FREELAND, PA., APRIL 27, 1893.
The little state of Delaware has set
an example that could with profit be
followed by some of its neighbors,
Pennsylvania for instance. Its legis
lature was asked to appropriate
$5,(100 for the support of the national
guard, and the bill passed the lower
house. The senate, however, did not
give it a single vote, consequently the
measuro failed. Now the guard, which
consists of one regiment, intends
to disband, and the people of Dela
ware don't care a fig how soon it does.
They can very well get along without
toy soldiers, even though the gilt-laced
aristocratic snobs who pose as officers
predict all sorts of dire things to hap
pen. It is a pity that more legisla
tures are not built on the Delaware
plan.
Valley Forge is now likely to be
come, as it ought to become, the
property of the people of Pennsylva
nia, held in trust for the people of the
Lnited States as heritage of free a
government, says an exchange. The
hill providing for its purchase has
been favorably reported in the legis
lature; the project has been generally
approved by the press of the state
and by newspapers in other states;
and it so happenes that there is a lull
treasury. With Valley Forge set
aside and beautified, Pennsylvania
would have set apart within her bor
ders two famous places—one marking
the high-tide of unsuccesful rebellion
at Gettysburg; and the other the
climacteric of patriotic suffering and
and endeavor out of which rebellion
blossomed into successful revolution
and tho subsequent establishment of
the most renowned republic the
world has ever seen.
The TBIBCNE ends today its series
of articles upon "America in 1993.'
The twelve installments, of three
columns each, have been eagerly read
and commented upon, judging from
the many expressions of approval that
have reached this oil ice. The views
and prophecies of tho most promi
nent people in this country upon this
very entertaining subject were bound
to prove of interest to our readers,
and it is a noteworthy fact that all the
writers were nearly positive that the
lepublic will be greater and stronger
in 1993 than in 1893. A number of
those who expressed themselves paid
special attention to the part relating
to capital and labor and kindred
(juestions, and did not fail to predict
that these troublesomo mattors must
be permanently settled before Amer
ica can enter upon that era of pros
perity which is in store for it. How
"vei, even those who harbor the most
pessimistic opinions have acknowl
edged that there is a glorious future
before the country.
ior nearly two weeks the sensa
tionnl writers of Republican papers
have been "spreading" themselves
with much professed indignation over
the order that caused tho American
flag to ho taken down at Hawaii.
Their fury over tho action of Presi
dent Cleveland is simply ridiculous,
and their unsuccessful efforts to make
the people believe that an insult was
offered the ling is on a par with some
of their previous writings of ihese
self styled patriots—men who would
run for their lives, as many of them
did, if the flag was in danger. If the
hinted States has any desire to annex
the islands or take charge of them in
way, let it be done munly and not bj'
coercion. The provisional govern
ment is in power there and deserves
to be treated with as much respect as
the government of any large and pow
erful nation. But our Rupnblican
friends would prefer to see the ad
ministration now in power discuss
these matters with the bull dog tactics
used by Great Britain—coerce them
lirst and then compel Hawaii to sub
imt to any terms that Clans Sprecklos
wishes. Tho establishing of the pro
tectorate by Minister Stevens was an
ill advised act at the outset,. and did
not receive the approval of Americans
who wish to avoid being tangled up
in the affairs of a few leper islands.

