CONSlDKIt the manner In
which Attorney Oeneial i:i

of the lcadcii of the paity, In- had an

and asMiiancPs of suppoit in .-evpu-tppti
of the nineteen counties of the
state wheie ptimuries had been held.
He was successful In peiy county
vhPie a contest was made.
"It was accepted that this ,is a
test of his popular btiengrth, and tlmt
the load-s of the paity would not an
tagonive his candidacy any furthoi. I
am inlormed that no leader of the p.n
ty had over indicated to 3li. :ikln
that his candidacy was r.ot acceptable
until ho met Senator Qu,i at the Hotel
Stratfoid last Filday. I do not undei
Rtand why he .should have been pei -mitted
to go .so far in his campaign If
It was the intention of the leaders to
tlnottle him in the end. He lias made
his light in the open, and the people of
the i-tate have tallied under his stand
aid in a remai liable degree.
"In my judgment, lie is the stinuRCit
candidate who can he named, and bis
sticngth K stowing more and mote
evp;y day. Under thee circumstances,
that the le.uleis ot lite p.uty should
now undertake to stt angle his ai-piia-tlons
is to me unfathomable. T com
mend Mr. KIklu for the stand lie has
taken, and pledge my-elf to .stand by
him under all chcumstance--. I now
unfutl the Klkin 'Sink or Rwlnr ban

William i 'ounell.
Senator Pemo-e, unlike his colleague,
expects to hive a fututc In PciiitFlva

pinch comes, ho will think twice befoie
givlii" his sanction to the attempted
slaughter of John P. Klkln.

JIANXnil In whlLh the
-euato loolly leuist the
louse Chinese exiluslon
measuie and sent It back to
the lower blanch ntlni.s the original
enacting clause, thus giving it the pui
lianicntaiy status or vhtually a new
hill original with the senate, Is one of
the many leceiit examples of the glow
ing disposition of senatois to consider
the house of lcpiesentutives a negli
gible quantity in matters of legislation.
It is nototlously tine that the passage
of a, bill thiough tho house is no longer
u giiaianteo, it Is hardly any longer an
Index of its ultimate fate. The senate
not only Insists upon exeicising fully
Its constitutional powers, hut In piac
tlce has come to take a cettaln ile
giee of delight In upsetting what the
house has done, often, u would seem,
without i pretence to the wisdom or un
v Isdom of tlte house's action.
Take, tor example, the Cuban teel
pioelty bill. For weeks the hoti'-e has
lioen woirying over this measuie In one
of the most despeiate political lights
of, lecent yeais. Yet it Is freely ns
neiitedtand generally believed tltat, no
iimttw what-decision the house nilfiht
h.vo. rcjacjipd, the senate would, in tho
piil, hayo piovhled for reilpiocal ttla

