It ferns to mo certain that government til I t grow moro complex if by complexity ivo umhrstaiid tho multiplication of ita fuiit uons. "The less government tlio bet.

Tlio condi tions of our modern civilization nm iar moro complex than tiio conditions of those which our ancestors met when they niado the fedeial constitution. That constitution Is utterly iuudeqiutu to the demands of tho present, anil will bo magnified und enlarged either directly or indiieetly by amendment or interpretation to meet the growing needs of tho now Die of the, no.v century. It is absolutely certain either that the railroads' nnd telegraphs will be owiicil'nnd managed by tho state or that tho rallroadn and teleyraphs will ow n and innnugu tho btate. The question of money and tho mechan ism of exchango will turn entirely upon tho development of tho social question, which will bo pressed to a climax faomo whero within tlio present century. Tho present basis of money is satisfactory nei ther to thoso who believo In social reform nor to thoso who belong to tho conserviitlvo dement in tho present social regime. Within tho next century tlio saloon is cer tain to bo outlawed in America, and when it is driven from America, the progress of leform will sweep the earth. High llcenso tvill bo weighed in tho balance- and found wanting, and when tills humbug Is thor oughly tested nnd exposed and proved to bo u delusion and a snaro tho good will unlto in a thoroughgoing, radical, problli itory law. The punishment of criminals, it seems to me. will bo based moro and moro upon tho effort to reform rather than to Inflict pen alty. Capital punishment will be abol ished. It has now already collapsed. Wo had 7,000 nun ders last year and less than 100 legal executions. Tho sentiment of tho ago is against It, and human lifo sulTers in consequence. The only remedy seems to bo to substitute life imprisonment anil mako tho execution of law n practical certainty upon the guilty. Oiirdivouo laws must becomo uniform not only in America, but there must bo in the future nn adjustment of tho principlo of tlio homo lifo ititirufitioii.il. All inter national law is founded on tho monogainlo group of society. If Mr. Deacon fails to secure u divorco in Paris ho proposes to apply to tlio courts of America, nnd, vico versa, tho man who is interested in such proceduio may charive tho baso of opera tions. Tlio tendency for tho accumulation of wealth in a few hands must continue to increase until overt m mil by a social revo lution that will m, ike such an incrcaso nn impossibility. That revolution is certain to bo accomplished within less than fifty j ears. Great corporations and vast business ag gregations will cimtinuo to grow greater until in their overshadowing power they dispute the autlioiity of tho state, ami, liko tlio railroads and telegraphs, will bo ab sorbed by tlio state. This tendency is over whelming, and tl.ero is as yt developed no countel current to interfere witli its in evitable result. Dry goods dealers add to their general stores departments of groceries and are running out of tho market thousands of smaller dealers throughout the i iiy. It is only a question of time when this, tendency to centraliza tion and absorption will become universal in all industries, and can only end in tho destruction of competition, the establi-h-nient ot a monopoly and tho stato is tho only power 1 1. at has the right to run a mo nopoly. This tendency seems to mako tho nationalization of industry tlio certain goal of the future. Tlio condit ion of tlio laboring clashes is certain to becomo more independent as they are better educated and learn their lights and duties. Our soil iscapaliloof producing abundant food for the world in ls.i;!, but the methods of agriculture must and will bo improved, else the present population witli its natural increase could not bo sustained in lWltl. Within the next century law will be sim plified and brought within the range of tho common people, and tho occupation of two thirds of tho lawj ers will bo destroyed. At present law is n stupendous swindle. It is beyond tho possibility of any mortal man it matters not how transcendent his genius to know what the law is in America. This has produced such confusion already that n revolution in iaw is inevitable. Medicine will attain the dignity of a science, having passed through tlio period of preliminary experiment. Theology will becomo moro simple and central in its practical aims. Traditionalism will died hard, but it will surely die. American literature will tell the story of American life, and will therefore bo born within tlio next century. The sphere of music in tho church, in tho world, will be enlarged to tho bles-ing of tho race. Tho drama must bo bom again or rot of its own corruption within tho next century. Education is certain to bo broader and fuller. Wu must educate tlio wholo man the head, tho hand, tho heart. Kspecially must our methods bo revolutionized that men may bo trained for their work in tho industrial world. Dress must conform moro to common sense and less to idiotic whim. Transportation in our great cities will bo eoiitiollcd by tho cities themselves, ami Military improvements will become a leli giouswoik. Woman will attain her status of equality before the law. The servant problem is n part of tho great social problem and can bo solved only in the adjustment ot society under truer con ditions. Inventions nnd discoveries in mechanics and industrial arts will themselves form in their enlargement the basis of the new society which will bo evolved in tho new century. Pneumatic transportation in well as aerial navigation seems to bo certain in the next twenty-live .vein's. The race will he botli haudsonicr anil happier than it now is. The greatest city will bo in America. Its location will be dependent upon tho devel opment of transit facilities. If the freight of the world must bo moved over water ways, as at present, through the next cen tury, that city will bo on tlio Atlantic coast. If water transportation loses its im portance, tho great city of tho world may bo developed in tho interior. This eloes not bceni to bo probable. Tlio American now living who will bo most honored in 1003 is tiiat man who is must abused by the men of his generation and yet who lives the truth in tho noblest und truest ways. THOMAS DIXOX, Jit. A AVoiniui's View. I have here your invitation to contribute to a "Chapter of l'oreensts" concerning tho next century, but as tlio "mantelpiece of prophecy" has not fallen on mo lately I am afraid my "foieeasts" would be liko I hose of most persons only n series of wild coiijectuie.s not worth anybody's money.

