WINGS MUST FLAP TOGETHER

Philadelphia, January S.-Leaders of the two wings of the democratic party in Philadelphia were brought together to- night by tho Old Hickory club which gave a dinner in celebration of Jackson day. Democrats of prominence throughout the state and several members of congress were present. Letters of regret from Grover Cleveland and United States Sena- tors McCreary of Kentucky and Tillman of South Carolina David B. Hill and w. Bourke Cochran. were read
 Senator Tillman in sending his regrets said;
 "Washngton, January '. M F. Doyle Secretary of Old Hickory Club, Philadelphia;
 Dear Sir: The sentiment which l would propose to the democrats who will honor the memory of Jackson at the banquet Friday next. would be this;
 "The dem cratic party will live as long as 1t deserV es to, and will command the support of a majority of the people when 1t shall demonstrate it's adherence to the grand principles of its fathers. When we stand for the people and their rights in a manner so unmistakable that they cannot be misled, the people will support the party in preference to any other.

CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE

1t is a source of pleasure and
satisfaction to see the numerous
and substantial improvements
which are being made in Lafa-
yette. They are a gratifying
evidence that the citizens of the
town have confidence in it, and
that is a most valuable asset.
Capitalist seeking investments
are greatly influenced by the
estimation in (which local mOneyed
men hold their own town. and
consider a proposition in proper
ton to the amount of cash home
people are willing to put w.
And as outside capital is needed
to fully develop opportunities, it
is fortunate that the spirit of
confidence is so pronounced
among our citizens.
The next step, and the obvious
one, would be to take advantage
of the present favorable condi-
tons and make an effort to
secure the necessary outside
capital in order to make the
growth of the town permanent;
for it is certain that without it,
a point must be reached where
growth must stop. This effort,
of course, will not be made, if it
is left to individuals acting on
their own iniative; it must be
done through an organized body
of substantial citizens. There
are enough public spirited men
in Lafayette to make an effective
body of the right kind, and who,
we are sure, would not hesitate
to assist along these lines. All
it needs is for some one to take
upon himself the responsibility
of calling for an organization.
Let some one of our business
men take the lead.

For ourselves and for our
children, we wish the life and
labOrs of this soldier citizen
shrined in bronze. A monument
to a great man is a guidepOst to
the higher way. 1t is a sign
board to aspiring youth. 1t is a
daily monitor that will remind
our children how they may make
their lives sublime. Let US write
in GOrdon's statue the noble
lesson from which our children
may learn unselfish service to
the State.
Let us lift above the rattle of
the cObblestOnes and the rOar
and wrangle of the greedy mart
this high and heroic figure that
will stand to the clear eyes of
youthful Georgia for patriotic
courage and unfiinching faith.
The heroes of the COnfederacy
are passing in a food. The few
who linger are dearer for their
numbers, but the tide is going
out. We lay our Gordon here in
the soil that bore him, and from
his brave record we must reap
our future riches in a noble. race
of men. He was d high figure in
our Arthurian legend of 1865.
He was the LauncelOt of that
great round table of matchlesS
knights and gentlemen who
made the cause that rose without
shame and fell without dishOnOr.
He fell on slumber in the land of
flowers. Let us bear him on our
hearts and in our brOnzes to the
land of immortal memories, and
in the royal grace of our own
and this great cOuntry'S rich
remembrance, let us liquidate in
part the debt which the republic
that lives and the storm Graded
republic that fell owes in free
dom and Paternity to this prince
of Christian chivalry.

AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE
To Gen. John B. Gordon by

The paean and the requiem
dies, the captains and the camps
depart. The eulogies are ended
and the sacred dust awaits the
last consignment to it's kindred
dust. The bugle TAPS" are
waiting and the soldier citizen,
wrapped in the mantle of his
peoples praise, is gathered to
his last repose.
1t is well worth living and well
worth dying to say farewell like
this.
AS we stand here amid the
pulsing tenderness of this inspir-
ing scene; as we listen here to
the tributes of touching elo-
quence paid by noble gentlemen
to this chivalric life-here where
the muf1ed drums thrOb rever-
ence and the vaulted arches echo
praise here where the thronged
aisles are fearful, and the flowers
defying winter breath their
perfumed incense to the soldiers
name-there comes to every
noble heart the inspiration:
May I die the death of the
patriot, and may my last end be
like this"
l think that our Georgia has
never had a funeral like the
sweet and solem pageant of to-
day. It is the spontaneous
tribute toa citizen-soldier from a
people who, under their thin
crust of materialism, are as
great and noble as himself. The
capacity to appreciate high things
and the grace to love good things
argues somewhere within US the
possession of those great quail
ties which we idealize in death.

never known how much they
loved and hon0red John B. Cor
don until he lies here in our
stately capitol, with the memory
tall human foibles smitten by
his silence, and his high and

the sacred majesty Of death. In

The boil weevil commission is
by law armed with authority ex-
tending even to ordering any par
ish or section in the State to cease
the planting of cotton that the
spread of the destructive insect
may be checked. But can such
power and authority be enforced
unless it has the sanction of pop
ular favor. For instance, it is
said that the weevil is in Louisi-
ana; that it. has made it's appear
ance in Sabine parish, and the
question arises. can the commits
sion enforce it's legal authority
without provoking an opposition
that would lead to serious conse-
quences. Men do not sto p to rea-
son that it takes drastic measures
to root out an enemy such as the
weevil, but fly to pieces and talk
of armed opposition if necessary.
The commission will do nothing
that will hurt the farmer classes
If it can do otherwise. but if it
should become necessary to quaran-
tine the insect or place one OF
more parishes under the ban of
prohibition the commission will
certainly do it, and they will be
acting for the public eood.-Avo-

The Value of a Vacation.
h. l. Enterprise

A vacation pays as much from a
pecuniary standpoint as from any
other point of view. just as "every
man is rascal when he is sick, SO
the best intentioned man in the
world may be brute when he is
worn out physically and working
and planning or trying to do SO
with a tagged, weary brain. The
brutal qualities in mans nature
came to the surface when he has
drained his vitality to the dregs.
He loses his self control his pas
sions get the better Of him. He
does things which in his soul he
condemns and says things for
which he afterward hates himself,
and all because he lacks physical
stamina. The long strain of the
year has made him 80 irritable
and exacting that the merest trifle
upsets him. He goes all to pieces
over little things which he would
not even notice If he were in good
bodily condition.

