sRUNER's APPOINTMENT.


 The only true ringer" made by the republican party in the Nome district. where the political bulls eye" was hit far and square in the center with per haps two exceptions. was recently made in the appointment of J Allison Bruner as deputy district clerk of the Second judicial division of Alaska.
 If this is a sign of the times the out look is a thousand per cent better and brighter, for the republican party here in the Seward Peninsula. To him or them. who are responsible for bringing this about there is due great credit.
 The republican party has made a pretense of playing the game as it is provided for under the rules and regu- lations of the national committeeman who are past masters tn the art of poli- tics But there short comings have been far in excess of their credit marks. The balance has been in the wrong side of the ledger for them to be re- ceived with Well done thou good and faithful servants, but there Is yet time to make amends. and We extend our congratulations to the master hand now at the helm. for the republican ship of state appears to be floating once more. and should the pilot be kept in charge who laid out the last course we have every reason to believe the craft will be steered away from the dangerous lee shore, that has been threatening it Of late.
 Mir. Allison Bruner is well qualified f@r tiso position ne has been asked 10 m with credit to the office. his country and his party. He comes well endowed with all the qualifications necessary to carry on the work. and we have no hesitancy in stating the office will profit through his appointment. We say this with no discredit 10 the efficient work Of T. NJ. Reed for he has long since earned a reputation for being a thorough, painstaking and conscien- tious individual well gua'tied to faI such position.
 There are many workers worthy of reward, and changes have to be made in order to call in a number from labor to refreshments. for all work and no play, dulls the edge of husbandry and takes away from the political band wagon all the attraction that 1t is sup posed to possess.
 Slowly but surely political rights prevail and We are pleased to note all the honor and pledges inculcaied in the last political campaign are not barren, but have the germ of life, even if of slow maturity. Now that We have again headed in the right direction do not led up with the vantage gained. but keep forcing the ship ahead and try to land the craft with all the straight par y men across the finishing line in the van Of an other political parties. It can be done and should Alaska elect a republican delegate next summer the powers that be back at Washington will receive our representative with open arms, and hear our cries even though made in a low voice. and for the first time in the history of the territory We will be received. with Well done thou good and faithful servants.
 AS We have made a ringer" in the appointment Of Mir Bruner. let us not stop al that. prove to the party it is just starter and send in a number Of repeaters one after the other in such rapid succession that weak kneed brothers, or those indierentn will know that the game from now on win be played according to strict party rules and regulations without any deviations whatsoever.
