NE REMARKABLE PROPHECIES,
Forecasts Of Noted Men Substantially
Realised.
New York World.

New York World.
Wendell Phillips prophesied Marconi. On
July rs, 1866, speaking in Music hall to
school children, he said:
81 expect, II l live forty years, to see a
telegraph that will send messages without
wire both ways at the same Time"
Marconis performances do not quite
realize the prediction. but they approach
it-and the forty years will not have
passed until July rs, 1905.
History records not a few OF such clair
yoyant ~utterances. In 1889 Erasmus Oar
win wrote a poem In which these two
lines are found:
soon shall thine arm, unconquered
Steam, afar
Drive the slow barge and drag the rapid
car"
This was eleven years before the first
steam tug appeared on the Forth and
Clyde canal. and nearly a quarter OF a
century before the first locomotive was
seen on rails. In one Of Marlowe's plays,
'"Tamburlaine the Great" the suez canal
was anticipated and described nearly three
centuries In advance OF its construction.
Patterson, the founder OF the Bank OF
England, In a letter written almost at the
close Of the seventeenth century. predicted
the control OF the sthmus OF Darien to
the people Of this country and their ac-
QUESTION Of Cuba and,Hawaii. Patterson's
prophecy concluded as follows:
Stationed thus In the middle. on the
east and on the west sides OF the new
world, the Engiish-Amerieans will form
the most potent and singular empire that
has appeared, because 1t will consist not
in the dominion OF a part OF the land Of the
globe. but In the dominion Of the whole
ocean"
This recalls q later prophecy OF New
York's great Senator Seward. who in 1856
declared that the last European power
will withdraw and disappear from this
hemisphere within half a century" Since
that date Russia. France. Spain and Den
mark have ceased TO be American powers.
Only Great Britain remains. and the full
nlIment OF Stewards forecast IL not due

IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION.

1t appears probable that there will be
no material changes In the immigration
laws at the present session Of congress
as to the qualifications of immigrants.
Tho belief is pretty general that there
is already law enough and that the ex-
clusion of undesirable persons as now
provided for depends ON those who ad-
minister the laws. Moreover, those who
consider the matter without prejudice
realize that the rate of immigration for
the last few years does not justify any
additional restrictions. The number OF
immigrants last year was 4S7, 91S and
it will probably be about the same this
year. 1t is manifestly absurd to talk
of such a yearly addition to our popula-
ton being In any respect dangerous or
inimical to any interests. There is
abundant room here for these people, 90
per cent of whom can safely be counted
upon to become good and useful citl-
zens, doing a share In developing the
country and increasing its prosperity.
How foolish is the fear expressed by
some of the injurious consequences Of
immigration is conclusively shown by
statistics In the whole country the In
crease in the number of foreign-born in
habitants in 1900 over 1890 was only
LOO, 900, against an increase Of native
born inhabitants in the same period of
II, 1OO,OO Who in view of this fact can
seriously believe that there is any
danger from immigration? For the
fullest development of our resources"
says the Philadelphia Record, land to
carry out the splendid destiny of the
republic, a vastly larger population than
we boast is necessary" To supply
this in part we must have immigra-
ton. OF course we want only such as
can contribute to the development of our
material resources and we shall have
none others If existing laws are faith
fully administered.

before since the adoption of free trade.
1t is at present gaining strength from
the pressure Of the colonies for prefer
entail tariffs and this pressure Is pretty
certain to increase. Canada and Aus.
tralia have for years craved some form
Of British tariff preference against the
foreigner and especially against the
United States, as the largest competitor
with the colonies In the supply Of Brit
ish food products and British raw ma
terials. Even English free trade jour.
nails have urged that the time has come
for England to view this question In the
light of the fact that the colonies are
now more than colonies; they are ma
lions" and active partners in the whole
imperial concern. Thus the preferential
tariff cause in England has become a
thing to be reckoned with and how
strong it is was shown by the fact that
the recent session Of the association of
chambers of commerce of the United
Kingdom adopted a resolution urging
the appointment of a royal commission
to consider the whole question Of inter
imperial trade relations.
Confronted by the vigorous and In
creasing competition of protectionist
countries, which are taking trade from
her abroad and invading her home mar
ket it is not surprising hat England
should begin to consider the question
whether it is wise to maintain the free
trade policy and continue the effort to
hold out In her solitary fiscal career.

