FOXY MR. HOXSIE.

No one will be found who will stoutly deny that Councilman Hoxse absolutely dominates the present city council, and that he bend ma orty to his will any time he sets about to do Hoxsie is an astute politician he knows how to attain his ends he hatter when he wishes, cajole when it humors him. and threaten and whip into line when it be- comes necessary Hoxsie has brains, which cannot be said of all the members of the city council and he knows how to them; he be smooth with a friend and polite with enemy, and, in short, like Joey Bagstock. he lis nice man. but devilish sly, devilish sly"
 Councilman Hoxsie has lot that he wishes to sell to the city. He wants $3,500 for it, he has told jority of the city council that the city needs the lot upon which to erect city hal jail and city offices. It will be admitted that the city needs all these, but may it not be urged with great force and truth that the city cannot afford at this time to pur chase Councilman Hoxses lot and erect city build ings? The city now, owing to the reckless extrava- gance of the city council is in debt, and the debt is increasing constantly; the burden should not be added to by purchasing lot to please Councilman Hoxse any other man. Nothing be urged against the location which is good and central, but much may be said regarding the advsabty of the purchase and the title to portion of the ground proposed to be delivered to the city.

A VERY LAME COMPLAINT.

TIE NUGGET's sem-weekly contemporary, in a recent editorial, stated in lame and hestatlng fashion that the proceedings instituted against Coun cilman Hill, Chief of Police Walingord and Police man Sackett looks like persecution" It then goes to say something about the reliability and veracty of "dance house frequenter," who made assertions about such prominent persons" as the above-named individuals It may be that the assertions of one dance hall requener just good those of an- other of either sex fail to wherein our con- temporary scored point. Not many months ago the people who trying to make it appear that no credence should be attached to the statements of dance hall frequeners attempted to procure the con- victon of Nome man for murder on the very same kind of evidence. But it makes all the difference in the world whose it is that is gored.
 TIE NUGGETs contemporary also wishes the pub lie to understand that it offers no defense of the 'council resolution per se," meaning the resolution passed by the so-called city council, which still stands, and which authorizes private individual to graft unfortunate women all and more than they can stand The ma jority of the city council with un- bushng effrontery, still permit the resolution" to blot the cys official records, knowing, however, that the graft has been stopped effectuay The ma ority of the city council utterly unworthy of conf- dence their opera bouffe antics, extravagant and unbusinesske conduct of the ctys affairs have de- stroyed their usefulness and lost them such conf- dence of the community as they possessed.

A number of local republican declaimers are very anxious that they should be known as being warm admirers of President Roose- welt. We have no quarrels with the gentlemen, but it may be point ed out that they have not a pre- scriptive right to all the admira- ton generated and born in Alaska for the president. Roosevelt is a much better man than many of his partisan admirers, and if 1t were not unkind we would feel like re- marking that the less he has of some brands of "admiration" that we know the more peace of mind and quietude of soul he will have. The admiration of many politi- cians, real and alleged, is in direct ratio to what profit they can get or have hopes of getting out of their stock in trade.
The Nome nugget., 1903-10-10

Judge Johnson has lived much longer in Alaska than any of his republican defamers; he has served Alaska faithfully, first as district attorney, then as judge of the whole territory. And who are the politi- cal partisans who. because they were defeated at a primary elec- tion, make puny attempts through paid and interested organs to be- smirch with slime an honest, up- right man! Judge Johnson needs no one to defend him. The frothy words of coterie of irresponsible, disgruntled, would-be politicians, and the coarse labuse iof alleged newspapers can do him no harm. Not one of Judge Johnson's small traducers would dare. to compare their records with his.

WHAT IT WILL MEAN.

The completion of telegraphic communication with the outside will be boon that will only be fully appreciated when results The line already completed to St. Michael has been of great practical benefit to merchants and business men. The completion of the wireless link, between Nome and St. Michael, if the system works we'll, will add to the value of wire communication with the outside world Its successful working the coming winter will mean that the people of this isolated community will be kept in touch with the daily important happen ngs of civilization and the feeling of utter isolation with which have heretofore been annually seized on the closing of navigation will not be experienced.
 We believe that things will move smooth ly;" may even expect that federal official braws will be mnimzed, since if there be quarrels and scandals, Washington will not be nearly far off as it used to be.
 Therefore may expect 8 good deal when we can touch the wires and make wants known in the "centers af the civilized" and at the time feel the pulse of the great outside from day day or from week to week.

THE NUGGET's local contempora- ries, which may be set down at all times as being mediums for the circulation of islanders and as pur- veyors of transformation, political and otherwise, seem to be earning the subsidies which they receive from the United States treasury. This, we are told, amounts to $50 per month, and when the editors and managers are not busy attend ing to their "office duties," which is but seldom, they are engaged in the manufacture of abuse of all local republicans and others who are persona non grata to the powers that be, to whose kindly interest they are indebted for their daily bread.

No, Reuben, there is no such thing as municipal corruption in Nome. The municipality is as clean and sweet as peach or chard its councilmen and officials are Josephs, except those that are Ichabods; it is no crime to receive five dollars for strip of paper, worth no more than a ticket in a Chinese lottery it is the "proper caper" to take all that you can get and to keep what you can; it's no use to kick. The fiat has gone forth and the seal of approval has been placed upon all goods marked "graft" and "loot."

The city council as at present constituted may always be depend ed to have occasionally two-spot who will stammer and stutter about "economy, retrenchment and reform" But the dear people will understand that the opposition to extravaganza and graft is merely opera bouffe. It was all "framed up" before.
