FREELAND, PA., APRIL 6, 1893.
Secretary Hoke Smith's first land
decision was against the Southern
Pacific Railroad's right to a large
tract of land which it was claimed
and kept from being opened to set
tlement. This decision not only
opens this land to settlement, but it
is a refutation of the silly Republican
charge that it was corporation in
fluences which put Secretary hmith
into the cabinet.
The successful demonstration of
the telautograph, which reproduces at
any distance the exact signature of
the person at the other end of the
wire, is another illustration of the
wonderful possibilities of electricity.
It is said that every letter and line is
formed at the end of the wire "exactly
at the moment when the writer forms
the original and is identical with it in
every curve and shade." It really
seems as if the list of wonders that
can be accomplished by electricty is
exhaustible.
A cable dispatch, says the Philadel
phia Record, announces that fifty
beautiful women are coming to the
Pair as Europe's "ethnological ex
Libit." On this side of the water
such an aggregation would be called
a beauty show, but the transatlantic
phrase has a certain philosophic
glamour that will probably preserve
the high born pride of the ethnologist.
The fifty fair aliens, whether
"professional beauties" or society
amateurs, will manifestly constitute
an important feature of the fair, and
one of the most probable effects of
their visit on the male population of
the West will be a series of aggravat
ed heart troubles.
One of the most essential qualities
of a successful farmer is economy.
J. Sterling Morton, the new secretary
of agriculture, appreciates the princi
ple and is applying it to his depart
ment. In the bureau of animal
industry alone he has dispensed with |
the services of a sufficient number of j
persons to reduce its expenses §125,-1
o'o per annum. He found that a
number of doctors had been drawing i
salaries of $1,200 per annum for
stamping out pleuro pneumonia long
after the disease had entirely disap
peared. There wore mauy women
employed who had secured positions
through the inlluonce of congressmen
but have rendered little or no service.
The secretary has suppressed his
spirit of gallantry and struck their
names from the pay rolls.'— World.
A bill is before the Pennsylvania
legislature providing that all judg
ments shall bo entered on record.
The practice of giving secret judgment
notes and of permitting concealed
judgments is demoralizing to business,
and is often used to the loss of the
creditor, who is thus misled, as to the
standing of his customer, into giving
a credit that would be withheld were
the truth made known. The Phila
delphia and Pittsburg boards of trade
and other commercial bodies are
advocating the passage of this bill,
and its enactment, the Phila. Ledger
thinks, would be a measure of simple
justice to the merchants and business
men in all branches of industry by
preventing robbing through concealed
snap judgments constantly being
resorted to, with the result of de-1
frauding honest creditors.
A number of G. O. P. newspapers
are shocked at the election of Roach,
of Dakota, to the United States
senate, because fifteen years ago he
was a hank defauller at Washington,
for which, however, he was never
prosecuted or formally accused by
those directly interested. No doubt
it would be better if all who are
elected to public office were of clean
record during all their lives. Yet, it
does happen, that even notorious
criminals in early life do reform and
become honorable, useful citizens, and \
such are entitled to a full measure of
respect, not for their sins of the past,
but for their well doing of the present.
The real difference between the Re
publicans and Democrats seems to bo
that the former do not hesitate to
honor, promote and reward existing
criminals, whilst the latter only
recognize the familiar, old fashioned
Ohristinn maxim, ttiat even the "vilest
sinner may return" and deserve to be
forgiven. — 3faitch Chunk Democrat.

[Copyright, 1893, by American Press Associa
tion.]
In response to an interviewer President
Cleveland once said: "Oh, you saw that in
such and such a newspaper. You might
have known it wasn't true."
On the same day Thomas Byrnes, super
intendent of polico in New York city, re
plying to a question, said: "You might have
known that wasn't true. You saw it in
the newspapers. Whenever you see any
thing published about me or my affairs you
may take it for granted it is untrue."
As a praet k*ni newspaper writer I natural
ly regard with intensest interest every phase
of journalism, good and bad. Contemplating
possible changes In this greatest of profes
sions made between now and 1993, I natu
rally exafnine the data at hand in order
that 1 may intelligently attempt a fore
cast. Some little time since an esteemed
coworker in the realm of art, William J.
