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.

Judge IMtteiihocfer Thinks It Will Extend to the Legal Profession—Joseph Howard, Jr., Expects No Radical Change in Jour nalism — Senator Voorliees' Prophecy. ! The Future of Inland Navigation. [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. A. DIXTENIIOEFER. 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*."
