are being aroused to the Importance oil
the occasion and the magnitude OF the

kinds OF grasses, her marble and rock

and live stock, her natural curiosi;ies
and wonderful relics, all clothed in the
mystic veil Of her almost mythical his
tory-the glory of san Jacinto and the
story of the Alamo-TeXas products
and Texas people will open the eyes OF
staring wonder and win the admira-
ton of an astonished world. Not only
our state pride, but our interest should
spur us on in this matter. The adver-

A Century's Experience.

The oldest Democrat IN the country IL
Capt. lothian johnson OF South Durham,
Nj born sept. 20, 1884. who voted for Jeiier-
son and every subsequent Democratic can
didate, and who hopes u live long enough
10 vote for Grover Cleveland.
What an interesting fund of history
is inclosed In the life and experience Of
this old gentleman. In the political
world lie has witnessed, perhaps par
tlcipated In, revolutions and ev0lutioGs
OF parties, making epochs In American
annals Asa Democrdt-or RepUbli-
can, for by that name the present
Democratic party was known in JEFF
fersons time-he voted for the author
Of the Declaration of Independence,
He saw the Fedcralis,s pass the alien
and sedition laws, and Immediately
thereafter the dissolution of that party.
The war with England, the Mexican
war and the rebellion al came under
his personal knowledge. The fierce
struggle between Jackson and the
United States bank, and the final vic
tory Of the president, the extinction of
the public debt In 1896, are incidents
within his personal experience, He
has lived contemporaneously with
Jeiierson, Clay, Webster, Calhoun,
Randolph, Jackson and all the mighty
men who have directed the destiny
of the country, and won the adj
nliration OF the world by their
genius, eloquencc, learning and pa.
triotisn. He has witnessed the
rise and disappearance OF two political
parties, whila his own has remained
monument ID the endurance Of Demo
cratic principles. In his capacity OF Il
citizen he has voted for Jefferson,
Monroe, Madison, Jackson, Van Blu
rem, Polk, Lewis Cass, Pierce, Buch-
anan, Douglass, Mcclellan, Seymour,
Greeley (perhapsl, 1ilden and Han
cock. He has seen In the latter years
of his life, the American people de-
frauded of their rightfully elected
president and usurper administer the
laws of the country for four years.
In his time he has seen the country
grow from thirteen states and an in.
significant strip of territory to thirty
eight states and nine territories,
bounded only by the Atlantic and the
Pacific, the st. Lawrence and the Rio
Grande. Cities of half million
population are now the centers
OF trade where he has known

home In Maine to San Francisco i'm
one week, and notify his family AT
home OF his safe arrival In an hour,
when the same journey, II II had been
at MI possible, would have required
the better part of year in his youth.
New things and new manners greet
him Oh every hand, for In his lifetime
of II century he has passed from one
life to another. Amidst all this change
md dissolution he has remained con.
slant to one party and 10 one princi.
ple--the government of the people by
themselves. His life at best can be