LeMoyne, sent me two finy volumes writ
ten by Samuel Patterson in 1753 and pub
lished for him by Joseph Johnson in 1772.
They are called "Joineriana, or the Book of
Scraps," a series of interesting essays on
divers topics, one of which is entitled
"News and News Writers."
If Brother Patterson's photograph of the
newspapers a hundred years ago is at all
accurate, the one and only change in the
line of improvement which distinguishes
the newspaper press of 1892 from those of a
century earlier is in the advanced mechan
ical facilities at the service of publishers.
They then worked the humble and awk
ward hand press.
Today we have mechanisms so marvel
ous in their ingenious complication uad so
simple withal that the ordinary mind stands
confused by the output and embarrassed in
its vain endeavor to comprehend the why
and the wherefore. It must be remem
bered that of every 100,000 readers at least
W.OOO never saw a modern printing press at
work.
The grandeur of a pressroom is beyond
compare. All is quiet. The electric light
brightens the subterranean vaults as though
the midday sun in all its glory was efful
gent there; huge rolls of paper, miles in ex
tent, are fastened in their place, and the
stereotyped plates wait patiently to begin
their work of devouring, digesting and
springing forth for the healing of the na
tions. With the word the machinery starts,
and with the rapidity of the lightning's
flight the wheels merrily turn, and within
the hour that roll of paper, miles in length,
has poured into the funnel and over the cyl
inder and rests now a mighty pile of eight,
ten, twenty, forty paged papers, neatly, ac
curately printed on both sides, folded with
mathematical precision, pasted and ready
for delivery.
The sight's almost uncanny.
And it lias seemed to me at times when '
looking over the rail I could almost bear
these mighty monsters whispering to each
other, for they do everything but read.
All this is new.
But a brief reference to the pages of "Join
eriana" convinces me that nothing else is
changed. "Students," says the writer, "of
j every class may now burn their books, like
so much useless lumber, and circumscribe
their studies hereafter to the newspaper
productions of the press." Even the names
of today were anticipated. Gazette, Jour
' nal, Ledger, Mercury, Courant, Chronicle
! and the like are among them.
According to the writer, fifty years or
seventy years before his time "news writers
or sober journalists were mere abstractors
and brief chroniclers of the time," but
when this was written the author says,
"We commonly discover liim a curious im
pertinent, watching the heels of the great,
more intent upon their motions than their
measures, giving the earliest notice when
his lordship stele out of town, and also
when her ladyship was happily delivered to
the great joy of that noble family"
Obviously newspapers of the then and
i newspapers of the now are as like as two
. pens in a single pod.
"Newspapers," continues our author, "as
they have been carried on of late years are
a stauding reproach to the nation. Every
species of guilt, every mode of extrava
gance, every method of gambling and every
possible way of subverting order and set
ting the laws at defiance are daily inti
mated, comforted and propagated by our
news writers."
Just so here.
Within the past ten years there has
grown a habit in some of our most influen
tial journals of private prosecution which
has developed into individual persecution
of the most inhuman type. We have ofli
• cers of the law whose duty it is to detect
> crime, arrest, try and nunish criminals,
' but certain newspapers, instigated thereto
by hope of gain, have taken it upon them
selves to ferret out every particle of evi-
I dence and to make it impossible for an ac
• cased man to have a fair chance in a mod
ern court of justice. Judges are brow
beaten, lawyers are intimidated and jurors
find their footsteps dogged by spacework
scribblers and the literal sanctity of their
. own domesticity intruded upon and spied
upon by sneak reporters.
Was it so then}'
Read and ponder. Says the author:
"Errors in conduct were condemned
formerly as now, hut tho delinquent was
not left hopeless. His future virtues might
repair his past indiscretions. At x>resent
the error, magnified and tortured by mis
representation, is irreparable. He is held
up in scorn and derision. Those that go by
shake their heads and make mouths at
him. A paper without murders and rob
beries and rapes and incest and bestiality
and sodomy and sacrilege and incendiary
letters anil forgeries and executions and
duels and suicides is said to bo void of
news. Newspapers are no longer what
they were originally intended to be,
chronicles of events, but firebrands which
it behooves every honest man to quench."
