■'HE WORLD WILL WAG ■ And Our Descendants Will Enjoy | Great Advantages in 1993. I Mrs. Lease Sees aßosy Future for America. The Conquest of the Elements Will Be Cantinued. _ ’T\ Horn] 'Rioter Hugo, whose birthday France has made a national holiday, prophesying of the fut A-e, said: "In the Twentieth ccn tiirv, be dwull Ro-)ty will be Famine will be dead, bat the people ! Fill livel For all humanity there will be | put one country, that country the whole i earth; few all the people one hope, that hope ail heaven!” When we contemplate the J Wonderful advances made by the world in the past fifty years, the triumphs of skill, the Inventions of genius perfected anti brought about through the forces of steam and electricity, imagination runs riot and the brain grows dizzy at the possibilities of the next century. When we remember, too, that humanity, like blind Orion struggling beneath his load to meet’ the God of day, has turned ite face toward the light strug- j gling toward the realms of thought, de-1 veloping a higher intellectuality progress- , mg in an age of ideas, we may well ex- | claim, "Ear hath not heard, eye hath not ' seen, nor hath it entered into the heart of ' man,” the wonders, changes and gigantic i progression t hat science, now in its infancy, hath in store for the children of men. In 100 years the political and social im provements of the United States and of the whole world will be so marked in contrast with the social cannibalism and pitiful wage slavery of today that the world will shudder as it reviews our time. The dec laration of American independence will be the only political platform, its inspiration the golden rule; the map of Europe will be changed, crowns will lull and thrones crumble; the divine right of kings and the diyine right of capital will be recognized as subterfuges whereby the vicious and idle livjjd upon the toil of others. The reign of juMce will be inaugurated! ■e complexity of government will dis awear, for the intricate and burdensome j 1 Bathat now obstruct justice and bewilder : the s shall beobMter jUK Th® ro l® individual action will be "*the fullest lib"rty and hi.aeat good of each 1 rompatible with the fullest liberty and high i est good of all. The railroads and channels I of communication, light, water and all i public improvements will be managed by ; 4the state in the inn r< st of the people and | owned by the general government. That i superstition of a' darker past, a fetich ! taught by selfish partisans and college bred idiots, that gold should be tlio basis of money, will disappear before the full knowl edge of tho fact that a gold basis for a monetary syst cm was a trick of the money breeders to make money scarce and dear and flesh and blood cheap. Temperance legislation will consist in every man being a prohibitory law unto him self,'and in this way only can that evil that is sb deeply rooted in the human heart that legislation cannot reach it be controlled led subdued. With the amelioration of □overly through the just distributions of profits of labor and the boun ■wous gifts df God the percent. of criminals Ktvill be reduced to the minimum, and for few who fail into evil doing because of brute in the family blood that should P have been subdued in their grandfathers th‘e state will bring all the machinery of humane power to defend and improve just tts it now brings its power of law to prose cute and brutalize. With individual free I dom and the absolute right of the whole ! people to the free use of the earth and its i resources, slavery and inequality will disap pear, one sex will have equal opportunities with the other, and woman’s dependence, the primal cause of man's brutality and sex slavery, will have become a thing of the past. ■ Marriage will be not so much a contract of flesh legalized for a fee as a union of soul sanctified by an approving conscience. The tendency toward the accumulation of great wealth in the hands of a few w ill d J crease in the next century, for the quick- I ened conscience and aroused conceptions of justice of an intelligent people will chess tuat man with criminals who holds mote of the world’s gifts than he can possibly use while his fellow beings want. The bounties of God shall not be fettered by the dead, but the earth and the fullness thereof shall belong in usufruct to tho living Great corporations and business combines, which constitute the power of plutocracy, shall be controlled and dominated by na tionalism —the creatui ■ shall not be greater than its creator. With a government "of, , for and by the people,” in fact as well as I tradition, the condition of the laboring classes will be one of comfort and independ I ence. Three hours will constitute a long ; day’s work and liberally furnish infinitely more of the benefits of civilization and the comforts of life than sixteen hours' slavish : toil will provide today. Opportunity