A PROPHECY.
Washington to BE the Most Splendid
City of the Earth.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
BY authority of a Senate resolution,
passed in the brief special session last
spring the committee on the District OF
Columbia has been preparing plan for
the development of the present park sys-
tenn of the capital. Under authority, the
committee sent abroad on a tour of in
spection it's three architects, D. S. Burn
ham, F. l.. Olmstead, jr., and Charles +.
McKim. They studied the great capitals
of Europe for hints Of park development
and architectural groupings. Their report
is not vet forthcoming, but Mr.. Burnham
has told the Chicago Chronicle that prac-
tically no. departure need be, nor will be,
recommended in the establishment or the
capital from the Singularly broad ana re-
licitous outlines OF future seat or gov
ernment drawn over one hundred years
ago by PEnfant and approved by Washing
ton. Mr.. Burnham says: The commission,
after having viewed every great or beautl-
full capital in Europe, and deeply studying
every problem which each separate capital
presented, returned home with the settled
conviction that the general plan for the
LAYING out and utilizing and beautlfylng or
Washington. commonly credited to I'm
fant, but historically as much George
Washington's as rEnfants. must be adopt
ed in order to secure the best results
from the artistic labOrs and the eXpendi-
ture of money which are now proposed.
The outlines of that plan are as fitting and
accommodating now as they were in 1900
or 1901"
According to Mr.. Burnham, new land
scape features will be devised in carrying
to completion the present system OF streets
and avenues, to bring water into the city
to supply a projected group Of fountains
and to indicate proper sites for statues
and additional public buildings. The Ana,
costa river is relied upon for this, ana
there is already talk of fountains sur
passing Versailles and equaling Rome
The present growth and Importance OF
the city, more especially the place of the
nation among the worlds nations, justif1es
the present preparations to make of the
capital city as fair spot as ever shone out
upon an astonished world. The present cap
itol is pronounced by experts the finest
structure Of the kind in the world, while
the Library fascinates all beholders. The
older public structures, like the treasury
building for instance. cannot be improved
upon and when the city is filled out and
embellished it will be a marvel 1t Is a
most beautiful city already, but those in
charge say that as yet only commence
ment has been made. During the present
century 1t will become city of palaces,
statues and fountains, and be a very
splendor Of the earth.

various cases, but as to the desirabiiity of

Not Required to Join the Army
1t is not required that those who ioin
the coloney should be members of the Sal
Vation Army. 1t Is required that they
shall be Christians and they are expected,
though not compelled, to attend the church
services, which held twice week in
the colony school house. 1t may be said
that nearly all those who have come to
the colony have soon Joined this church,
as in a little village community like this
the church is the principal social organiza-
tion. Owing to the smailness of the farms
and the intensive manner of farming, this
colony is like a well laid out village, rather
than big farming region. This serves
two admirable purposes. 1t requires less
money as an investment and the profits
are much greater in intensive farming
and the village life prevents these people
from being lonely. Most of them come
from thickly settled communities of the
tenements of cities, and are of gregarious
habit. To put them at once out a lonely
prairie, far from neighbors would in nine
cases out of ten, doom them to failure.
From any part of their little fields how
ever, the land is now laid out, they can
see others at work, and 1t is but mo-
ment's walk to the village store, where
they can meet and talk with their fellow
men.
1t has been found, Of course, that those
who were ignorant of farming at the start
had to be instructed and encouraged in
their efforts. About many Of the houses
there is evidence of slacknesS and shftless-
ness, but it could not be expected to be
otherwise. Nearly every one Of these set
tiers will this year make, a payment to
the army, which will cover all interest due
and possibly one-tenth of the principal
sum in which they indebted.
The Atchison railroad has taken great
interest in this enterprise, carrying out

Beginning of the Work.