Conway on tho Coming 1 ho- ology. Tho human mind, inspired by the heart. shapes in the future an ideal that survives the decay of dogmas. lie who disbelieves in the world's supernatural direction usu ally transfers it to some natural providence, which will cause right and truth to tii umph. r.ven the pessimist believes that in a world organically bad his philosophy is an exception, and that when it prevails (there is just good enough in the world for that) things will bo better. Our modern optimism buds on an old tree. An oriental poet reminds us that when thorns are green and tender the camel may browse on them, hut when old and hard they tear his lips. Consoling and nourishing at first was the ancient pious doctrine that men should regard their lotas divinely appointed and bo contented there with, but it hardened into tlio sanction of oppicssions and thorns for those who tried to improve tlio lot of tlio poor. And if tho present optimistic sentiments should pass from poetry to practice benevolent effort must bo chilled. For why should we do work which "tlio process of tho suns" is doing for us? If hu manity is progressing by a dynamic, destiny along providential or other purposed grooves, our reforming efforts nro superser vieeahlo and must decline with increnso of knowledge. Hut what we witness is tho unprecedented increase of relorming and humanitarian efforts. Whilo it has become a heresy even in cultured Christian circles to believo in a devil, the insurrection of hu man hearts against the world's tares shows iv deep belief that the tares are permitted by no providence. "An enemy hath done this." This separation between heart and head, between practical and theoretical icligion, is the pregnant phenomenon. The discov ery of evolution has revealed that wo are in n predatory and cruel world, whilo incieas ing refinement has made tho human heart more sympathetic. Tho earth has become conscious of its agonies, tectaiian parti, t ions, originated by extinct issues, yield before the humanitarian enthusiasm, which is grappling with evil as if it wero satanic, just as theology has reached the conclusion that satan does not exist, and that "evil ia good in tlio making." Thus tlio only fervid and vital religion of our time, in its crusade against evils pro nounced "providential" by theology, is left without any creed corresponding to its hu inaiiitaiian zeal. Science has taken away its devil; common benso has discredited n deity permitting evil whilo professedly hating it, and the teliglous affections can find no shelter under an unknowable which ia necessarily unlovable. A new theology must arise. Whatever traditional dogmas it may preserve, it will surrender those that imply div ino sanction of llihlical cruellies and of tho liko in na ture. Humanitarian religion is an incar nation liko that which mice led the stiller ing world to worhnip goodness and love on a cross, rather a loveless omnipotence. Tlio new "plan of salvation" means the Immun ization of tho world, including itsdogmas mid deities. When religion and theology leunito there will bo born, 1 believe, some successor to t he ancient Zoroastrian pliiloso phy of a good mind contending with, and through man's cooperation steadily sub duing, inorganic and unconscious forces cl liattiru which it never created, and for Whoso obstructions to human development It is in nowise responsible, MOXCUP.t: D.