And so on and on and on.
In other words, I find absolutely no data
outside of the composing room, the stereo
type room and the pressroom on which to
formulate any forecast whatever. It's a
somewhat remarkable fact that human na
ture lias never changed. The first family,
so far as recorded history shows, exhibited
in the garden of Eden every passion known
to the present race. Love, hate, jealousy,
cruelty, murder, envy, curiosity, disobedi
ence characterized the ongoing of Adam
and Eve, Cain, Abel and the rest. Wo wear
a different style of garment externally, but
the heart remains the same. Journalism
in Its earlier period, in its Edenlc state, was
precisely as it is today, so far ns material j
goes, so far as it sought to influence man- |
kind is concerned, differing only in its ex- |
ternalities, Hs paper, its type, its press- i
work and the machinery by which this mag- ;
uificent transformation has been effected, j
This is an age of electricity.
It is not too much to predict that ere an- i
other decade has past electricity will be the j
prime motor directing the great mechan- |
isms of the world. Twenty years ago a I
4-cylinder press was a marvel. Look at
the wonderful instruments at the beck and |
call of capital today, and as in a quarter of
century these marvelous improvements !
have been effected, so wonderful indeed as ;
to afford no possible basis of contrast or j
comparison with the facilities at the hand
of our brothers of a hundred years ago, so ;
in this restless time, when years are '
crowded into months and months into days,
when every nerve is strained and every '
muscle swells that the wild rush for j
wealth and power may be maintained, it is
not unreasonable to predict still greater |
changes in the physical complements of a
well furnished daily newspaper establish- j
meat.
But the rest?
Ah, the rest remains with him who for j
liis own wise purpose started and has car- !
ried along with infinite mercy and wonder- j
ful forbearance this extraordinary race of ;
mankind. So long as men are built as
they are today mentally, morally and !
physically human nature cannot change, ;
anil until human nature changes the out- j
work, the output, cannot be expected to
alter. Would you expect to pluck figs !
from thistles or find the juicy grape on the |
bending boughs of a royal oak? Our mental I
equipments are as they ure, steered in ;
every human individual by passions di- I
vinely implanted and divinely permitted if
not divinely encouraged.
Changes in journalism?
I fail to see the sign.
How is it with thee, my brother?
JOSEPH HOWARD, JR.
Rafael Josefl'y on Musical Development.
[From Our New York Correspondent.]
Rafael Joseffy is regarded by musicians
as the greatest pianist now living in Amer
ica and one of the greatest the world has
ever seen. Mr. Joseffy has been in poor
health for a year or two, so that he has been
unable to appear in public concerts. In
speaking of the future of musical develop
ment he said:
I do not believe that in tho next century
any greater pianists will be heard than i
some of those who have lived in the Nine
teenth century. It would be impossible to
master that noble instrument to any great
er extent than some of the men who have
gained immortality by such achievement
have done. The Nineteenth century has
been the era of the triumph of the piano.
But it is wholly possible that there may
come mechanical improvements which will
make it possible to exceed the victories of
some of the great pianists of t his era. Every
body knows that if it were possible to secure
a greater division of the scale than is now ob
tained upon pianos there might be some as
touishing and delightful triumphs. But
such a discovery would revolutionize music.
The mechanical improvements in the piano
have already been wonderful. Every pi
anist, however, has at times realized some of
the still unconquerable mechanical difficul
ties of the instrument, and perhaps the
greater triumphs of the greater pianists
have been the overcoming of these difficul
ties.
The future of music in the United States
is assured. It is going to be a great music
loving nation, as it even is today, but it is
I to be an appreciative and understanding
love. I shall not be at all surprised if in
the next century the United Stutes stunds
in tho same relation to music which Ger
many has had for the past 200 years. There
will be great composers, great artists, great
singers, who will receive a most generous
support from the people.