Arbor Day.
, It is with pleasure that we give placo
to the following eloquent paragraph from
the proclamation of the governor of
Pennsylvania on Arbor day:
Lot tho peoplo lay asido for a season tile
habitual activity of the day and dovolo suf
ficient time thereof to plant a forest, fruit or
ornamental treo atonic the public highways and
streams, in private and public parks, about tho
public schooihotue. andonlhocollogo grounds.
In gardens and on tho farms, thus promoting
the pleasure, profit and prosperity of tho peoplo
of the state, providing protection against floods
and storms, securing health and comfort, In
creasing that which is beautiful and pleasing
to tho eye, comforting to physical lifo and ele
vating tile mind and heart, and by associations
and meetings excite public interest and givo en
couragement to this most commendable work.
11l the beginning of his proclamation
Governor Pattison alludes to the favor
ablo changes that have nlrcady taken
place in regard to this question since Ar
bor day was instituted as a regular oc
casion for observance in Pennsylvania.
The main change lias been everywhere
in the direction of improved public opin
ion. It began first in the public schools
in all tho states. This was the best pos
sible beginning. The pupils had a holi
day in which to plant trees in school
grounds and parks. The next step was
to plant trees along public highways.
The planting was always accompanied
with pleasant ceremonial observances,
speeches, recitations and music.
From this the next move was to set
befoTo the people tho frightful injury
done their farms by stripping off the
timber, especially near the headwaters
of streams. They were set to thinking
of tlio damage that bad already been
done and of ways in which further dam
age might be checked. Then they began
to set out trees on their private grounds,
both fruit and forest trees. Millions of
trees have thus been planted by the
children of those who cut trees down.
A valuable store of literature has nc-,
cumulated on arboriculture. There are
now books in plenty that show what
trees are best adapted to given soils, also
what trees will bo most profitable in the
commercial way,both for nuts and wood.
The American eye for artistic beauty
has been immeasurably helped too.
Many a farmer who formerly let weeds
and briers run wild and unsightly along
his roadside has cut them all away and
planted rows of beautiful trees. Hedges
of flowering shrubs, clumps of trees
about springs and water sources, already
attest to our awakened interest in arbor
iculture.
It fills one with ineffable weariness to
behold those lazy, stupid and stingy
Bourbons trying once more as always
to overthrow the French republic. The
old Count of Paris ought to be gently
gagged and bound and kept in a sani
tarium for a year or so till the French
republic clears tho thieves out of her
high places and settles herself firmly to
honest government again. It is disgust
ing to read how in his manifesto to the
Monarchists old Paris says, "Wo must
let France understand that a monarchy
alono can give her a strong and stable
government, whose solo object is the
public welfare."
Tho Count of Paris has a short mem
ory. Monarchy had things all its own
way in France from tho time of King
Clovis, in 4G5, down to 1703. Did it in
1,1100 years givo to France ever at any
time a government whose sole object
was the welfare of the people? No. On
the contrary, its load of taxation became
so heavy, its oppression so cruel, its in
decencies so flagrant, that at last the
French people rose and cast it out from
among them. Let us hope it has at last
been finally cast out forever and forever,
amenl Didn't monarchy have a fair
trial in France? Wasn't 1,300 years long
enough, iu heaven's name? Think on
these things, Count of Paris, and keep
your mouth shut.
"Sir," writes Professor Gold win Smith
to the editor of tho London Times, "tho
pomp, immense and impressive, though
republican, of a presidential inaugura
tion must bring home to tho mind of
every thoughtful Englishman who wit
nesses it tho momentous fact that Ameri
ca has the safeguards of a real monarchy,
while Great Britain has enly a monar
chical pageant." He proceeds to say then
that this fact makes the difference be
tween American democracy and the
democracy into which England is drift
ing. He regards the variety of repub
licanism which Europe seems to be ap
proaching as merely a form of stuto so
cialism. American republicanism in his
judgment is tho real thing. It lias thus
far escaped the danger of a stato social
ism. The idea that a man must do ev
erything for himself is, in Professor
Smith's opinion, a much safer one than
the idea that government must do every
thing for him.
Tho prison parolo system will be tried
in California, tho governor having ap
proved tho bill to that effect. Under
this system prisoners who have served a
part of their term and have good con
duct during that time to their credit
may bo released on parole during the rest
of their term. If during this time of
probation they lead honorable and indus
trious lives, then at the end of the term
tho sentence is canceled. They aro
watched closely during tho probation
and rearrested and made to serve out the
full remaining term if caught in any mis
demeanor. Tho advocates of this plan
believe it will encourage ex-convicts to
become good citizens. In California
1,000 prisoners will bo let out on parolo
under the new law.

