NO PRIMROSE PATH.

The new municipal council, elected last Tuesday, will have no primrose path before them. They will meet more thorns than roses, and probably reap more criticism than praise, no matter whether they de- serve either.
 We assume that an endeavOr will be made to place the city on better financial basis and that the greater portion of the revenues will not be used in the payment of salaries and for the reward of friends, for real or alleged services. Public improve ments are needed the streets will need re- planking, and it seems to us it is about time that the city took some steps toward secur- ing a permanent water supply of its own. There is absolutely no reason why the city of Nome should not be on a sound financial basis. It is one of the most absurd proposi- tions ever advanced that the sum of S65, ,00O should be spent in one year for carrying on the government of small municipality. We trust that the new council will rise to the occasion. It has good timber, and an opportunity will be presented to the mem bers to show the mettle of which they are made. Let us venture the hope that the government they will provide will be di- rected by good judgment and administered honestly and economically. And we believe it will.

"THE MIDDLE GLASS;"

Bishop Spalding, the gentleman who was hOnOred by Roosevelt with berth on the anthracite commission, for the water that such an appointment would draw to the Roosevelt political mill, and who was permitted to have grab at the congressional appropriation that was made for the Solo, mons who settled the strike, has declared that ''Only 35 per cent of our people can belong to the two great trusts-the labor unions and the trusts of capital Both are monopolies, and the great middle class, numbering 65 per cent, are ground to death in their mill''
 We wonder from what source the good, learned bishop has gathered his statistics Professor Ely, who has made careful re- 900 of the population of the United States are wage-earners, and, estimating that one half of this wage-earning army have fami- lies, and taking into consideration the fact that 3,OOO,OOO of our people are engaged in farming, the most of whom have families, for the middle class to form 65 per cent of our population.
 If, as the bishop says, the great middle class, numbering '65 per cent, are ground to death in their mill," how long will it be before the middle class will become extinct through the grinding process of competi- tion? Every student of social economy has come to the conclusion that the middle class exploiter is doomed, and but only a few

AN UNSATISFACTORY SYSTEM.

There is cause for the complaint that is being generally made as to the kind of juries which for more than year past have tried cases in the district court. It is freely stated that for nearly two years the jury commissiOners--the clerk of the court and private citizen-have not exercised due care in the selection of jurors, both grand and petit. The statement is made that an eX animation of the jury panels will show that representative business men and miners, with few exceptions, have not been called to serve on juries. It is as freely stated that, instead. men in need of job have been preferred to the exclusion of men who might reasonably be supposed to have some substantial interest in the country It is matter of serious moment, this trial by jury, and it is of vital importance that the best citizens of a community should be com pelled to do their duty as jurors. But they cannot be expected to do so when their names are excluded from the jury box. It Is a fact that two or more members of the same family have been summoned to serve on the regular panel of jurors in this fed eral division, and while it seems impossible for the jury commissioners to discover busi- ness men and miners when compiling their lists, it is a fact that a member of the last grand jury called in Nome was a stOwaway last fall on a steamship bound for the out side, and it naturally excited the wonder of prisoner upon whose case this juror had deliberated as told in the last issue of this paper. It Is also a fact that while the jury commissioners, Messrs. Borchsenius and Harrison, do not appear to have been able to find very many men who should meet all the requirements of jurors, they were able to secure at least another man who was prisoner in the federal jail, serving a sen tence for petit larceny. These cases are cited simply to show the loose way in which jurors are selected, and THE NUGGET wishes to direct the attention of the Hon. Alfred $. Moore, the judge of the district court, to an existing condition, in the hope that judicial cognizance may be taken of it. Given juries selected with care and discretion, life and property interests would be much better protected and deal more confidence would be placed in the judicial machinery of the district.

Mr. Hearst has toured some of the South ern states in the hope of inHating his boom for nomination in the National Democratic Convention of 1904. He is using all his political cunning to capture the "sold south" ;" and from the number of labor pa pers that are coming to the support of his political ambtion the impression is created that he is dispensing with a prodigal hand, some of the ammunition that fOrtities the hungry editor with determination to show his gratitude for favors received The labor paper which supports Hearst for the presi- dency, and at the same time yells, "Down with the trusts, shows a beautiful example of consistency. Hearst is now the propre
 tor of five metropolitan journals, and has already completed arrangements to estab
 fish the sixth, in cornering the newspaper field Hearst as ''truSt smasher,' may have some weight with the feeble minded and with editors with itching palms, but honest, intelligent laboring men know that his guns are loaded with blank cartridges.

Alaska is to be allowed but four delegates in the next Republican convention. As there have been two sets of delegates elect ed by rival Republican conventions, each claiming to be the real thing, and as each delegation contains six members. Alaska will certainly be we'll represented in Chicago, even if but four votes are allowed to the dis trict in the convention. Even to be two thirds of vote is something an Alaskan will be glad to be.

