SAVE AND HAVE.

Every American workingman, every
American business man, every American
capitalist-in fact, every American man
and wOman-needs to understand and
appreciate the admitted fact that it is not
so much what Il man earns, as what he
saves, that secures his prosperity. This
is, of course, truism; but ii is not suf-
ficient to be convinced of a fact or q
principle-it is also necessary TO act upon
it in our daily life. Micawber perceived
the importance of his celebrated formula
which warned him against spending
more than he had, but he failed to live
up to it. 1t is not the amount of mans
income that leads to riches, but his way
of managing it. There are a few who
cared for, more or less humanely, by
public or private charities. There are
others who are able to earn, but find no
chance; these, although magnified to an
immense army, are really small frac-
ton of our population. There are many,
particularly women, who are compelled
to live upon what in this country may
be styled starvation wages; for there is
much to he said and done by the wise
and benevolent. There are many more
who complain that the incomes they are
able to earn are insufficient to support
their families. The majority of these
people lose sight of two evident and i'm
portant truths-first, that the cost of liv-
ing has been greatly reduced oflate; sec
ond, that they might live cheaper and
better than they do, if they would set
their wits to work in the line OF manag-
ing and saving.

The OLD AND THE NEW CAPITOL
AT ALBANY
Harper's Magazine for March

Harper's Magazine for March.
"Hail to the capitol of New York :"
said Mr.. Seward, twenty-four years ago,
beginning the speech which marked his
passage from the Wing party to the Re
publican. II was in early October, when
the weather is delightful, and it was, so
far as we remember, the last time that
he spoke in the old Capitol, with which
his name will be forever associated as
one of the great governors of New York.
"Old familiar echoes greet my ear from
beneath these embowered roofs. The
voices of the Spencers, of Kent and Van
Rensselaer, and Van Vetchen, of the ge-
NAL Tompkins, of Clinton the Great and
the elder Clinton, of King and Hamilton,
of Jay the pure and benevolent, and
Schuyler the gallant and infleXible. The
very air that fingers around these arches
breathes inspirations of moral and social
and physical enterprise and of uncon-
querable freedom" These are lofty
words, but their lyrical resonance befit-
ted the accession of great party. They
were words whose echoes must have lin
gered in many memories at the brilliant
opening of the new capitol of the state,
and the proudest challenge that the old
building can send to its towering neigh
Dor, before whom it must soon disappear,
is that its glories are these men and their
histories, and that many year must pass
before the superb capitol of TO day can
hope to have even the beginnings of such
traditions.
1t was interesting to see in the splen-
did new chamber one figure which con-
meets the new with the old, and the CAPT
toll of to-day with that which Seward so
glowingly described. Mr.. Thurlow
Weed was himself so important part
of Mr.. Stewards own political career, he
has seen and known Familiarity so many
of the most memorable men in the his
tory of the State, and he has been so
long one of its recognized political
forces, that in seeing him IN the midst
of the brilliant testivity of the opening
nigh, the spectator seemed to see more
nearly the vanishing forms of Clinton
the Great and elder Clinton, of the
Spencers and Kent and Van Rensselaer,,
of Hamilton and King and Jay. These
names are amulets. They should be
worn in memory and fixed in the am
bitiOn of those who follow them in the
new capitol to serve the State. Well
might statues Of them all decorate the
noble halls and corridors. 4 range of
such New York WORTHLESS along the
grand corridor would be inspiring
John Jay, at the head, of whom Daniel
Webster said, when the spOtless er-
mine of the judicial robe fell on John
Jay, it touched nothing not as spotless
as itself"
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1879-02-28

public And especially is this true with
those who have lived years in Kansas
without railroads. We remember when
it took SO and two days time TO get to
the capital of the state. aud $l2 OF $13
and three days TO get to Leavenworth.
Now We go up to Topeka in three hours
for $3.50. and 10 Leavenworth at the
same rate of speed and cost. 1t took
week TO get wagon load of freight from
the river towns, and cost much more than
now
In an able argument before the COM
mittee Of the whole, against this bill,
Hon. 4. j. Anderson said:
The popular demand for reduction
in RATES must he acted upon by the pres
ent legislature, and the great tidal wave
that has swept the middle and western
states having reached Kansas, and shut
ting our eyes 10 the damage that has been
done to railroad property in other states,
and falling TO profit by the experience of
those states, nearly all of which have
either repealed or greatly modified the
original enactments, Kansas must go the
full length of absurdity and enact just
such laws upon the subject "a 9TH
er states have either discarded, or that
remain dead letter upon their statute
books. The claim that the railroads of
the state are making too much money is
best met by the simple statement that
only one of the railroads in the state has
ever paid dividend on its stock, and
that out of total of about :, $50 miles of
road in the state, nearly 1900 miles are
in the hands of receivers because ii has
been impossible To earn the interest due
upon their bonds"
He presented many interesting facts
and figures on the subject of railroad
fares, which are new and which show
that the rates in Kansas are not gener-
ally higher than in the east. 1t would
be good thing if this speech could be
read by all.
We stand committed To a fair law
which will regulate fares and freights,
and we are ready to urge such an one,
but it seems to us the bill now before the
house is not what we want by any means.
1t is twenty-five years in advance of the
railroad business in Kansas, and could in
jure our material interests intellectually.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1879-02-28


the well being Of the institution should
induce it to rebuild the institution at
Emporia. 1t owns, at that place, most
excellent site; the foundations of the
building destroyed by fire can, without
doubt, be used for new structure; the
State is under moral obligations TO
maintain such a school at Emporia; and
the location and surrounding of that
place cannot be surpassed.
We hope, therefore, that the legisla-
ture soon to assemble will treat this sub
ject in a generous and public-sprited
manner, keeping in view the numerous
and unquestioned advantages of the in
stitution, the obligations of the State to
the people of Emporia, the undoubted
advantages of that city as the location
for a State Normal school, the fine sue
cess the school has already attained, and
the economy of rebuilding upon the old
site and utilizing the remains of the
old burned building. The apprOpria-
tion asked is not, we think, unreasOn-
able or excessive, and is based on reasons
that appeal alike to the public spirit
and justice of the people and to the ma
terial interests and pride of the State.