OF AMERICA.

There arrived In New York a few
days ago from England the pioneer of
an interesting industrial experiment.
Mr.. Alfred Mosely, a wealthy English
man, has with the approval Of the Brit
ish government planned a tour Of two
commissions of inquiry into the condi-
tons of labor and the system of educa-
ton in the United States. The first
commission will be composed Of experts
in primary, secondary and technical ed
ucation, members of the London and
provincial school boards, county coun-
ellis, chambers Of commerce and mem
bers Of Parliament. The other is a
labor commission, consisting of twenty
five members Of as many organized
English trades.
These commissions will visit the
larger cities of this country and make
a thorough study Of our system of edu-
cation, our industrial methods and labor
conditions. The members of these CON-
missions will on their return to England
prepare individual reports Of their In
vestigations and observations, which It
is proposed to widely distribute in that
country. The protector of this unique
experiment says that he hopes in this
way to awaken his countrymen to a re-
alization Of existing conditions and If
possible lead them to change these be-
fore it is too late. 1t is a highly patri-
otto work that Mr.. Mosely has taken
upon himself and 1t is noteworthy that
he pays all the cost. That these COM
missions will learn much in the United
States that will be of value to the
English people there can be no doubt
and every facility will be afforded them
to do SO.

THE CUBAN CONVICTIONS.

trial or to annex a few Cuban courts for
work in this country.
Philadelphia Record: The penalty has
wisely been made severe enough to demon
strate a determination to protect the de-
pendent communities which may for a
longer or shorter time be under American
care from official malversatlon. OF the
guilt of these men no doubt existed.
Springfield Republican: It was a long
time to wait-about two years-but now
that Medley, Rathbone and Reeves have been
sentenced to ten years each In prison, with
heavy fines, by the court in Havana, there
is nothing to do but express satisfaction
over this happy termination of the case.
Chicago News: Neeley, Rathbone and
Reeves have given the Cubans an example
Of just the kind of political corruption
which this nation has tried to prevent in
the island government. 1t is not desirable
that this government should deal with them
any less severely than would the Cubans
themselves.
Indianapolis News: 1t is to be hoped
that nothing will interfere with the SEN
tence. AS matters stand few things could
have happened better for the credit of this
country in the eyes of the world and in our
own eyes, which is the greater thing. than
that these men who robbed the helpless
land in our name are Justly punished.
New York Tribune: In convicting Rath-
bone, Medley and Reeves of postal frauds in
Cuba and sentencing them to Imprisonment
for ten years and heavy fines the island
court has done itself signal credit and in
creased general confidence in the stability
OF the political institutions which the
people Of Cuba are about to establish. The
crime committed by these men was pc
culiarly cdious.

PROTECTION SENTIMENT IN ENGLAND.

That there is a growing sentiment in
Of free trade is shown in two contribu-
tons to the current number Of one of
the leading London magazines. One Of
the writers declares that the frank and
file of the conservative party, predOmi-
nant in influence to a degree unprece-
dented In our history, is almost to a
man prOtectiOnist; among its leaders
only one retains the reputation OF "A
convinced free trader" He ascribes the
change to the logic of events, specifically
the commercial advance Of the United
States and Germany, and expresses the
opinion that If the free trade policy has
not collapsed in England the develop
ment of China by European capital and
breaking point.
1t is pointed out that the powerful or
ganized trading and capitalist interests
are plainly leading toward a general
reversal of the fiscal policy of the last
half century and that a combination of
political and financial necessities has
gathered in the last few years which
will compel the abandonment Of free
trade. One of these writers argues that
the empire will require a heavy increase
OF normal revenue, owing to the in
creasing naval and military expendi-
lures, and that this must be raised from
sources other than the income tax; that
the bulk of 1t must come from indirect
taxation from customs. THE great
areas of Internal free trade" says the
writer, which we term France and the
United States, represent the rule in
modern history. 1t has long been doubt
full whether Great Britain could hold
out in her solitary career. 1t is now
tolerably certain that she will collapse
to the inherent logic which binds im-
perialism TO protection"
While the abandonment Of free trade
by England is not likely to happen in
the near future. If It ever shall, there is
unquesuOnably a stronger p~rotectiOnist
| feeling in that country now than ever

SECULAR SHOTS At THE PULPIT.

