Social Life in Denver.

Socially, Denver may be called a
charming place. The security afforded
by the active enforcement of good laws
has drawn together class of people
such as is found in towns of much more
prosaic origin and greater age. Society,
in the truest sense of the word, is cos
mopolitan. There are constant arrivals
and departures. No titled foreigner
feels he has seen the Estates" if he
omits Denver, and our own countrymen
endeavor to visit the city during their
tour of the West. People of refinement
make Denver their home for a season,
and often adopt it for lifetime. 1t is
astonishing at times to notice the effect
of Western life upon natures long ac-
customed to self contemplation and es-
TEEN. It is the air of Colorado, per-
haps, that so often changes the Eastern
man, and leads him to appreciate the
truth Of the phrase regarding the gen.
eral equality which the signers of the
Declaration framed. Or, if not this, then
something else works the transformation,
and gives us, most fortunately, whole
souled being who is glad to see you
when you pay him visit, and who does
all in his power to render your stay de-
ightful.
It must not be imagined, however,
that, with all the good-fellowship, there
is not the proper amount of conserva-
tism. One is not waylaid upon the
street and presented with the freedom
of the houses he sees. Shoddyism ex-
ists-as where does it ot?-and there
is a manifest delight in certain quarters
to make lavish display of newly &C
quired wealth. But circles within the
circles may be found. and those with
the shortest diameter are the most
agreeable as well as less conspicuous.
Proper presentation means as much in
Denver as it does in New York or Bos-
ton.
The best known social organization in
the city is the Denver Club. Among
its members are majority of the lead
ing men in law, politics, and business.
Once year the club gives reception
to society" which is an event of the sea-
son.-Ed,cards Robert, IN Harpes's
Magazine.

NOT ALWAYS ABSTAINERS.

Centenarians Who Have Occasionally
Taken Little Wine for the Stomach's
Sake.
The records of centenarians prove
that many do well as total abstain
ers, but that many also do well who
take q moderate quantity of alcohol in
some form or other, and for the feeble
type of constitution which is never
destined to such length of days GER
tain moderate amount of alcoholic
stimulant is, perhaps, one of the great
est blessings they enjoy. Of centen-
arians who certainly were not abstainers
the Nineteenth Century cites the fol-
lowing instances: Cardinal de Sails,
Archbishop of Seville, died in
his 10th year in 17S5, with ever faculty
except his hearing unimpaired. He
imputed his green old age to a sober,
studious life, regular exercise, and Q
good conscience. as well as pint of the
best sherry at each meal, except in very
cold weather, then he allowed himself q
third more. Macklin, the actor, who
lived 1O7 years 2 months and 10 days,
up to forty lived, his biographer states,
very irregularly, drank hard, sat up
late at night and took violent exercise.
Subsequent to that period he proceeded
by rule. He drank tea, porter, wine,
punch, and ate fish, flesh, fowl, ETC.,
till he was 70, but he never drank to
excess. His usual quantity was seven
or eight glasses of wine. If ever he
was prevailed upon to drink more he
always took Anderson's Scotch pills
going to bed at night. This, he said,
kept his head from aching the next
morning. He was always moderate at
his meals, never abstemious. At 70 he
gave up tea, because it disagreed with
him, and took milk, always boiled, in
stead; he also had bread boiled in his
milk, which he sweetened with brown
sugar till it was almost syrup.
He was great lover of eggs, custard,
and jellies. His drink with his meals
for the last forty years of his life was
white wine and water made very sweet.
lionel Tollemache quotes two instances
of drunkards who lived over century:
Philip Laroque, who went to bed in
toxicated at least two nights every week
till he was 100 years old, and Thomas
Wilmington, who lived to 1O7, and "was
a habitual drunkard." He never took
any other liquids, as liquids, into his
stomach than ardent spirits
gin, of which compound, until within a
fortnight of his death, he took from a
pint to pint and half daily" In the
supplement of the forty-fifth annual re-
port of the Registrar General, 1885
page 36, it is stated: "The mortality
of men who are directly concerned in
the liquor traffic is appalling. .
Of the innkeepers and publicans it is
So per cent. above the present mortality
of all males" 1t is highest of all in
"inn and hotel servants"

Everybody has heard of "horse laugh"
but who has ever seen an equine gifted with
the power of speech? Such an animal
would be pronounced miracle; but SO
would the telegraph and the telephone have
been a hundred years ago. Why, even very
recently cure for consumption would have
been looked upon as miraculous, but now
people are beginning to realize that the dis
ease is not incurable. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will cure it, if taken in
time. This world-renowned remedy will not
make new lungs, but it will restore diseased
ones to a healthy state when all other means
have failed. Thousands can gratefully tes-
tify to this. All druggists.

may trust her; if the other way, she Is
certain to be stupid and incapable.

