responsive chord from the mem

erection Of d structure to cost from

While the city is not in position
to command the requisite cash for
this outlay *at the present time
there is every indication that the
treasury will be enabled to stand a

up the matter with a more definite
result. The improvement is one
which is greatly needed and we
hope. the present administration
may be enabled to carry the prop

This is to certify that NJ. p. Nc.

on the Outlet Sewer, and with the

formed all work required by his

Mr.. Mcdonnell is now entitled to

Placing brick collars and shoppers

Plastering inside of man holes to

You should not forget THE NUGGETS
"Spring Cleanup Edition. to be published
about June 1, next. Seward peninsula and
it's great mineral resources will scarcely be
represented at the Worlds Fair at st. Louis
this year, but this edition of THE NUGGET
will be there, and it will tell of the progress
already made in opening up extensive gold
fields, backed by accurate data concerning
their development. Every business man in
this section, every mining man and miner
should be interested in this publication. 1t
will in itself be good exhibit from Alaska,
and, although exhibits of our mineral and
other resources may be wanting, it will be
the means of disseminating among tens of
thousands of people accurate information
concerning Northwestern Alaska. You can
help make this edition the success it should
be. Are you willing to assist? The i'm
portance of having Seward peninsula repre-
scented at the big Fair is illustrated in a
Washington interview with Former Mayor
Rustgard of Nome, published elsewhere in

to make a selection, and the "dear people"
who elected them must, perforce, assist
them in making choice.
THE NUGGET is not specially interested
in this very momentous and all-overpower-
ing question. In fact it does not care a rap
who shall carry the title. There are plenty
of good men from which selection should
be easily made. They are well known, and
probably any one of them would fill the
Office as we'll as it can be expected for any
man to do so. Objection is being made, and
with considerable justice it must be con-
fessed, because the seven councilmen allow
themselves to be monkeyized by their fail
ure to get together" 1t does not matter
so much who shall be chief of police but
there are ample reasons why municipality,
small and unimpOrtant though it may be,
should not be made laughing stock for the
delectation of more ''civilized" communities
We do not know that chief of police is
necessary to the safety and welfare of this
community, but if he be, there is just one
plain, simple duty for the city council to
perform: Let the members quit monkeying
and get down to business, and show that
the welfare of the town is more important
to the people at large than is the question,
"Who shall be chief of police?'

LET REASON GOVERN.

A certain candidate for the position of
chief of police has been assaled with con-
siderable bitterness because he is alleged to
have been deputy sheriff in the Occur
d'Alene country, Idaho, strike few years
ago. We do not know with what specific
acts he is charged, but we will venture the
assertion, without in any way espousing the
cause of the aforesaid candidate, that the
charges are mainly without foundation in
fact If an officer of the law discharges his
duty, within the law, we fail to see why any
American citizen or body of citizens who
deserve the name. should condemn him for
it. The fact of the matter is that the null
titude are tickle and Oftentimes unreasOn-
ing. They exalt today and throw down to-
morrow with equal alacrity and unreason.
Because man protects life and property is
no reason that he should be gullotined
forthwith. The Occur dAlene troubles are
past and gone, and the roting and blood
shed which accompanied them were not
creditable to either of the interested par
ties-the strikers or strikes. In fact these
troubles were punctuated by acts of vio-
lence which were unprecedented and espe-
cially un-American, and which have left
their stigma unto this day.

MONKEY AND PARROT TIME.

A ludicrOus situation in municipal affairs
is that illustrated by the city council in
their inability to select man for chief of
police of this small burg. In order to give
the city fathers a tip in the right direction
a number of public meetings have been
called in the interests of certain candidates,
and against them also, be it said. The Sc
lection of a chief of police for even so small
and insignificant town as Nome seems
fraught with momentous Importance to
someone or other for some reason or other.
The election of seven city councilmen less
than three weeks ago pales into the veriest
insignifcance before the ponderous ques-
ton: "Who shall be chief of police %
Why all this perturbation? Why should
mass meetings of support and dissent be
deemed necessary in order to settle the
question? What bundle of axes are to be
ground by the men most actively interest
ing themselves in the matter? TO the in
dependent and disinterested observer,
coupled with feeling of disgust, there
comes the belief that there must be ''juicy
graft somewhere in sight, or the awarding
of an Office which carries a salary of $175
per month would not create such confusion
and dissension. What other construction,
it may be asked, can be placed upon the
eager, not to say unseemly, scramble which
is being made for the Office?
The act of incorporation under which
Nome is doing business does not provide
for the election of a chief of police by the
people. This privilege is delegated to seven
councilmen, but it would seem, in view of
recent events, that they are not competent

newspapers are little skeptical about the
latest announcement of his demise He
"has been laid out for burial on several pre-
vious occasions, and has always survived to
attend the funeral of his undertakers, F." re-
marks the New York World lind. Dem j;
and the Philadelphia Inquirer Rep.) the
organ OF Senator Quay, one of Senator
Platt's closest political friends, observes
Sagely: "We have no sort of notion-that

He has been beaten to standStill many
times, only to be resurrected and erect monu-

These remarks are apropos of conference
held in Washington recently between Sena-
tor Platt, Governor Odell and President
Roosevelt, in which it is said that the Sena-
tor was 'depOsed'' as Republican boss in
New York state, and the scepter given to
Odell. The narrow Republican victory in
the state in 1902 and the big Democratic
sweep in New York city in 1908 are consid-

has existed for some time between the Sena
tor and the governor every one admits, and
the President has seemingly been assisting
Mr.. Platt. The climax, so the story goes,
was reached when Governor Odell went to
Washington and told the President, in the
presence of Senator Platt, that if the latter

fact. Washington dispatch to the New

who disputes it. Governor Odell will take
