The Nome daily nugget., 1914-06-23

The remarkable thing about the meditation" conference now in ses- sion at Niagara Falls. ostensibly to settle, the difficulties which have arisen between the United States and the government of Huerta in Mexico. is that 1t is apparently doing nothing whatever in connection with the Am- erican grievances. They seem to have been lost in the shufEle.
 Nothing whatever is being heard about the Tampico lag incident. the pretext for the starting of hostiities and for the capture and retention of Vera Cruz. Nothing appears in any of the press accounts to indicate that the mediators are being asked to do anything about the murders of Am erican citizens. the destruction of Am erican property and the violation of treaty rights of citizens of this coun- try domicilsd In Mexico. Apparently such little matters as these. hereto fore presumed to be the main excuses for an intervention by the United States in the affairs of Mexico, are not considered worthy of attention.
 On the direct contrary. the only concern of the mediators seems to have been in arranging some program for the regulation of the strictly do- nestle concerns of Mexico. concerns with which. under any theory of in- ternational law, neither the United States nor the A. B. c. mediators have any right to interfere at all.
 The mediators. it seems. have drawn up a program for the setting up of some form of government in Mexico which will meet with their approval snd with the approval of MT. Wilson. It is stated that it will take some months to carry this program into e:- feet. In the meantime the constjtu. tl'Ealists. who are not represented in tLe conference and who do not desire L.. be, are proceeding with teeir own I~t rram, which contemplates the cap ture of the City of Mexico. the prompt execution of Huerta and all of his fel- lowers and practically every one of Cr:nish blood. and the settiaY ap Of a government satisfactory to themselves or rather to their leaders. It is quite possible that all of this may be &C., complished before the several months provided for in the mediation program will pass. If 1t is done, the United States will have the responsibility for dealing with the constitutionalists. Is there any assurance that they will bc any more tractable than Huerta, should they once get power?-Post- Intelligencer.

We all have had something to say about the Seattle spirit. the Seattle graft, the Seattle greed" all that and more. While those epithets may be merited to a great extent. yet we may as we'll admit that Seattle is Alaslsa's devoted irtend.

 True, if we were prosperous. Seattle always received a large share. But when the Nome people were in dis tress who got there first? When the railroad bill hung in the balance. again who got there first with exhi- bits with which the impression enter tained by the opposing forces was dispelled? And 60 on indefinitely, al- most.
 The Portland people are desirous to help us. seemingly, but how long since they abandoned us. every Alas kan knows. Is not their neglect ns reprehensible as the rnisdeeds of the gsattleites?
