When you thrust me with about twenty
sharp interrogation point 9 about what will
be the condition of the world a hundred
years from now, I must first say that there
is a possibility that the world by that time
may be a heap of ashes or knocked to flin
ders. All geologists agree in saying that
the world is already on lire inside. All that
Chicago saw of her big lire some twenty (
years ago was not a spark compared with !
the conflagration now raging in the hulk of |
this old ship of a world. And then the
earthquakes—witness Charleston and San I
Francisco and Java. And then the comets
shooting recklessly about, and the big
chunks from other worlds falling in Kansas
and lowa or picked up by the British mu
seum on the other side of the sen.
The fact is that our world needs to take '
out a policy in some astronomical fire in
suranee or accident insurance company. I
From the way the world goes on it
is certain something is the matter with
it. The volcanoes are merely the regur
gitation caused by internal cramps. I
am not. apprehensive about the world, and
1 sleep well nights, and 1 do not want to
frighten nervous people, but considering
what is going on down in the depths of the
earth and what is flying all about us 1 am
surprised the world has not long ago gone
out of business. But suppose it lasts—and
] hope it will, for it is a grand old world
and worth saving—what, then, will be its
condition in 1998?
In medicine? Well, cancer and con
sumption will be as easily cured as influen
za or a "run round."
Theology? Far more religion than now.
The technicalities nothing. The spirit of
religion dominant. Minister's war hatchet
buried beside Modoc's tomahawk.
Condition of capital and labor? At peace
by the prevalence of the golden rule, which
enjoins us to do to others as we would
have them do to us.
Treatment of criminals? Prisons will have
ventilation and sunlight and bathroom
and librariesand Christian influences which
will be reformatory instead of damnatory.
Educational methods? The stuffing ma
chine which we call the school system,
which is making the rising generation a
race of invalids, will be substituted by
something more reasonable. No more school
girls with spectacles at fourteen, their eyes
having been extinguished by overstudy, (
with overwrought brain, and no more boys
in their dying dream trying to recite somo- 1
thing in higher mathematics.
What American now living will be the
most honored in 1998? By that time lon- '
gevity will be so improved that 150 years
will be no unusual age to reach.
So I answer your last question as to what
American now living will be most honored
In 1993 by saying that American now sleeps
in the cradle on the banks of the Hudson, j
or the Alabama, or the Oregon, or the Ohio,
a rattle in hand, gum swollen with a new
tooth, aud will soon undertake a course of
measles and mumps. But he will pull
through and advance until i see him in
3998 presiding at a banouet, and as he
rises to speak 1 hear him sayr "Gentlemen, j
i was born in the latter part of the Nine
teenth century, and hero we are in the lat
ter part of the Twentieth, and the world
has been improving uil the time, and I now
offer the toast for the evening. Charge

in the Twenty-first century be as happy
and prosperous as in the Nineteenth and
Twentieth centuries!"
T. DE WITT TALMAGE. '
W. R. Grace Foresees Wonderful Com
mercial Developments.
I look for very great changes, all of them
in the direction of business prosperity in
American commercial development in the
next century. 1 expect to see a great mer
chant marine, although I am one of those
who believe that this cannot be procured
by us until there are changes in our navi
gation laws. The substitution of iron and
steel for wood and of steam for sail power,
which has been going on with great
rapidity in the past twenty years, accounts,
1 think, for the decadence in American
shipping partly, and if Congress shall so
legislate that Americans can compete with
foreign shipowners there is likely to he a
revival of American shipping interest and
Bhipbuildiug and the development of a
race of American sailors like those of
former times, who were as fine sailors as
trod the decks, and who were at the same
time really distinguished from ail other
seamen by their business ability.
The development of the great west, and
especially of the south and southwest, will,
1 think, be as prodigious in the early part
of the coming century as has been that of
the states of the Ohio valley under the in
fluence of railway construction. I am in
clined to think that the American farmer
must either find new wheat lands by a well
considered and elaborate general system of
irrigation or special methods of cultivation,
or else the American people will be com
pelled in the next century to import in
stead of export wheat. On the other hand,
the active men of the Twentieth century
are going to see a magnificent development
of corn and other cereals in the fertile lands
of the great southwest, and American
genius is going to Bhow Europe how nutri
tive and desirable American corn is for
food purposes when it Is properly cooked.
For that reason we shall probably find that
our exports of corn will more than make
up for the falling off in the exports of
wheat.
But I think that one of the greatest com
mercial developments is going to l>e, so far
u the United States is concerned, in the
relations between this country and those of
the South American continent. The Andes
mountains are already surmounted by a
railroad which is going to open up that
Aiagniflcent plateau, or montana, which
stretches to the eastward from the Andes.