will ■ thus be given to improve and develop those j God given faculties and aspirations that lie dormant in every human soul. Books and music, athletic game- and mental and phys- ; leal culture will occupy the time and thoughts qf a healthy, happy, godlike peo ple who/trill send out thought message- ; froitA-'A to soul, from place to place, as an | m arrow flies from the bow of the archer. ■ Agriculture will be developed by elec tricity, the motive power of the future. ; Science will take in condensed form from ; the rich loam of earth the life force or germs now found in the heart of the corn, the kernel of the wheat, the luscious juice of the fruits. A small phial of this life from the fertile bosom- of mother earth will fur nish man with subsistence for days, and thus the problems of coiks r.;;d cooking ! will be solved. The slaughter of animals, . the appetite for flesh meat that has left the world reeking with blood and bestialized humanity, will be one of the shuddering horrors of the past. Slaughter houses, | butcher shops and cattle pens will be con verted into conservatories and beds ■of bloom. Man and beast will hold life sa cred, and the vegetarians of the next ceu tury will exclaim with Goldsmith: No flocks that range the valleys free. To slaughter I condemn; Taught by that i - .ver that pities me, I learn to pity them. i The dress of the future will offer no re \ aistance to or compression of action. Be. th l ffig ever in the infinite ocean of good the ' "house beautiful” will not be prematurely decayed by sickness, distorted by pain or racked by fashion’s tortures. Vulgarity will not conceal or exp - -. "To the pure all things will be pure.” The practice of the maxim "Know thy.---li ’ will make the body honored and rcsy:.-.-.dent "the tem ple of the Holy Th:- race will be mentally ami physically L< ilt.uer. m.ppie. and handsomer bew .t □ us ..-ssci tne race, no longer de; u. i wdi be freed from 1.- ■ rt.iity. wmk- mans animality will decn '--e ! port ion to the iaprease of mentality. .. on u.saall Have the sole right to say vri; a she s: .mli wear the crown of m< ! rho ,! ata ourtg-ffsand kJwahAuuM ht> ■ and alleys shall jjg longer swarm wnu uw opaVKi e.; SKsnxst men. Improvements, inventions and startling discoveries will so crowd and supersede one another that our limited human ken can not today grasp them all. We will bear Awn the barriers between the seen and the unseen and hold converse with the disem bodied. We will travel over land and water and through the air by means of electricity, and hold communication with the in habitants of other planets, and Sunday ex cursions to the mountains of the moon will not excite comment. The center of popu lation has moved westward 500 miles in the past century, and, judging the future by the past, the greatest city will bo located on our boundless western prairies, where the almond eyed Mongolian from the orient will meet in the tide of humauitj’ pouring westward the Aryan brother from whom he separated on the plains of Asia 6,000 years ago. Where Chicago now lifts her proud spires and many storied buildings a great lake or I inland sea will surge its restless waters, j and the dwellers on its bunks will tell with ; bated breath of the cataclysm that en -1 gulfed the doomed city and rolled the I waters upon its sin and pride. Tho American now living who will be the mast honored in 1993 will be that man ■ who is today endeavoring to exemplify in I his life and teachings tho spirit and doc j trine of Jesus Christ, who is lifting from i the rubbish of the temple the book of I books, and leaving nothing undone to bring ■ about that time of which Isaiah sung and j the prophets have so long foretold. Un honored by wealtp or station, though not j unknown, he lives today for his fellow men, ■ beloved by all who meet him. Tho ripest I years of his white manhood he has been : writing justice on the nation’s page, and l this shall bo his sure reward, for “With what measure you mete unto others, it shall be meted unto you.” For ever the truth comes uppermost. As round and round wo run; And ever the right shall triumph, And over shall justice be done. Yours tor the kingdom coming, MARY E. EEASE. —, «. Cities of the Next Century. [From Our New York Correspondent.] Colonel Albert D. Shaw, who, when United States consul to Manchester, gained a wide repute, speaking of the development of cities in tho next century, said: One of the greatest cities in the United States will bo found to occupy the area be tween Buffalo and Niagara falls. I think that early in the cent ury there will be a j eityof 1,000,000 inhabitants there. It will j be one of the greatest manufacturing cities in the world. It will include practically the | eityof Buffalo its well as the towns upon i the borders of the Niagara river. This great city is to be developed through the capt uriugof the power of Niagara falls, which