"FEDERAL INTERFERENCE"

For couple of years past the people of Nome and this section have heard a great deal about 'federal interference in munich pal politics. No specific charges have been made. Generalites that have not even glittered only have been indulged in. Old straw has been threshed and re-threshed until the people who talk of ''federal inter- ference actually presume that they have a copyright on the term. Now. We are some what weary hearing about 'federal interfer- ence," and we think, therefore, that it is about time that those persons and newspa- pers who have talked about it so glibly should be called upon to state explicitly what this interference consists of There fore, we ask:
 'Who is it that has ''interfered = Is it the judge of the district court, the United States marshal or the judges clerk of the court
 And if any of these officials or their dep- uties, or employees of whatsoever kind have been interfering in municipal politics, what is the nature of the interference
 Has the judge of the court ever come out in support of any candidate for municipal of flee, or indicated that a certain line of con- duct should be followed by municipal off cialS Has the clerk of his court ever taken an active interest in municipal politics and thrown whatever influence he may have possessed, or does possess, in favor of any candidate or candidates? Did he, in any way use his influence, if he have any, with the judge of the court in order that the present council should receive an extra amout of money from the school fund !? Have the deputy clerks in his office been ex treme partisans, and have they 'boosted' one municipal candidate or knocked another, or interfered in any way in local affairs
 Or has the United States marshal been unduly active ? Or any of his deputies :? And if so in what way? We want to know all about this 'federal interference" which has been used as ''bogie man" for couple of years past to frighien the innocent and guileless children of the North What about this 'courthouse gang which, ac cording to subsidized organs, have been Outraging the people? Who are they and what have they done ? We repeat that we want to know. The accusations already made have been entirely too vague. Spe- cifc statements are in order. The organs who talk about the courthouse gang in clude every official, great or small, in any way connected with that illustrious eaifice It is high time that the sheep were separat- ed from the goats. When the questions we have propounded have been answered in telligently and truthfully, we may have something more to say on the subject of ''federal interference'

Overworked Children.
From New York Times.


We all hear much. and we'll might hear
more, about the evil effects of "child labor,
but the phrase always refers to labor for
money in factories or stores. Yet children
can as easily be overworked in schools as in
the other places, and the results upon their
health of mind and body are much the same
in both cases Study is work for anyone, and
it is the very hardest kind of work for the i'm
mature and unframed brains of children.
Four or FIVE hours day of lesson preparation
and recitation are quite enough for them
quite as much as can safely be imposed apon
ordinary pupils-quite as much as are likely
to be profitable to any pupils not Of eXcep-
tional endurance and mental ability. The
work of WEAKNESS is never well done, and that
OF exhaustion Is destructive waste. those 9!
us who can remember the New England
schools of 40 years ago know that they were
pretty bad schools, according to modern ideas
of pedagogy, for the discipline was often harsh
and the amount of Learning by heart that
went on was iamentably great, but those
schools did teach thoroughly the essentials OF
a common education, and they did 1t for
the most part within the regular hours OF the
two daily sessions The smaller children did
no studying whatever at home, and the bigger
ones very little until the time came-tor some
of them-seriously to 'prepare for college.
And some Of US who went to those schools are
prejudiced enough to believe that their pupils
advanced as fast aud as far as do the products
OF the new fashioned educational mills, where
home study, and lots of it, Is the invariable
rule. Moreover, the home study makes the
adult members of a family almost as misera.
bic as it does the children, for its usual effect
is to turn some of them into supplementary
teachers, and to give the rest an unhappy feel.

The roses were the first to hear
The roses trellised to the tomb;
Bring roses-hide the marks of spear,
And cruel nails that sealed His doom.
The lilies we're the first to see
The lilies on that Easter morn;
Bring liles-crowned with blossoms be
: The head so lately crowned with thorns.
The roses were the first to hear;
Ere yet the dark had dreamed of dawn,
The fiutest rustic reached their ear;
They heard the napkin downward drawn;
They listened to His breathing low;
His feet upon the threshold fall.
Bring roses-sweetest buds that blow
His love the perfume of them all.
The lilies were the first to see;
They, watching in the morning gray,
Saw angels come so silently
And roll the mighty stone away;
They saw Him pass the portals gloom;
He brushed their leaves-oh, happy dover
Bring lilies-purest buds that bloom,
His face reflected in each flower.
The roses were the first to hear,
The lilies were the first to see;
Bring fragrant flowers from far and near
To match the Easter melody
"Rabbonir' be on every tongue,
And every heart the rapture share
Of Mary, as she kneels among
The roses and the lilies fairl
