THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.


At the present time the business out
look cannot be said to be encouraging.
The great revival of business that was
predicted would come as the result of
Major McKinley's election fas not
materialized. For a week or ten days
there was a little squirt, but that has
subsided. and things are in much the
same condition they were long time
prior to the election. The only thing
definitely settled by the election is the
fact that the country will not get free
silver in the next four wears.
People may be disappointed at the
failure of McKinley's election to pro-
duce instant and widespread prosper
ity, but they should not be surprised
that it has not AS the present de-
pressed, dull and listless condition of
business has been coming upon the
country for some years, growing worse
year by year, it is unreasonable to ex-
pect that the election of any man to
the presidency can cause prosperity to
come forth full grown and completely
armed as Minerva did. It takes time
to produce prosperity. And had the
country been so fortunate as to have
declared for free silver policy it
would still have taken time to restore
prosperity. The old saw that Rome
was not built in a day exactly ex-
presses the situation in regard to a
complete revival of business.
That prosperity, great and wide
spread, is not now in the land cannot
be charged to the election of Mr.. Nc
Kinley or to the defeat of Mr.. Bryan.
That which is worthy of note and
condemnation is the way in which the
supporters of Mr.. Mckinley made pre-
dictions of an instantaneous return OF
prosperity if he were elected, and cor
responding predictions of universal dis
aster in the event of Mr.. Bryan's cleo
ton. They were off, as much in that
one case as in the other.
The business outlook is not discour-
aging, if congress does not go to tariff
tinkering and cavorting with the cur
rency laws, making bad matters worse.
It is true the future does not hold out
that bright promise it would had the
people, in their own interest, declared
for a free silver policy, but still all is
not dark and dreary by any means.
And for we of the west, let us remember
in our present disappointment the old
Spanish proverb: IF we cannot have
what we like. let US like what we
have

THE CoLoRED TROOPS.

When it was first known that a regi-
ment of colored troops was to take the
place of the Sixteenth infantry at Fort
Douglas there was a good deal of COM
ment and curiosity. There had never
been any colored troops at the fort and
this curiosity was natural. The colored
troops have come, the curiosity has been
satisfied, and all seems to move in the
old accustomed ruts. There are no
complaints of disorderly conduct by the
colored troops, so far as we know, while
we understand the street car con-
ductors on the lines running to the fort
do not experience the same trouble and
annoyance they did with the boys" of
the Sixteenth. This is all most COM
mendable.
Speaking of colored troops. the Wash
ington Post of a few day ago said:
Although the statistics of the health
authorities in all the cities of the
United States where there are large
number of colored people show that
they have a shorter average of life
than the whites, the report. of the sur
geon- general of the army proves that
the colored soldiers are superior to the
general physical condition. The COM
parison is made not only with the ma
tive American whites in the army, but
with recruits from Europe of various
nationalitieS, and there is no reason to
question the fairness of the test Sur
geon- General Sternburg states that the
colored soldiers maintain the physical
lead that they secured some years ago.
He furnishes statistics showing that
their admission rate to the sick report
for disease during the past year was
5000 per 1000, as compared with $50 SO
among the whites, and their rate for in
jury 256.S4, as against 274.07; while the
average duration of each case was 10.5
days, as compared with 11.2 among the
whites. The number of colored men
constantly sick per 1000 was 26.40, and
white 34.54. Each colored soldier lost
sc days on account of sickness and
each white soldier 1876 days. The rate
of discharge for disability was 500
colored, and 951 white, while the deaths
were 4.12 and 5.25, respectively. 1t ap-
pears that the foreign-born recruit is
heavier than the native white, but the
negro is the heaviest of the three.
These are very interesting facts.
Army life Will tend to elevate the negro.
It raises in him self-respect, a first
requisite to all individual advancement,
and it teaches him discipline. The rec
ord made by our negro soldiers during
the war was one of which their race
may be proud.
The facts set forth by Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg cannot fail to make a
favorable impression upon our citizens.
How silly and unwarranted was the
prejudice expressed in some quarters
over the advent of the Twenty-fourth
infantry at Fort Douglas.

EXPANSION OF THE NAVY.

Those who pretend to know saw
that President Cleveland is alive to
the necessity of continuing the expan-
sion OF the navy, and will dwell upon
the subject in his forthcoming mes
sage. It is an important matter, but
Just now when there is so much talk
of building uD the navy several unto
ward accidents have happened to
throw somewhat of a damper upon the
enthusiasm of the country for a large
navy
A short time ago the battleship Texas
went down in the mud off the dock in
the Brooklyn navy yard. Now comes
the news that the cruiser New York.
the flagship of the north Atlantic
squadron, is leaking at her pier in the
same navy yard. The Mail and Ex-
press saws that the leak in the New
York was discovered last Saturday
morning and created a great sensation.
particularly as the craft was all ready
to go to sea. The leak is said to be due
to imperfect casting of the cupboard
delivery, but as the damage is away
below the water line, and the official
diver Of the ship could not locate it,
everything is guesswork One of the
officers Of the ship told a Mail and
Express reporter that in his opinion
the cruiser struck a submerged pile
while falling with the tide, and had her
plates injured. The leak extended from
the condenser to the cupboard delivery.
and reached to the first bulkhead. This
section of the pipe was removed, and
was found TO be badly corroded. Re-
pairs were said to have been effected
and the leak stopped, but an attache
of the engineer corps of the ship de-
MES that the leak has stopped, and
adds that it cannot be checked until
the vessel is drydocked. The ram Ka-
tahdin is also said to be in a bad
condition
OF course all this is rather discourag-

ing, but there is this satisfaction. that
in all such cases the worst side is put
out and very little is covered up. The
very reverse is the case in European
nayies. When accidents happen to a
battleship or cruiser of a foreign power,
very little, if anything, is heard of the
affair.
These accidents show how small &

the bottom Of the, sea the mightiest
war ship. One of Mr.. Irving SCOTS
lucky Shots" fired by an enemy,
might serve the same purpose as a
sunken pile. Notwithstanding all these
accidents the navy should be made
adequate TO the needs of the country
but no rivalry with those countries that
are exhausting themselves to build up
immense navies should be attempted.

That's all right, mamma" replied the

AS for the trade part, you needn't worry

Since which announcement the maternal
