Chauncey NJ. Depew on the Future of Poiit
ical Parties.

From Our New York Correspondent
Chauncey M. Depew, in speaking Of the
probable relation of American parties to
the government and to one another in the
Twentieth century, said: "The issues will
of course constantly change New ones will
arise. No man can tell exactly what form
they will take. 1t is very evident that the
Twentieth century is to witness continu-
ance of the prodigious intellectual, CONNER
cial and religious activity that has character
ized the closing years of the Nineteenth CEN
fury. Social, economic, commercial and
very largely business questions will be rep
resented in party platforms There will be
shifting of individuals constantly from one
party to the other, yet am satisfied that
the essential differences which will distin-
guish the two great parties, and there never
can be more than two great parties in this
country, will be precisely those which have
distinguished American parties since the
foundation of the government.
"There will be one party which will be
essentially what the Republican party of
today is, what its predecessor, the Wing
party, was, and which will contain as its

"Thefriction between these two parties

times the pendulum will swing one way

run the average representing the extreme
view in neither party will dominate the
destinies of the nation. This is health.
This is the harvest of vigorous and strong

Congressman Harter on Paternal Govern
ment.

Congressman Harter on Paternal Govern
ment.
believe that in 1893 thegovernment will,
If possible, be more completely divorced
from ownership in railroads and telegraphs
than now. Long before thatl faraway date
it will become the settled conviction Of the
governing classes, the newspaper power
and OF those writers who are read and OF
the speakers who are listened to that the
less the government NEEDLES with private
affairs, the less it interferes with CONNER
cial enterprises, and the more closely 1t
confines itself to the few but necessary
functions properly belonging to it, the bet
ter.
The doctrine that the government which
governs least is best will much earlier than
1898 be the unwritten but fundamental
law. Instead Of enormously increasing our
civil service list, which government owner
ship of railroads and telegraphs would no
cessitate, as the nation grows believe 1t
will constantly but perhaps slowly decrease,
and that while the aggregate may be larger
the proportion of our people so engaged Will
be smaller than in 1893.
OF course know the apparent present
tendency toward Capitalization, but 100
years is q long time, and It will give ample
time for all great experiments In this
direction to collapse, and instead Of the
government in 1903 taking the child at the
cradle and rearing him under public super
vision and under official control at the ex-
pense of the community, and finally, after
feeding and clothing him by law and under
rule and regulation, burying him In q state
cemetery and putting an official headstone
up for him, a wiser generation will inter
fere even less with him and his occupations
than now, and men will be left to work out
their own salvation, politically and morally,
more than in 1893.
What is true in this direction will be true
Of business enterprises of all kinds, and the
man who in 1903 talks of the government
buying and operating railroads will be
looked upon by the charitably disposed as
a sort of Rip Van Wrinkle, and by the more
matter of fact as an ignoramus, and by the
scientific as suffering from mild form Of

is too well known to be repeated here.
In or near a growing city like Detroit,
land is positively certain to increase
rapidly in value, and cannot fail to add
wealth to the purchaser. Every me-
chanic, laborer, merchant, clerk, or
business man, should own land. There
is not q reader of this, but who may
own from one to fifty lots in Detroit,
which will pay fifty to two hundred per
cent on the money invested.

The Destiny of the United States.

The manifest destiny of the United States
is to dominate the American hemisphere,
not by political intrigue, diplomatic nego
tiations nor the force Of arms, not by the
annexation of territory nor the establish
ment of protectorates, but by the influence
of example and commercial relations. The
tie that will bind the American republics
and colonies will be the tie of trade, and In
1898 American commerce to q very large der
gree will be confined to American wAtsrs.
There will be railway between Buenos
Ayres and Chicago, and the remnant OF
that race whose misfortunes have made the
history of Peru pathetic Will contemplate
the blessings of civil and religious liberty
under the shadows Of the Bartholdi statue
and the Washington monument. There
will be weekly voyages across tho gulf
which divides the southern coast Of North
America from the northern coasts of Cen
trail and South America, and the theory of
Columbus concerning western passage to
the Indies will be realized by the construo-
ton of an isthmian canal.
The tabled FL Dorado, which was sought
so persistently for three centuries among
the green jungles of the Orinoco and tha
Amazon, will be found in the bosom of the
Andes, and the gold and silver of Bolivia
and the diamonds of Brazil will be ex-
changed for the cotton Of our southern SEQ
ton and the manufactured merchandise of
our northern states.
AS we must have the coffee. the sugar
and other fruits of the tropic zones 30 must
those who raise them have the results OF
our mechanical industry and genius. The
Creator intended there should be an ex-
change of products between the American
continents and distributed their natural
resources so that their population can hvs
in prosperity and contentment without an
ounce of European or Asiatic merchandise.
The value Of the commerce between the
United States and the Latin-American
countries in 1870 was SIC, 0Oa, 900; in 1890
$780, SOC, 900; in 1891, 1885,, 8a 900, and in 1885,
| 1881, 440, 900, which shows that the divine
purpose Is gradually becoming fact.

Old Joe Case didn't have much

Joe had just pulled through a

was persuaded, much against his

The country doctor to whom Joe
went for the quinine happened to
be very busy that day and did not
have time to put up any capsules
for him. However, he provided
him with the materials and ample
directions as TO how he must fill
the capsules with the quinine.

himself at the doctors Office. His