THE NEW AND THE OLD.

The third city council of the city of Nome has passed out of existence. Candor com pels us to say that there were few mourners at the funeral. The good that it did is not known certain it is that there is no record of it. The evil which it performed is left as a legacy to it's successor, and it, too, will probably soon be forgotten THE NUGGET does not believe in casting stones at the dead. ''Nil nisi mortuis bonum' (of the dead nothing but goOd) may, perhaps be quoted in favor of the late municipal body. As THE NUGGET has stated frequently during the past years, the people themselves are responsible for the kind of government which they receive. The people elected the late council, as they elected the present one. If, therefore, the people hold their servants to strict accounting for their acts, very little real harm will be done If, on the contrary, they evince the same indifference of the past, how can they justly, or with consistency, condemn any act of the men who represent them
 The new council is face to face with de pleted city treasury, with constantly increas ing debts and demands to be met. It will require considerable financial ability and wise foresight to place the municipality on a satisfactory financial basis. THE NUGGET wishes the new council success in any en- deavors they may make toward securing for the city good, clean, honest and economical government

 The fiat went forth short time since that fire proof vault was needed in the recorders new office; that the financially embarrassed government of this rich nation could not afford to pay the rent demanded and so subscriptions are asked to make up the necessary amounts for rent and to build the vault We commend the enterprise of the gentlemen who subscribed to the fund.- while not participating in it. If they chose to do so, that is their affair solely. But we submit that the United States government Is not pauper; it is not asking aims or subscriptions of its citizens.

THEY DON'T LIKE ALASKA.

Advices received from the outside dur ing the past winter are to the effect that capital is not eager for investment in the mines of Seward peninsula, for the princi- pal reason that capitalists fear litigation. This means that Seward peninsula has earned an unenyiable reputation on the out side because of the number of mining suits that have been brought in this judicial divi- sion and the uncertainty which accompan- ies and surrounds mining litigation. A gentleman, who recently arrived in Nome from "the States" says that mining men there are more conversant with conditions here than many men who are residents of this section. They keep in touch with every phase of mining development and mining litigation, begun with the very incipiency of the camp and the wholesale jumping of claims which has been reported, cause them to become wary and timid. Such is the con- dition reported and it is not pleasant one to contemplate.

 Religious bodies and reform conventions are apt to waste their strength in words. There is no danger that they will ever take more active measures to accomplish any thing. They do what they consider their duty, and though the rafters shake with the thunders of their applause the Mormon church will still be doing business at the old stand, without having experienced the slightest shock.

A QUESTION OF PAUPERISM?

1t is a melOdramatic commentary on the eternal fitness of things-in Alaska-that public office buildings, federal and mu
 nicipal, are, fguratively speaking, placed upon wheels and their location, for a shorter or longer period, sold to the high est bidders for cash. This was the case when the Nome postotfice was moved from years ago, and now the United States com
 missioner and recorders office has under
 gone like experience. There was, per
 haps, some excuse for peddlng the post
 office, since it was but third class one, and the postmaster was justified in making the best bargain that he could. But as far as the recorders office is concerned there is nothing in common. It is purely an office supported and maintained by fees received direct from the people-largely from the miners who are developing this country. The fees paid are in excess of those levied in any other portion of the United States, and the miners pay them. Yet the great government of this republic, as admins tered by it's agents in Nome, state by their acts that if the miners of this section of Alaska are to be decently accommodated and their interests protected, after paying high price for the services rendered by fed eral officials they and the business men of Nome must once more dig down in thelr pockets and pay for it. Alas and alack And yet tens of thousands of Alaska dollars

THE VALUE OF REAL ESTATE.

A number of real estate sales made re- gently points to the fact that the price of real estate is steadily rising For the past two years real estate in Nome has had a nominal value only. But change has set in, due to the fact that Nome has developed into permanent mining camp, at least for many years to come. This means that there is abundant faith in this section as a mining country, and in Nome as its chief conner cial center. The faith thus exempliied is not only due to the fact that Seward benin sula has almost unlimited placer gold fields, but the quartz developments of the past year seem to augur well for its future as quartz producer of great promise. There is already one assured quartz mine which is daily pro- ducing gold. There are others in the pro- cess of development, and every indication goes to show that within another year or two there will be a number of stamp mills actively in operation.
 There is, therefore, ample reason for the rise in real estate values in Nome, for it may be stated as an indubitable fact that the era of mining on Seward peninsula has scarcely begun.

Because the friends of the Booster Knocker in the late city council failed to hold up the city treasury to the tune of $500 for the Boosters benefit, in recent issue it turned like an ingrate upon it's former friends and helpers and abused them roundly. The late members of the council who befriended it time and again, perhaps, were surprised at such an exhibition of base ingratitude. But they need not have been. The little Booster is ''everything by turns and nothing long," It long since "passed the limit" of utter Responsibility. It has backed and filled, and twisted and turned and floundered in muddy sea of it's own creating "Ex\nihilo nihil fit''