As fine a cotton country as is in the world
is there, and with the opening of this rail
road a particularly fine grade of cotton will
be developed. There are millions of acres
suitah for tobacco culture, and higher up
there is a wheat belt of virgin soil almost
as large as is the great wheat belt of the
United States. Besides, there are the great
silver mines of the Cerro de Pasco, known
even from tjbe time of the Incas, which his
tory baa so many romances about, and by
record for taxation have produced since the
conquest over $420,000,000.
Now men are living who will see this
enormous country brought under develop
ment. It will bring the South American
countries into closer relation with the
United States. There of course will be
competition, but competition of this sort
ought not to be unhealthy, and I presume
that in the next century there may be built
a railway reaching so far that it may be
possible to enter a palace car in New York
city and to ride in it to Lima, Santiago,
Rio Janiero or Buenos Ayres. Now rail
road development will do for South Aineri
ca what it lias done for the United States,
and the activity of our commerce will bring .
the United States into very close alliance
with the southern continent and cause a j
development of commercial relations the |
consequence of which cannot be realized
today. The Twentieth century is going to
be a great era for South America, and that
continent cannot flourish without benefit
ing the United States.
I am one of those who believe that the
commercial and manufacturing develop
ment of this country during the Twentieth !
century will be such that the genius of the I
American people will make it perfectly j
possible for this country to compete sue- !
cessfully with all the great manufacturing j
centers of Europe in a great majority of the
classes of goods that are now being mar- 1
keted by England, France and Germany,
not only in South America but in all the
great centers of commerce throughout the
world. W. IL GRACE.
Mr. Powderly'a Prediction.
Three millions celebrated in 1792, 63,000,-
000 in ISM, and 800.000,000 will in 1008 cele
brate the landing of Columbus. They will j
be educated and refined, for the arts and ;
sciences will be taught in the public schoola j
Not only will the mind of the pupil be
tralued, but the hand as well, and each
child will be instructed in the manual of j
tools; they will be instructed in the func
tions of every part of the human system;
"man, know thyself" will have a meaning
in 1993. The economic and social questions ,
of the day will also be taught in the schools; j
there will be no uneducated persons to act
as drags on the car of progress.
The form of government will be simpler; 1
; the initiative and referendum will prevail, !
and lawmakers will not be the autocrats 1
: they now are, for they will truly register
the will of the people; they will not dictate
to them as at present. The commonwealth
will be organized on industrial lines; lubor
organizations will have disappeared, for j
there will be no longer a necessity for their
existence. An ideal democracy will stand
upon the foundations we of 1b93 are erect
ing.
Railroads, water courses, telegraphs, tele
phones, pneumatic tubes and all other meth
ods of transporting passengers, freight and
intelligence will be owned and operated by j
the government. The earnings of these
agencies will swell the public treasury. .
Homes will flourish, for they will no longer !
be taxed. Instead of devoting so much
time and money to the erecting of great
public structures, as at present, the erec
tion and adornment of the home will re
ceive first consideration.
Each home will be regarded as a contri
bution to the wealth and beauty of the nar
tion; the earnings of public concerns will j
defray the cost of maintaining streets, sew- i
ers, waterworks and light and heat giving
establishments. Cremation will take the
place of the present system of burying the 1
dead; the living will be healthier, for the 1
earth will not be poisoned through inter
ment of infection. The contents of sewers
will not flow into river and stream to send
deadly vapors through the air, but will be
utilized to enrich the harvest yielding earth. 1
The progress of the lower grades of ani- ,
mal life has been skillfully guided and
hastened until we may now assert that cat
tle and fowl are approaching perfection. In i
1993 the same attention will be bestowed on j
the human race, and, instead of rushing
blindly forward, increasing and multiply
ing at haphazard, humanity will knowing
ly and intelligently advance to higher alti
tudes. There will bo no very rich or very
poor, for long before 1993 dawns upon the
world the industrialists will have learned
that the raising of large families is but
another way to create slaves to perform f he
drudgery of the wealthy, and the family
will be restricted to the capacity of the par
ents to maintain aud educate.
Under such conditions prisons and poor
houses will decline, aud divorces will not
be considered necessary. The system which
makes criminals of men and women and 1
j at the same time makes millionaires of 1
others will have disappeared. Asa conse- j
| quence the confinement and punishment
of criminals will occupy but little of the
thought or time of the men of 1993.
T. V. POWDEItLY.
From an Editor of The Twentieth Century.
1 find that I am unable to prophesy. The
future is a fancy land palace whose portals
1 cannot enter. Moving toward it from
I the Here I am charmed with its brilliant
facade. What sculptured splendors—por
ticoes, pillars, statues, windowsl What is
within? But as I advance the airy struc
ture recedes. 1 cannot push beyond its
threshold; its doors never open; on their
other side are silence and mystery. I know
not what is there.
