THE. ELECTION. \
1 he Nugget has no desire to cavil at
ihe results of Saturday's election; the
sovereign people have spoken anil we
must abide the results, lie they for:
better or for worse. Yet withall we.
feel that the stand assumed by this
paper; that tlie interests of this dis
trict could he best safeguarded by one j
or the other of the outside candidates!
who could at least he on the ground!
was well chosen. Whether the result
of the present election lie a faithful
reflection of the wishes of the majority
of the people of this district or not
we cannot say. lint we are nevertheless
content to believe that such is the
case and therefore we tire perfectly
willing to take oft' our hats to the
winner with what grace wo posess It
is also readily agreed that in all pro
bability tic new senator elect will most
likely prove as efficient a public ser
vant as .any other provided that lie
gets to the legislative seal in time to
' titer aetivelv into his duties, which,
by the wav. is a possibility verging
closely on improbability.
Yet this possibility is apparently the
desire of tin* people of the Second Di
vision and while tho Nugget does not
agree that this decision is a wise one
it is perfect I willing to let the matter
rest, being aware of the fact that re
gardless of whether the new senator
elect gets to Juneau in time or not,
the district will be none the worse off
in all probability, and the public will
have received some valuable sugges
tions from the resuts of the late elec
tion which may prove serviceable at
some later period.
NECESSITY COMPELS.
That war. like politics, makes strange
bed-fellows is indicated by the i event
announcement of sir Edward Grey
that England fully approves the plans
of Russia to acquire poscssion of Win
siantitioph and the Dardanelles for a
permanent warm water port.
Eor nearly three quarters of a cen
tury England has fought with all her
powers to stay tip progress of the
Russian Real in lhe direction of Con
stantinople and in Hie supreme moment
poured out her blood and treasure un
stintedly in the Crimea to prevent what
she is now willing to concede without a
blow Expediency is the keynote of
world politics. Regardless of the
policies of yesterday, die necessities of
today and tomorrow are alone consid
ered. The friends of today are (he <
foes of tomorrow and vica versa and
there is little of honor in the word of
nations. In the throes of the tremen
dous world contest, now being fought
in Europe, England can ill afford to
brook the displeasure of her mighty
Muscovite ally, but it requires no great
stretch of the imagination to look for
ward to some probable future day when
to save her great posessions in the
East, the world will witness another
mighty struggle: England grappling to
the death with the mighty power she
now Invokes At the present time the
aid of Russia in the effort to crush
Germany, is a necessity and as such
it is gladly received by England and
France hut It doubtless is well under
stood by England that ultimately she
will he compelled to curb the natural
tendency of the Russians to press upon
her Asiatic posessions. in which event
it is no guess conclusion to predict
that Anglo Saxton. Teuton and Frank
will combine to crush the European
Goliath.
NEWSPAPER GIVES LAWMAKERS
ADVICE.
There remains only a short time
now before our territorial legislature
will convene for business: and of
nurse those of us who are always
rcadv with perfectly good advice, will
from now <ui avail ourselves of I lie
npportuiiitv and oblige our lawmakers
by advising them—they need aQvice
.bight about what should or should
not be done in the way of lawmaking
This is merely suggestive, but If we
ire to continue under the present
organic law—our power to legislate
being of the comic opera nature—the
first tiling we would suggest to the
I. wmakers to do would be t<> introduce
a nd immediately pass an act repealing
• .••!> doggone law enacted by the last
h gislature. and begin anew. The
mason for this Is found in the fact
• ililt three-quartern of the laws enuct
• 11 by the never-to-be-forgotten-last
• gislature, are worthless, and leave u
loud on the other quarter as to their
i v alidity.
\s a second suggestion, we would
dviae that a law he passed to compel
.tigress to give us the power to legis
late to our heart's content, and without
oii.v restraining appendixes: such as
"must he approved by Congress" etc.
The third sugestion would be to re
peal a large bunch of laws contained
in our codes which are detrimental to
flie best interests of the few. Til the
•vent that the above suggestions fail
o have any support, tve would offer
be following as a substitute: and that
to pass no new laws, of whatsoever
wml or nature, au new laws are dan
tei-ous. Resides we have enough al
•eudv Cordova Times.
MISS H El D IS A CANDIDATE.
.Miss l'. (\ Heid. now clerical assis- j
ant in the office of Clerk McBride, at
Fairbanks, has joined the ranks of the
little army of candidates for the clerk
ship She asserts that uhe is a Demo- 1
i rat and she has the backing of a
number of women, of Fairbanks, who <
arc circulating petit ions for her up-1
pointment. This is the first time since
political suffrage was granted to wo
men in Alaska that one of that sox
has tried to secure a federal position ,
In this division.
CHISANA IS ONE VERY BAD CAMP
Clerk of Court is Imformed of
Murder and Other Offenses.
That conditions in the Chisana
enuntrj are not what might be called
Ideal, is evident from a letter received
recently by Clerk of Court McBride
fiom Oeot ge Goshaw. According to the
letter. Louis Schonborn, a merchant of
the Chisana, was shot and killed on
December 2tl. Shortly after the inci
dent, the matter was reported exclu
sively in the Times. Many men in the
Chisana are in hard luck at the present
time, without money or grub, and as a
result innumerable robberies have been
committed.
Fred Young, while making his way
into the Chisana over the Glacier trial,
dropped into a crack in the ice, and
died shortly after being taken out by
the two men with whom he was travel
ing. EX.