tion." Ho could not be tendered. Soy

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., April 25.
Secretary Carlisle is daily proving him
self to be the right man in the right
place. He has not allowed himself to
become anxious or excited during the
financial flurry of the week, brought
about, as he firmly believes, by a com
bine of bankers who are seeking, by a
renewed demand for gold for shipment
abroad, to force an issue of bonds. So
firm is the secretary in his belief that
this is true that he politely, but positive
ly, declined to accept an invitation ex
tended him by New York city bankers
to meet them in that town for the pur
pose of discussing the gold problem; he
also, when it was suggested to him that
the bankers would come to Wasliington
to discuss the matter if he would invite
them, declined to do so. For the United
States treasury to be run entirely inde
pendent of Wall street men is something
decidedly new, and compliments for
Secretary Carlisle are heard on all sides,
from Republicans as well as from Demo
crats.
One gentleman, a personal friend, said:
"Secretary Carlisle believes that Wall
street bankers have had entirely too
much say in the conduct of the financial
department of the government in the
past, and that they are largely respon
sible for the present situation. Conse
quently he has no idea of taking them
into his confidence as to what he intends
doing. lie proposes to give them a need
ed lesson by showing them that all the
financial ability is not congregated in
Wall street, and that they cannot dictate
the country's linancial programme." I
The firmness of Secretary Carlisle
against an issue of bonds has already
brought about a better condition of af- !
fairs, and it is believed that if those who I
wish to compel an issue of bonds become >
convinced that none will be issued, the |
demand for gold for foreign shipment ,
will soon resume its normal condition. !
The outlook is considered much better j
that it was at the beginning of this week, j
Attorney General Olney has apparently
been selected as the target at which to
fire every slander and lie that is hatched
up by the guttersnipes of the opposition
and the sensational press. Ono of the
most audacious of these was tho ono
which purported to give in detail the
particulars of Ilepresentative Wilson, of
West Virginia, being snubbed by the at
torney general, in the office of the latter.
It was published at a time when it was
known that Mr. Wilson would be where
he would not he likely to see the story
until it had about tao days publicity,
and worse than that, some of the papers
that printed the lie neglected to print
Mr. Wilson's unqualified denial, which
was telegraphed to them as soon as he
read the article. The attorney general,
like the dignified gentleman that he is,
quietly performs his official duties, just
as though the barking curs did not exist.
Many statements, some of them ridic
ulously absurd, have been made about
President Cleveland's intentions con
cerning Hawaii. The fact of the matter
is that he will await the report of com
missioner Blount before deciding what
to do. It was because he did not con
sider the information at hand sufficient
ly definite to make up his mind what
ought to he done that lie sent Col.
Biount to Hawaii. Ali statements to
the contrary are merely guesswork, as
neither the president nor Secretary
Gresham will discuss the matter, that is,
not for publication.
President Cleveland and Secretary
(iresham have been Investigating the
working of the much-talked-about reci
procity treaties made under the authori
ty of the McKinley tariff law, and it
looks now as if they were one and all
failures and that they wilt have to go.
Those with Brazil, and with Spain for
Cuba and Porto Rico, will probably be
the first to be abolished, as there have
been numerous complaints about the
manner in which the custom officials of
those countries have violated the trea
ties. Tables prepared at the state de
partment show that the whole system
has been a failure, and that instead of
increasing the market for American pro
ducts there has been, in several coun
tries. a marked falling off in our trade
since the treaties went into effect. The
president believes that a conciliatory
policy towards our neighbors will result
in much greater commercial benefit to
us than the policy of reciprocity by coer
cion which was practiced by the ilurris-
Bon administration.

"I was just watching a negro that
passed by here a few minutes ago with
a dog tied to n string," said Christian
Banks to a reporter at the Lindell. "If
thero is anything that is really humor
ous, it is to see a negro affectionately
loading a dog that hasn't any affection
for him at all, and doesn't want to have,
either. The garb was, as usual, indica
tive of tho fact that the negro had little
else to do except to take care of the dog.
His hands were almost hidden by the
length of his coat sleeves, anil tho coat
itself hung in rich, heavy folds over the
shoulders and back in a manner more
comfortable than graceful. Tho pants
looked liko segmented cloth rings, piled

up. They must have been warm.
"And there was that poor unpedigreed
purp slouching along after in an hum
ble, respectful way that was, however,
only measured by the length of the
string and tho strength and toughness of
it. Occasional jerks on the cord that
pulled tho dog's neck skin nearly over
its head, and a 'come along, now; (loan'
you go foolin wif me,' indicated to tho
obedient animal that it was expedient to
move along in this world. I just won

