Ever since five o'clock yesterday af- ternoon when all the names of the candidates had been filed with the city clerk. the voters have been trying to get a line mp on the situation by the shadows which coming events cast be- fore them.
 After consulting one versed in the stars we are able to state that Sirius which corresponds to Gilmore. has been
 tclescoped" with the following results The Star reached its zenith two days ago and is now approaching toward its resting place in the West It's light 's on the wanc and other planets are twukling much brighter. causing it to talk" on sickly hue. which is the be ginning oi the end.
 We know one candidate who is cr,r so long on opinions. but then in politics opinions govern all mankind. like the blinds leading the blind.
 N'tt IT HUN hld AHtA ever pun NtI into il" We were surprised to hear cf his petition being filed and commenced to watch the sun as II approached the west [" see it IL would not start bI,k ward again. -J We could all say Well H-,"
 Politics makes strange bed fellows and \ polct thought he had better keep out of the hornet nest that may be hidden among the political feathers Tony k foolish like a fox. and when they drag him into q bed of str1uge 'sle"pcrs he will give the ticking a few pokcs to see what is what. Dr. r.. Hill made a graceful bow ., ! the public yesterday afternoon an1 0r a platform of good sound timber y,I ] open work SD an can Inspect the san, to their hearts content
 We are glad that the doctor has .n- tered the list for with him as a mem. ber of the city dads when the congress. sional committee visits Nome We 2. have d feeling of security in the fac, that h, will be one of our officials to greet them
 Gus Borgan, as We stated early in 1 the game, is sure winner, and We expect 10 see him come in way up to- ward the top of the list Borgan has many friends, and being a good rustler had made a reputation among the vnt CTS that counts.
 Many votes have been taken in .h, form of straw ballots and if these ar.
 straws which tells the members Of th, next council the following will b, elected. F. F. Hil. F. ". Carletoa. b l. Bakkr. J. n. Mclean. TTniam P.ar
 son. W. J. Rowe and Gus Borgan. whc
 wil be mayor is a mystery. but ther, are good men on the above ticket whC would be able to i'll the position witl credit to the city.
 i We wonder if there Is any truth tc i the rumor that Gilmore has promised to lift that plaster of fifteen hundred dollars from the paper he is Sc.ng boosted by, should he be mayor II so We should instruct the present ccuu cil to put new combination in the cash box for that is a goodly sum even to promise in a national campaign, lot alone an ordinary city election.
 The people can rest assured that tfs fines and back taxes of the J. J. Sea non Company will not be paid into thl city treasury, for that has been spoken for and promised. SO we gre led fc believe tO establish a sinking fund tl pay the clerks in the district clerks ot'ic" Money for the same not being forthcoming An taxes paid 5oluntlr- fly from now on by the J. J. S.snon Company will go Co the city. The thlr- ty thousand or more we will get about the same place Us where the turkey .gets the ak just before Thanksgiving.
 There k a rumor that Gilomre will pull out of the race, for his platform is not taking with the people as he expected. They want builders in the city council not men who are eager to tear down and destroy.
 For a nice warm bath in the iarqe.t