Special. Kow that tho glorious days of Juno uro hero nnd tho number of visitors to tho ex position is dally increasing, tho thady bents to ho found nt various plncca throughout iho grounds arc nlwnys occu pied. In a letter written a cottplo of weeks ago I said thcro was seating ca pacity on tho grounds for 10,000 people, mid that this seemed to bo enough. But almost immediately it became apparent tho sittings must be increased if the peo plo were to have sufiHcnt resting place. It must be said to tho credit of tlio man agers of the fair that just as soon as they realized tho necessity of increasing theso ncconunodntious they set about tho work. Settees enough to hold W,000 more people wero nt ouco ordered, and day after day tho contractors havo plated wngonloada ol benches all over the grounds. The man ngcrs of tho fair did this nt considerable expense at a time when they scarcely knew which way to turn for money. They had exhausted heir treasury in opening tho gat o May 1 and wero in debt. For every dollar that was taken in at the gates n hundred hands were outstretched. Con tractors, supply houses, officials and even workmen wero unpaid. Tho attendance, owing to unfavorable weather and high railroad rates, was not as great as had been cVpected. Vet in the face of all theso difficulties tho managers, bo it said to their honor, did not hesitate to incur ex penditure whenever tb comfort of tho people was involved. 1 do not intend to pose as a defender of tho managers, nor us their apologist, but I liko to si e justice ilone. When ono reads in eastern papers criticisms of the mun ngement of tho fair that nro notoriously fulso and malicious it is not easy to main tain silence concerning them. It is not true that the World's fair is a great money-making scheme. If it wero tho directors would have avoided millions of dollars of expenditure would havo kept in their treasury vast sums that wero ex pended for adornment, for statuary, for public comfort, for elegance, that could havo been saved by a narrow and selllsh policy. Why, these very directors, tho best business men of Chicago, have given nnd continue to givo theit time and ener gies to tliis enterprise without u dollar o salary or direct reward. They do not stint their expenditure in any worthy direction. Come even now to tho fair nnd you will teo long lines of wagons waiting every cveniug to carry their loads of benches to various parts of the grounds. Other lines o wagons aro laden with fresh sod, which is brought in every day by trainloads, to bo u.-ed in freshening the park. A huge btreet -cleaning department waits also for tho visitors to leave the gates, nnd then works all night. Hy morning every bit of dirt and rubbish, every particle o mud nnd refuse, has been cleared away. When you como to Chicago mako an effort to reach tho ex position at least onco orHwico during your sojourn early in tho morning. Then you will see tho fair at its best. Everything is bright and clean. There is a sweetness, a freshniss everywhere which cannot bo found in tho afternoon, alter the multi tude has come. Tho managers of the fair spent rt small fortune for music. Without cost tho vis itor may hear tho finest bands nnd orches tras in tho country. Ho may sit in the shade of the palaces which surround the in Tin; sn.uiow of one ov icz great COLUJIXS. centralcourt, amid n scene of unparalleled splendor, nnd 1111 his soul with music's divine strains. An udmUsion fco is charged to some of tho special conceits iu Choral hall concerts at which famous soloists appear but every such concert is n financial loss to tho management, und is not expected to bo anything but n loss, Tho largo appropriation miiilo for music is another example of tho generosity of tho Men who lmvo mndo this fair. Perhaps you havo read n good deal in tho papers about tho Columbian guards their insolence, rashness, brutality, ignor ance. Tliero aro ",500 of these exposition policemen, and many of them weie of necessity iaw recruits. They needed train ing and experience. JIany of them wero country young mcu who sought this em ployment for tho opportunity it would givo them to see tho exposition und tho lifo which is in and nbout tho exposition. It woulilindted bo surprising if among so many men theru wero not u few whoso heads wero turned by tho excrciso of "a little brief authority," n fovv who wero iguortiut and rude. Hut in nil tlio lime I havo been hero I havo yet to meet tlio Ilrst case of this sort. Iuvatiably 1 havo been treated with courtesy by theso much maligned sentries. I havo yet to witness an instance of their humility or insolence. Two or three weeks ago even the Chicago papers wero filled with complaints of tho gunrds, but in u majority of theso cases tho facts wero that some ono had attempt ed to violate tlio rules and hud lost his temper when restrained or placed under arrest by the representative of tho law. I havo watched tho Columbian guard with a good deal of Interest. They wero iJ.