ter, tries to cast stones at the editor of this paper, who four years ago served as jury commissioner from July 21, 1900, to Febru
 ary, 1901, when he voluntarily resigned. No jury, however, which he drew or helped to draw was ever publicly charged with having been "jobbed.' And conditions during that period were much more chaotic than at the present time. It is matter of comment, whether justified or not that the same men should be so frequently called to serve on juries, as shown by the jury list, while numbers of representative business men-the men who ordinarily would be sup
 posed to have some interest at stake-are seldom called upon to do jury duty. We do not charge that favoritism is practiced, but it may be submitted that there is room for criticism. The jury commissioners may be honest in their intentions, but the results, we think, are not satisfactory. The fact remains that what THE NUGGET stated was absolutely true, and neither twisting nor turning, or evasion of any kind, can alter the fact that, in the opinion of this paper, the greatest care should be exercised in the drawing of jurors in this judicial division.

OUR "SPRlNG CLEANUP" EDITION.

The Spring Clean-Up Edition of THE NUGGET, which will be published on or about June 1, will contain accurate data concerning the different mining districts of the peninsula, gathered specially for this paper. It will contain complete resume of the work of last winter on the different creeks, together with forecast of the oper- atiOnS during next summer. It will be the first of the kind ever issued in this section of Alaska, and unquestonably it will be the means of disseminating accurate informa- tion concerning the great goldtields of this Northland.
 Several thousand copies of the edition, which will be finely printed will be sent to the Worlds Fair at St. Louis, and it there fore goes without saying that it will be read by tens of thousands of people. It will be an unexcelled medium for making the re- sources of Seward peninsula known. If you have mining property, or if you are in business, you want to be represented in this "Spring Clean-Up Edition" Our repre- sentative. Mir. L. Frank Shaw, a thorough newspaper man, and mining man as well, has charge of the work and THE NUGGET bespeaks for him a cordial support

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The criticisms of a weekly contemporary concerning the handling of the fire in the Arctic Brotherhood hall week ago, are, we think altogether unfair and have no foundation in fact. Anyone who took the trouble to examine the building after the fire was over and all danger averted could not but be impressed with the fact that the men who held in check a dangerous fire in such an iron bound building, and within such short time, must have known their business, and consequently are entitled to praise rather than censure.
 The task of fighting fire in a town of this kind in the winter season is a stupen- dous one. And added to the climatic condi tions are the lack of facilities and modern equipments whereby a fire can be con trolled. We take it that our contemporary s rather than at the men who make up the fire department, but the distinction was not finely drawn. In the last issue of this paper we pointed out the necessity of keeping the efficiency of the fire department unimpaired and the hope was expressed that petty mu nicipal politics would not be injected into the question of thorough fire protection. There is danger of this being the case. Self seeking individuals, in a position of temporary power, may do much to mar the efficiency of the department and create chaos and disorder This should be avoid ed by all means.
 No one will pretend that the Nome fire department is by any means perfect; but it is good when one takes into consideration all the difficulties by which it is surrounded. No sane objection can be urged against it's improvement in any line wherein it may be lacking, either as to personnel or equip ment; but no meddling city official who knows no more about fighting fire than he does about the ten commandments, should be permitted to make it a political machine for his own personal aggrandizement.

AS TO DRAWING OF JURIES.

THE NUGGET stated in a recent issue that the system adopted in securing juries in the district court IS not a satisfactory one. It permits the rankest kind of favor tism, and is open to the severest kind of censure. Just about year ago the state ment was made by the acting district attor- ney that the grand jury which was then in session had been "jobbed." No effort was made to disprove the assertion, and it still stands. A glance at the jury lists of the past two years will show that there are men who have been placed on the list of grand and petit jurors for the ensuing term of court who served in similar capacities a year or less ago. If this statement is doubt ed, the doubter is referred to the jury lists And yet there are any number of good cit- zens who have never served as jurors and whose names in all likelihood have never found their way into the jury box.

LAW BUT NOT JUSTICE.

