A Mistaken Idea.

Chas Barnard in st. Nicholas for May.
AS soon as a boy leaves school and
looks about to see what he shall do next,
he is very likely to be told by some un.
wise person. "The world owes you a
living" This probably strikes him as
being very wise remark, and the boy
says to himself, "If it is true that the
world owes me living, then Pm all
right He finds place, and goes to
work manfully; but after time he
concludes that there is no fun in it, and
he stops to consider: "If the world owes
me living, why should 7 trouble my.
self ? Let the world pay its debt to me-
Suddenly he loses his place and has
nothing to do. He is surprised, and
wonders why the world does not give
him his due. ga nice bed, warm
clothes and regular dinners are good
things, and / ought to have them.
The world owes them to me, and if ]
do not get them I've been cheated of
my rights"
At one time this country was will
derness, where no man could live, save
by fighting the wild beasts. Some one
chased away the bears and wolves, cut
down the forests, laid out roads, built
towns and dug canals. Somebody spent
vast sums of money in constructing
railways, steamboats,, docks, lighthouses,
schools, libraries, and all the fine things
you enjoy so freely. More than this,
somebody pays the policemen, the fire.
men, the soldiers, sailors, the light
house keepers and school masters.
From the day you were born your
father and mother have fed, clothed,
and sheltered you. 1t has cost you
nothing. None of these great public
works, roads, canals, towns, navies and
armies cost you anything. Now car
you say the world owes you living
Is it not you who are in debt? Wha
has boy done to deserve this? MOI
thing. 1t is you who must pay
not the world.
: ALL boys, he was foolish creature
| who first said, "The world owes me
living" He told very silly fable
, The world owes no man living till h
has done some worthy deed, some goot
e work tC make the world better ant
, fairer place to live in. Those old fel
! lows who dug canals and laid out towns
who built cities and invented thes
splendid things-these telegraphs, thes
ships, these magnificent engines-ha
the rightide They worked manfully
s and the world at last did owe them
y living, and paid it many times over
Y If you mean to get out of the grea
debt you owe the world, do something
" 90 to work and show you are a mar
Then, when you have shown the worl
n your work, it will gladly pay you
n living, and the finer and more mob
It your work the greater Will be your r.
ward.

Good Roads.


Good roads by which free ingress ana
egress can be had with the surrounding
country, are Of as much necessity to the
growth Of a city as railroads. Savannah
has several roads. namely, the Thunder
bolt, White Bluff, Ogeechee, Louisville
and Augusta roads, but for a number Of
years, by reason Of the destruction Of the
bridge over the canal basin, there has
been no means Of communication with
the country northwest Of the city, except
by way Of the Augusta road. or by the
bridge over the canal at the lock. In
the original plan Of the county,
ample rOadways were laid out
though the county, crossing each other
at right angles al every mile, but the GU
pldity Of property owners and the indif-
ference Of the public to their rights, have
permitted many Of them to be closed up.
The rapid development Of the country
adjacent to Savannah is a matter of great
Importance 10 the future Of our city, and
the MORNING NEWS has therefore advo-
Gated every step taken in that direction.
The projected improvement Of the thor
i
the late fire is in harmony with that de-
yelopment. The city can do the work
now better than at any future time. The
Central Railroad, in view of the adVan-
tage to accrue to its property will prob
ably contribute literally towards the i'm
prOyement.
The late Col. W aGley advocated opening
Bay street to the canal several years ago.
and we believe offered in behalf Of the Cen
trail Railroad to advance whatever money
might be required TO make the i'm
provement. President RaOul, few days
since. intimated to the special committee
Of Council that it was probable
that the company would build
a bridge at the canal if Joachim street
was extended as suggested. He also adj
vanced other arguments which went to
show that the improvements referred to,
while necessary at this time, would be
greatly conducive to the interests Of the
city in the near future. Capt. RaOul,
however, stated that he was not prepared
10 bind the Railroad Company to any plan
he might suggest, or 10 any proposition
that he might make, but that the commit
tee, if they choose. could consider his
suggestions, and, at the proper time, he
would present the matter to the Directory
of the Railroad Company.
The action Of City Council at its meet
ing last night, by which these improve
ments are to be made Immediately, will
meet with the hearty approval Of the peo-
pie.

High RenIs.

II is reported that rents Of the class Of
houses occupied by poor people are being
raised throughout the city. The great fire
last week made tenement houses scarce.
II is 10 be regretted if landlords have
taken advantage Of the increased demand
to raise rents. The ability Of the poor
class to pay high rents is not as great as
it was before the fire. Those who lost
their homes are, Of course, poorer while
many who were not sufferers are helping
TO bear the burdens Of relatives and
friends who were. We cannot blame land
lords for getting all the rent
they can for their houses. They
are legally entitled to all their houses
will bring, and in prOfting by the
scarcity Of houses they are doing just
what the owners of other kinds of prop
~ do when the opportunity presents itself.
1t must be admitted. however, that there
is a feeling that it Is hardly fair to raise
the already high rents at a time when the
ability Of the renting class to meet the in
crease has been impaired. Rents are
probably higher here than in any city of
the country. with the exception Of
few railroad towns where
everything has fictitious value.
Much better houses for less money can be
had in either Philadelphia or Baltimore.
In either of those cities house in a good
neIghbOrhOOd, containing six rooms, a
range. bath room, water and gas, can be
obtained for $15 or $1S month. In this
city there is a constant demand for neat,
cheap houses. Money could not be better
or more profitably invested than in build
ing such houses. OF course, houses of this
kind cannot be built singlY. They must
be built in great blocks. In that way the
cost is reduced almost One-half. One man,
the proprietor of the Philadelphia Record,
has made contracts for building
500 houses in that city this year.
They are to cost from S., 600 to s., 200 each.
The s., 600 houses will rent for about SIS
a month. Some Of them may rent for SIS.
If it were possible for a capitalist or for a
company to get hold Of the land in the
burnt district small, cheap brick houses
could be erected in blocks at a cost of
from $500 to 81 800 each that would readily
rent for a sum that would yield hand
some return on the investment.

The FIection Returns.

The later returns from Tuesdays cleo
lions do not change the situation
presented in our dispatches yesterday.
The Malone party was defeated IN
Virginia after one Of the hardest
fought contests known in the pO-
litical history Of the State. The Demo-
Gratis have demonstrated that they can
carry the State. and il is certain that
Virginia will be ranged on the Democratic
side in 1884. This defeat will cause the
negroes 70 lose confidence in Malone, and
they cannot be rallied s0lidly 70 bis sup
mort again. The Virginia boss is crippled,
and his complete overthrow Is only mat
ter Of a short time. He viii drop out Of
the Senate at the end Of ms term, and

New York has again taken her place in

There is one thing the Democrats must
