SOUANTON. JAN r Ally 1, 1D01. The year of Our Loul, 1901. The Future of fcrnnton. YI'HY I-rjUTlNKN'T at the tlneshiilcj of the new year n ml new century laj:onslclcr ntlon of the future of Scran tnn. This city In ninny rcBpccts Js nt it turning point. Old conditions and old men nil- paBHliiR away. New con ditions have to be leulconcd with and now men must soon take over In largo measure the bin dens of cntcrpilso up built by their alien. Coal and Iron made Scranton. The, Iron Ih Rone: the coal Is going. A population exceeding the hundred thousand marl: must he sustained and there Is Just one way In which this can ,le done. That is by local capital putting Its hand Into Its. strong box and drawing out funds for Investment In new local industries. This doctrine has been preached for years. It must now be puictlccd. We cannot lose the steel mills, wo cannot witness the. luring of our mines Into nllen owner ship and control, we cannot see some of our foremost men of years gone by withdrawing their money from active entei prise to put It Into bonds to expe dite the adjustment of their estates In case of death, -which as a matter of nature must to the older builders of Scranton come soon these things can not bo ullowcd to take place without steps being taken to counteract them if the present proportions of our city and a healthy ratio of growth arc to be maintained. Scrunton Is at a turning point and It Is a time for plain speech. The men who made this city c.imo here when It was piactlcally a wilderness, drove slakes, l oiled up their sleeves and pitched In. They worked like beavers nualiiht alt kinds of disadvantages to create what wo hco about us now, but todav thry are dying or retiring. Their woik must be can led foiward or the city and what they have mado In It will ro down. No community can stand still. No community with out the Mends' support of a llch ar? ilcultural environment can rest on Its achievement anil live on the inter est of Its deposited savings. Nor can Scranton be upheld by the- kind of fccconil-gcncintion enterprise which, having come to wealth by Inheritance, f-oeks distant tlekls for investment or pleasure. Money dug out of Scranton Is ot little use to Scranton when in vested a hundred or a thousand miles away. Some outside Investment is In evitable but when the spirit of tho3o v.ho muke It Is ono of profane Indiffer ence to Seiann's welfare In tho years to come the gap thus opened must be filled. Is Scranton adequate to UieMask of Hoiking out Its own solvation? Or lulnly It Is. History affords no in htance of a community of Us size going to seed within tho time limit of two generations. The capital Is here, Tho population is here. The opportunities no here. The splendid foundation which the fathers laid la here to build upon, amidst advantages which they lacK'tl. And wo believe that the pub lie i-plrlt Is here but It needs to be waked up. Initiative it needed. Lead ership is demanded. Piactlcal effort along common sense lines toward spe cific ends Is required. In business as In politics zeal must be tempered by Judgment to win. Men who can do things must take hold and do them .and tho kind of public pplrlt which will iSu.stuln and esteem them Instead of picking flaws or circulating slanderous "Sliuse of them must bo aroused and nuiturcd and nuule strikingly manl test on every hand. New Year resolutions will probably not bo of much benefit to the In dividual who believed It necessary to welcome the Twentieth century with Jag. Lepers in the Philippines. THH ItEFOrtT on the sanitary conditions of the nine Im portant communities In tho Philippines, which has been forwarded to Washington by the new health board of Manila If not startling is not particularly pleasant to con template. This official document con tains the assertion that thirty tltous anil confirmed lepers aro at Qarge throughout the archipelago. More than one hundred of these vic tims of a frightful nilllctlon are de clared to have been found concealed In tho houses of friends and relatives In Manila alone, and they aro said to lift scattered widely throughout tho Islands, living often In dally contact with the Ignoinnt Inhabitants and thus disseminating one of the most ie "latent and Intolerable scourges "own to mankind. The hoalthofh- cers hnvo token steps to securo sotno remoto Island, whore theso sufferers can bo Isolated, but tho tnsk of hunt ing them out nnd separating them from their kinsfolk, even In. the limit ed regions where American authority Is acknowledged, promises to bo ono ot tho utmost difficulty, while In tho vastly larger area whore the Insur gents hold swny nothing of the sort can bo attempted. This Is not a cheerful subject to con template, bub It demands attention as one of tho problems that necessarily accompany tho annexing of distant Orlenlnl territory, densely populated by millions of human beings to whom the laws of modern sanitation aro ab solutelyunknown. This task.llko others that have been forced upon tho United States by clrcumstnnces that made tho nnnexlng of tho Philippines a neces sity, has been unshtlnklngly assumed hy tho brave representatives of tho Amerlcun government In that land, and tho work of the sanitary com mission will doubtless prove a bless ing to the denizens of tho Islands as It Is allowed to branch out In tho effort to prevent dissemination of the dreadful disease. Minister Conger has decided to re Sinn his post nt Pekln and return to this country. He has been nble to en dure almost everything during his career In tho Tartar city, but draws tho line at remarks mado at 'Wash ington regarding his "stupidity." Trade with