THE VALUE OF ECONOMY.

Men on small incomes may answer
very justly that the attainment of this
delightful haven is not conceivable for
them because they do not earn enough
TO leave them any hope of accumulat-
ing such a surplus. This is so, and it will
not help matters to deny what they say.
Salaries or wages which permit no mar
gin for saving will not bring wealth,
however long they are received. But
what they overlook is this: The
settled incomes of rich men have not
all been won in a single genera
ton. The little funds of thrifty men
and women put away dollar at time
have grown, in the course, not perhaps
of ten years, but maybe in the course
of hundreds OF years, into completeness
and powerful capitals. No one set of
men can reasonably calculation getting
together. if they start with nothing. more
than enough to protect them from want
in their old age: but even If they do
this it will be something. and will make
the tasks of their sous an easier one.
Many a young lad could by his own
personal economies in his youth put
away enough to start him in life if he
were not called on for cOntribu-
lions to the support of his relatives
whose improvidence has left them
helpless in advancing years. If in adj
dition to this he could have the assist
ance of even a small surplus from his

NOTES VERSUS BEAMS.

The Pioneer Press, quicker to discern
the mote in a brothers eye than the
beam in its own, affects to grieve over
the occasional declaration of Democrat
Il favor of free coinage of silver, and
characterizes all such expressions as
Democratic plumbers. If free coinage
meant the kind contemplated by the
VEST amendments the senate bill~which
passed that Republican body, the GLOBE
agrees that it would be a blunder,
whether committed by the Democrats, or,
as in that case. by the Republicans who
were in control of the senate. But that
is not what is meant by Democrats gen
orally nor what is meant by the Alliance,
save the fragments of the old repudlat-
ing, dishonest Greenback party which
have gone into the latter. NODemocrat
who understands what Democracy is
will ever agree to have the government
give the owners of silver bullion % cents
an ounce more than they can get for it
in the market, no matter how speciously
they may cover up their object.
But if a declaration in favor of the
free coinage of bullion. whether gold or
silver, on basis of an exchange of
bullion at market value for coin at mint
value, is Democratic blunder, the
GLOBE invites its contemporary to
explain what the declaration of the
present Republican candidate for gov
ernor OF Ohio is. Mr. MCKINLEY said
only last February: 'Durihs all OF his

LITTLE CHANCE FOR 1T.

Arizona is evidently hopeful of ad-
mission at an early period. All the Deo-
pie there, without reference to party,
are reported to be eager for statehood.
\ convention is to be held on the 18th of
neXth month to frame state constitu-
ton and make application to congress
for admission the coming winter. The
census shows that the territory has sub
stantially the same population as Wy
Oming, and, as it is mainly an agricult-
tural state. it is not likely to fluctuate
in population like the mining regiOuS.
If the experiments being made to pro-
duce rain by explosives are the success
some are so confident of, Arizona has
vast arid area that will become a we'll
settled and fruitful region. There is
10 doubt that it has residents who
can operate a state in good style
and without harm to the country,
still, it is not likely to find the door to
statehood open just yet Wyoming and
Idaho. which are largely mining camps,
and have regions and towns that are
decaying, were admitted without wait
ing for any definite knowledge of
their population or prospects, because
they were safely Republican and would
add four senators to the doubtful ma
jOrity in the senate. 1t is now claimed
that exaggerated representations were
had as to the population of Wyoming.
and it would not have been admitted
had the facts been known. That is
fancy work. The figures were not
wanted. Arizona is uncertain poiti-
cally, and might elect Democratic sena-
tors and vote wrong in the presidential
election. OF course, it is NIT for adj
mission. The senate will quite surely
refuse admission to any state before the
election of 1892.

THE VALUE OF CAPITAL,


There is much that is timely and
much that is true in all this; but, in
view of the big crop which is in sight,
and the promise of great local prosper
ity which will attend it, more cheer
full way Of looking at things perhaps be-
fits the present moment. The eXplana-
ton of American Overwork is the exist
enee of national poverty. Men of cult
ure and capacity for enjoyment do
concentrate themselves on toll with
a persistence and continuity which
are found in the corresponding
class of no other nation under
the sun. But this is because the tasks
which we have had to do have been
largely performed in foreign lands by
generations which are gone. The aver
age man or woman in England or
France has some capital, although it
may be small one, which he has inner
tied from the Accommodations of his an
cestors. Centuries of patient labor, ac-
cOmpanied by petty savings by one
thrifty soul here and another thrifty
soul there, have stored up sums of
varying sizes. which. safely invested,

them. Besides this, the settled meth

manently and the returns from which
are regular and certain. Rich houses
employ stewards and secretaries whose
duties are nominal but whom they re-
tain in lifelong attachment. The civil
service includes long lists of employees

efforts are supplemented by steady
help from sources which consume none

business deliberately and with such
occasional reSpites and vacations as his
pleasure suggests. But most of us in
America are the first of our lines. Our
fathers have left us little but the herit-
age of good names and clean c0nsciences.
We enroll ourselves in the ranks of
workers, either as employees or prin-
cipals. Our competitors are others
equipped like ourselves. They have to
labor continuously, because TO stop
means to jeopardize their living. We
have to do the same thing in order to
keep up with them. independence of

the accumulation of such sums as will

RIFLE FOE YOUNG MEN.

At the leading colleges in PennsyI-

distraeting. Probably their rule is based
on general principles, and worthy of
wide acceptance. 1t is not radical, as
reformatory breaks are apt to be.
The sex is not cruelty discarded
entirely. The philosophy evolved
in connection is not limited to scholaS-
tics. 1t holds that the best results may,
as a rule, be obtained by the extension
Of the regulation. The mental forces
are concentrated upon the hebdomadal
effort instead of being diffused to ineffi-
cheney. Many girls have several young
fellows on the string whom they wish to
distract. Danger of confusion on this
line is reduced by the weekly rule. The
furnishing and makeup that are so cost
~ in time, and often temper, are not then
liable to be lost. 1t is difficult to apply
systematic methods to such lines of
duty, but the Pennsylvania system has
advantages that make it worthy of con-
sideratiOn.

I am not in favor of the proposal made by
Architect Edbroode that the city purchase
certain land opposite the site of the new
public building i'll order that more land may
be given to the government and the course
of Market street changed. The reason that
am opposed to it is that the city has been
very generous in its donation to the govern
ment, and at the present time We must ex-
ercise the most rigid economy l think that
upon the site donated a most magnificent
building can be erected which will be a credit
to the city. Another point which must not
be lost sight of is the fact that we do not
know how much congress will appropriate
for the building. Already it has voted $780,
O19. but no one can say how much more
money will be voted. or if any at all. If we
knew positively the amount which will be
allowed for the building it would be another
matter, for then we might have enough for
building which the present site could not ac-
commodate. [ am not in favor of the plan
for the reasons have stated.

nance does not allow any public vehicles
to run on the boulevards without a lady