Beginning of the Work.
The first year twelve families were
brought from the east the heads Of three
OF these families had some knowledge of
farming the others were typical inhabit
ants of cities, whose knowledge Of nature
was confined to that gathered in the parks.
The second year of the colony eight more
families were brought out, and during the
past year eighteen more were added, max
ing in all at present thirty-two families.
If necessary these people. are given trans
pcrtation for themselves and their goods.
They are sold twenty acres of land at $40
per acre, and on ten years time at per
cent interest The colonist is furnished with
a team of horses, agricultural implements
and live stock. The management assists
him in blowing his land, builds him
house and a barn, and helps him with his
other work, charging the cost against his
account. With the land he secures wa
ter right from the great ditch, which is
owned by the company upon whose lanu
this colony was started. The first year
half of the settlers were not able to pay
interest upon the money advanced to them
by the army. The second year nearly all
of the interest was paid and part of the
capital account was made good. During
the third year the reduction of their debt
to the army was quite appreciaDie, and
during the coming year number of the
and interest, all CT the money they have
been compelled to borrow in the past to put
themselves on their feet. The total amount
loaned to the settlers during the past three
years was SAL 172, and about 20 per cent
of this principal has been returned, in
addition to the payment of the interest ac-
count.
The colonists now have about 500 acres
under plOw. Raising sugar beetS and cam
taloupes are the principal industries The
balance of the land is in alfalfa, Kaffir
corn and other profitable Colorado crops.
The army considers itself well secured
for the loans that are made, in the appre
ciating value of the land, and the improve
ments constantly put upon it by the set
tiers, and while it is probable that in many
cases the return Of actual cash will be
slow, it is undoubtedly true that the army
is fully secured for it's outlay. The valley
of the Arkansas river is fast becoming 4
center of the great beet sugar industry,
and land supplied with sufficient water for
irrigation purposes is in increasing demand
at fancy prices.
1t is needless to say that since this en-
terprise was organized the Salvation Army
through it's headquarters in New York has
received thousands of applications from
people who wish to join the farm colony.
There are at this moment over LOCO appli-
cations awaiting action. AS only twenty
more families will be added to the colony

lections are a matter of careful considera-
tion, not only as to the necessities in the

iron with which to repair and construct We

the theory of that road that the settlement
of the land by the man with the hoe is the
true solution of tne transportation prob
lens presented by the great uninhabited
areas of the west. To sum up the situa-
tion as it now presents itself, it may be
said that this year marks the end of the
experimental stage Of the Salvation Army
colony. It's growth in the future is merely
a matter of wise management and available
capital There is no limit to the number Of
people who will take advantage of this
scientific philanthropy, IL given the oppor-
tunity. The pressure for farm homes and
free life in a nation of 10000 600 restless
people can only be appreciated by those
who have witnessed the fierce contests for
privileges in recently opened territory. and
by those who bear the responsibility Of Sc
lecting the members of the Salvation Army
colonies. ]. D. WHELPLEY

Our Constitution.

From Modern Culture.
1t is truism of political science that
constitutions not made; they grow
There is, of course a sense in which this
cannot be said of the paper constitu-
tions'' of which the last century was SO
productive But the English constitu-
ton was never made even in the sense
that the constitution of several continental
nations have been made. Our own Con-
stitution of the United States was written
out in the convention at Philadelphia in
the year 1877, but it was far from having
been "struck off from the human brain
at given instant according to the
famous iphorism of Mr.. Gladstone. The
setting Of our Constitution down in black
and white was possible only because our
Constitution had been building a thou
sand years and because the political eX-
periences of the colonies in particular had
brought together all the necessary ele-
ments. 1t does not detract from the honor
of the constitutional fathers to say that
they had not half much to do with the
making of our Constitution as had the
great body of the English people from
Hengist and Cerdic to Samuel Adams and
William Pitt.

A FEATURE OF STRIKES.
IdIeness and Want Forced Upon Non
Union LabOrers.


From the Railway Age
One of the most cruel features of a strike
oy an organization of skilled wo,kmen is
the fact that it abandons the unskilled
iaeorers who are not members Of the union
to unaided idleness and want. With a
thousand highly paid members of the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers in a given mill there
may be three thousand or more u 1skilled
"orkmen, earning the common la aboring
mans s wages, who are not admitted 10 the
privileges and protection of the great or
sahlZation When d strike throws all
these thousands into enforced idleness the
union men are Immediately made the re-
clplents of strike benefits raised by
ieVy1ng upon those members who are al
lowed to remain at work in order to sup
port their striking brethren. But the far
greater number of men whose occupation
is taken away without action of their own
are abandoned to their fate
The union usually has more than it can
40, IN great strike, after the speedy ex-
haustlon of the war fund in the treasury
to support it's members, even for the per-
lod OF thirteen weeks, to which strike ben
eftS usually limited 1t must not take
it's children's bread and give it to the
humble attendants outside the gate of the
lodge, and their suffering must not be con-
sidered when the rights of the union are
IN contest. If, is claimed the labor
union is the expression of a philanthropic
and unselfish spirit toward it's members,
1t seems, on the other hand, to manifest
an intensely selfish and unfeelng spirit
toward humanity at large, when it votes
want and misery upon others far greater
in numbers and more needy than those for
whom they sacrificed.
Here seems to be serious defect in the
principle of trade unionism, commonly il
lustrated, which no platitudes about fight
ing for laborS rights and lighting for
our personal liberties,' can cover or cure
The reasons for strike need to be very
urgent to justify its leaders in bringing
calamity upon the many for the assumed
benefit of the few. Such reasons are con-
spcuously wanting in the present steel

part OF this constituent is contained
In the coarse particles, and so resists