A little more than a year ago the whole country was startled by the revelation of a condition of municipal corruption in Minne- apolis that was more degraded, more brazen and more general than had ever been known publicly in any city in the United States, say an exchange.
 Men were robbed and then driven out of town by the police, who shared the pro- ceeds of the rObberies safes were cracked while officers of the law stood on guard to see that the burglars were not disturbed at their work every known form of vice and villainy was allowed to flourish so long as blackmail was paid to the city authorities.
 The head of this reaching system of corruption was proved to be Mayor A. A. Ames. When the exposure came he fled to New England, and after his indictment re- sisted extradition for trial with desperation. He was brought back, tried and convicted of having received $500 from dsorderly women in consideration of their immunity from criminal prosecution, and was sen fenced to six years in the penitentiary
 The supreme court of Minnesota, yester- day, set aside this conviction on the ground that the $500 had not been collected in a lump sum or raised by the women acting jointly, but had been made up of blackmail collected in smaller amounts, such as S15 or S25
 To say that this outcome of the case will cause profound surprise and regret through out the nation, is to understate the truth. The people have just seen "Boss'' Butler, of St. Louis, convicted, under sentence to the penitentiary and admitting his crime, discharged by the supreme court of Missouri on just such a technicality Instance has followed upon instance where high officials or men prominent in municipal, state or national affairs have escaped through the meshes of the law without pretence of their innocence on the part of any one, even them selves.
 With no desire to reflect upon the integ- rity or wisdom of the courts, it may we'll be asked: What does this mean?
 Why is it so difficult to draw an indict ment against such men and to conduct their trials in such way that their convictions will hold
 Are our prosecuting officers ignorant of the law, or does their zeal become softened under certain conditions, or is the law itself at fault?
 These are questions to which the Ameri-

According to the vote on the city coun- Wednesday evening, 184 votes being count ed, the voters do not want a dog tax or poll tax; they want public scales, however, and are in favor of placing license tax on busi ness houses. The vote was small, and a streak of selfshness is to be seen in the re- suit. "No poll taxes or dog taxes" say the majority of the voters; "but we want public scales, and we are quite willing that the business men should pay all the taxes"

MIR. BRYAN AND DEMOCRACY.

William J. Bryan was in New York a couple of months ago. and he made politi- cal address in Madison Square Concert hall. It was under the auspices of no political club or organization of any kind Organi- zation Democrats were conspicuously absent, though the hall was jammed. The meeting was called by himself and organized by him self. He had advertised to speak to the "Moral Issues," and he did in his opening remarks, but long before he had concluded he was threshng over the same political straw that he made familiar four and eight years ago He had some words of praise for his Republican opponents, and he had many words of censure for his own party. He denounced the effort to make tariff re- form the only issue of the approaching cam pagn, saying that the Democrats had lost more elections on that issue than on any other. And his audience cheered him. Mir. Bryan said that when the next Democratic National Convention undertook to write a new platform it would find the last one a model of clearness and cOnciseness and of square dealing, and he hoped that it would be endorsed. He went on to say that it did not matter much what the name of the presi- dential candidate was, but it did matter what he stood for and in what direction he would lead the party He challenged the Repub- lican party to meet the moral issue present. ed which, he said, was Democratic and patriotic, and if this were done unless req son and love of country had fled, the Demo- crats could fight without being ashamed If they lost it would be but temporary de- feat and would bring no disgrace; if they won it would 'mean much for the country and the world"
 All of this goes to show that Mr. Bryan Is still "turned to his idols.'' Neither ex- perience of the past nor his "trip abroad has taught him new things politically. Mr.. Bryan, we fear, is a typlcal Bourbon-one who never learns or ever forgets. He doesn't want his party to ''get together" fearing, perhaps, that if such consumma- tion were effected, the name of Bryan would be almost forgotten. Mir. Bryan, loyal, unhinching Democrat though he may con- sider himself, is theoretical rather than practical. He urges the abatement of abuses, DuU lu IS SuDulluuSu UlldU Ilc OHcIS IO dueuuduc remedy.
 Corruption cannot be stopped with cor ruption. Instead of giving man S5 to vote the ticket, he should be branded with a branding iron. The same should be done to the councilman who sells franchise that belongs to the city; to the member of the state legislature who betrays his people for the right of gain the congressman or senator who allows corporation to wreck the laws of the land. But if this were done, how many of our "best people" would be "branded for life ?' MT. Bryan is great man, and doubtless, a good man, but as a Democratic Moses he has been and unqali- fled failure. And he ought to know it by this time. However, if the Democracy wishes ito get together" they will prob ably do so, notwithstanding his strenuous objections.