Victor Hugo, whose birthday France has

j the future, said: "In the Twentieth cen

j will livel For all humanity there will be

earth; for ail the people one hope, that hope

| wonderful advances made by the world in
, the past fifty years, the triumphs of skill,
j the inventions of genius perfected and
J brought about through the forces of steam
j and electricity, imagination runs riot and
| the brain grows dizzy at the possibilities of
j the next century. When wo remember, too,
that humanity, like blind Orion struggling

! has turned its face toward the light strug
| gling toward the realms of thought, de
| veloping a higher intellectuality progress
. ing in an age of ideas, we may well ex
! claim, "Ear hath not heard, eye liath not
I seen, nor hath it entered into the heart of
I man," the wonders, changes and gigantic
j progression that science, now in its infancy,
I hath in store for the children of men.
In 100 years the political and social Im
provements of the United States and of the
whole world will be so marked in contrast
with the social cannibalism and pitiful
wage slavery of today that the world will
shudder as it reviews our time. The dec
laration of American independence will be
the only political platform, its inspiration
the golden rule; the map of Europe will be
changed, crowns will fall and thrones
crumble; the divine right of kings and tho
divine right of capital will bo recognized us
subterfuges whereby the vicious and idle
lived upon the toil of others. The reign of
justice will be inaugurated!
Tho complexity of government will dis
appear, for tho intricate and burdensome
laws that now obstruct justice and bewilder
and bcswindle the masses shall be obliter
ated. The rule of individual action will be
the fullest liberty ami highest go<xl of each
compatible with tho fullest liberty and high
est good of all. Thfi railroads and channels
of communication, light, water and nil
public improvements will be managed by
the state in the interest of tho people and
owned by the general government. That
superstition of a darker post, a fetich
taught by selfish partisans and college bred
idiots, that gold should bo tho basis of
money, will disappear before the full knowl
edge of tho fact that a gold basis for a
monetary system was a trick of the money
breeders to make money scarce and dear
and flesh and blood cheap.
Temperance legislation will consist in
# every man being a prohibitory law unto him
self, and in this way only can that evil that
is so deeply rooted in the human heart that
legislation cannot reach it be controlled
and subdued. With tho amelioration of
poverty through the just distributions of j
the enormous profits of labor and the boun
teous gifts of God the per cent, of criminals >'
will bo reduced to the minimum, and for |
the few who fall into evil doing because of t
the brute in the family blood that should j
have been subdued in their grandfathers
the state will bring all the machinery of j
humane power to defend and improve just I
as it now brings its power of law to prose- i
cute and brutalize. With individual free
dom and the absolute right of tho whole j
people to the free use of the earth and its I
resources, slavery and Inequality will disap- j
pear, one sex will have equal opportunities
with the other, and woman's dependence, :
the primal cause of man's brutality and i
sex slavery, will have become a thing of tho !
past.
Marriage will bo not so much a contract
of flesh legalized for a fee as a union of
soul sanctified by an approving conscience.
Tho tendency toward the accumulation of
great wealth in the hands of a few will de
crease in tho next century, for the quick
ened conscience and aroused conceptions of
justice of an intelligent people will class
that man with criminals who holds more
of tho world's gifts than he can possibly
use while his fellow beings want. The
bounties of God shall not be fettered by the
dead, but the earth and the fullness thereof
shall belong in Usufruct to the living.
Great corporations and business combines,
which constitute the power of plutocracy,
shall be controlled and dominated by na
tionalism—the creature shall not be greater
than its creator. With a government "of,
for and by tho people," in fact as well as
tradition, the condition of the laboring
classes will be one of comfort and independ
