Professor David SWINGS Guess.

1t 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 food for all,
but all the great west and southwest will
be settled as densely as Germany, but Mex
leo and Canada will then be in the North
American republic and will furnish homes
for many new millions.
The American president will be elected
for six or eight years and will not be eligi-
bic for 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 hour, but the best of passenger
trains will run 1870 miles an hour. 1t is not
certain that steam will be the form of power,
New powers are liable to be discovered
One cent mile will be full fare.
Considerable travelling will be done by
the air route. The fact that air is an ocean
which will float man settles the cues
tion of aerial navigation. Man is sim
ply to invent the kind of boat. 1t must be
very large and strong. 1t 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 wire one-quarter of an inch
in diameter will hold and guide many bal
looms 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 VIII 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 all
that Is good. Dress of woman will be sim
per ana the conduct of men more honor
aole, Ior each Anndred years make man and
woman less of fool.
The Christian church will rest wholly
upon the words and life of Christ The
writers of the Bible will stand related to
Christ only as valuable forerunners and
missionaries of the one great Chief The
church will be vast impulse and guide in
art, ethics, benevolence and worship.
Great calamities will come 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 he most honored names because no
other two minds can ever again find two
such tasks to be performed.

"Sir," writes Professor Goodwin Smith
to the editor of the London Times, "the
pomp, immense and impressive, though
republican, of presidential Inaugural
ton must bring home to the mind Of
every thoughtful Englishman who wit
nesses it the momentous fact that Ameri-
ca has the safeguards of real monarchy,
while Great Britain has only 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-
preaching as merely form of state So
cialism. American republicanism in his
judgment is the real thing 1t has thus
far escaped the danger of state social
ism. The idea that man must do ev-
erything for himself is, in Professor
Smiths opinion, a much safer one than
the idea that government must do every
thing for him.

The Development of the South.

tFrom Our New York Correspondent
Mr.. Samuel Barton, who is nephew of
Commodore Vanderbilt and the broker
who executed many of his orders when Jay
Gould and the creator of the Vanderbilt
fortunes We're engaged in contest for the
possession of the Erie railroad, in speaking
of the development of the United States in
the next century, said:
1t is my opinion that there is to be Won
derful development of the resources of the
state Of Florida in the next century. Our
people do not understand what magnifi-
cent territory that is. 1t will become not
only the great sanitarium for the invalids
of the east, but my impression is will be 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.
Before the beginning of the next century
railroad will skirt the Atlantic shore al
most as far down as the Florida keys
This great subtropical territory will be as
thoroughly crisscrossed by railways as are
some of the states of the north. l think
our pleasure seekers will discover that the
lower part of Florida has as many tempta-
tions in the winter season as have any of
the winter resorts of Europe, and | look to
see the islands in the Caribbean sea the re-
sort of those who seek fashionable pleas
ttres, for there they will find much greater
natural beauties than are to be enjoyed on
the shores of the Mediterranean, and there
is none of those distressing mistrals which
sometimes make life miserable at these
Mediterranean resorts.
doubt whether the lower part of Flor
ida will ever be drained so us to make that
section available for agriculture, although
almost anything is going to be possible in
the next century. Completely to drain
that would require the building of ditch
as deep and broad as the Mississippi river.
Farther north, however, | 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 be 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 l think l am not making
wild prediction when | say that in the next
century the value of Florida to the United
States will be of more commercial impor-
tance than are some of the states in which
even bonanza mines have been discovered.

For nearly two weeks the sensa,

nave been spreading" themselves
with much professed indignation over
the order that cansed the American

and Their unsuccessful efforts to make
the people believe that an insult was
offered the flag is ON a par with some

selt-styled patriots-men who would

United States has any desire to annex
the islands or take charge of them in
way let 1t be done manly and not by
coercion: The provisional govern

to be treated with as much respect as
the government of any large and DOW.

friends would prefer to see the ad-
mlnlstration now in power discuss
these matters with the bulldog tactics
used by Great Britain-coerce them

France.

1t fills one with ineffable WEAKNESS 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 year or so till the French
republic clears the thieves out of her
high places and settles herself firmly to
honest government again. 1t is disgust
ing to read how in his manifesto to the
Monarchists old Paris says, 1--WE must
let France understand that a monarchy
alone can give her q strong and stable
government, whose sole object is the
public welfare"
The Count of Paris has a short mem
ory Monarchy had things all its own
way in France from the time of King
Clovis, in 465, down to 1902 Did it in
1900 years give to France ever at any
time 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 fragrant, 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
amen! Didn't monarchy have fair
trial in France? Wasn't 1 300 years long
enough, in heavens name? Think on
these things, Count of Paris, and keep
your mouth shut.

President Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham 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 will 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 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 Harris
son administration.

Many statements, some of them ride
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. 1t was because he did not con-
slider the information at hand sufficient
ly definite to make up his mind what
ought to be done that he sent Col
Blount to Hawaii. All statements to
the contrary are merely guesswork, as
neither the president nor Secretary
Gresham will discuss the matter, that is,
not for publication.

Attorney General Olney has apparently
been selected as the target at which to
fire every SANDER and lie that is hatched
up by the guttersnipes of the opposition
and the sensational press. One of the
most audacious of these was the one
which purported to give in detail the
particulars of Representative Wilson, of
West Virginia, being snubbed by the at
torney general, in the office of the latter.
1t was published at time when it was
known that Mr.. Wilson would be where
he would not be likely to see the story
until it had about two 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 ours did not exist.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. c., April %.
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 furry of the week, brought
about, as he firmly believes, by 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 Washington
to discuss the matter if he would invite
them, declined to do so. For the United
States treasury to be run entirely indie
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-
Gratis.
One gentleman, 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. He proposes to give them 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 financial programme.
The tirmneSS of Secratary Car1iala
against an issue of bonds has already
brought about better condition of af-
fairs, and it is believed that if those who
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
that it was at the beginning of this week.

to be caught ON that road during
the night. The fact is that although,
at the livery stables of Lafayette and
.BreauxB Bridge. they have good and
experieaced drivers. they would not
undertake to bring q passenger
through the road in the night. The
writer himself was forced to start
once during the night to take the

upset buggy. passenger and himself

such a shameful conditions; and it is
painful to state, that although during

And this in the face of the fact that

Guiana Indian Customs.

About nine miles above Akyma is a
large village of aboriginal Maucuisi
Indians. They are said to be peacea-
BILE savages, who build little grass huts
and go about in puris naturalibus.
Among their singular customs is that
of bandaging the legs just below the
knee and around the ankle, so as to
produce an abnormally large calf, be-
ginning the practice in infancy, as the
Flathead Indians do with their heads
and the Chinese with their feet. Dame
Fashion dictates strange things even
in these remote parts. Their neigh
bors, the Caribs, follow her DEGREES by
making pincushion of the lower lip,
by sticking into it several long, slender
pins of bone or steel, resembling knit
ting needles, or sharp thorns where
pins are unobtainable, which they re-
move for the exigencies of eating and
kissing and afterward return to the
same ace,-Philadelphia Record,