Dr.. Patrie Returns

DR.. W. E. Patrie, a former res
ident of Blackfoot, has returned
after an absence of several years.
He was the company physician at
Mackay for the White Knob
Copper Company, which position
he accepted last spring, supposing,
as others did, that Mackay was
entering on a period Of rapid and
permanent growth. The doctor
had served two and one-half years
as physician and surgeon in the
u. S. Public Health and Marine
hospital on Puget Sound, and on
the closing Of the company's busi-
ness at Mackay he decided to To-
cate in Blackfoot. He was mar
ried a few months ago and he and
his wife will live in one of the
new houses near the L. d. s..
hall, recently completed by Mr..
Rasmussen. His card in this
paper will indicate the location of
his office when he gets located.

Marking Ballots

There has been a slight change
made in the manner of marking
ballots since the last election, and
it is necessary for all voters to oh.
serve carefully the instructions.
Ii You wish to vote a straight
ticket, put cross (X) in the ring
at the head of the ticket. Should
you wish to s'scratch" any candi-
date in your party ticket, draw a
line through his name and put a
cross (X) opposite the name Of
his opponent, whom you wish to
support.
1t is not necessary to put the
x in all the rings down the column
il you put it in the ring at the
head of the ticket.
II you wish to vote one ma
tional ticket and another state
ticket, for instance, if you wish to
vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks
and the Democratic state ticket,
make an X in the ring at the
head Of the Democratic ticket,
draw line through each Of the
names OF. the presidential electors
in that ticket, and make an X in
the ring opposite the names Of the
Republican presidential electors.
Electioneering is not permitted
in or about the building within

the law, it being the purpose Of

place entirely free from all parti-
san influence.

Verdict.

| The trial of James Corners for
the murder of E. p. Sweet was
taken up on Tuesday and the jury
was empanneled in the conrse Of
the day. The attendance at court
during the progress of the trial
was large, and when the case was
submitted to the jury the house
was packed. D.. Worth Clark.
assisted by Eph Watson, conduct
ed the prosecution, aud j. Ed
Smith represented the defense.
During the trial of the case the
prisoner manifested no emotion
and gave very little information
about himself, either to the jury
or to his counsel when questioned
in private. He seems to have
been a wanderer for the past tif-
teen years and admits that the
name he gave here is not his true
name. He made no notable de-
fense, claiming not to remember
the awful tragedy that brought
him to his present state. Mr..
CLARK spoke to the jury for thirty
minutes, making strong case,
and was followed by J. Ed Smith
who spoke for one hour, making
a good defense, considering the
material, he had to work with.
Mr.. Clark then followed with
thirty minute rebuttal, and Judge
Stevens instructed the jury in a
very clear and concise manner
that covered the ground fairly for
the prisoner and the state. 1t
must be source Of pride and the
occasion for renewed confidence
in our judiciary to all who heard
Judge Stevens instructions to the
Jury. 1t is said by persons who
have had opportunities to observe,
that the Judge is very careful to
give prisoner an absolutely fair
trial, but when convicted he can
be just little severe. The jury
was out two hours and returned
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree. Sentence will be pro-
nonnced this evening at 1880.

Basket Ball Dance

Monday evening the girls Of the
Basket Ball team gave dance at
the opera house which was one of
the pleasant events Of the passing
moon. The girls Of the club were
attlred in very pretty uniforms and
Misses Mabel Morrison and Mar
garet Leigh led the club in the
march which was a very pretty
affair. A great pumpkin over the
door with candle shining through
the "windows' Of a joker's face
reminded the guests that it was
halloween, and decorations Of
cereals and autumn leaves were
suggestive of another harvest
gathered. At 11:3OOthe ''moon-
light waltz" was announced, and
the lights were cut in and cut out
to keep people peeping while they
found their partners in the ever
changing glare, and the moon