Chicago Record Herald; New York Epis-
coplians think Bishop Potter's salary OF
a year is too small, so they are
going to raise It and build him a $780, 900
residence. Being a bishop isn't so bad
after all.
Philadelphia Press: A Kansas minister
is to be tried for heresy because he SLAM
dered the wife OF Cain. II is bad enough
to speak Ill Of the dead in any case, but
when the person maligned is a lady some
thing ought really to be done about 1t.
San Francisco Chronicle: The British
governor Of Bermuda is said to have pro-
hioited the circulation of any more pamph-
lets OF the Psalms among the Boer prison
ers there by the American Tract society, on
the ground that they keep alive the fight
ing spirit Of the burghers. What next?
Philadelphia Record: For every vacant
chaplaincy in the army there are scores
OF eager applicants, and the number OF
candidates for every commission as staff or
line officer is However. to the
appeal to young doctors to serve in the
regular army there is no such enthusiastic
response. For the sixty-four vacancies
there are but ffty-four applicants.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican: The
shelving OF the time limit by the Methodist
brethren is having marked effect in this
locality, and doubtless other sections. in
relation TO the shifting about Of the pas
tors In olden times such a thing as a

tically unknown. Today. while theoretically

In the Methodist body, in effect churches
are calling pastors, and pastors accepting
declining such ~"calls'' as in other de-
nominations. There is always the proviso
that the presiding elder and the bishop
shall agree to the call" but in nearly all
cases the elder of the district and the bishop
are willing to please the two narties.

The call for the Illinois republican
state convention makes an ~apportion-
ment of delegates giving n for each
400 votes cast for Mckinley. This Will
make a convention Of some 1.40O dele
gates, which is larger than that for Ne
braska on a basis Of one delegate for
each 100 votes, although In Illinois, as
In our own state, the constant problem
is to prevent conventions from becom-
ing unwieldy. 1t Is to be noted, too
that the standard taken in Illinois is the
vote polled for Mckinley, while In Ne
braska this time the vote on supreme
Judge last year is to serve as h gauge.
The presidential vote should have been
used as the basis of apportiOument here

FICTION IN
Modern ROmances Train the Mind for
Better Things.
New York Times

New York Times
A great deal Of modern fiction is in the
highest degree educational. Indeed II is the
f~avorite method of influencing public opin-
ion on most of the great social problems Of
the time. Some romances, though perhaps
not many, are ~epochmaking and set in mo-
ton great reform movements which could
not have been started so quickly or so DOW
erfully in any other way. Not a few OF
the romances which have exercised an i'm
mediate and potent influence upon public
opinion have In three years become clas-
sics, and thereafter are read as such by q
steadily diminishing circle. While It is
true that the average reader Of fiction seeks
only entertainment, 1t is equally true that
II his selection is good he imbibes with his
pleasure many Of the elements Of a liberal
education, and that it leaves him better
prepared for solid" reading than he would
be II he read no fiction. Too highly concen-
trated nutriment does not always nourish.
Some years ago II was found that the ami
mails in the London Zoo were becoming
NANCY and generally out Of condition. An
investigation OF the cause OF this led a wise
naturalist to the conclusion that II was be-
cause they were fed wholly on dressed
meat and needed the innutritious fur and
Gathers of their natural prey for "hlling."
When fed on undressed animal food they
got we'll again very quickly. Perhaps an
analogy to this may be found In general as
contrasted with strictly selected reading.
To promote the cause OF popular education
II Is necessary TO cultivate the reading
habit among those who lack It. II the i'm
preston should gain ground that the Car
negie libraries confined only classics and
works Of reference, and that the books
which are talked about cannot be found
there until they are forgotten. very few Of
those who should cultivate the reading
habit will be likely TO feel that they care

lies.