pejfcelUaso basis moie ilheial than Is

tlife admiiilstiatlorrH agenlH have been

tolbe hecuuse they havo all ulong had

number of senatois to u-IUno them of
thi necessity for anxiety. Moio and
mlo tho senatti Is becoming ihu nie
doNiiicittl power in our government,
shBrt or the executive himself; and
1 h Vo aie many reusons to think that
jto( even tho executive can keep pace
vlfh the senate In the drift toward n
ueiised llllthoilty,
foino jears ago we heard much In
dnrl&lou of the Rcuate, and tliero are
e, those who tool that In Itspersonnel
it 'represents at (ho present tlnia a
noticeable declluo Horn ,tl)o Ktuudaids
of ortyMilfty or beventy-lha ye.us ago.
Most o'f'ttrls kind of talk Aioceeds from
Igrorajiee of tliefo'etsTm! feennto has
neycr'been jnore nowtfullia a factor
In sliaplnt,' tho 'concerns oTTffifVverniiient
thaii It It at this period; nnd'fiom the
In A. D. 2000.
O.Mi: years ago a novel with
tills as Its title gained consid
erable vogue by leason of Its
dining prophecies of Widlenl
changes to come. We lecall two of
these. One was an anticipation or
wheless telcgtaphy whereby nows
papeis Identical In form and contents
weie issued simultaneously In all thu
largo cities. Another was a form of
travel thiough gicat tubular tunnels,
with vacuums In fiont and the motive
power supplied by air lushing In fiom
the rear. The journey front Xew Voile
to San. I'Vancteco by this method was
to he a matter of about six hours.
JCow comes another piophet to the
bar, II. O. Wells. Long celebrated as
the successor or .lule-s Veino in the
wilting of novels which foretell if they
do not direct the achievements of sil
ence. Sir. Wells in his latest book un
doi takes by logical deduction to inai k
out the pathway of the scientific evolu
tion of civilization. A summary of Ids
piedictlori, adapted ftom n. long re
view In u lecent Is-up o the Xew
Yoik Times, makes Interesting leading.
Tlte nineteenth century having been
the age of thu lion hoi so, .Mr. Wells
beliees that the twentieth will be that
of the locomobile. He thinks Hint the
Uitblne-v.hppl system of applied pner
gy vtllt piobably supeisedu what he
describe as the puniplng-machine sys
tem, the locomotive of today being
meiely an evolution of the primitive
engine that was first used in fleeing the
coal mines in 3ancashire of water.
There ate to be special loads lor motor
cmiages and motor omnibuses, where
on they may travel thtee hunched miles
or; nioi e a. day. The present railway
sj'-tern will gradually become extinct.
The faculty of using private vehicles
of such gieat speed will lestoie to trav
el something or the old individualism.
Mr. Wells foiesees a diffusion of t he
much augmented population of the
gi eater cities oei vastly Inci eased
areas. The tnitoii.il dimensions add
distribution of cities aie governed by
the means of transportation and circu
lation. The immense giovvth of towns
in the nineteenth century lie aseiibes to
the development ot railways. Hut the
new cities, he thinks, "will not he, in
the old seii'-e, cities at all: they will
piesent a new and entlielv different
phase of human distribution." In this
tho ease of impioved telephonic com
munication wlll.be an Important fac
tor, for people will no longer be forced
to be persoruillv In the place where
their business is transacted. In tho
age when pedestllanlsm was tho l ule
of ttavel foi the populace the city was
limited to a radius of lour miles; later,
when hor-.es weie used, to eight miles.
The chetp railway lourney has extend
ed that radlu to thirty miles. As one
hundred miles an hour will bo an ot
dln.uy speed in the future, the writer
pi edicts that in A. D. 000, London and
Xew York-Philadelphia, the latter two
considered as one, will each have at
least twice that radlu-. In extent. Hut
theaeiage deiT-it of population In
most of the laigo cities will not bo so
gieat as it is now. As to the aggre
gates of population, he -as: "So lur
as London, St. Peteiibuig and Heilln
go ll seems fairly safe to assume th it
they will go well over twenty millions
teach); and that Xew York, Philadel
phia and Chicago will probably, and
Hankow nlmost certainly reach forty
millions. Yet torty millions over III, 000
squat e miles of teiilloty Is, in lorn
patlson witlr four millions over llfty
square miles, n highly diffused popu
lation." So much lor a partial hint of the gen
eial material conditions that may de
termine the character of the gieat
cities a bundled years hence. The
changed social status will be due as
much to the development or deteriora
tion of the it responsible, independent,
Idlo lucome-di awing class as to ma
teiial advances. This class, Mr. Wells
