LAWS APPLY TO ALL.

Jury in the district court, the other
day, after being out nearly twenty four
hours, were unable to agree as to whether
an Eskimo, indicted by the grand jury on a
charge of manslaughter, was guilty of the
crime charged. The defendant killed
another native: this was not denied, but
there were eXtenuating circumstances: the
man who was killed, it is alleged, having
threatened to kill the defendant ''on sight. !"
In this, the homicide probably carried out
his tribal instincts as well as the instinct of
avowed enemy. The homicide, too, acted
as many "civilized' men would and have
acted in a country where the observance of
law and order was unknown. When one
man declares that he would take the life of
another at the first opportunity, what is
more natural than that the threatened one
should arm himself to meet his threatener?
That is the purely human, and therefore,
somewhat british side of such situation.
There is moral side to it, however, which
carries its own lesson. No man has the
right to take the life of another because
threats against his own life have been made.
Therefore, to let an Eskimo or a white man
go unwhipt of justice for taking, unneces-
sarily human life, cannot be looked upon
with any degree of equanimty. To be sure
the only code of retrbutive ethics known to
the savage is life for life. He lacks the
understanding of his more civilized brother
the white man-but even if he does, should1
he not be shown his error by the only object
lesson that he can understand depriva
ton of his liberty for season?

AS TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE.

1t may be that chief of police is not
needed in the city of Nome, or it may be
that the present incumbent affords entire
satisfaction to the members of the city coull-
Gil. If the latter hypothesis be true, then
it is the duty of the council to re-appoint
him to the Office. But, if, as it is under
stood, the city council, or majority of the
members, desire a change in the head of
the police department, there seems to be no
adequate reason why that change should
not be made. That deadlock should exist
over the appointment is certainly an anoma-
lous condition of affairs in so small munich
pality as Nome, To disinterested observer,
the delay in electing a chief of police does
not rebound to the credit of the city council
The delay and procrastinion witnessed saw
ors of political deals and subterfuges that
do not reflect a great deal upon either the
intelligence or the ability of the gentlemen
who compose the city council to promptly
meet the situation which confronts them
1t is to be presumed that the members of
the city council are DESTROYS of doing that
which will best subserve the interests of the
municipality; and yet the tactics shown thus
far in the administration of their duties are
not such as to inspire the profoundest conf
dence in their individual and collective
ability to discharge the duties which have
been reposed in them
There is a large number of candidates
for the position, and in justice to these men,
the council should speedily outline their
policy, not alone in the management of the
police department, but in all others, as we'll

SUBLIME TO RIDICULOUS.

The casual and unobservant reader
glancing over the debates in Congress in
search of oratorical gems, might be inclined
to pass by such a subject as the debate on
the urgent deficiency appropriation bill, as
certain to afford nothing which would by
possibility interest him. But here is where
he would fool himself 1t was in the debate
on the urgent deficiency bill, on January
20 last, that a new born and heaven sent
orator whose lips have been touched with
the divine fire, burst unexpectedly on an
awe-struck Congress; yet nowhere is the
fact recorded save in the Congressional Rec
ord itself, says an exchange.
1t was the Honorable Ariosto Alonzo
Wiley, of Alabama, whose name whose title
and whose state should always be given in
full whenever his name is mentioned here
after. 1t was in committee of the whole.
The subject under consideration was the
urgent deficiency bill, Mr.. Wiley took the
floor to open the debate. With that mag
nifcent disregard of the subject ostensibly
under consideration which is characteristic
of the greatest of Congressional orators,
Mr.. Wiley broke at once into a brilliant
eulogy of the late Jeremiah OBrien, native
of Ireland, and one time citizen of Maine
Placing himself on the ground that the
The Nome nugget., 1904-05-07