&OO young men gathered from nil walks of life, particularly thoso in which tho in fluences uro net refining or elevating. As hired they wero u motloy mob, unaccus tomed to discipline und sumo of thetu ! ! ATS'f strangers to civility. Well.it is interest ing to noto how quickly they havo bsen transformed into good soldiers. Already they havo tho bearing, the repose, tho dig. nity mingled with tho consldcrntcnesa which should over characterize men who nro thrust into positions of responsibility and delegated authority. This army of gunrds has been to mo nn exposition of itself a display of the manhood of tho common people, and of tho adaptability of our young men to military service. It presents an object lesson in tho soldierly qualities of Americans, and shows this generation In a small way that which tho last saw on a grand and moro terriblo scale tho easo with which our country men may leave the plow and tho bench, tho railway brake and tho desk, tho coun ter and tho school, and becomo pnrt of nn effective, intelligent and thoroughly dis ciplined martial force. 10 would bo foolish to say these gunrds nro altogether perfect. They aro not ideal. Jut tho othir extreme, that reached by tho spirit of fault-finding which is nlto gotlur too prevalent in this country, is equally ubsiitd. Tho guards aro n credit to tho country and tlio exposition, mid they aro improving every day. Komo peo ple ask why so many guards arc necessary, Two thousand live hundred is n pretty large number of policemen for ono city, it is true, llttt it must bo remembered they havo both day arid night duty to perform. Their vigil over tho almost priceless ex hibits hero displayed never ceases. It is estimated there arc in thoexposition goods valued at $300,000,000. All these aro open 1 V A SHADY SPOT SEAR MACHINERY HALL, to tho public, and must bo protected and watched. There are thirteen niaiu exposi tion buildings and sorao eighty smaller ones. Two hundred nnd fifty guards ar needed in thogrcat Manufactures building alone, during tlio day; and HA nro sta tioned there at night. In the clay time 100 nre assigned to tho Art palace, llcsides the buildings and their exhibits tho walks and nil other parts of the grounds must bo patrolled. Study the situation ns I have dono and you will seo that 2,600 is none too large a number of gunrds for the Whito City. You must not forget that vast crowds of people como hero every day, and that it would bo simple madness to leave them without police protection. As long ns everything goes well perhaps tliero is not much need of tho presence of tho guards. But suppose flro breaks out, or there is panic from any cause? Tlieso mo tho tilings the management has had to think of. Though tho fault-finders may bo thoughtless tho men w ho are responsible for tho conduct of this great enterprise cannot nlfonl to btv. And 1 must say they appear to have thought of everything. It would require many columns to ex pose all tho lies I have seen in enstern papers concerning the World's fair. Lifo is too short to devoto much of it to this purpose. Thero are too many things hero to admire and praise. But I wish to re assure my readers on a few points. Tho fair is now finished. It is complete and porpect. If an exhibit hero and thero i3 not just as its owners or managers desiro to havo it, probably it will bo by tho time this reaches your eye; and at any rate, ull tlieso exhibits together do not amount to a drop in the great bucket. Tho fair is clean and orderly, as I have shown you. So much attention has been paid to tho comfort of visitors that every ono is ustou Ishcdat tho completeness of tho arrange ments. There are seats within tho buildings nnd without. Tho toilet rooms und lavatories aro everywhere free. There nro rest rooms iu various buildings. If ono is taken ill or overcome by heat an ambul ance service attends and a good hospital awaits. Drinking water free and good may bo had at every turn. Tliero is no ex tortion within the grounds. Thoso restau rant keepers and other providers who started out to gain riches quickly havo found they wero on tho wrong ro.ul. Tho transportation facilities to and from tlio fair grounds aro almost perfect. Xo pre vious exposition was so well served in this respect. On the days of greatest attend unco thero is no uncomfortable crowding. Let mo givo you u littlo personal exper ience that you may judge of the conditions existing iu Chicago uud at the fair. I board at the Grand Pacific hotel, where I pay only regular rates, as every ono else does the same rates asked last year and every year. This is true of nearly all tho lintels. Ono largo hotel served notice in the latter part of April It would double its rates May 1. The guests didn't complain. They did not go to tho ollico and growl. They simply said to themselves: "This landlord has tho right to chargo what hn pleases. That is his business." But on the morning of May I thero weren't a dozen guests left in tho house. A vast hotel was empty, cavernous. Cafe, bar, barbershop, bell boj .s, cigar stand, cashier, room clerk, everything and everybody had a holiday. Tho next day was no better. It was even worse, for enly half a dozen guests remained. Then tho proprietor capitulated. He camo down to his old scale of prices. Gradually his guests re turned, but even yet the house is sutleriug the cll'ects of that mistake. It cost that landlord ilO.OOO to learn the peoplo will uot bo robbed. This is tho lesson which i; great many people have learned iu Chi cago. Well.n flvo minute walk tukes me to tho Illinois Ceutral station. In two or three minutes nn express train starts for tho fair. It makes tho journey in llfteeu min utes, without stopping. The faro is 10 cents and tho cars are conitortaolo. in two minutesl walk to tho fair gates.
