EVIL COUNSEllORS.

An editorial article this page deals
with phase of Alaska life which is all too
familiar to people who have lived for any
length of time in Alaska. The editorial to
which we refer is entitled Gan Unsubstan
tial Lie In it we have been compelled,
through force of circumstances, to intro
duce personalities. THE NUGGETS criti-
cism of Judge Moore in relation to the sub
ject matter of that editorial would be much
from his first appearance in Nome he has
been surrounded too frequently by evil adj
visers, men who have endeavOred to caiole,
hatter and play upon him whenever and
wherever possible. From our own expert
ence and observation we do not hesitate to
say that he has been lied to and deceived
wilfully and knowingly by men who have
professed to be his friends. These high
binders seem to have stopped at nothing
they have used calumny, exercised deceit,
sounded the plummet of meanness and con-
temptibility in order to crush their enemies,
real or alleged and exalt themselves. These
poor, foolish moths seem to have forgotten
that while they played with fire they them
selves were likely to be scorched. The
man who attempts to pull down another,
that he himself may rise few inches
higher, invariably forgets that he is laying
foundation of misdeeds that will eventual
ly engulf himself.
The man who listens to SANDER is not
without reproach the man who circulates
it, whether in private conversation or from
the forum, is not citizen of exemplary
type, nor one in whom trust should be re-
posed However, this type of men are their
own worst enemies, and the ashes of repent
ance are likely to cover their own dishon-
Ored heads.

The indications are that about the same
number of people will come to Nome this
year as last Nome, as a mining field and
center, stands we'll at the outside 1t is
also gathered that considerable interests be-
ing evinced in the Kotzebue sound country,
especially the Inmachuk, the fame of whose
riches has reached the States The tin
fields of Cape York district are also COM
there is no doubt that the present season
will be the busiest yet seen on the peninsula.

AN UNSUBSTANTlAl LIE.

81 remember one injunction matter that came up
before me some time ago in which you engaged,
and considerable protest followed against this court
for granting the injunction n The
court was denounced more in regard that injunc-
ton than for any other action of this court, and
informed that the EDITOR of THE NUGGET was paid
S400 at that time for WRITING and PUBLISHING an
EDITORIAL severely crticsing this court"
The above quotation is taken from the
Nome News of June Z. 1t purports to be
the words spoken by Judge Alfred S. Moore,
of the District court, on the evening of May
81, while hearing an application for the
modification of an injunction in mining
suit
The words quoted, as matter of fact,
are the words of Judge Moore, used on that
occasion, the only misstatement made being
the word editorial" which should read
'article." This is what Judge Moore, him
self, says. He admits that he made the
statement-that he was informed that "the
editor of The NUGGET was paid $500 at that
time for writing and publishing an article
severely criticising the court
Judge Moore's informant was and is a
deliberate liar and falsifier, and he is here
branded as such. This will be apparent.
when it is here stated that Judge Moore re-
ceived his information from THE OFFICE OF
THE NOME NEWS.
In an interview on Wednesday last, the
editor of The NUGGET asked Judge Moore
as to the source of his information He
stated plainly that it came from the Nome
News Office and with the statement he con-
nected the name of the alleged editor
and manager of that publication. Judge
Moore further stated that his informant had
told him at that time the Nome News had
been offered the sum of $500 to print the
same, or similar article to that published
in THE NUGGET in August, 1902, in re, a
Grass gulch injunction case, and that the
$500 had been rejected by the News.
1t is needless here to comment further
upon the News rejection of such an offer.
The editor of THE NUGGET simply wishes
to brand Judge Moore's informant as a will
full, malicious and deliberate liar, too small
and contemplate to waste many words upon.
Not one atom of truth is contained in the
statement which the News hired man made
to Judge Moore, in the first place, and yet
It's indecent management would attempt to
accentuate the rank falsehood which was
poured into the ears of Judge Moore twenty
one months ago.
In listening to an ex parte statement and
in using it to the detriment of the editor of
THE NUGGET, Judge Moore, we think,
abused his prerogative as Judge and low
cred the dignity of his court A Judge of a
court should be above taking the unsupport-
ed statement of one man and using it, IN
HIS JUDICIAL CAPACITY, to club another
who may have criticised his JUDICIAL ACTS,
whether rightly or wrongly.

The little Duxbury, of the mosquito class
of ships that go down into the sea- deserves
a need of praise. The gallant little vessel,
of scarcely forty tons, went against the ice.

Nome Thursday morning, only two hours
behind the Corwin. Her master, Captain
Ohlemutz, is an old time Arctic navigator,

William r. Hearst seems to be making
long strides toward securing the Democratic
nomination for president, but the nomina-

possible that the conservative wing of the
party will be able to secure the nomination
of Judge Parker, of New York.

The good ship Corwin and her gallant

previous record by five days and "bucked"
much heavier ice. Here's to you, Captain

News from the outside by late steamers
indicates that dull times may be looked for
in the States. The period of imitation has
reached it's ultimate and the reaction has
begun. This, however, will not affect
Alaska. Hard times do not trouble a new

Sign Of the -Four"

Walter Edwards appeared at the
Bijou Theatre last night as Sherlock
Holmes" in Sir Conan Doyle's play, THE
Sign Of the -Four" While it Is a detective
story pure and simple, it is not one Of
those productions dependent upon ex-
ploslons of gunpowder, the display OF
knives and drinks to make it IL thriller.
"rhe Sign of the Four is strongly
drawn and admirably presented by Mr..
Edwards and his company,
Mr. Edwards possesses fine physique
and a magnificent voice. In his role as
the detective he Is free. capable and
there Is absolute freedom from ranting.

There Is an absence OF gun play in

tempt, of Major John Shotto and his wife

of her property, The detective, Holmes,
is captured by the accomplce of the
women, bound and is placed in posi-
ton to be burned to death, His captor
obliSinGly hands the detective cigar
and lights it for him. and with it the
ropes are burned. The detective then
rescues the heirs who has been cap
tured, and the play ends with all hands
happy and the villains In jnil.
The play is good one and we'll worth
seeing. There Is matinee to-day, with
regular performances every night.

more Bibles to those scholars or teachers
who would bring five new members to
their respective schools during each
month. DR.. PiGher presented in well
chosen language "a Bible to one OF the
scholars who had brought in five new
pupils.
The subject OF discussion was 1.-THE
Z Teachers Duty to Scholars in and Out OF
School,; the chief speaker being Dr..
Pitcher whose large experience In this
work enabled him to present in an off
hand and easy style some suggestive
and impressive thought. He and other
speakers quoted from '"reachers and
Teaching" by Trumbull, showing they
had read this valuable work.
The singing was unusually. good. The
people of Upper Henrico are TO be con-
graduated upon the work this assoc
citation is doing. 1t Will contribute to
the happiness Of the present and future
generations of their citizens. The asso-
cation meets the first Sunday evening in
each month. The churches are in easy
