'He is a fifth wheel in the wagon and resembles more closely than anything else a patent medicine partrait of before taking invalid.
 Many good deal in mines of true merit have been knocked into cooked hat by the malicious in situation of the chronic pessmist who is ever present ad junct to mining camps
 1t is noticeable fact, however, that the mining camp optmst never risks his own hard cash in any of the rich properties he so warmly recommends to his friends, while the equally degenerate pessimstic monrosity is forever coppering his bets and making strenuous endeavors to crawl into the inner circle of prosperity through channels which he speaks so dis paragingly of to others.
 "The camp boomer and the camp 'knocker should be treated to dose of soft feathers and warm tar and conveyed on either side of convenient fence rail, outside the limits Of every mining camp which de- sires to grow normally the basis of the true value of its mines for the presence of specimens of either of these undesirable clements in promising mining camps as disastrous and turbulent hornet is to bee hive, and quite as useless"

ON A HARD RIDE.

If the members of the city council could further stulty themselves in the eyes of the people of Nome they would have done so by two of their most recent acts: First, by increasing, without shadow of ex- cuse, the salary of the city attorney from one hund- red and twenty-five dollars month to one hundred and fifty dollars and second having thus raised the salary, by decaptatng the official head of James w. Bell and eectng John L. McGinn in his place and stead.
 THE NUGGET has no hesitation in expressing it's belief that the increase in the salary of the office and the sequent acts of decaptation and appointment deliberately planned and as deliberately assent ed to by the majority in order that the city may be compelled to pay, in this guse-a debt that the city does not owe.
 This twenty-five dollar month footing of the city treasury foreshadowed in the last issue of this paper. It was then stated that such deal as that which has been consumm ated, had heen made. Sur prise also expressed that the city council cons tuted it is, should have taken the trouble to in crease the salary attached to the office prior to Me- Ginn's actual appointment.
 That the city council nothing for it's crea tors the people-defes public opinion, revels in the ex- plotaton of the grossest kind of extravaganza, smacks of corruption, is incapable incompetent and guilty of the gravest abuses of power, it is
 
 Deal after deal is consummated with the colossal impudence and effrontery of freebooer of the Mid dle Ages or the cool insolence of buccaneer of the Spanish Main.
 At whose expense
 At the expense of the tax payers of the little town of Nome.
 With this city council the homely axiom is "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
 With this city council the purpose is to not let go its fangs until the last dollar has disappeared from the city treasury and the city is still further plunged into debt.
 The fg-leaf of utter Responsibility is bound upon its brow with but two exceptions, there is not a member of this council who has any financial interest at stake and little of any other kind
 And this spoliation will go until-the people rise up in their might and hurl the men, recreant to every trust imposed in them from their little places of petty power

THE OLDEST CODE OF LAWS.

Recent discoveries made by dgent diggers in Susa, Persia, have brought to light whole code of laws which date back to 220O B. C.. period as far antecedent to the conventional date of the delivery of the law on Mount Sinai the Norman conquest was to the battle of Waterloo. These laws were col lected and codifed by Persian king who regned at least twentytwo centuries before Christ. Some of these laws date back, it is stated, probably for a thousand years before the reign of the codifer. The code consists of two hundred and eightytwo articles about sixty. than fifth, devoted to the definition of womans rights. About thirty of the articles still extant, regulate the tenor and taxation of land. There many articles prescribing pun shment for various kinds of assault the system being that of eye for an eye and tooth for tooth, sub sequsntly adopted by the Hebrews. The code insists much on the sanctity of the oath, to which im- portance was attached that seems strange in these days when perjury is so common.
 We have space only for brief reference to few of these laws The saloon keepers, or wine merchants, of those ancient days seem to have been women and if they made the price of drink less than the price of corn" the penalty to drown the wine merchant in the river, rather drastic penalty for selling too cheap. If the wine merchant permitted a riotous assemblage in her house she put to death. If a man struck his father his hand was cut off If . man caused the loss of "gentleman's eye" his own torn out, but if it was "only poor mans eye' he paid for the loss in silver. If tooth knocked out lone shall make his tooth fall out" The laws for the repression of theft Brigands and burglars were doomed to death. Any man caught stealing from burning house thrown into the flames and burned to death. A constable who neg lected to perform a mission hired someone else to do it was put to death. thief who stole OK, sheep. ass, pig ship had to pay twentyfod if he were a poor man. tsnfold. If he could not pay he was killed. The receiver of stolen goods put to death So was anyone who stole goods from temple or palace, and so, also, anyone who uttered threats against witness.
 Doctors responsibilities severely enforced. If patient died while being treated "with lancet of bronze for severe wound the surgeon was to lose "one of his hands" Sumptuary laws were known, and several articles forth the wages to be paid to various iptons of workmen. Others fix the hire of oxen, of wagons, boats, etc. very curious law ordered any judge who altered his judgment after it pronounced to pay twelvefod the penalty in the judgment, after which he was expelled from the judg- ment seat.

DEBT FILING UP.

The present indebtedness of the little town of Nome, with a popu- lation of less than 2,5OO, is over $35, ,00O. The SALARY LIST at the present time amounts to $30,OOO a year during the summer season it reaches FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. When the present "reformers," " who constitute the city council, assumed office the debt of the town amounted to $30,OO0 it has since increased $5,OOO, notwithstanding the fact that the receipts since this council took office have reached the respectable sum of $42,OOO.
 What has become of the money |? Impliedly. a large portion of it has been paid for salaries the town is run on the salary plan. When a man is to be rewarded at the ex- pense of the city, the salary at- tached to the office is raised and then place is made for him. In this way is the money of the city wasted, that political and other debts may be paid.
 For all this reckless waste of the city's money what benefits have been derived |?
 The city has fire department, and a creditable one. It had it before the present council went into office. It also had a police force. Therefore. the maintenance of fire department and a police force represent about the sum total of the "benefcent" work of the council.
 Look at the condition of the streets today. There is scarcely a rod on Front and other planked streets but must be replanksd next spring. Ano in the mea ntime an irresponsible set of men are play ing ducks and drakes" with the city's money.
 Elsewhere are printed the fig ures upon which the above state ments are based. Look at them for yourself.

street and cleansing departments are providing smooth pavements and we'll swept and sprinkled streets, to the end of getting rid of irritating, germ-laden dust. The water supply departments are not content, any longer, to provide an abundance of their needful com modity, but constantly employ bacteriologists to make sure that the drinking supplies are free from the germs of typhoid and other diseases. The school administra- tion not only provides daily ra- tions of ":the three R's," but con- stantly inspects the health of the children, with view to preventing epidemics, to saving children's eyes, and so on. The proper phys ical development of the child will henceforth more and more be re- garded by the public schools as much their proper concern as the instruction of the youthful mind.
 The best authorities now hold that the ravages of consumption can be made to disappear through the use of proper precautions against the spread of tuberculosis germs, and further, through the use of the right measures for the prevention and the cure of the dis ease in individual cases. These right measures have to do chiefly with the mode of living. The whole thing may be summed up in the one dictum-plenty of fresh air. How to make application of the dictum in given case is, of course, matter for careful study.

A WAR AGAINST DISEASE.

Everywhere throughout the civilized world, ex- cept of course, in Alaska, the health conditions of the people are regarded matters of government
 tai activity. Indeed t might be said that uni versal education and the public health are fast be-
 coming the first concerns of statesmanship. Great progress has been made chiefly under public aus- pices, in the devising of new and hopeful methods for the treatment of our typical national disease, tuberculosis. The tenement-house administration of New York and other great cities is directing itself to the object of providing as much fresh air and sum- light as possible in the homes of the people. The