the Philippines. IT IS MANIFESTLY early to fig ure accurately upon tho possi bilities of American trade expan sion in the Philippines. Before there can bo a fair chance for our ttatle to grow peace must bo estab lished throughout the greater portion of the principal Islands and tho con st! uctlvo agencies of civilization given time to tako loot. This may bo monthi henco or years hence, but it must como sooner or later. Yet even under tho piesent adverse conditions it is evident that considerable progress is being made. The chief of tho bureau of statistics at Washington, Mr. O. P. Austin, who has given especial attention to this subject, in an interview published In the Washington Post, notes that wheiens, in 1S97, we sent only $G9,000 worth of articles of all kinds to tho Philippines ,thls year's exports, exclu sive of supplies sent by the govern ment, aro worth $3,500,000, u gain of over DOOO per cent, in four years. But this is not all. As Mr. Austin ex plains: "The total Imports into tho Philip pines In 1S9 wer in value $20,233,000, and In 1890, basing tho estimate upon the latest obtainable figures, will prob ably bo about $23,000,000. Our own ex ports to the Philippines In 1S99 amount ed to but G per cent, of tho total Im ports of the Islands, while the figures of tho present year, so far ns now In hand, indicate thnt in 1900 we shall have furnished about 13 per cent. This Is encouraging, as it shows that we aro getting . better foothold In the Islands, as against our foreign compe titors. "Of course, the large American popu lation which has gone to the Philip pines in connection with the army and the administration of tho Islands would naturally create a demand for Ameri can goods, but even taking this Into consideration, it is evident that the native population is finding use for our manufactures. Take American carriages and cats. Dining ten months of 1S99 tho imports amounted to only $611, while for the same period ot time in 1900 the figures aggregated $12,231. The example of agricultural Imple ments is still more striking. During the first ten months ot 1S99 the Im ports of these articles Into the Philip pines were valued at only $2G, while the amount in tho first ten months of the present year was nearly $1,000. In the same period bicycles increased from $1,200 to $54,000; cotton cloth from $9,200 to $43,000; telegraph, telephone, and other scientific instruments nnd apparatus from $8,000 to $10,000; hoots and shoes from $600 to nearly $6,000. The Philippine Islands have also proved a great place for the sale of Illuminat ing oil, tho amount consumed having risen from 9,200 gallons In tho first ten months of 1899 to 012,000 gallons in tho first ten months of 1000." ' While Mr. Austin Is enthusiastic about tho development of trade with the Philippines, ho holds that this Is but a small part of what tho future holds in store for American manufac ture! s. "Tho nrero question of tho lnctense in our exports to tho islands themselves seems to me to bo a small one," ho says, "compared with tho prospective value of the Philippines as a door to the commerce of tho Or ient. Tho population of the countries und Islands of Asia nnd Ocennlca, whose cities aro nearer to Manila than any other great entrepot or dlsttlbut Ing point, Is 830,000,000, or moro than half the population of the world, and their annual purchases amount to $t,200,000,000, or $100,000,000 a month. Muny of their cities Ho almost as near to Manila as Havana is to New York, and all lie much nearer to Manila than to any other general distributing point for merchandise. Tho people of all those countries have shown a grow ing taste for the products of the United States, as Is Illustrated by tho fact thnt our exports to Asia, which in 1897 amounted to nearly $33,000,000, were In ten months of 1900, $51,0j0,000; nnd to Oceanlca were In ten months of 1897 $17,000,000, and in ten months of 1900 $32,000,000, showing a growth In three years' time of CO per cent. In our exports to the Orient. With a market of $100,000,000 ft month, which seems thus to bo hungering for American products, and a great distributing point under our flag within easy reach of Its commercial cities, and direct water communication with our own way stations on the Pacific route, it seems to mo that tho value of tho Philippines as an open door and a distributing point for that great mar ket must be vastly in excess of that Indicated by mere examination of the consuming power of the (Elands them selves." There are some persons who affect to believe that considerations of com mercial advantage In connection with American sovereignty In tho Philip pines aro sordid ard should have no weight. Wo do not ngrco with them. The United States, having got the Filipino boar by tho tall In suon"a" manner its to forbid Its letting , Is fully entitled to got what It fairly) can out of tho situation In the way of Com pensation. I f The New Year pandemonium oc last night Is excusable In this Instance. It tho noisy enthusiasts will refrain for another hundred yenrs they wllWdoubt less bo forgiven by the most nervous of their sleepless auditors. Numerous midnight weddings were celebrated last night at various loca tions about tho country. As a gen uine novelty the century wedding puts the Fourth of July and Christmas weddings far In the shade. From the vicious manner In which Washington papers pitch into General Miles, It would seem that tho grizzly warrior must at some date in tho past have "turned down" the ubiquitous na tional capital reporters. The canned roast beef controversy, Ilka t)io Chicago product, does not seem to Improve with