even today is practically consum i mated, and which from the time of the dis- I covery of this country has gone to waste. ■ This water power is to be mainly utilized i in the development of electricity, and both the Canadian and the American falls are to bo made to serve this purpose. A power will be developed there suffi cient not only to run all the engines neces sary to turn the wheels in as many factories as can be located in this urea, but also suf ficient to furnish the city of Buffalo with light and with electricity for domestic uses, and, I am inclined to think, may even pro vide power and light for cities as far away I as New York and Philadelphia on the east and Cleveland and Cincinnati and Toledo on the west. The capacity is practically limitless. Even with the great plants now estab lished on the American side and with those contemplated on the Canadian side only a comparatively small portion of this enor mous power is utilized. It has the advan tage of being not only cheap,but permanent. No drought will ever affect the Niagara falls, and the cost of furnishing power will not be d pendent upon the operations of 1 capitali-ts who control the co-gi fields. I Already there are indications of the i growth of this city. Manufacturers from all parts of the United-States are securing rights there, and even before the close of this century ve shall see a considerable city established there. Early in tho next century 1 look to see a continuous manu facturing city extending from the Niagara river to what arc now the outskirts of the city of Buffalo. Nature has done everything to favor this locality, and at last science and capital are i taking ad vai ■ age of these natural tempta ; tions. My own opinion is that during the ; next century this will become the greatest manufacturing center in the world, and men now in the prime of life will see enough, I think, to justify me in this pre diction and before many years have passed. Junius Henri Browne’s Prediction. I am and have always been a great be liever In America and everything American. The form of government is ideal, and will : no doubt meet the requirements of its citi : zensfor generations if not for ages to come. The social and pblitical condition of the country in 1993 will be, in myopinion,; marked improvement on what it is now. j It wHI tend more and more to humanity, i reason, freedom and independence of the individual. Sociali -ni, which is in the air, will steadily grow - here in a modified and ! rationalized form. There will be more ; equality in education, position and fortune. The republic will be more than ever ’ democratized. The government will be i simpler. The railroads and telegraphs i will in nil probability be owned by the ■ state and managed excellently—better than { they have been at any previous time. Legislation on the subject of temperance j will be more enlightened. There will lie no I attempt to enforce total abstinence, but ! there will be less drinking and far fewer i rumshops. Those that are permitted will ! be obliged to pay very' high licence and will I be thoroughly regulated by law. Criminals will be less severely punished ! and their number will have materially ! diminished. General education will have i greatly lessened crime. ■ The divorce laws will be the same in nil ! the states. Divorce will be freer generally i than at present, but allowed for only a few I moral causes—among them nonsupport, disloyalty, crime, intemperance and tern i peramental incompatibility. Wealth will be more widely and equally 1 distributed, and great corporations and busi- ■ ness interests will be conducted harmoni ously—on the principle of the employees ! and workers sharing in the profits. The ! conflict between labor and capital will be , largely settled in this way, aided by co i operation. As a necessary result the la- I boring classes will be much less dependent. I Food will be provided in the next cen ! tury at a low cost and without difficulty for our entire population. Schemes to ad vance the prices of tho necessities of life will have become so discouraged by public i opinion as to be no longer practicable. Law will be simplified. Lawyers will . have diminished, and their feeswill have i been vastly curtailed. The principles of i medicine will be more generally and intel ; ligently understood. There will-be much j more dependence on nature than on drugs or physicians, who will have decreased. Theology, as such, woi be little taught and will have almost no influence. Author i ity will have no weight, and faith, as re spects dogma, will be without esteem. The ; doctrine, then, will be deed, not creed. The churches, outside of the Roman Catho lic, will coalesce—will be as one. They will nreach morality only and inculcate charity THE AUGUSTA Cl IRONIC! E, APRIL 26, 1893. American literature win snuiu sc tift head of English literature. The drama will