ence. Three hours will constitute a long
day's work and liberally furnish infinitely
more of the benefits of civilization and the
comforts of life than sixteen hours' slavish
toil will provide today. Opportunity will
thus be given to improve and develop thoso
God given faculties and aspirat ions that lie
dormant in every human soul. Books and
musie, athletic games and mental and phys
ical culture will occupy the time and
thoughts of a healthy, happy, godlike peo
ple who will send out thought messages
from soul to soul, from place to place, as an
arrow flies from the bow of the archer.
Agriculture will bo developed by elec
tricity, the motive power of the future.
Science will take in condensed form from
the rich loam of earth the life force or
germs now found iu the heart of the corn,
the kernel of the wheat, the luscious juice
of the fruits. A small phial of this life from
the fertile bosom of mother earth will fur
nish man with subsistence for days, and
thus the problems of cooks and cooking
will be solved. The slaughter of animals,
the appetite for flesh meat that has left the
world reeking with blood and bestialized
humanity, will be one of the shuddering
horrors of the past. Slaughter houses,
butcher shops and ait tie pens will bo con
verted into conservatories und beds of
bloom. Man niul beast will hold life sa
cred, and the vegetarians of the next cen
tury will exclaim with Goldsmith:
No flocks that range the valleys free,
To slaughter I condemn;
Taught by that power that pities me,
I learn to pity thein.
The dress of the future will offer no re
sistance to or compression of action. Bath
ing ever in the infinite ocean of good the
"house beautiful" will not be prematurely
decayed by sickness, distorted by pain or
racked by fashion's tortures. Vulgarity
will not conceal or expose. "To the pure
all things will be pure." The practice of
the maxim "Know thyself" will make the
body honored and resplendent—"the torn
pie of the Iloly Ghost." The race will be
mentally and physically healthier, happier
and handsomer because the mothers of the
race, no longer dependent upon man, will
he freed from his bestiality, while man's
animality will decrease in proportion to the
increase of mentality. Woman shall have
the solo light to say when she shall wear
the crown of motherhood, and our jails and
almshouses, streets and alleys shall no
longer swarm with the spawn of degraded
men.
Improvements, inventions and startling
discoveries will so crowd and supersede one
another that our limited human keu can
not today grasp them all. We will bear
down the barriers between the seen and the
unseen and hold converse with the disem
bodied. We will travel over land and water
and through the air by means of electricity,
and hold communication with the in
habitants of other planets, and Sunday ex
cursions to the mountains of the moon will
not excite comment. The ceuter of popu
lation has moved westward 500 miles in the
past century, and, judging the future by
the past, the greatest city will be located
on our boundless western prairies, whero
the almond eyed Mongolian from the orient
will meet in the tide of humanity pouring
westward the Aryan brother from whom
he separated on the plains of Asia 0,000
years ago.
Where Chicago now lifts lier proud spires
j and many storied buildings a great lake or
1 inland sea will surge its restless waters,
, and the dwellers on its banks will tell with
j bated breath of the cataclysm that en
gulfed the doomed city and rolled the
waters upon its sin and pride.
The American now living who will be
the most honored in 1993 will be that man
who is today endeavoring to exemplify in
bis life and teachings the spirit and doc
trine of Jesus Christ, who is lifting from
the rubbish of the temple the book of
books, and leaving nothing undone to bring
alxjut that time of which Isaiah sung and
the prophets have so long foretold. Un
honored by wealth or station, though not
unknown, lie lives today for his fellow men,
l>eloved by all who meet him. Tho ripest
years of his white manhood he has been
writing justice on'the nation's page, and
this shall bo his sure reward, for "With
whut measure you mete unto others, it
shall be meted unto you."
For ever the truth coinos uppermost.
As round and round wo run;
And over tho right shall triumph.
And ever shall justice bo done.
Yours for the kingdom coming,