Today I was reading the prophecies of
Babeuf. He was a French revolutionary,
a coworker of Robespierre and Condorcet.
I In 1792, possessed of fundamental sociologic
truths, and inspired by the political prog
ress of the times, he foretold for 1892 the
i abolition of rank, of poverty, of social in
justice. He saw clearly the relation of
: land to labor and the manifold benefits of
j co-operation. He expected all the world
soon to see what he did. So he described a
' dreamer's 1892, but we beheld the 1892 of
fact.
I Yet let us listen to today's visionaries
and dreamers. They are pleasing fellows.
There's imaginative John Wanamaker.
He foresees a one cent letter for all the
: postal union; a free mail delivery in every
country district; a short hour day for post
office employees; a cheap national telo
graph and telephone service.
The poet of a pure democracy, Dana, pre
dicts legislation by all the citizens in every
political body corporate, lie fancies that
all the electors in the United States may
vote directly—yea or nay—on the tariff, on
silver coinage, on a national banking sys
tem, on restriction of immigration. From
1 New England and Swiss experiences he In
fers real democracy the best policy, even
for the whole Union.
Another bold theorist is C. P. Hunting
ton. He assures us of wondrous millions
to bo saved in railroad consolidation. What,
then, if all our trunk railroads were under
a single management?
President McLeod, of Reading, is out
with a financial suggestion. The consumer
of coal, ho says, will be benefited if the
great coal operator, Mr. McLeod's railroad,
performs the complete work of producing
coal, from digging it to delivering it in the
consumer's cellar. The plan abolishes re
tail agents, reduces the working force oth
erwise and permits of one general superin
j tendency.
Those audacious revolutionists. Armour
' and Rockefeller, have actually evinced
glimmerings of practicabilityl From cen
tral headquarters they control vast organ
ized systems of meat and oil distribution.
Shall our people ever again go back to
petty local methods? Neverl These busi
nesses are now adjusted to a national scale.
Many enthusiasts are at work in lesser
circles of social reform. DeVoe. for twen
ty years superintendent of New York's
markets, wrote a book to show that a pub
lic market in each ward would reduco the
price of country produce to the household
er by 20 per cent, or so. The department
store proprietors are forever entertaining
wilder schemes to be applied in cheapening
| shop goods. The unconservative street
j railroad system, with its cables and trol
leys, has brought the average cost of the
passenger's ride (to the syndicate) down to
I two cents.
Ah, if the great public would take to
dreaming with these dreamers, planning
for itself as they do for themselves, and
taking up with their ways of doing busi
ness, how rich and happy it might be in
19931 J. W. SULLIVAN.
( Manager Palmer on the American Drama.
[From Our New York Correspondent.]
Mr. A. M. Palmer, who is generally es
I teemed the ablest of the men identified
i with the drama and is also a man of great
. cultivation and most artistic sense, in
speaking of the future of the drama in this
j country, said;
! I presume that the Americans will create
a drama as artistic, as perfect and of as
j great an influenco as that which has char
| notorized the national drama of France,
j The indications ull point that way. Hith
erto we have had almost no distinctively
American drama. We have had artists,
; some of whom are quite as impressive and
j talented as some of those who have made
| the fame of the French stage. I do not
need to mention them; every one knows
I who they are.
We have learned already how to mount
a play, how to give it all those accessories
which combine to furnish the perfect rep
resentation, and yet, after all, we have
j been compelled to depend, if not entirely
j upon the greater dramatists of Europe, at
j least upon the methods and the sugges
tions indicated by the work of those who
are esteemed the greater dramatists.
! Until recently I may say that we have
' had no distinctively American play. Some
of the American dramatists have written
, plays which have been great successes and
are models of dramatic workmanship, and
, yet, after all, these plays have been written
j and constructed in imitation of the best
European examples. By an American play
I mean, of course, a play perfectly con
j structed, whose dialogue while natural is
j yet suitable for the stage, but whose mo
| tive is essentially American. An American
play should depict American life; it should
breathe the atmosphere of the United
j States, or at least that section of the United
States which it paints,
j Human nature is undoubtedly the same
! in all countries and in all ages, but the
manifestations or developments of it have
the flavor of locality, and it is the art of
| the playwright while setting forth human
nature to set it forth so that while its truth
is recognized its environment is also sug
, gested faithfully. That is what the com
ing American playwright must do and, I
I believe, will do. American life furnishes
i every material for the perfect drama, the
exquisite pure comedy or the more amus
ing and yet not necessarily less faithful
j low comedy. Recently we have had one
or two plays of this kind. The teudcucy of
today unquestionably is for amusement,
and that broad amusement which evokes j
i hearty laughter.
j It is quite likely that in the next century
the demand may be for higher ideals than
j this, and when the demand comes I have I
no doubt that the American playwright
will be found who will meet it. In the
Twentieth century the American drama |
I ought to runk with those of the golden
days of the drama of the Old World.
lilla Wlieeler Wilcox Forecasts the Future.
