EX-GOVERNOR PERKINS.

''The same objects which. under good gov
eminent, make the people happy and con-
tented make the individual happy and
contenIed," began Ex-Governor G. c. Per-
kins.
''The successful people. take it, are those
neither very rich nor very poor, but those
in moderate circumstances. who have not
aimed too high and have nearly reached or
quite attained what they started out in life
to attain.
"a young man should start early in life
to gain the respect and confidence and affec-
ton Of those whom be respects and whose
opinions are worth something.
IF he has the respect Of his neighbors,
that shows he is industrious, of good moral
character, honest, cheerful; in short, a man
who makes life pleasant for himself by try
ing to make il pleasant for others.
"a man may acquire all the wealth in the
world, but if he has no character il is all for
naught Money alone won't make any man
successful. That's the way il strikes me,
at any rate. You've sprung it rather sud-
denly on me. but there's food for thought in
these things, ard the young man who means
to be successful can't afford to neglect
them"

contact with ether peoples brains and
bodies.
That is strictly scientific and, more, it is
true.
Then 1t behooves us always to think well.
for we are always influencing other people
and other thought than our own. And so i
believe that il one does nothing more all
ones life than just to think well, one has
been successful.
'But, of course, II one thinks well one
will be bound to act WELL SO after all there
is a very tangible reward TO be received liz
this life as we'll as IN the one beyond The
grave for thinking well.
What society ordinarily calls success Is,
In my mind, most lamentable failure. jay
Gould was, ! believe, called a successful
man. But what did he do in life beyond &C.
cumulating great wealth? His money was
like chain and ball around his leg. ard he
could only leave it TO those who would prob
ably be the better OF without IL.
His whole life was wasted in getting
riches. his whole existence embittered by
the accumulation of that which he sought.
If American civilization is TO last 1t must
have higher ideals for its young people to
strive for than the mere accumulation OF
wealth or success in business or society.
1.-THE young should be taught 10 educate
and develop all their faculties and abilities
TO the one sepreme end that society may be
the better for their having lived in it and
been part of it.

MAYOR ELLERT.

GAS a general proposition success on a

he thinks is right.

County Official Paper.
SHORT LINE TO THE PACIFIC.

The construction Of line OF rail-
road, which will connect Denver and
San Francisco by the most direct
route that the topography OF the
country will admit Of, is now serious
ly being considered by persons who
have the means to realize the grand
conception. San Francisco and a
large section of the Pacific slope are
in bondage to the Central Pacific and
forced to yield to it's merciless tribute.
Hence the eagerness that territory
evinces for relief and the assurance
that tho metropolis of California
alone offers n bonus of s6,OOO,O00 to
the projected enterprise.
The road will go due west from
Denver and open n vast area of rich
country in Colorado which is now
practically cut off from the world.
Some Of our best informed and most
enterprising capitalists, including
President Byers of the chamber of
commerce, believe that construction
will commence this year and that the
new road will be completed within
three years.
A central idea of the projectors of
this road is to establish it's absolute
and perpetual independence by IRON
clad provisions in it's charter, 80 that
it will be forever open on equal terms
to the tonnage of all roads centering
in Denver, or which, may hereafter
connect the east with this city. This
provision would have immense signifi-
canoe for the local as we'll as the ter
minal points Of the proposed road.
1t would be difficult to exagQerate
the advantage this line would be to
Denver, or to conceive of a rational
project that would do mere to realize
the most sanguine hopes for it's sub
stantial greatness, including a popula-
ton the suggestion of which would
now incite expressions Of incredulity.
It would place this city on the most
tangible and natural transcontinental
highway that can be devised, and in
sure ill:mitable possibilities of pros
porous growth.
This projected enterprise will have
great interest for large section of the
territory which will be represented at
Ogden this week, and will doubtless
form one of the subjects to be con-
sldered b! the Trans Mississippi con-
gress. Its realization would be u
wonderful advance in western devel-
opment.-Denve News.