this wear, is estimated by the state board
of agriculture at 100000 bushels. The
tariff is 20 cents per bushel; 90 that the
farmers of D miphan county who raise
wheat are protected Just 100000 worth.
Do they want this protection removed.
and the price of their wheat reduced tc
that of the cheap wheat OF Manitoba?
When free traders tell you that You are
taxed by the tariff 40 much for wire, and
lumber and salt, they fail to tell you
that you are protected in your wheat,
and corn. and cattle, to make up for it.
The Chief did not intend to convey
The idea that the protective tariff Of 20
CENTS per bushel on wheat added 20
cents to the price Of every bushel of
wheat that might be raised in Doniphan
county. Prote,tionists do not hold that
the tariff adds to the price of the pro-
tected articles just the amount of duty
the tariff imposes ON them. This is,
however, the view OF the free
traders and one of the fslla-
cies upon which their system is founded.
Protectionists understand and al
ways hold that the prices farmers get
for their products, as we'll as the prices
Of the manufactured articles they buy,
are mainly dependent upon the law OF
supply and demand Anything that in
creases the supply of product tends to
make that product cheaper and does
make it cheaper. And the Chief, in stat
ing that ''the farmers of Doniphan
county who raise wheat are
protected just 100000 WORTH" in
tended to have it understood that that
amount of protection is imposed upon
wheat in their interest, because it pre-
vents the importation OF cheeply grown
Canada and India wheat, which, were it
allowed free access to our markets would
tend to reduce the price of wheat in this
country, to the detriment of every
American farmer who raises it. Canada
wheat, if not for the duty, would seek
our markets. instead of the European
markets to which it is now compelled to
go because of the tariff of 20 cents per
busbel which our government imposes
upon it,

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGNING.

OEMOCkATlD CAMfAlGNlNd.
There is no possible doubt about the
decentralization of the democracy in the
doubtful eastern states, and in Indiana
and in the Pacific coast states. The re-
publican party is gaining accessions
daily in all of them. The democracy is
disaffected and divided and OBJECTIONS
from those engaged in manufacturing
are Of almost daily occurrence. The
democratic national committee, 30 far,
seems to have been waiting for "some-
thing to turn up" before beginning ag
gressive work. At any rate apathy has
characterized it and it is being
subjected to severe criticism, some demo
Gratis going 90 far as to demand the res
ignation of Chairman Brice, who was re
Gently installed with great flourish Of
trumpets as the man, OF all in the country,
for the position. Harrison is daily meet
ing with ovations in Indiana, and the re-
publicans in that state, united and of one
mind, are at work like beavers for safe
and sure majority,
So far the outlook offers every en-
couragement to the republicans; the
democrats, on the other hand, have met
with none.
Doubtless President Cleveland's letter
of acceptance is being held over in an
ticipstion of making it campaign card
that will encourage the tagging ranks
and Offset, If possible, the i'll effects of
his message and of the Mills bill While
the president was on his fishing trip,
recently, he met Henri Wstterson and
a party Of leading democrats secretly,
and it is presumed that the subject
discussed was his letter and what
should be it's tenor for the best interests
of democracy, together with a review of
the campaign outlook generally.
There are good many speculations
as to what the president and the nation
al committee will do. It is generally
agreed upon, however, that something
desperate will have to be done,
soon.

THE TARIFF ON WHEAT.
TcPEKA. KAN, Aug. 8, 'SS.

To the Editor OF the Commonwealth.
In your paper OF to-day is an article
from the Troy Chief which makes this
attempt on the farmers of Kansas, to
make them believe that the tariff OF 20
cents per buskel on wheat puts 500. 600
into the pockets Of Doniphan county
''wheat rsisers." Please show theh, If
you can, how such is the case. when no
wheat is imported into the United States
and the farmers get only the price for
their wheat that is afforded BY the mar
kets of tho world. Supp. The tariff on
wheat wss 100 cents per bushel, how
much more would Kansas farmers get
Tor their wheat? A DAILY READER.
Our correspondent has misunderstood

CHIEF-JUsrICE FULLEK's OPINION.
Chief -Justice Fuller is of one opinion
with the president who appointed him
upon the question OF the tariff. Two
years ago he said to reporter:
II there be any one principle to which
the democratic party is committed, it is
to tariff for revenue only.
We are living under wing admins
tration to-day. II that is what the
country demands, SO be it; but it is i'm
possible for the people to assume that,
by electing democratic president, they
can prolong protective tariff.
He was righG. at is impossible for
the people to assume that, by electipg q
democratic president they can prolong
q protective Tariff" and after Cleve-
lands snti-tariff message and the Mills
bill they have ceased to indulge any
such assumption. The only way to
''prolong protective tariff is to elect
a republican president. If Chief JUS
tice Fuller is to be believed the uncer-
,ainty surrounding the position OF the
democracy upon the tariff question is
removed and the issue narrowed
to the satisfactory query: "Is q
protective tariff an advantage to
the American people," The answer to
this is to be heard in the humming Of
the mills and factories, in the millions Of
happy American homes, in the manhood,
independence and thrift of the American
workman. It is to be found in the f.
nancial credit OF the nation, in her
bursting treasury and her unprecedented
and unapproachable prosperity and pro-
grsss. But we know that the cautious,
crafty democrats who manipulate the Or
ganization will not permit Chief Justice
Fuller's'defnition of the standing of the
party to rest Mr.. Cleveland himself de-
clares that the question Of free trade in
the campaign is irrelevant. William L.
Scott and Chairman Barnum are equally
quick to assure the people that the de-
nocracy does not contemplate free trade
or what is its nearest practical approach,
tariff Tor revenue only, a. Mr.. Fuller
said. However, the presidents message
and the Mills bill tell where the party
stands, and efforts to explain them
away have not been, and win not be
successful.