In 1993 the government will have grown
more simple, as true greatness tends always
toward simplicity. Railrouds and tele
graphs will belong to the state, thus lessen
ing the dangerous power of lurge monopo
lies and vast corporations. Otherwise 'n
less than a century our boasted American
freedom would cease to exist, since it is al
ready menaced.
In temperance the world ere then will
1 have realized the folly of trying to legislate
I upon appetites. It will realize the neces
, slty of educating them, and that to educate
i them we must begin with parents. People
j who refuse to be taught on this and kin
dred subjects must be prevented from be
coming parents. In this way only can
drunkenness be lessened.
The same humane law will by that time
extend to criminals—they will be prevented
from propagating their kind. This will
take the place of capital punishment, aud
after a few generations will do away with
crime, because no criminals will be born.
The whole vast west will be irrigated and
fertilized, furnishing food for all our popu
lation. Architecture will have reached a
much higher state, but will not in 500 years
attain to the perfection found in countries
thousands of years old probably. Airships
will facilitate travel, and the pneumatic
tube will be the means of transporting
goods.
America will produce the greatest au
thors who shall be living in 1993. In music
al achievement it will still be behind oldor
countries.
The occult sixth sense will bo the pre
dominant elements in medicine and theolo
gy. Mesmerism will take the place of an
a'sthetics in surgery; theosophy—the reli
gion of high thinking and selfless living—
will take the place of creeds and dogmas;
clairvoyancy or spiritual insight will be al
most universal. Woman will be financially
i independent of man, and this will material-
ly lessen crime. No longer obliged to rifle her
husband's pockets for money, she will not
give birth to kleptomaniacs or thieves. Men
will learn the importance of proper pre
natal conditions, and children will be reared
with the same cure now given to colts,
calves and dogs.
The government will establish colleges
for the training of servants, and architects
will consider the comfort and health of do
mestics in constructing homes, instead of
ignoring them, as at present. Better in
structed, better paid, better cared for and
more plentiful, the servant of the next
century will be more useful, better con
tent and more respectful and respected.
If our men keep pace with our women in
athletic development and in clean morals,
the race will be larger and handsomer.
Otherwise we shall produce splendid araa
sons and pygmy men.
Chicago will be our greatest city because
she knows she is not and desires to be
and has the energy and zeal to become so.
Each of our other large cities thinks she is
already the greatest and will make no pro
nounced effort to be greater. All permanent
' greatness means eternal endeavor.
If any man now living solves the great
question of the true relation of capital "nd
labor, to him will 1992 accord the honor of
the greatest man. Next to him stands
Edison.
ELLA WHEEL*# WILCOX.
A MEBICA 1993 ?
Since Columbus discovered tlie New World there has not been
in any country such rapid progress in wealth and material devel
opment as in the United States during the past forty years,
there has also been notable evolution of ideas looking to social
reforms. The thought of this wonderful growth, just as we are
preparing to take its measure by the biggest exposition the world
has ever seen, naturally leads to the query:
What Will America Be
in 1993?
That is the question that has been propounded to some of the
most prominent men and women of the time, and their answers, '
prepared with thoughtful care, have been arranged for simulta
neous publication in a few leading newspapers, in a series of
weekly installments.
A Many-Sided Discussion.
That there might be as wide diversity of treatment as possi
ble, the following subdivisions of the main question were present
ed to the writers selected, with the suggestion that their replies
be confined to such portions as they were, by reason of previous
bought and research, best qualified to treat:
What will be the political and social condition of the United States and of the
world in 1993 V
Will the government jr row simpler or more complex?
Is it likely that the railroads and telegraphs will be owned or managed by the
state?
t\ hat changes may be anticipated in our monetary system?
In temperance legislation?
In the confinement or punishment of criminals?
In divorce laws?
Will the tendency toward the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few in
crease or diminish, in the next century?
\\ hat is the future of great corporations and vast business aggregations?
Is the condition of the laboring classes likely to become more or less dependent?
Will our soil and methods of agriculture improve, so as to provide food, without
difficulty, for all our population in 1993?
What changes will take place in law, medicine and theology?
In American literature?
In music and the drama?
In educational methods?
In dress?
In the architecture, sanitary arrangements and transportation methods of great
cities?
In the political and social Btalus of woman?
What is the future of the "servant problem"?
What improvements, inventions and discoveries do you look for in mechanics, the
industrial arts, modes of travel, or anything else?
Will the race he handsomer, healthier or happier than it is now?
Where will be our greatest city?
What American now living will be the most honored in 1993?
