VISION OF THE FUTURE. Bill Nye Has a Glimpse of the Twentieth Century. TIIE FtTIKE OF THE INDIANS. Commissioner Morgan Thinks Their Num bers Will Increase —George Westing houso on the Development of Hallway Speed—Attorney General Miller on Fu ture Divorce Laws—Other Predictions. ICopyright, 1893, by American Press Associa tion.] Politically there will be far less money expended In electing officials, I fancy, and many of our leading politicians out of a job will bo living on the island, while those now on the island will have le.irued that the price of one vote will not maintain them for four years. All these things will ele vate society and throw what is now called society out of a job. The government will grow simpler. So will the men who now overestimate their wisdom. The government shonV own both rail ways and telegraphs, no ▼Tubt, but how the transfer could be made so as to avoid a large steal while the state is looking out of the window Ido not know. It would be a good time now to buy some roads I know of—roads that are never on time but once a year, and that is when t hey put on extra steam in order to pass a dividend. I believe that in our monetary system the same change will be maintained, though more of it perhaps. I thiuk less attention will be paid to tem perance legislation and more to the study of the human stomach. Bad cooking, es pecially as we find it in poor hotels on the road, is the parent of many drunkards. You cannot legislate nice, new iron gray brains or good stomachs Into people who have ac quired by descent or purchase weak, in flamed and diseased ones. If so, the legis lature would have very little time to work outside of the Capitol building. I do not see any practical way of punish ing prisoners at present, but am liable to think of one at any time. The laws of divorce are quite well adapt ed to this age, and the only improvement I see would be for people who apply for di vorce to pay regular advertising rates In stead of displaying free to the public their private bone works in order to boom a new play or a new star. I see no reason to hope that money will not accumulate in the bauds of a few in the future even more than in the past. There will bo more generations also between shirt sleeves and shirt sleeves. Vast corporations and business aggrega tions may become top heavy aud cumber some, and with threatened strikes or actual trouble of that kind capital may fight shy of them inside of 100 years. The laboring classes will always be op pressed, and the more their wages are in creased the more fatigued they will feel. I speak from experience. Our soil, with improved agricultural methods, should grow enough for an in creased population, but I hope that the government will not depend too much on me. I fanned last year in North Carolina : and bought hay for my horses, canned food j for my family and used condensed milk on days when my valet used to milk our spirited cow by scaring her half way over a barbed wire fence and then attending to her dividend arrangement while the bawl ing or intellectual end hung over the other sida Law, medicineund theology will continue to advance us rapidly as they have the past 100 years, especially theology. We will continue to talk saucily to all three until we meet them, and then we will retract all that we have said. I see more possibilities | for medicine, however, than for the rest. American literature, I hope, will be more ; realistic in 100 years, and it will be, I trust, as good in the daily press at two cents as in the more elaborate and expensive publica tions. I trust there will bo less colic among ! poets, and less vain regret and gastritis among poetesses. Music and the drama will grow rapidly. The great American play has been already ' written by Mr. Howard, and a new era is about to be opened. 1 may open one myself. Educational methods will go on toward perfection, and finally the pupil will not have to apply himself at all, but the teach er's work will grow more laborious. Dress, I hope, will be simplified for the daytime, though evening dress could not be made more simple than it is without carrying the entire train and waistband in the hand and getting a check for it at the door. Man will dress as usual, paying eight dolhtfrs twice each year for a high hat that Las just change enough in it to compel him to buy one every six months. He will also wear other clothing, but it will be simple and not so close fitting. The architecture will advance in great cities, and the architects will go on mak ing pretty drawings of dwelling houses which will not have any closets, and the hall will contain the woodbox and lava tory, as they do now. Women will never want the right of suf frage—that is, there will not be enough of them want it to even encourage the men folks to give it to them. The future of tho servant problem is the same as the future of the ungodly—viz., hell. 1 look for the perfection of the flying machine, but fear it will arrive too lute to be of practical use to lecturers. "Will the race be handsomer, healthier or happier than it is now?" I hope so. Our greatest city will be on the present site of Chicago. As to who will be the American most honored in 1993, 1 am offering odds that it will not be the son of a wealthy man, but some poor boy at present with chapped wrists and chilblains on his heels, whose hcurt is full of hope and whose terror now is soap. " Of course the