A RATHER BLUE OUTLOOK.

municipal campaign IS approaching and much dislike to refer to it, it becomes our duty to do so. A common council must be elected and the in corporation must be kept intact, we suppose The outlook for the city government is not particularly .roseate although would be glad if it consist en with truth, to state the contrary The town is in debt and the indebtedness is constantly increasing, Its resources are extremely limited and becoming smaller and beautifully less as the months go by. But the town should not be in debt It would not have been at the beginning of its existence, it had been rightly directed. But not. The fist city council "got off the wrong foo" Streets were graded at too great a cost bus this necessity. Street assessments remain unpaid, and if there is any way by which they may be collected, connect ed with the council seems to have found it. There are lumber bills outstanding aggrcgatng thousands of dollars the creditors holding the ctys paper there for. With the large eXpenditurts of money that have been made, about the only remaining asset that we tkpow of is fire apparatus. Unless congres should pass additional legislation and give to incorpo rated towns and cities in Alaska the entire revenue raised from United States license taxes, we fail to See how the city government Is to be maintained. This is the plain truth of the situation and it demands serious consideration by each and every man who has .any concern whatsoever for the present and future welfare of the town.
 Candidates for the city council should be selected with care they should be of experience, honesty and integrity and above the suspicion of using their places to bring petty graft to their mill. They should be mbued with the spirit of economy for they will find it necessary to exercise the strictest knd Incompetents and perennial flowers are not needed The inducements for a citizen of Nome to sacrifice himself by taking a seat at the city council are not b,t) );cf Sbr who have the citys interests at heart, from becoming candidates.

PHILOSOPHY AND SUCH.

Some men thank God for many things others don't thank God or any body else for anything A wicked and gainsaying generation seeketh after signs continually, but there is none given them The human family is proverbialy unthankful; it is like wise of poor and uncertain memory. The man whom you have most hefriended is frequently the frst~to stab you in the back. Though his blow may be vc- ious, though may leaveits imprint the consequences as a rule fall more severely upon the by whom it is dealt. There is little use to worry over thank lessness and ingratitude These crops Is common as nettlrs and while they may be pestifcrous why fret and fume and worry. We don't know how old the human family may be; it s old enough, however,
 to have learled many lessons that are not found in its lexcons. The person who girds himself with a girdle of philosophy is the wise of the earth The ancient Greek school, called SIoics, the wlsest men of their time, and they taught a phloso phy which time has not improved upon very much. The Stocs taug Int that should be free from pas sion, unmoved by joy or grief and submit without complaint to the unavoidabe necessity by which all things are governed.
 It's pretty good philosophy, is it not?
 The trucu!ency of past ages is still strong in the human family Twenty centuries of so-caled Chris tlan civilization has improved it, but it has as yet wholly eradcated the bar aritv. Nor will it the present rate of progress for centuries come Man still wars with man and tribe with tribe, and returns few thanks for blessings bestowed favors received. "Patence and shufie the cards' remarks ChipSa in the spanish Student ''W ho knows but what may go to Rome and come back St. Peter D Chipsa a philosopher in his crude way. but the world would be better off if there more like him. "Ihc spirit Of comncrcialism is eating the heart of the American people remarked a clergyman not long ago So is the spirit of selshness, which perhaps Is being accentuated by he growth of the spirit of merciasm. Self hness is the inheritance of no par ticular class condition. The old Highland Scotch man, devout in bis way exsmpiifed that spirit when he knet in his tent the of battle and prayed: : "Oh, Lord be wi us on the morrow; but if ve cannot be wi us dinna be against us lie low and yell see us gie yon curlns sic whuppin' as wull do your hart guid."
 It takes a Il kinds to make a world, however, and the man who starts out reforner will find a weary road to travel One would better do his whole duty citizen, acquire and absorb all the phllos ophy possible and let the world wag

OUR UNIFORM TRIUMPHS.

We have heard much and often of the tri- 'umph of American industry in Europe. We are selling shoes and locomotives to Great Britain, beef and fruit to Germany and wine to France. Some thing in the way of American manufacture goes to the home market of every cap tai of the Old World. Thus may be said to have had uniform triumph European competition, but that is not the only way in which make the boast. We have had another uniform triumph over there according to re- ports, that have received lately in Nome and one that was not expected.
 During the grand maneuvers last fall when mili- 'tary representatives of every nation of the globe sembled 10 watch the splendid legions of France, Germany and Austria parade and show their fight ing skill there were by observant and admirng eyes every kind of uniform known to civilized war Among the rest appeared the American uniform, not the old blue of song and story but thsnew olive drab recently adopted, Those of our people who looked at it askance when it appeared and were afraid that it might show poorly in European circles may now hold up their heads and be proud. Con- potent critics pronounced it the best uniform in the world. Says an exchange: '+.'
 "The khaki clad representative of Great Britain was quite a 'loud' figure beside the seminvisibe American, and the gilt buttons of the former would have made shining mark for hostile riheman, whereas the dull bronze buttons and ornaments on the new American uniform failed to reflect single

That the great bulk of the business these camps IS handled by Seattle is tue simply to the superior enterprise of Seattles merchants and shipping men.
