now TO GET RICH.

A young mechanic who had saved ttina
sum Of $500, and was able by strict economy
to save $40 month, addressed a letter to
each of several millioGaires who had risen
from his level or d lower one asking their
advice as 70 the best way to invest his
moHey. The replies were published in
Tuesdays CALL. The reader will see
that one of them thought specializing in
gilt-edged securities the most likely to lead
to fortune. bnt others were divided between
real estate and the savings bank No one
Of them advised the young man not to try
to get rich. The one who came the nearest
to giving such advice was Ben Butler
who advised him never to 90 mean thing
for money. The question remains if it is
worth while to get rich. Taking an all
round view of life, does it pay to make the
sacrifices most our of self-made millonaires
have endured to accumulate their millions?
Laying by competence is one thing and
getting rich another. A man is not ac-
counted rich until he gets beyond the $780,
coo mark, though a smaller sum may secure
for old age all the comforts of life. ASH
rule, man does not get rich by accident
Most of US can recall exceptions to this
rule, but there are many mere cases where
wealth has been acquired late in life by Sc
which provides against n rainy day and for
old age is one thing and the economy which
regards every outlay not for actual neces-
sity as waste is quite another. The dol
lar saved in early life is worth about four
times as much as the dollar saved in middle
age. But an early life which is entirely de-
voted to saving dollars is as barren as old
age. II a man makes up his mind to get
rich everything must be sacrificed to that
purpose. There is an old adage that saws
one cannot eat his cake and keep il too. So
cial relations are more or less expensive and
must accordingly be sacrificed to the pursuit
OF wealth. The charities which most men en-
dowed with physical vigor take pleasure in
bestowing upon the unfortunate are not, in
a financial sense, good investments. The
average man becomes dwarfed by living
down to the standard of the man who has
made up his mind to get rich. He checks
his more generous impulse until at last he
ceases to feel any. People who live gener-
onsly and save what they can, without do
ing violence to their better natures, often
wonder how people who have SO much can
see so much suffering and make no effort to
relieve it. The reason is that the men who
have become rich by the practice of the
small economies have formed a certain
habit Of mind. 1t is not their habit to give
and it does not occur to them that it is their
duty to give. Too much cannot be said In
the way of the encouragement of thrift.
The man who takes no thought of the NOR
row is sure to come to grief. But the
man who, with ordinary capacity and OPP
portunity, makes up his mind early in life
to get rich makes a mistake. In most cases
he does not succeed in getting rich, and
whether he does or not, he makes sacrifices
for which no amount of money is, in any
sense, compensation.

THE SAN JOSE BILL SIGNED.

There has been little furry over the
delay of President Harrison in attaching
his signature to the bill appropriating
100000 for Federal building in San Jose,
but possibly without cause. The bill is
signed in time and has probably been in no
particular danger at any time. The Presi-
dent naturally wanted to know if San Jose
was city of present size and sufficient fut-
ure to warrant so large an appropriation,
and, having ascertaned that it is, he had
no further objection to the bill. A Demo-
cratic contemporary has represented the
President as determined to veto the bill
and only restrained by fear of the wrath of
the Democratic Representative from the
Fifth District. Fortunately for the Presi-
dent and for San Jose the city established
Its right to a building as large as the sum
of 100000 will provide.

AN HISTORICAL EVENT.

If the Pan-American Conference bears no
other fruit the acceptance of the arbitra-
ton proposition by the representatives of
most of the nations represented is some
thing to be proud Of. Seventeen nations
have already signed the agreement through
their accredited representatives at Wash
iaston and ii is expected that all which par
tcipated in the conference will sign in
time. The moral effect of this action can
not be estimated. II is an announcement
that, as far as American nations are con-
cerned, war for conquest will not be al
lowed 1t binds the United States as we'll
as the other nations. When a question
arises between the United States aud any
party to this agreement 1t will be submitted
TO arbitration. This is really a relief to
the Government of this country. We have
arrived at that point in national DEVELOPMENT
which renders war between this country ard
the comparatively small republics of Central
and South America almost impossible The
aggravation would need to be apparent and
excessive to warrant nation with 65, 0OO, 900
people going to war with one Of 5000, 900
or 100000. This event is one which will
look grander from year to year as we look
back upon it. 1t is the achievement Of Mr..
Blaine's life which will connect his name
most indissolubly with history. OF states
men it is asked when their career closes.
What did he accomplish? of what measure
Of real magnitude was he the originator or
the exponent? what real good did he do for
the people whom he served? When this is
asked of Mr.. Blaine. the answer will not be
that he was great parliamentary leader,
the Rupert of debate 1t viii not be that he
was candidate for the Presidency or that
he became Secretary of State, but that he
was the inspiration of the conference among
American nations that abolished war from
the continent What statesman, European
or American, Of the present day is certain
of a precedence in history to one of whom
this can be said?

TIE RAILROAD RECORD.

The growth of the State is chronicled
from year to year IN the reports Of the rail-
road system. The year 1888 was a year of
general prosperity, especially in the south
EN- counties. A land boom had set in and
the railroads connecting the new southern
ceuters with each other ard with the rest
Of the country were taxed to their utmost to
move passengers and freight. Late in that
year the inevitable reaction set in, the ad-
vance in land values repealed purchasers,
immigration fell oil and activity was sue
ceeded by dullness. Accordingly the an
nual report Of the Southern Pacific Railroad
shows decrease in through passenger
earnings equal to S474, 8O8 and of through
freight earnings equal TO S466.504 The
decrease is wholly in west-bouud business
and on lines leading to southern terminals.
Both the passenger and freight business on
the northern portion of the system showed
an increase as compared with 1888, but it
was not large enough to offset the decline
on the southern lines.
That the business depression caused by
the collapse OF The boom was local is shown
by the fact that passenger traffic within the
State at large shows an increase of S264, 1O1.
The movement of passengers in Northern
and Central California was active enough
10 UNSET Tie decreased movement IN the
South and to show gain for the whole
system. The same contrast is exhibited in
the freight reports. though the result was
different. The freight business on the
Central Pacific proper and the lines which
are near feeders of that road showed an
increase. but it was not large enough to
offset the decrease on local freights in the
South, and the total local freight receipts
show decrease of S495, 2S1 for the year.
TIE total mileage of the system, includ-
ing the lines Of the Atlantic portion in
Texas and Louisiana, is now 6O52 miles.
The gross earnings for the past three years
have been as follows
Io5S.......'.. 46,6S96l5
1919 4o,343,ZOT
Thus the earnings per mile were in
1889 S7G57. The Union Pacific. with a total
mileage of $50 miles, earned gross in 1889
100000, or S69IS per mile. And this not
withotanding the fact that the main line Of
the Union Pacific runs through States and
Territories which are rapidly Increasing in
population and wealth, while a great pro-
portion of the mileage of the Southern
Pacific runs through deserts in Utah,
Nevada, Southern California, Arizona and