people will not have for gotten Washington, and I am also putting up a delicate little tribute to myself in the way of u mausoleum which will resist climatic action and keep me as green as ever in the memory of those from whom 1 am liable now to be snatched away at any moment. DILL NYE. Attorney General Ml HIT on Future Di vorce Lawn. (From Onr Washington Correspondent.] "The next 100 years," said Attorney General Miller, "will bring few changes in our federal government. He would be a rash man who should positively predict that conditions will not arise which might make a change of some radical nature im perative, but I can see no signs of such a necessity. In minor respects there will be changes und modifications, no doubt, such as are suggested by experience. In fact, some changes are already known to be do •irable. , "A century hence I should expect to see the divorce laws of the country, for In stance, much more harmonious than they are at the present time. But I believe our divorce laws will continue to be the enact ments of states and not of the federal con gress. lam its much of a believer as any one in what is called centralization of power for all national purposes, but 1 can not believe that divorce or regulation of divorce can be made to appear in any proper sense a national question. What is not truly national should be left to the states. "It is true that the lack of uniformity In the divorce laws of the states is at the I present time a crying evil. It tempts to j corruption and at best produces confusion in the courts and sometimes consternation in the marriage relations of individuals. Remedy for this will be found, I think, during the coming 100 years in perfec tion of the divorce laws of the states after what shall appear- to be the best models. Instinctively aud for the good of the people of their own state, legislators will adopt the statutes of those common wealths which have secured best results, or at best imitate thein. "It is possible, though 1 am not willing j to say probable, that congress may promote | the much desired homogeneity of divorce laws by some act designed to give greater force to that section of the constitution which provides that 'full faith and credit 6hall be given in each state to the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of every other state.' It is from lack of such credit in some state courts to the acts of other state courts that much of the con fusion in divorce matter proceeds. The constitution expressly authorizes congress to apply a remedy in such cases, adding, 'And tho congress may by general laws pre scribe the manner in which such acts, records and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.' Under this au thority congress might and probably should enact some law that will make obli gatory the giving in each state of full faith and credit in divorce proceediugs and legis lation in other states." The American Indians In 1993. I have been asked to set forth what changes are likely to take place in the status of the American Indians during the coming century. It must be confessed that I have considerably less confidence in my prophetic ability than I hod before the last presiden tial election, but as no one of the 05,000,000 people of this country will ever know whether my prophecy proves true or false I may venture to indulge my imagination ■ with some degree of impunity. J The number of Indiuns at the present time is about 250,000. A hundred years hence they will number a million or so, the increase being duo to the cessation of wars, the spread of intelligence and moral ity, tho improvement of hygienic condi tions, the disappearance of the medicine man, the better food supply and the inters i marriage with whites. | Meanwhile some tribes will become whol | ly extinct, leaving scarcely a trace of their history outside of the records of the Indian , bureau. Other tribes, like tho Sioux and | Navajo, will rapidly increase and will ro , tain most of their characteristic traits. The j Pueblos of New Mexico, who are rejecting so successfully tho efforts of tho govern- I raent in their behalf, will coutinue to be a I favorite people for ethnologists and self os ! tracized journalists who find pleasure and profit in barbarism. There will be here and there wandering bands of blanket beggars—aboriginal tramps—perpetuating the absurdities and enormities of Indian life either as a profes sion or as a providential object lesson for students of history, who will thus be able to form a fair estimate of the great work | that the Indian bureau has wrought in helping to redeem the great mass of them. ' The tribes will disappear and the agen cies become a thing of the past, thus dis posing of the much abused Indian agents, whether civilians or army oflicers. The friction between the interior and the war departments will be produced by other causes, and army oflicers, having no longer an exeuae for trying to run tho Indian of fice, will seek other fields for the exercise of their talents. Further, the said Indian of fice—that inexhaustible source of news when all sources fail—will be forever closed, tho Indian commissioner will have a rest, and the Catholics and penny-a-liners on mischief bent will have to hunt for other targets. The great body of Indians will become merged in the indistinguishable mass of i our population, and there will spring up a , new aristocracy, claiming distinction by