country owed it to itself to provide monu-
ment to this revered hero of East Machias,
not necessarily to be provided in the urgent
deficiency bill, but at all events some time,
Mr.. Wiley proceeded to shake hands across
the bloody chasm, while he paid a glowing
tribute to the fishermen and lumber men of
our northernmost state on the Atlantic sea
board. Thuse spake Ariosto Alonzo:
''These intrepid men from sawmil and
shipyard have gloritied our nations flag and
ornamented the brightest page of the annals
upon which are inscribed the brilliant events
which have transpired during the past one
hundred years of our fathers and sires. The
white angel of peace has descended upon
the village of Machias, in the state of Maine
and now abides within her gates.
The fact thus disclosed accounts for the
absence of this particular angel at the mo-
ment from scene where her presence is
urgently desired. And again:
''The sweet flowers of hope and faith
are climbing and blooming over the ruined
and deserted cannon, which once belched
forth the fires of death and carnage in the
first sea fight of the revolutionary war;"
No brief extracts such as these can more
than give faint and inadequate idea of the
oratorical talent of the Hon. Ariosto Alonzo
Wiley. If it be asked why he, from the far
South, should feel such an interest in
a New England patriot, the answer is at
hand. He gives the question and the
answer: 'The only real lberator is Truth,
and she makes none free save those who
strive to break their own letters
After reading such an Grafton as this in
such glowing language the limitations of
the Congressional Record are brought home
to the reader with a shock. Following the
Hon. Ariosto Alonzo Wiley comes Mr..
Baker, of New York, who, addressing the
house upon the same subject, devoted the
fifteen minutes of time allotted to him to the
attempt to prove by documentary evidence
that from No ID, Gano alley, in the city of
Cincinnati o., there were at one time regis
tered sixty-four men. This coming down
to earth was further emphasized by the fact
that at the conclusion of the speeches of
Mr.. Wiley and Mr. Baker, the only two
made, the committee arose and solemnly re-
ported to the house that the committee had
had under consideration the urgent de-
ficency bill and had come to no resolution
thereon; in other words, Congress sat to
hear Mr.. Wiley and Mr.. Baker talk and then
reported to itself 'nothn' dom"

A VICIOUS SYSTEM OF TAXATION.

That the people of Alaska are long -suf-
fering is amply evidenced every day. They
are taxed in manner that no other resi-
dents of any portion of the United States
are taxed The federal government levies
special tax upon nearly all kinds of bust
ness, and the incorporated municipalities
adds yearly to the burden. Under our pres.
ent system there is no such thing as equi-
table taxation still in all the states and ter
ritories it is less grievous than in Alaska,
because it is more evenly distributed. In
Alaska, however, the few bear the greater
portion of the burden, and this is placed
with unerring regularity upon their Shout
ers. 1t may be truthfully said that no other
portion of the United States could or would
bear the taxation placed upon the people so
The Nome nugget., 1904-05-07

uncomplainingly. This speaks well for the
ability of the people to meet these legaized
demands and for their cheerfulness in com
plying with the law which authorizes sys-
TEN of special taxation upon the citizens of
this district.
During the year ending May the peo-
pie of Nome contributed directly in taxes
for the support of the municipal govern
ment and the public schools the enormous
sum of S65, 900. And this in town which
does not number more than 5000 permanent
residents of all sexes; that is t. say, for
each man, woman and child residing in the
town the sum of twenty dollars, approx
mately, was contributed for the maintenance
of the municipality and its schools. The
figures are startling, but true. And they
do not represent by any means the sum
total of the various other forms of taxation
levied directly and indirectly upon the peo-
pie Any community or country must have
great recuperative powers that can stand
such constant drain.
To the average man it would seem that
the strictest business principles should be
applied to the administration of city affairs
The federal taxes must be paid but we sub
NIT that these, which now go in their en-
tirety to the support of the municipal gov
eminent and the schools, should be amply
sufficient, under careful, honest and econOm-
ical management, to provide fully for all
the demands of city government In other
words, if the right kind of economy were
ioH ho m
enforce system of double taxation upon
the men who are carrying on business in
the town.
