DR. HALE,s PROPHECY !.

In a lecture recently delivered the
 distinguished Edward Everett Hale
 talked of the future and predicted grea
 economic changes in the new century
 upon which we are about to enter It will witness, he thinks, the practical abolition of hand-work, the almost uni
 yersal use of machinery in wealth pro- 1 duction, the conversion of the laborer into the workingnan, and the banish-
 ment of drudgery to make way for pleasurable employment. No man fa-
 miliar with the history of the arts and sciences will dare be skeptical of this
 hopeful prophecy. While men are liV-
 ing who have with their own eyes wit
 messed the evolution of artificial light
 ing from the talloW candle to the eIec-
 tric systems that have turned night in-
 to day; who have seen space and time
 bridged by the telephone, telegraph
 and railway express, there should be
 no skeptics Nothing is impossible,
 even the day when man will have sub
 stantially all his work done by inani-
 mate machines while his brain directs.
 But Dr. Hale's prophecy may disturb some of our superficial economists who have already wept over the inaugura- tion of the era of machinery. What is to become of the laborer?" is their plaint, as it was of those who melted riots early in this century against the | of machinery for textile production. History is the answer for | the future The number of persons in textile work has not only | not been decreased but enormously in creased by the use of machines, and | scores of thousands now find employ ment in that line of trade who would not if hand labor existed to make prices beyond the reach of the masses for woven fabrics. Every new machine may temporarily dfsplace five work men, but in the end it employs fifty. Fifty years ago the typewriter, the 'saIeslady,'' the lineman, the engineer, the fireman, the motorman, the grip man, the telephone girl, the brakeman, he electrician, the elevator boy and a Cng list of occupations did not exist. f. is not often realized by many people hat modern conditions have multiplied occupations and trades to a degree ,reater than any otner increase of the | century. So it will be in { he next. As the burdens of humanity decrease the wealth and wants will in rease, and with them the avenues for T york. The changes may cause suffer- g ng to the few for time but will be the 3 oon of the many ultimately and the C cry classes who dread such predic : ions as Dr. Hale's the most will be i he largest gathers. |

While we think Bishop Potter's now famous speech about the saloon as the poor mans club was injudic.Ous in it's phrases and tendencies, it is only just to say that many of the denunciations of his alleged description of the drink ing place as a social necessity are predieated upon a garbling of his words. Though we have not the bish- ops exact Ian ngu8ge before us, his po- sition maybe fairly stated as some thing like this: The saloon, or some thing to take its place, is for the poor man social necessity, and until we provide that something, the saloon will continue to exist" There is much to be said on that side of the question, so put, but the weakness of the argument, in view of good many people, consists in the proposition that there is any ''so cia1 necessity" for either poor or rich man outside of his home circle, which of course includes rot merely his do- micile, but any place of amusement or recreation to which he will take his household.

He Warns the Democrats But They
 Don't Heed Him.

"A prophet is not without hon0r save in his own country and house"--in his own party and state. Henry Waiter son, after a careful survey of the politi- cal situation, tells the democrats that if they repeat in 1900 the folly of 1896 and:
 Reproduce the ticket and issues of that year with an anti-expansion plank added there Twill be nothing left for the mourners to do after the event ex- cCpt to close the open grave and plant some flowers above the last remains of the democratic party, with the legend Gene to meet the federals and whi5s.'" |"

If there is any one who still doubts that 1898 was a prosperous year, the following concise statement of the rec ord in various lines of business, made by the St. Paul Pioneer Press, which are fundamental and Indicative of com mercial activity ought to be convinc- ing. It will also help us to get a proper grasp of the immensity of the prosperity wave that has struck the country. The comparison in every instance refers to the United States alone:

YELLOW FEVER
AT HAMPTON
Forty Cases in Soldiers
Home.
The Situation Admitted to be
Serious-A Rigid Ouaran-
teen Established at
Other Points.

Newport New, Va, July 3d.
Thi rty cases of yellow fever in the
Soldiers Home at Hampton and ten
deaths in the proceeding day is the
startling report that come from the
reservation Sunday night.
1t was learned from an official
source late yesterday evening that
there is no doubt regarding the
nature of the disease. 1t first ap-
peared in the home nearly a week
ago, but the physician were in doubt,
and did not decide until yesterday
that it was genuine yellow fever.
AS soon as it was definitely deter
mined that the dreaded scourage
was raging in the institution, steps
were taken to protect the public.
The cars were prevented from rum
ming within half mile of the reser
walton. 1t is feared however, that
much risk has already been taken, as
there were two or three excursion
from the interior yesterday which
spent the Sabbath on the beach an1
In Hampton.
The health authorities have taken
steps to battle with the scourge, and
1T is believed that they will be able
to haudle it successfully. There
were seven deaths Saturday and
three Sunday, but it is said that all
OF these were not from yellow fever
More than 1000 veterans of the
Civil war are sheltered in this home.
When this fact is considered, the
seriousness of the situation may
readily be seen.
The Old Point hotels are prac
tically deserted.
1t is believed that the fever will be
confined to the place of its origin,
as everything that science or disip-
line can do has been and will be
accomplished.
Newport News and Old Point are
believed to be safe.
The Marine Hospital officials are
astounded at the presnce of yellow
fever in that locality. The last
epidemic of the disease occurred at
Norfolk in 1855, having been brought
into port OH the steiner Ben Frank
lin on June 9TH of that year, and in
the epidemic which followed there
were 1,S07 deaths.

ON THE WAR.
1T Is Not in Behalf of Liberty,
But Against IT.

But Against It.
During a recent visit to the far
West, as late as May, Colonel Inaer-
soil was asked for his opinion pu b.
licly on the war in the Philippines.
The following was his reply:
81 have one sentiment for the
soldiers-cheers for the living and
tears for the dead. If it,were meet
to weep over the sacred dust of the
brave who died to render our flag
stainless and keep it in the sky, it is
now in order to food the graves of
the boys who are falling in the
PHILIPPINE Islands For they are not
fighting to add lustre to Old Glory
or to save the Union, but as mere
machines at the behest of Admins
tration, which, for the time being, is
the Government of the United
States.
'War with Spain, for which the
volunteers took up arms, has long
since ended. Congess has not de-
clared war against the Filippinos
nor voted money to carry on a for
eign war of conquest. Then why
this thunder of guns. the flying
thunderbolts of hell and these new
made graves as numberless as the
stars? 1t is war not in bhalf of
liberty, but against it. Our arms are
not adding glory to the flag, but
instead are staining that starry en-
blem of freedom with the blood and
tears of the people fighting for the
rights of self-gOvernment. The
soldier is not to blame. 1t has al
ways been considered a glorious
thing to die fighting for truth,
liberty and eternal right But when
one falls in the PHILIPPINE War there
burns no halo of glory above his
sad, untimely, uncalled-for death
causes tears to moisten the eyes of
every patriot in the land. There
fore when he falls in such q war his
bier should be draped in deepest
mourning and drenched with the
tears of his fellow countrymen.