Even in my own experience the strides of
musical development have been prodigious
lu this country. If they keep on it will be
a nation in which exquisite melody and
glorious harmony will express the artistic
truth that is in music to a people capable
of comprehending it. Yes, I think that the
United States in the next century will be
tho greatest music loving and music pro
ducing nation on earth.
Judge Dittenlioefer on Changes In the
Legal Profession.
In my opinion there are to be witnessed
in tho next century some very striking
changes in the relation of the legal profes
sion to its clients and to some extent in the
practice of law. Since I have been at the
liar I have noticed the growth of tho tend
ency to divide the practice of law into
specialties. It is not so very long ago that
every lawyer accepted all sorts of practice.
There of course always have been lawyers
who have been known and identified as
criminal lawyers as distinguished from
practitioners who have confined their prac
tice to tho civil branches of the law.
I do not refer, however, to that kind of
specialty practice. What I mean is that I
think early in tho next century it will be
found that pretty generally throughout the
United States lawyers will, by speciul study
in one or another of the branches of civil
law, attract to their offices only that sort of
practice involved in the branch of which
they have mode a study. They will become
specialists. This is now true to some ex
tent of lawyers in New York city and some
of the other great cities of the land.
Now this segregation, so to speak, is
bound to continue more and more, so that
in the next century I suspect that what wo
now know as an all around lawyer will be
a very rara avis.
There is another thing which is going to
have an enormous influence in changing
the methods of the bar of this country. Tho
facility of communication between the rural
sections and the larger cities is probably
going to be so greatly increased that in tho
uext century almost every community or
town will be within speaking distance of
the greater cities.
Distances will be obliterated, and I sus
pect as a result the old fushioned country
lawyer, the man who has done everything
from drawing a deed and a will to defend
ing a criminal in tho local courts, will be
come very largely a tradition. Facility of
communication will take those who have
legal business to tho cities, and for that
reason I expect to see the number of law
yers in tho cities proportionately greater
than Is now the case, while tho number of
country lawyers will bo proportionately
less. There will in fact be no country law
yers.
I do not think that the rewards which
the ablest practitioners in the uext century
will gain will be any larger than have been
some of those earned in the past thirty
years. As tho number of specialists, and
able specialists, too, in the practice of luw
increases, necessarily the business which
has been in my time, for instance, obtained
by the few great specialists will be consid
erably divided up. There will lie more able
specialists—a great many more than there
are today.
For that reason there will not bo so many
examples of prodigious individual eam
lugs, but I suspect that the lads of today
who will be ready to practice law through
out the first half of the next century will
average more earnings than the samo num
ber of lads who began t lie practice of law,
say, thirty odd years ago, and I am inclined
to think that the achievements of the bar
of the Twentieth century will probably ex
ceed, on the whole, in brilliancy those of the
bar of the Nineteenth. There are some
great questions coming up which wo now
only vaguely perceive, and these will be
determined very largely through tin- influ
ence of the bar, just as the constitutional
questions of the present century have been
settled by the American bar.

The Production of Gems in the United
States.
[From Our New York Correspondent.]
Mr. George F. Kunz, who is regarded as
perhaps the best authority in America on
precious stones, and whose familiarity with
the gems of the United States and the gem
mines is unexcelled, said in reference to the
production of gems in this country: "I am
inclined to think that the opal mines of the
state of Washington and the turquoise
mines in New Mexico are going to produce
geins equal to the opals found in the Ural
mountains and to the turquoise of Persia.
Already they have taken from the New
Mexican mines a turquoise which is as fine
us anything that Persian mines have
yielded, and some of the opals from Wash
ington are certainly very beautiful gems.
"But I in the near future that we
are going to pee a wonderful development
in the use of jewels in American churches.
The tendency has already set in that direc
tion. In one of the churches of ..the west
there are jewels used by the priest in bis
offices worth many thousands of dollars.
The bishop of Long Island, the bishop of
Springfield, have received costly jewels
which they wear in performing their of
fices, and in two of the churches in New
York there are adornments of precious
stones which represent a great deal of
money.