Cities of the Next Century.
[From Our Now York Correspondent.]
Colonel Albert I). Shaw, who, when
United States consul to Manchester, gained
a wide repute, speaking of the development
I of cities in tho next century, said:
One of the greatest cities in the United
States will lxi found to occupy the area be
tween Buffalo and Niagara falls. I think
that early in the century there will be a
city of 1,C00,000 inhabitants there. It will
be one of the greatest manufacturing cities
in the world. It will include practically the
city of Buffalo us well as the towns upon
the borders of the Niagara river.
This great city is to be developed through
the capturing of the power of Niagara falls,
which even today is practically consum
mated, and which from the time of tho dis
covery of this country ijas gone to waste.
This water power is to bo mainly utilized
in the development of electricity, undvboth
the Canadian and the American fulls are
to be made to serve this purpose
A power will be developed there suffi
cient not only to run all the engines neces
sary to turn the wheels in as many factories
as can be located in this area, but also suf
ficient to furnish the city of Buffalo with
light and with electricity for domestic uses,
and, I am inclined to think, may even pro
vide power and light for cities as far away
as New York and Philadelphia on the east
and Cleveland and Cincinnati and Toledo
011 the west. The capacity is practically
limitless.
Even with the great plants now estab
lished 011 the American side and with those
contemplated on tho Canadian side only a
comparatively small portion of this enor
mous power is utilized. It has the advan
tage of being not only cheap,but permanent.
No drought will ever affect the Niagara
falls, and the cost of furnishing power will
not be dependent upon the operations of
capitalists who control the coal fields.
Already there are indications of the
growth of this city. Manufacturers from
all parts of the United States are securing
rights there, and even before the close of
this century we shall see a considerable
city established there. Early in the next
century I look to see a continuous manu
facturing city extending from the Niagara
river to what arc now the outskirts of the
city of Buffalo.
Nature has done everything to favor this
locality, and at bust science and capital are
taking advantage of these natural tempta
tions. My own opinion is that during tho
next century this -will become the greatest
manufacturing center in the world, qnd
men now in the prime of life will see
enough, I think, to justify 1110 in this pre
diction and before many years have passed.
Junius licnri Browne's Tretllction.
I am and have always been u great be
liever in America and everything American.
The form of government is ideal, and will
no doubt meet the requirements of its citi
zens l'or generations if not for ages to come.
The social and political condition of tho
country in 11)93 will be, in my opinion, a
marked improvement on what it is now.
It will tend more and more to humanity,
reason, freedom and independence of the
individual. Socialism, which is in the air,
will steadily grow here in a modified and
rationalized form. There will be more
equulity in education, position and fortune.
The republic will be more than ever
democratized. The government will bo
simpler. The railroads and telegraphs
will in all probability be owned by tho
*tato and managed excellently—better than
they have been at any previous time.
Legislation on the subject of temperance
will be more enlightened. There will bono
attempt to enforce total abstinence, but
there will be less drinking and fur fewer
rumshops. Those that are permitted will
be obliged to pay very high license and will j
be thoroughly regulated by law.
Criminals will be less severely punished
and their number will have materially
diminished. General education will have ;
greatly lessened crime. .
The divorce laws will be the same in all
the states. Divorce will Ixi freer generally !
than at present, but allowed for only a few
moral causes—among them nousupport, !
disloyalty, crime, intemperance and tern- j
peramentitl incompatibility.
Wealth will be more widely and equally
distributed, and great corporations and busi
ness interests will be conducted harmoni
ously—on the principle of the employees
and workers sharing in the profits. The
conflict between labor and capital will bo
largely settled in this way, aided by co
operation. As a necessary result the lor
boring classes will be much less dependent.
Food will be provided iu the next cen
tury at a low cost and without difficulty
for our entire population. Schemes to ad
vance the prices of the necessities of life
will have become so discouraged by public
opinion as to be no longer practicable.
Law will be simplified. Lawyers will
have diminished, and their fees will have
been vastly curtailed. The principles of
medicine will be more generally and intel
ligently understood. There will bo much
more dependence on nature than on drugs
or physicians, who will have decreased.
Theology, as such, will be little taught
and will have almost no influence. Author
ity will have no weight, and faith, as re
spects dogma, will be without esteem. The
doctrine, then, will be deed, not creed.
The churches, outside of the Roman Catho
lic, will coalesce—will l>e as one. They will
preach morality only and inculcate charity.
American literature will stand at the
head of English literature. The drama will
be its best and most accepted form.
The social and political status of women
will bo on a par with that of men. They
will enjoy the elective franchise.
The servant problem will have adjusted
itself to the needs of the community, and
will have ceased to be an injustice and a tor
ment to householders.
The race will be handsomer, healthier
