Tho effect Of railways in increasing
the population of a country, AMI in pro-
noting its general prosperity, is proved
in q striking way by comparing the
progress Of the United States md OF
Mexico within the last fifty years. AT
the commencement Of the present CEN
tury the population Of Mexico, it ia
stated, was one.third larger than that
of tho United States, and its six cEiei
cities were larger and had more iuhab.
itants than New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Boston and New Orleans.
At the present time the same Mexican
cities are less than half the size Of Chi
cago, St. Louis and Cincinnati, which
in the year 1900 were mere outposts OF
civilization. The population of Mexico
now is about 5000, 600, while the United
States in 1870, if it increases in tho
same ratio as between 1850 and 1860,
will have more than AZ, COO, 900 inhab-
itauts. OF course many influences have
been at work to produce the different
state Of affairs in the two countries, and
while the United States for the first
sixty years of the century was compare
lively at peace, Mexico was torn b.
domestic dissension and civil war. The
railway, however, for the last thirty
years has, by promoting the Interchange
of commodities and the rapid trans
~portatiou Of travellers, caused a sur
prisiug growth in oil parts of the Union.
Mexico is aware of these facts, and is
now c~udeayoriug to build up her rail
way system.

THE REMOVAL OF THE Capital.

-
The inhabitants of St. Louis, No.,
are, to use a familiar expression, NOV
irg heaven and earth in order to effect
the removal of the Capital Of the
United States from Washington to the
Mississippi Valley. On August 10th, a
meeting Of citizens was held at St.
Louis to consider what preliminary
measures should be adopted, and reso-
lutions were passed asserting that the
agitation Of the subject had become SO
general as to be national in its char
acter, and that positive and definite
action should be taken. To obtain a
wise discussion Of the facts, o National
Capital Convention was called to meet
in ST. Louis on October 20, 1869, each
State to be represented by delegates
| equal to double the number Of it's Presi-
Dental electors-that is W from each
Congressional District and four at large.
These delegates are to be appointed by
the respective Governors of the States.
The Territories are to be represented by
two delegates appointed BY the Govern
ors, and the District Of Columbia by
two delegates appointed by the Mayor
of Washington.
In order to form some idea of the
amount of money required to erect pub
lie buildings at St. Louis, 1t may be
stated that, according to statistics
furnished by Secretary McCulloch, the
sum expended in the District of Colum-
bia, from tho time the seat Of Govern.
ment was established there to June
3oth, 1868, for public works Of every
description, including buildings, paint,
ing and s~tatuary, was S37 $780, 1853. The
real estate belonging to the Government,
excluding the public buildings, was as
sessed in 1858 at Sl3,4l2,2 93. There
has been NO assessment since 1858. The
extent of territory owned by the Govern
meut, Including grounds, parks, gar
dsus and navy yards, according to the
Secretary of the Interior, amounts te
sis acres.
As an inducement to>remove, a prom
inent citizen of st. Louis has offered t.
give the government 500 acres Of LAND
in that city. and erect buildings suitable
for offices for clerks, and reutthem at tn
same rates as now paid in Washington
Taking into consideration the change,
in the value of money in wages, cos
of materials, it may be estimated tina
the removal of the capital to st. Loui
would cost, at the very lowest, $500,
900, 900, while tho whole benefit woul'
be rsaped by the owners Of real estat
in that city. Should the capital be re
n moved 10 the West, Congress ought t
lay out o district ten miles square, o,
T the Missouri River, and defray part O
) the expenses by the sale Of lots. Wit
0 the enthusiastic notions Of the Weatcrt
u people, the $s7,s9o,s53 already e1
pended on the District Of Columbia is
"mere triae for this great nation.
When the debt of the United States i
n reduced to more manageable proper
tons, and the heavy taxes can be take
of, then, aud not before, will it be tim
s to think of removing the capital.

LHL A
II is very seldom that any business
cau be counted upon as sure to yield q
large and constant income. There are
many chances and casualties in trade
and business which cannot be foreseen.
He is q fortunate man indeed, whatever
his calling, who does not find himself,
sooner or later, going 'out of fashion,"
The newcomer, or more dashing, lingo
nious or willy competitor will sometimes
distance IN old public fayorite. Or a
successful man may be spoiled by sue
cess, and spoil his own business by
neglect or ovcr-confdence in his reputa-
ton. For these aud many other reasons
it should be the effort of every man to
become independent Of his business.
We mean that he should place a part,
however small, of his earnings in some
description Of investment, which shall
be secure from the chances which affect
his regular calling. To do this he
should tax, not his business means, but
his personal vanity, and be content to
creep, rs the phrase goes, before he
attempts to walk; and to walk before
he essays to run. There is many a man
who looks back on the careless expendi.
ture Of past years with regret, and who
might now be assisted by the interest o.
his prosperous acquisitions, if he had
funded, instead of spending his money
for temporary qualification. Working
men, while in the prime Of their strengt
and manhood, and in the receipt o.
liberal wages, might secure themselves
uot only against the distant day of ole
age, but also against much of the iucon'
venience of dull times, Of sickness or o.
forced inactivity from any other cause
Whoever will mako q firm rule, md
abide by it, always to live within hii
income, is on the safe road to compe'
tence, il not to wealth.

While we are weeping o er the hallowed ground,