thinks,' will be segregated in a meas
ure ftom the useful, scientifically prac
tical members of rhe community, who
will receive lire greater honor and will
be the real bulldus of rhe future so
ciety, Thcie will be no longer the
"helpless super sti.oil poor, that broad
base of mere tollers now no longer es
sential," There will bo "a gieat in
choate mass of moie or less capable
people engaged moie or less conscious
ly in applying the giowing body or scl
entllli) knowledge to the geneial needs,
a great mass that will Inevitably lend
to organize Itseir lit a system of inter
dependent educated classes with a com
mon consciousness and aim, but which
may or may not succeed In doing so;
and a possibly equally gie.rt number
of non-pioductho poisons living In and
by the social contusion,"
The new society will tend to arrango
Itself in gioups, according to ulms and
moral, mental and physical abilities.
There will bo a new sort of democracy
ihnt of capacity, "The man who will
ho boss," says Mr. Wells, "will be tiro
man who wauls to be boss, who lluds
In helm,' boss a complete und llnnl sat
isfaction, and not the man who com
plicates things by wanting to bo boss
In order to be, or do, something else."
Tho demagogue Is to he gradually elim
inated. "It Is Impossible," in .Mr, Wells'
opinion, "(hat ever again will any
flushed, uiidlguliled man with u vast
voice? a liuifectrlar tnm in Incessant op.
eratlon, collar crumpled, hair disordered
and arms In wild activity, talking, talk
ing, talking copiously out ot the win
dows of uillway carriages, talking on
tall way platforms, talking fiom hotel
balconies, talking on, tubs, barrels, scaf
foldings, pulpits, tireless rind uudam
inuble rl&e to bu the most poweiful
thing In any democratic slate In the
world,"
The new democracy, before It Is sea
soned by expoilonoe, "wilt blunder Into
wur, und the opening stugu ot the next
gieat war will be the catastrophic
bic.ikdown of the format armies, shame
and dNrsleis, ami it dlsonlur uf cou
lllct between moru or lens equally
matched masses of stupefied, scared
nnd Infuriated people." He adds! "War
In the future will he a question ot
prepaiiitlou, ot long yeais of foioslght
mid disciplined Imagination; theie wilt
be no decisive vleloty, but a vast dif
fusion of conflict It wilt depend less
and less on conti oiling pcisunntltles and
dilvlug emotions, and moie and mote
upon Hie Intelligence and personal
quality ot it gieut number of skilled
men."
A conlllct of tongues, out of which
will be evolved three great world-tun-gtiages,
one based upon the Kngllsh,
another on the French and the third
on an Oilontal Idiom, perhaps the Chi
nese or the Japanese, will follow" the
present age. The larger synthesis of
the nations will deteuuine the tespeet-
lvu domains of these languages. Mr.
Wells expects the centre of the Anglo
Saxon synthesis to he in the eastetn
part of the United States of America.
Ills most tadical opinions arc those
that concern tho ethics of tho tvvenly
lltst centuiy. Ho believes there will ho
conceited means "to chock the piocreo.
tlon of base and spivilc typos, of fear
service and cowardly souls, of all that
Is mean and ugly aud beastly In the
souls, bodies nnd habits of men. The
new ethics will hold life to bo :i privi
lege and a responsibility, not u sort ot
lcfuge for base spirits out of the void."
A portion of the population "will exist
only on sufferance and on the under
standing that they do not propagate."
He does not see any reason to suppose
that the men ot the- new republic a
federation of all the states of the world
--will hesitate to kill when that suffer
ance is abused, The present matrlage
i elation, he believes, Is likely to give
place to a more clastic, more easily ad
justable arrangement. Even inter
changeable polygamy he does not con
sider to he wholly out of the question.
"The coming men," he says, "will stifle
no spread of knowledge that will dim
inish the swarming misery of childhood
in the slums; they will regaid the dis
inclination of tho witless 'society' wo
man to become ti mother us a most ami
able trait in her folly. The state will
be the leserve guatdian of all children.
The first liability of a paient will be to
his child, and for his child."
As to the infeilor races of the earth,
the "dirty-white," led, yellow, black
and btovvn, his tlieoty Is that they must
'go." "So far as they fall to develop
sane, vigotous and distinctive person
alities for- the great world of the future,
it is their portion to tile out and dis
appear." To the gtand law of the sur
vival of the fittet and the elimination
of the unfit there are to be no per
manent exceptions. It is cei tainly a
logical forecast.
