MANY holders of Government Bonds, who would
be glad to capitalize the difference between them and
some of the Railroad Bonds offered in the market
before the proposed funding of the public debt at =
or Al per cent interest shall materially reduce the
profit of the exchange, are hesitatng only for want
of satisfactory assurance as to uh Of the latter are
SAFE.
This caution is necessarily and wisely felt and e1-
ercised as all that class of capital which seeks
investment rather than speculative or bust
ness risks.
Transfers of capital from securities which have,
from special causes reached high premium. 10
those of more moderate cost are prompted by wise
and prudent iorethought, when the larger profit
from the investment can be secured without the
sacrifice of the security with which the invested cap
ital should be guarded
The fact that the Government is rapidly buying MP
its own bonds imparts TO them for the time being
market value in excess Of their intrinsic value for
investment, and dISpropOrtiOned to the market
price Of other perfectly reliable and substantial
securities.
The difference in price between them and other
bonds does not necessarily imply like difference in
intrinsic value and it MAY be capitalized with entire
safety il q proper selection is made.
The message of the President of the United States
and the report of the Secretary of the Treasury eN
press the belief of the whole country that the inn
proved credit of the nation will enable them 10 fund
the vetwenty Bonds at not over 4. per cent inter

FIGHT YoUR MAY UP.

The many who have to take the world
rough and tumble are prone TO envy the few
who roll through it uniolted in cushioned
vehicles on patent springs The toiler, as
he stumbles through its thorny thickets and
climbs over its foot blistering gravel, is apt
to curse the i'll luck that placed him on such
hard road. and to sigh for seat in one Of
the splendid equipages that glide so smooth
ly over fortunes macadamized turnpike
Born with pewter spoon in his moutl., be
coyets the silver one which was the birth
right of his well to do neighbor. Occupa
ton is the immediate jewel" of life. 1t is
true that riches are 10 bar to exertion.
Quite the reverse, when their uses are prop
erly understood. But the discontented work
er who pines for wealth, without being vii
ling to labor for it, regards the idleness in
which it would enable him to live as the
acme of temporal happiness He has no
idea Of money as great motive power, to
be applied in enterprises that give healthful
employment to mind and body All to loaf
luxuriously We have no sympathy with
such sensuous lougiDgs. People who in
dulge in them never acquire wealth. They
lack the energy to break their way to the
worldly independence for which they yearn
and whine They don't know how much
more glorious it is to tear affiuence from op
posing fate by main strength Of will and in
fexibility of purpose, than to receive it as a
windfall. There is infinitely more satisfac-
ton IN conquering fortune than was ever
experienced by lucky heir in obtaining
the golden store which some thrifty hand
had accumulated. Your accidental Cresus
knows nothing of the pride of success-of
honest exultation with which the self made
man looks back upon the impediments he
has overcome, and forward into the far flu

dence to the latter for The laws ofthe Leg
islature itself, which the Governor can only
enforce, the Supreme Court can annul and
set aside. Life, liberty, and property, each
and all, at times depend upon the decision
OF this tribunal Of last resort fwhat vast
concern, is it then, that at this time, right
choice should be made by the people be-
tween the two candidates now before them
as candidates for that exalted position. a
great responsibility will rest upon them, and
a great evil viii be inflicted should they
make an unwise selection Although the
respective candidates we're nominated by
party conventions, this is not openly party
questlon-it rises above party-embracing
the greatest and dearest interests of all, il is
a question by itself, solitary in its grandeur,
paramount to all others, in which nothing is
to be considered but the merits of the res
pectiye candidates. And now is the time
for reflection. There is ample time to ar
rive at just conclusion, between this and

to the Indifference Of the people and not to

HON. JUDGE WILLIAMS.

Itmust be gratifying TO the friends OF
Judge Williams and the party whose noml-
nee he is, to find him so highly spoken ofin
all sections of the State, as well BY the OPP
position as by the Republican press. His
great ability as a jurist and sterling worth as
a man are admitted even by those who OPP
pose him, and with such strong feeling in
his favor our friends may rest confident
of his election And our readers can
not attach too much weight to the impor-
tance Of securing this result. As the Har-
risburg Telegraph remarks, in country
governed by law there is nothing so neces
