| believe that in 1893 we will have the
most perfect republican form of govern
ment in the United States that was ever
conceived in the minds of the wisest states
men, and the social condition of the people
Will be such that there will be no suffering
from the deprivation Of the necessities of
life. All will have happy homes. Vice and
immortality will largely if not altogether
have ceased to exist. There will be not
only great intellectual but very great moral
advancement. We are making wonderful
strides in that direction now There will
be less government than there is now and
it will be more simple
There is no likelihood that the railroads
and telegraphs will ever be managed by the
state, for the reason that when the state
takes charge of railroads and telegraphs
there would be the same reason that the
government should take charge of all other
enterprises which are now owned and con-
trollCd by individuals, such as street car
lines, manufactures, steamship lines, farms
Individual enterprise and opportunities
would largely cease There would be no
incentive, or comparatively none, for in
q
All citizens would simply become wards of
the nation and would receive their portions
from the state and would return to inaction
or indOlent effort.
Probably the government will then own
and control all the products of our gold
and silver mines, and they will be held by
the government, as now, for the purpose Of
redeeming the paper obligations of the gov
eminent, although such redemption will
largely be unnecessary for the reason that
there will be such stability in our financial
laws that the people will not question the
value of any OF the obligations Of the COY
eminent.
The people by this time will have become
educated to such an extent that the vice of
intemperance will largely cease, saloons or
public drinking places will probably no
longer exist, and stimulants of any kind, if
used at all, will probably be only seen in
the family.
Improved methods of treatment for the
confinement and punishment of criminals
will be lnaugurated and much more atten-
ton be given to their reformation than to
their punishment.
Wealth undoubtedly will be much more
evenly distributed. There will be great COM
fort and prosperity with the masses as well.
The condition of the laboring classes will
be less dependent and greatly improved,
and there will be more friendly relations
existing between employers and the en-
ployees, better understanding and greater
equality.
Methods of agriculture will be such and
the improvement in agricultural machinery
SO great that all the immense population
Of 1893 will be amply provided for. and
American citizens will, continue to be the
best dressed, the best fed and the best
housed people of the world
There will be great advancement in all
the professions in literature, music and the
drama People will be longer lived. They
will understand much better the nature of
their wants and the treatment of diseases.
They will be better natured and more con-
ciliatory: consequently there will be less
need of the laws and laws methods. The
whole tendency of the race will be to-
ward comfort, leisure, luxury, cultivation,
simplicity in dress and broadeV charity in
all social relations. The race will be hand
somer, healthier and happier than ever be

Experience of an English Woman.
Mrs Jane Golden Unwin sailed for
IL
impression upon all who met her. This
lady had singular experience a few
years ago in the London county council.
Mrs Unwin, then Miss Jane Golden,
was elected a member of the county
council, at the same time as Lady Sand
hurst. In the case of Lady Sandhurst
the defeated candidate contested the
election on the ground that a woman
was not legally eligible. The court sus-
tanned him, and Lady Sandhurst was
unseated. But in Miss Cobdens district
the defeated candidate was man who
believed in having women on the coun-
Gil, and he declined to contest the cleo
ton. In England if year is allowed to
elapse before IA election is called in
question it must be regarded as valid,
and no contest can be raised later. Miss
Golden allowed year to pass, and then
the legality of her election not having
been contested she took her seat. This
made troublesome case for the courts,
but she was finally unseated and was
fined for illegal voting for every vote she
had cast as a member of the council