"My impression is that in the next cen
tury it will be found that in many of the
churches in the United States jewels of
rare beauty and great cost will serve the
priests for the greater adornment of their
chancels and their vestments. We shall, I
think, equal if not exceed the use of jewels
as an accessory for the priestly offices which
has characterized some of the churches of
the European continent. Precious stones,
beautiful marbles, will more and more bo
utilized for impressive religious ceremony."
Senator Youi-liec* Think* We lluvc Reached
the Golden Mean.
[From Our Washington Correspondent.]
"In my judgment," said Senator Voor
hees, of Indiana, "the next 100 years will
show but slight changes in the form of
our government. A century hence I
should expect to see, were I upon earth,
the American republic governed very much
as it is at the present day. Some minor
changes are altogether probable. Among
these I should think quite likely a limit of
the presidential term to six years and no
re-election and a change in the manner of
choosing the president and vice president.
But these are subsidiary merely and will
not aiTect the structure of our government.
"I take it that the American people de
cided at the recent election against any
further centralization of power in this coun
try. For instance, I believe they have de
cided there shall be no federal control of
elections within the states. This decision,
if I am right in assuming the election
means that, has greater significance than
most people attach to it.
"The significance is that the limits of our
federal powers are now pretty well defined;
that the people do not wish them to be
either circumscribed or greatly enlarged.
For this reason I believe the government
will go through another century substan
tially as it is at the present day. We ap
parently have reached that golden mean
between two possible extremes, and to rae
the lesson of the election is that the people
will jealously watch every effort made to
shift the balance in one direction or the
other.
"A hundred years hence this country will
probably have a system of customs taxa
tion that will approximate as closely to
free trade as anything which the world
now knows. I believe we shall always
hnvc custom houses and that there will al
ways bo tariffs for them to collect. But a
century hence I should be very much sur
prised to return to earth and find such a
system of taxation as we now have. We
shall approach our ultimate approximation
to free trade very slowly and cautiously and
in such manner as to cause no violent injus
tice to any interest.
"Within the life of the man now grown
the changes may be considerable, but they
will not IK) revolutionary. Within the
present generation 1 look to see a consid
erable part of the money needed for our
government raised by means of an income
tax. I believe the day is fast approaching
in which our people will insist upon taxing
the property and the prosperity of the
country—not its necessities."
Commodore Van Santvoord on Inlund
Navigation.
[From Our Now York Correspondent.]
Commodore Abram Van Santvoord is the
heir of Robert Fulton mid is probably the
best informed man on American steam
boating in the United States. He is the
owner of the successor of the original line
of steamboats which Robert Fulton estab
lished. Commodore Van Santvoord said:
"I do not believe that Fulton's invention of
tho paddle wheel will ever be improved for
inland navigat ion. There may bo some im
provements in minor details; but the prin
ciple of the paddle wheel will remain su
preme.
"I am inclined to think, however, that it
may be possible in the next century to go
from New York to Chicago or Duluth, and
possibly from New York to New Orleans,
by inland waterways by steamboat. If a
j ship canal is cut across New York state,
; and it is entirely within the bounds of
probability that thvi will bo done early hi
the next century, and another is cut from
Chicago to the Mississippi, then it will be
possible to make this trip by steamboat.
The probabilities, however, are that navi
gation of this sort will be made by screw
j propellers for the most part rather than by
the side wheel boat.
| "I think the development of an inland
; marine is going to be something prodigious
in the next century. While railroad con
struction was going on as rapidly as has
been the case in the lust thirty years, inland
marine development was checked. It, is now
again attracting the attention of the great
| capitalists. The tonnage through the ship
canal at Sault Ste. Marie has been the great
est in the world, and that canal has been
enlarged only within recent years,
j "We shall find the solution to somo of
; the railway problems in the development
of this inland marine, and if the greater
canals are dug, which capitalists even now
are considering, in tho Twentieth century
those who then live are going to see almost
! as enormous a system of inland merchant
| marine as are the railway systems which
control the great trunk lijiei*."
