brought about by the enactment of any special legislation Its relegatiOn to the municipal limbo was due solely to the efforts of the citizens who were tired of municipal rottenness and who united in an effort to secure good government for their city. It required good, hard, painsta1ing, earnest work, but it succeeded. One trial convinced them that it paid. By the election of an honest, hardwOrking mayor, pledged to re- form, which he did not forget when elected, the era of true reform was inaugurated. The heelers and grafters were astOnlshed. They protested. So did some of the snug, good citizens, who were averse to seeing the Graft abolished, because directly and indirectly they protited by it. But the work of reform went on. City officials owing their places to the appointive power, soon found that honest service and strict atten tion to duty only would avail them in keep ing their places secure. The result was wonderful, and for several years past Bati more has boasted with reasonable pride that it is ''without a graft.
 Speaking largely it may be said that the citizens of any community are solely re sponsible for the kind of government they receive. When people wink at graft ano dereliction of duty on the part of their pub lie officials, what else may be expected thar msgOvernment?

WOULD YOU BE WELL HELPED?

When the Senatorial Committee was in Nome last summer they inquired into many alleged grievances of which the people of this section of Alaska complain. Senator Patterson, of Colorado, paid especial atten- tion to complaints against the United States Mining laws. His colleagues - Senators Dillingham;, Burnham and Nelson - also evinced much interest Mining men and others who talked to the committee pointed out the inadequacy of the present mining laws to meet the conditions encountered in this frozen section of the north Senator Patterson stated explicitly that if the miners and business men would get together and unite on something tangible for the amelio. ration of alleged existing conditions, he and his colleagues of the committee would guar antee relief by congress. The miserable in suffcency of alleged assessment work: the tieing up of large areas of mineral ground for speculative purposes; the claim record ing farce as followed in this section, were all pointed out to the committee and com mented upon forcibly by Senators Patterson and Nelson. But did the people directl interested take any action? Not bit of

profit through the enhancement of the value of their real estate, and raise subscriptions for a city hall. The modest assurance of the proposition is in keeping with most of the acts of the city council. In the west end they appeal to people to subscribe ''be- cause the city hall is to be located in the west end and something should be done to secure it. It is thus attempted to appeal to the smallest kind of local prejudice. ''If you don't build a city hall in this end of town the people of the other end will gob- ble it in the interests of Steadman avenue. y Fudge. Nonsense. Where a thing has to be gathered in at the expense of few peo- pie, they are welcome to it and all the per quisites it may bring. So far as we are concerned we do not care whether the city hall is located in the east end, the west end or in the middle The fact remains that the city council has squandered the money of the city, and it now goes begging in order to save itself from further obloquy. As if if could,

A CITY WITHOUT A GRAFT.

"A city without graft! Such is Balti- more. And it is large city, too. But it's business affairs are conducted by respons- ible men, along the same lines, and by ap- plying the same methods which they adopt in their private business. Offices are not bartered, nor are franchises sold by city councilmen to the highest bidders for their own profit. The municipal system which has been adopted prevents such traffic. There are no 'rake -offs' for subordinate officials, for the same system prevents it. Municipal corruption and malfeasance and misfeasance in office are unknown, because there is no opportunity for their indulg- ence

HOW CANADA ROBS US.

