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

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.

THE CLOSE OF THE NINETEENTH
CENTURY.
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.