reason of Indian duscent. To be able to trace one's pedigree back to Bome great warrior or big chief, or to have the right to claim descent from one of the first gradu ates of Carlisle, will be almost as desirable as to belong to New York's Four Hundred. Many Indians will achieve distinction as orators, poets, financiers and inventors. .Some of the finest poetry ever penned will find its inspiration and material in Indian history, and a whole generation of novelists will win fame and favor by stories whose leading characters are of Indian descent. Chicago university will proudly boast of an Indian laboratory devoted to Indian life and language. An Indian will command the United , States army, and another will be our min ister to Spain and have the honor of invit j ing the royal party to attend the centennial fair to bo held in Denver in 1U92. With the disappearance of the Indians will disappear the Indian Rights nssocia ; tion, or it will turn its ever watchful eye to j the condition of the perhaps still "heathen Chinee," and the army will gludly abandon the plains and take up its permanent abode , in the ever desired haven of Washington. THOMAS J. MORGAN, Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Mrs. Leslie Foresees Iconoclusm. ! To my mind the world, and more espe cially the New World, is hastening rapidly toward iconoclusm. Mon&rchs who used to be worshiped as gods and later on were so feared and misapprehended that the peo ple slew them to save themselves from some terrible extermination are now only laughed at and their natural disappearance from the scene foretold with as little awe as is felt in speaking of the destruction of the bison or tho "noble savage." Religion, anotbft grand conservator of 1 the distinction of classes, is unfortunately ceasing to be a power in tho world, but rather the recreation of a small portion of ! the people. Dress, formerly a species of trademark placed by tho nations upon their popula- I Mon, is rapidly losing its individuality all j over the world. The Turk has exchanged his turban for the silk hat, and the Tyro lean maiden wears a very faroff imitation j of an old Parisian fashion. | Language is struggling toward univer -1 sality, and almost any one can now make j himself understood almost anywhere. In politics the people as a controlling | power are coming to the front more or less • rapidly in even the oldest empires of ! earth, and it needs no prophet to foretell j that in 101)3 the world will have become j equalized in every respect, even to dire monotony. I The position of woman at the end of an -1 ©ther century is A matter very easy to per- I ceive and very difficult to formulate. That 1 the era of woman as a power has com j menced the shortest vision must discern. i Her advancement has been as solid and as I irresistible as that of the dames des halle . upon the royalties of Versailles, and the spectator holds his breath, muttering, "And then?" | I speak impersonally, being one of those i women whose hands have always been too | full to allow her to grasp at any more rights I thau they held, but as I glance across the field of the Twentieth century I hold my breath in awe at the possibilities of the reign of woman then displayed. The "servaut problem" is an imminent one, for no one is found to dispute that an archy in domestic matters is the near result of the present attitude of the domestic of ficlal. I am inclined to prophesy that a species of "civil service" will be the result. Centralization is the law of the future, and a paternal government must establish do mestic depots where every class of servants 6hall bo trailed and placed under stringent regulations. In fact, both employers and employed will be subject to laws which both classes will be instrumental in framing. It is a possi bility, but I do not undertake just here to formulate it, leaving that to the wise heads of 1950. MRS. FRANK LESLIE. Tho Possibilities of Ilailway Speed. [From Our Pittsburg Correspondent.| Mr. George Westiughouse, whose career as an inventor has been one of the ro mances of the Nineteenth century, in speak ing of the possibilities of railway speed in the Twentieth century, said: There is no question about the develop ment of a much hiftfier rate of speed than that which even the fastest service on the railroads of today maintain. 1 presume that a speed of from 90 to 100 miles an hour could bo secured with modern locomotives and with the improvements which are'sure to come. But I am inclined to think that other in flueuces may operate to prevent in the next century the runuing of railway traius at such a speed as I have seen mentioned in some of tho newspapers. It is not a ques tion of attaining speed, but a question of the eontrol of the train after great speed has been secured. Suppose, for instance, that a railway train is going at the rate of ninety miles au hour. The engineer sees a danger signal or an obstruction on the track 1,000 feet away. Now, experiments have shown that with a perfect brake acting under the most per feet conditions it is impossible to procure a greater retarding etlect than would be equivalent to stopping a train going at the rate of three miles an hour in a second of time. It is therefore easy to make a com putation of the effect of such a brake upon a train running ninety miles an hour within 1,000 feet. When the engineer had reached the danger signal or tho obstruction his train would