be its best and most accepted form. The social and political status of women will be on a par with thnt of men. They will enjoy the elective franchise. The servant problem will have adjusted itself to the needs of the community, and will have ceased to be an injustice and a tor ment to householders. The race will be handsomer, healthier and more contented—through increased ed ucation, knowleilge of science and human sympathy. JUNIUS HENRI BROWNE. The Developmeut of the South, [From Our New York Correspondent?] Mr. Samuel Barton, who is a nephew of Commodore Vanderbilt and the broker who executed many of his orders when Jay Gould and the creator of the Vanderbilt fortunes were engaged in a contest for the possession of the Erie railroad, in speaking of the development of tho United States in the next century, said: It is my opinion that there is to be a won derful development of the resources of the state of Florida in the next century. Our people do not understand what a magnifi cent territory that is. It will become not only the groat 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 tho beginning of the next century a 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. 1 thiuk 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 I look to see the islands in the Caribbean sea the re sort of those who seek fashionable pleas ures, for there they will find much greater natural beauties than are to be enjoyed 01 the shores of the Mediterranean, and then is none of those distressing mistrals which sometimes make life miserable ut these Mediterranean resorts. I doubt whether the lower part of Flor ida will ever be drained so ns to make tha* 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 a ditch as deep and broad as the Mississippi river. Farther north, however, I think wo 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 l>o so in creased that the orange district, especially upon tho east coast, will practically furnish the United States all the oranges tho 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 I think I am not making a wild prediction when I say that in the next century the value of Florida to the United States will be of more commercial impor tance than arc some of the states in which even bonanza mines have been discovered. Professor David Swing’s Guess. It is almost certain that tho 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 ico and Canada will then be in tho North American republic and will furnish homes for many nuw millions. The American president will bC clecrtsl for six or eight years and will not be eligi ble for a 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 190 miles an hour, but the best of passenger trains will ruu 130 miles an hour. It is not certain that steam will be the, form of power. New powers are liable to be discovered. One cent a mile will be full fare. Considerable traveling will be done by the air route. The fact that air is an ocean which will float a man settles the ques tion of aerial navigation. Mau is sim ply to invent the kind of boat. It must be very large and strong. It 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 a wire one-quarter of an inch in diameter will hold and guide many bal loons 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 bo 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 will 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 pler-and the conduct of men more honor able, for each hundred years make man and woman less of a 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 a vast impulse and guide in art, ethics, benevolence and worship. Great calamities will come la the form of pestilence, earthquakes and civil strife, but they will not much impede the progress of the nation. .Washington and Lincoln will still be most honored names because n< other two minds can ever again find two such tasks to be performed. DAVID SWING Bearded women have existed at all peri ods of the world’s history. Even llerodo tus, the "Father of History,” gives us an account of one Pedasnes, "who lived above Halicarnassus, a priestess of Minerva,whose chin regularly budded with a large beard whenever any public calamity Impended.” An Easy Settlement. “The last time I saw Trotter he was deeply in love with two girls. How did ho settle the matter?” “Oh, easily enough—only one would have him.’’—Vogue. / Two of a Kind. Training will do many things, but it has seldom brought together two such incongruous mates as in this story. Little Barbara had been sick, but was convalescent. “Are you my doctor?" she said, wak ing up suddenly and finding a strange lady at her bedside. “No, dear,” said the strange lady, “I am your trained nurse.” “Ah, that’s better,” exclaimed the lit tle girl. “I shall-like you very. much. nurse,” she continued, pointing to a cage hanging near the window, "let me introduce you to my trained canary.’' —St. Paul Globe.