and more contented—through increased ed
ucation, knowledge of science and human
sympathy.
JUNIUS HENRI BROWNE.
The Development of the South.
[From Our New York Correspondent,]
Mr. Samuel Barton, who is a nephew of
Commodore Vanderbilt and the broker
who executed many of his orders when Jay
Gould and the creator of the Vanderbilt
fortunes were engaged in a contest for the
possession of the Erie railroad, in speaking
of the development of the United States in
the next century, said:
It is my opinion that there is to be a won
derful development of the resources of the
stute of Florida in the next century. Our
people do not understand what a magnifi
cent territory tliat is. It will become not
only the great sanitarium for the invalids
of the east, but my impression is will bo a
rival with Nice and other Mediterranean
districts for those who seek pleasure and
comfort in winter travel. Already some of
the capitalists who have been attracted to
that country are developing it by means of
railways.
j Before the beginning of the next century
n railroad will skirt the Atlantic shore al
most as far down as the Florida keys.
This great subtropical territory will bo as
thoroughly crisscrossed by railways as are
some of the states of the north. I think
our pleasure seekers will discover that the
lower part of Florida has as many tempta
tions in the winter season us have any of
the winter resorts of Europe, and I look to
seo the islands in the Caribbean sea the re
sort of those who seek fashionable pleas
ures, for there they will And much greater
natural beauties than are to bo enjoyed on
the shores of the Mediterranean, and there
is none of those distressing mistrals which
sometimes make life miserable at these
Mediterranean resorts.
I doubt whether the lower part of Flor
ida will ever bo drained so as to make that
section available for agriculture, although
almost anything ingoing to be possible in
the next century. Completely to drain
that would require the building of a ditch
as deep and broad as the Mississippi river.
Farther north, however, I think we shall
find early in the next century the great
sugar belt there completely under cultiva
tion, and it is capable of producing millions
of pounds of sugar.
Transportation facilities will bo so in
creased that the orange district, especially
upon the east coast, will practically furnish
the United States all the oranges the mar
ket requires. Pines and cocoanuts will be
grown in southern Florida to such an ex
tent as to command the markets of this
country, and I think I am not making a
wild prediction when I say that in the next
century the value of Florida to the United
States will lie of more commercial impor
tance than are some of the states in which
even bonanza mines have been discovered.
Professor David Swing's Guess.
It is almost certain that the United States
will continue to advance in all the next
hundred years. The sunshine, rain and
soil are constant quantities in the sense
that they seem quite secure for one more
century. Coal oil and natural gas will no
longer exist, but there will be plenty of
wood and coal. There will be footl for alt,
but all the great west and southwest will
be settled as densely as Germany, but Mex
ico and Canada will then be in the North
American republic and will furnish homes
for many new millions.
The American president will bo elected
for six or elg}it years and will not be eligi- I
ble for a second term. Near the close of the
next century some rare, noble woman will
be elected president of the United States.
Railways will be so leveled and straight
ened that slow freight trains will make 100
miles an hoitr, but the best of passenger
trains will run 130 miles an hour. It is not
certain that steam wil 1 be the form of power.
New powers are liable to be discovered.
Ono cent a mile will bo full fare.
Considerable traveling will be done by
the air route. The fact that air is an ocean
which will float a man settles the ques
tion of aerial navigation.- Man is sim
ply to invent the kind of boat. It must be
very large and strong. It must come. This
boat may be guided from city to city by a
wire strung about 100 feet above ground,
so as to let the balloon pass over trees and
houses. Thus a wire one-quarter of an inch
in diameter will held and guide many bal
loons full of people.
On account of fast and cheap travel cities
will become groups of suburbs, and all the
poor will have air, sunshine and light.
Suburban fare, twenty miles, will be two
cents, on what are called zone tickets.
The working people will all be share
holders in the farm or factory where they
work. They will simply draw dividends
and will lose by all strikes, because they
will strike against their own interest.
Literature, the drama and all life will be
higher and purer, because the increase of
common sense implies an increase of ull
that is good. Dress of woman will be sim
pler and the conduct of men more honor
able, for each iomdrcd years make man and
woman less of a fool.
The Christian church will rest wholly
upon the words and life of Christ. The
writers of the Bible will stand reluted to
Christ only as valuable forerunners and
missionaries of the one great Chief. The
church will be a vast impulse and guide iu
art, ethics, benevolence and worship.
Great calamities will coiue in the form of
pestilence, earthquakes and civil strife, but
they will not much impede the progress of
the nation. Washington and Lincoln will
still bo most honored names because no
other two minds can ever again find two
such tasks to be performed..

Bearded women have existed at nil peri
ods of the world's history. Even Herodo
tus, the "Father of History," gives us an
account of one Pedasnes, "who lived above
Huliearnassus, n priestess of Minerva;whose
chin regularly budded with a large beard
whenever any public calamity impended."