still be going at the rate of sixty miles an hour, and if ho was running his engine at the rato of sixty miles he could only check it to a rate of something like forty miles an hour within that dis tance. For this reason I am inclined to think that the development of railway travel in tho next century along the present lines will be not so much great speed as uniform speed. The ideal speed, I thiuk, will be about forty miles an hour and steadily maintained from the time of leaving one terminal to tho time of the arrival at desti nation. That will give most satisfactory results. A steady speed of forty miles an hour would enable a train to run from New I York to Chicago in a little over tweuty I hours and with greater economy and far less danger. It is my impression, therefore, that railway travel in the next century will 1 take ou this development rather than high rates of speed. I am also satisfied that the immense cost of furnishing power for electric railways, which some persons seem to think can secure and maintain a speed of 100 miles an hour or more, will make Buch a develop ment commercially unprofitable, although there is no doubt that electricity as a motive power for passenger traffic will be extensively used in the next century Comptroller Mutllims Urcanm of a Great Empire. [From Our Washington Correspoucient.| "1 think I can seo a hundred years hence," said First Comptroller Matthews, of the United States treasury, "an ocean bound republic over every part of which the stars and stripes will proudly wave. Looking to the future, my eye detects in the dim hori zon an American republic which shall em brace not only the present United States and Alaska, but all the remainder of the North American continent now under British, Mexican or minor domination, it seems to me that this is the destiny of America—to come under one government, to have but one (lag, to be one people. "Such consolidation of power and uniil cation of interest will of course make the j greatest empire the sun ever shone upon, i It will be an empire unrivaled in ancient [ or modern times in population, in cliniat i ical favor, iu physical resources and in the intelligence and patriotism of its people. Isolated to some extent from the remain der of the world, we shall have little dan gerof entangling alliances or of trouble some contact. r l here will be no disputes about boundary lines, about seal or fish or bait. There will be no international rail way question to harass our statesmen or unsettle trade. This great ocean bound American republic will maintain a navy superior to anything else atloat simply as a matter of precaution. "There will be free trade throughout the North American continent and possibly free I trade with all the world. As to this 1 can not say, nor even hazard an opinion, though I 1 am satisfied that if free trade or freer I trade shall come it will not be for many , years, and not till every important indus try existing or possible throughout the length and breadth of the new and larger ; republic has been planted firmly upon a basis of enduring prosperity. "Such a government will be strong enough to protect even the humblest of its citizens and to develop every resource, it will be a government of perhaps sixty jprtates of the Union, and in the form of gov fjrnment 1 do not expect to see much change from tJ.e present. Human mind I has not yet 'lev'sed improvements upon our present fotcu which are likely to com mend themselyts to any considerable part of the people, and yet it is a comfort to know that \'K have the elasticity which will enable us easily and peacefully to adapt ourselves to any new conditions that may arise. For 100 years or more to come, however, 1 expect to see our present form of government substantially preserved and extended gradually over Mexico, Cauuda and British America and the states of Cen tral America. "It will be an empire with the greatest railways—steam or electrical—canals and waterways, cities, farms, homes, colleges, factories, telegraphs, telephones and all the new anil wondrous tilings which a ceu tury of invention may bring us, the moat perfect civilization and most prosperous and happy people that the world ever knew."

James, inside superintendent for Coxe Bros, it Co. hero, is on the sick list. It is rumored that work will be sus pended here on or about the middle of March for at least two months in order to get the machinery in the new breaker, which will he completed about that time. One of our young men claims he saw one of the high way men between High land and Freeland as he was returning home from Freeland a few evenings ago. Mary Ann is of the opinion that half <f the highwaymen that are seen there are the people's own shaddows. James, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Burns, who had been ill for the ' past week, is recovering. The next thing in order among the boys is the election of officers for the celebration of St. Patrick's Day parade. Eckley lias some expert skaters of which it can boast and feel proud of, especially those who reside on Big Bug Hun. Election day is drawing near and every candidate for an ofliee in this locality is hustling the best way lie can, trying to be on the safe side. Signal lights are being placed on the switches along the D. S. & S. A certain young man of town mourns the loss of his mustache, as Barber Wyatt placed it in the scrap basket on Saturday evening.