According to an article in an exchange, Canada is coming down into our highways and byways and is running off with our solid farmer citizens, with their pockets heavy with good hard cash Canada has got 15O,- GOO good American farmers slowed away on farms up in her northwest territory already, and she is running them over the border by thousands.
 This is the way Canada goes at it: Into the wheat territory west of Michigan and Ohio and east of the Rockies she has sent an advance guard of scouts who are commis- stoned to bring under the Canadian flag every substantial American who can be in duced to leave his own country. These offer as inducements 16O acres of good wheat land free, your own choice in block 1000 miles square. They offer railway fares of a cent a mile if people will live six months of the year for three years on this land. They do not have to become citizens, they just go and take up big stretch of good farming land. That's one end of the scheme
 At the other end of it, on the vast plain stretching from the Red river to the Rockies and from the border to Athabasca, is another horde of government agents. These meet the probable settler as he gets off the train, and for three weeks he lives at the expense of the neighborhOod while he is picking out his land. Parties of would bes are taken to and fro free. It is pointed out to them that the government builds school in any com munity that has eight children or more, even if they are all in one family, and pays sev- enty per cent. of the teachers salary The Americans are not scattered: they can settle in communities if they wish. Their taxes are promised to be not over four or five dol lars year.
 The result of this scheme is already evi- dent. There is no state in the American Union more thoroughly Americanized than this thousand mile square tract of the Cana dian Northwest It is more American than New York or Ohio. There are already there in round numbers 15O,OOO Americans, 5O, ,OOO British, 10000 Germans, 5000 of other nationalities, and 100000 Canadians, and still the American farmers are shooting up over the border by the thousands. If this is not highway robbery what do you call it :: It is probably good thing financially for the American farmers. They get good wheat land free, timber for the cutting, and good Yankee neighbors, as they cannot help becoming political power in the land, and may perhaps, bring about the long dreamed of annexation. But meanwhile, we lose them, and the chances are that their places here at homo will he filled with an irfario, class from Eastern Europe. Canada is foxy. She is doing herself good Mean while she is doing us-well, she is doing us. Canada needs to be looked after Ii she'd only make bid for some of the riff raff of Southern Europe that's swarmine into our ports today by the hundred thous ands, we wouldn't say a word, but to take our best gentlemen farmers well, that's 6 bit unfair.

BY PRIVATE SUBSCRIPTION.

Nome Is to have a Sure-enOugh city hall. It is to be paid for by private subscriptions. Perhaps. A number of public spirited citi- zens have come to the rescue of the city council and have subscribed their names to paper whereby they agree to pay certain amounts toward enabling the city council to put city hall on the lot purchased last fall for $500. No fault is to be found with the enterprising gentlemen who have thus sig nitied their willingness to once more "dig down in their pockets and raise fund for the purchase of city hall. Their subscrip- tions are matter that appertains solely to themselves and, therefore, they are without the pale of criticism.
 But can as much be said for the present city council That body has been in exist ence for nearly ten months. A revenue of upwards of 1000 has been raised, and what has become of it: For the greater part it has been used in the payment of sal aries to favored officials. Places have been made for friends of city councilmen in order to discharge debts and private obligations The affairs of the town have been admins tered in a shamefully reckless manner. 'Ducks and drakes" have been made of the taxes wrung from the men who are trying to do business in the city. The grossest kind of extravaganza and mismanagement have been manifested and the mismanage- ment and extravaganza are fully evidenced in this last attempt on the part of the city council when they ask private citizens to build city hall. We may say that the act was not authorized at a public meeting of that body. But it seems to be fathered by the city council. The seal of endorsement has been set upon it. You are not com pelled to "go down in your jeans by legal enactment, but ''your subscription will be thankfully received
 In this procedure the city council plainly says: We have purchased a lot {; we have squandered the money of the people, we have only enough left in the treasury to pay the salaries of our friends and hench. men; therefore, we appeal to you, dear people, to help us out of the hole in which we have placed ourselves.
 I've took office last April pledged tC economy, retrenchment and reform, well knowing that this slogan sounded pretty we'll and it was calculated to catch votes It was votes we wanted and those we got Now what are you going to do about it The people be damned"'
 This is no fancy story. The quoted sen tences are the uttorances made, at sundry and divers times, by some of the men who dominate the city council of Nome today. And we do not think they will repudiate them.
 Having violated every promise made, some of these men wish to fool the people a little longer Therefore they call to their aid few friends, some of whom hope to

The Oceana cleared from his port
on October 2 with a cargo of 1911
bales of cotton from Alexander Sprunt
& Sons for Liverpool. 1t is said that
this vessel will attempt to break the
record in the number of bales OF cotton
carried from this port. Up to the pres
ent time the British steamship Anglo
Saxon, 2,611 tons, holds the record, hav-
ing cleared on December 9rd with 1900
bales. 1t is believed that the Oceana
is capable of breaking this record.
