Youthful spendthrIns.


baltimore Amerlcan.l
We recently pointed out the
change which had taken place in
the ideas of the young as to the
dignity once supposed to surround
labor, and the weakness felt by
them for occupations, which, al
though in themselves purely me-
chanical and not requiring the ex-
ercise Of any Of the higher faculties,
would not involve hard or continu-
GUS work. There is, besides this,
another characteristic in the young
men of the present day as deserving
of censure, and one which if persis-
ted in eventually ends in ruin. The
e%xtravagant and spendthrilt habits
in which they indulge, the careless
ness with which they fling around
their earnings, and their apparent
ignorance as TO the real value of
money, are seen every day, and lead
sometimes both to sad and serious
reflections. The idea seems to have
gained ground amongst them that
it is true test of nobility to display
a lordly indifference towards silver
and gold; hat the statement from
admiring friends that he spends his
money like a prince is the highest
encomium which could be passed
upon any individual. The disparity
between their income and that Of
some royal spendthrift is never once
considered neither is the fact that
the position they chance to hold is
the only source from which they
can expect to receive supplies, and
that when deprived of it they will
be, in their own classical language,
swamped and "busted." Men are
apt sometimes to attribute much of
our social extrayance to the period
which follow i the war, when each
one was striving to eclipse his neigh
Dor in splendor and recklessness.
And yet here are youths to-day,
who, when the smoke of battle hung
over the land, were mere children,
taking no heed of public affairs,
completely wrapped up in their
hoops, their tops and their kites,
but who now, when extravaganza
among their elders is giving plac
to economy and former expend:-
lures are curtailed, teem to be inoc-
ulated with an almost insane desire
to spend their earnings even faster
than they receive them. 1t would
be almost amusing, were it not pitt
able, to note how coteries of young
men seem to have no thought above
dress, cigars, billiards and jewelry,
and how such things are considered
essential to their very existence.
The frugal member of the old school
who dressed plainly when at home,
because everyone knew him, as also
when amongst strangers because
then no one knew him, would be
voted to-day as being far behind the

The st. Louis Times, which of
course is opposed to all eastern
branches to the Texas and Pacific
railroad south of St. Louis, says:
1t is quite likely that the country will
not be required to worry itself very ex
tensively concerning a Southern Pacific
railroad subsidy, The problem is being
worked out pretty rapidly. The Caliior
mans are not waiting for Tom Scott, and
Tom Scott does not seem to be wsitiig
for congress. The California Southern
road is completed to Fort Yuma, on the
Colorado, and is being graded into Ari-
IONA. 1t will soon reach Tucson, and
thence be pushed on 10 the Rio Grande,
where it will meet the Texas Pacific and
the Denver and Rio Grande roads. The
present is a good time for building rail.
roads. Money and labor and materials
are all cheap, and the Southern Pacific
is a national necessity that will pay.
Therefore it will be built.

FIRE INSURANCE AS A SCIENCE.

We are led to the following
remarks owing to the fact that
numerous failures of insurance
companies have occurred during
the past few years which have taxed
our citizens very severely: The
question very naturally arises,
Why, and how is it that such fail
ures occur? The answer, to our
mind, is a very simple one. In
surance companies, in their anxiety
for volume Of premium, look too
little at the moral hazard, and too
lightly upon the chances-eyen
upon what might be termed first
class hazards. Insurers are also
to blame. They seek cheap com
panies, and are too much in
clined to bid their rates against
those institutions which are trying
to sustain themselves by rates that
not only maintain their %solyency
but give full security to the aSsur-
ed, and thus force a spirit Of COM
petition which, in the end, is disas-
trous on both sides. Most Of the
local fire companies of our cityhave
maintained rates which have rem
dered them prosperous, and given
to the assured a full guarantee of
indemnity in case of loss. Some
have stepped to one side and come
to grief, but, VIC are glad to say,
never yet to the detriment of the
policy holder, although the stock
holders have suffered. The "Com-
mercial," of st. Louis, which had
an agency in tkis city, is the latest
instance of a company which, in
its anxiety for premiums, swamp
ed itself by low rates, and
at the same time took many thou
sands of dollars from our people,
leaving them without indemnity in
case of loss. We are partly to
blame for this state of things. The
difference in rates Is only a moiety
to each individual, but brings the
company down from %solvency to
AFFECT bankruptcy. Let us there
fore respect such companies as
know the value of their policies,
and not risk our property with
those which permit their greed for
present emolument to interfere
with their future s~olyency. Insur-
ance is a science. We have good
underwriters in our midst, and it is
not worth our while to sacrifice
money on ignorant or INSCRIPTIONS
venture.

age. Antlquateu as some OF the OLD
methods Of doing business May
seem to modern young eyes, they
were undoubtedly the best. There
was no straining after effect or dis
play, no spending Of money until it
was actually earned, and then only
sparingly and judiciously. and no
attempt to deceive others by Aaunt-
ing bank notes in their faces and
attempting to create the impression
that a vast store remained behind.
Now, these old-fashioned ideas are
forgotten ; and the future is allowed
to take care Of itself, aud the only
thought is how best and quickest to
enjoy the present. The moment
those who act thus are thrown out
of employment their helplessness is
at once seen. They fall back upon
parental aid, and the fond father or
mother who is proud of his or her
son is forced out of hard wrought
earnings to contribute to the sup
port of one who has learned no les
son of seIf-denial, and in whom the
habits of spending recklessly have
become SO strongly fixed that he is
utterly inoapacitated for making
any sacrifice. Time was when q
young man who entered into some
commercial position could reasona-
bly, expect to hold it permanently.
Beginning as a common clerk or
salesman, he would gradually rise
from one round of the ladder to
another, until he probably ended by
marrying the masters daughter
and settling down as an honored
member of the firm. All these
family relations which once existed
have changed. He must be a very
sanguine youth who, after securing
employment in a bank or a count
ing house, believes it to be the pre-
lude to the chief clerkship or the
partnership. His name is known
and that is all ; he is simply one of
The many Smiths or JoneseS in the
establishment, and if he does not
give satisfaction there are hundreds
waiting an opportunity to fill his
place. If he succeeds in obtaining
a political position the same uncer-
attends him, and he knows
not the moment he may be called
on to make room for some one with
more influence or a better faculty
for wire pulling. Knowing this, it
naturally be expected that
prudence and economy would be
amongst the virtues possessed by
the young, and hat without either
being misery or parsimonious they
cultivate qualities which
would prove a safeguard when re-
verses came upon them, and enable
them by following out rules of
to succeed at last in achieving
substantial triumphs. We look to
our young men as the future mas
ters of the country, and it certainly
is not too much TO ask that they
should act like those who have done
much towards strengthening its
prosperity, instead of disregarding
primary conditions of success
and following a course which is sure
10 wreck them, no matter how en-
ohantingthe prospects. .
