We want men who can look ahead and piovide for farther needs. It is false eeonemy for a city to build only for the pres eot, as evidenced by oar preaeDt sye tern of working tbe streets. Debt, to a city, is not always a burden, and in many instances it is true econ my. Our city offices should not be looked upon as places of emolument, to be given to personal favorites, but as tbe means of securing to our eity good government and wise man agement, aad should be given to those best fitted for tbe positions. Tbe News has long advocated tbe abandonment of personal tights at our municipal elections, and it hopes that tbe time has come when our cit izens can unite npon a ticket compos ed of our best and most progressive citizens. “It's only a queetion of .time," and a short time, too, as to when your rheumatism will yield to Hood’s Banaparilla.