age. From latest reports the South Af rlenn war seems in danger ot spread ing In England. Tho Jnnuary thaw was on time this year. " THE WORLD JJJJJJ ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TODAYotjtjtQt Copyilglit, 1M0, by It. U. Hushes, Louis-, vllle.l THH AUK 01' electricity dinned with the nineteenth century. TIio researches of lieu Jarnin franklin, of Philadelphia, who dicl ten years before, did much to extend the theoretical and practical knowledge and spread the study of the subject. By draft Ing the electric me from the clouds franklin demonstrated the per fect Identity of llRlitning and electricity and be came the "lirst Hithtnlnir-rod aiteot." In thejear of franklin's death Galvln made the Rreat dli rovcry that the contacts of metalj produced mus cular contraction In the frop. In 1S00 tlio voltaic pile was invented by Volta. These led to the iccof-nltlon of a new kind of electricity called Walvanic or Voltaic, nliltli later proved to bo Identical with frlctlonat electricity, following close on Volta'a intention Nlcolson aud Carlisle discovered the pile to decompose water. Voltalj electricity now absorbed the attention ot experi mental philosophers. The splendor of its phen omena, as well as Its association with chemical dlscoury, contributed to give It popularity and importance. Tho application of analysis fo electrical phen omena may bo datid also from the commencement of the new century. Coulomb had considered only tho distribution of electricity on the surface of fphcrcs; but Laplace undertook to investigate its distribution on the 6urfaco of ellipsoids of rev olution, and lie showed that the thickness of the coatlni: of fluid at tho polo was Its thickness at the equator as the pohr Is to the equatorial diam eter. The "crown of cups" of Volta was tho parent of a Ricat many other arrangements for the pro duction of voltaic electricity. Thee had for their end either compactness or diminution of tho Internal lesistancc by enlarging the plates, be cliinlng; with the battery of Crulckshank this J ear. If. PiazI, the astronomer at the observatory established ten jcars before at Palermo, while searching on the first night of the new century for star S7 of the catalogue of Major, cursorily observed a small star of the eighth magnitude between Aries and Taurus. Other astronomers were quickly Informed and the discovery was a several days' wonder. Piazza gate the planet the name of Ceres Fcrdlntndca, In honor of Ferdinand, King of Naples, in whose dominions ho bad mado the dl,,coery, nnd who proposed to commemorate tho event by a gold medal struck with the cfllgy of the astronomer, but l'lazzt preferred and was given an equatorial, which was then still wanting to the Palermo observatory. Ceres was 100 miles in diameter and the first of the asteroids discov ered, Pallas was seen a jear later, Juno In ISO! and Vesta In 1S07. The next, Astrh, was not lo cated until 1SIJ. Others came rapidly after that till the number reached Into the hundreds. Giovanni ldlnl was chosen to succeed Ms founer teacher, CauterzonI, In the chair of phjslcs nt Ilologna, and there gavn bis special attention1 to the subject of galvinUm, the Illumination of llght-liouie by gas an an asbestos or fire-proof fabric. The Imperial Slandaid of the United Kingdom was holatril on Dublin Cistle, following the pas sage In both paillamont of the act of union be tween flrcat Ililtain and Ireland.

Written for Ibo Tribune What causes this widespread solemnitjt As I look upon the earth, I behold The eons of men around their cozy hearths, Heads bowed down III thought, silence prevailing Everywhere, among the rich and poor. Now, as I look Into thoso minds I see, That the thoughts go backward to the past; A whispering voice I hear pronouncing, "The hour of twelve is fast approaching." Swiftly passes through my mind the question, Why that should causo this dreadful, solemn rcigh, Is there aught peculiar about It? Docs not "The Hour of Twelve' come every night? While thus absorbed In thought, I notice that The timepiece lacks one minute of that hour. i A blinding flash! And now I feel nijsclf Borne with greatest rapidity through space, I stop, and find that I am standing on Tho verge of a madly rushing torrent, Whllo the opposlto bank doth bear a sign Uon which, In brilliant, flashing letters, I behold the single word called "Future." Like a fiery bolt from the beaveni. Came the thought as I gazed upon that vrord, Which made me comprehend it all, that this Is the last moment of this century, As well as of the year, month, week and day, A panoramic picture passes throu&U My mind with lightning-like rapidity. I see tlds century lias won the Tact In its progress In arts and sciences; All previous insignificant to this For Inventions and in discoveries. I see the American Eagle perched On the staff of Victory and Triumph, Tho United States revered and called "The Land of react, the Aboda of Liberty." Boom! A report I bear, louder by far Than artillery' roar In fiercest war, The earth trembles beneath my feet, and yet, Through the roarlug sounds of the quaking earth, I bear tlio cloclc toll "The Hour of Midnight." Thus awakened from my dazed condition, I find mjself In tho "Land of Future," On the other sldo of the rushing stream. Behind mo lies tlio Nineteenth Century, A thing of the past. Pleasured and sadness Hath it brought, fortunes and loverses wrought) But 'til all past, let it le forgotten. Turning, I look before me, and see, in The glorious rajs of the moon and stars, tht New and brilliant twentieth century. What It will brlnif forth, none can even guess. David Landau. For Sale.
