In Touch With the Revolution.

Few stop to remember how near we OF
today stand to the revolution that broke
the chain of empire that bound America
to the domain Of King George Ill, OF
England. 1t is now one hundred and
fifteen years since treaty of peace was
signed at Versailles, France, between
England and the colonies, which also
recognized the independence of the
thirteen original states and put a new
government on the map Of nations.
Although almost century and Il quar-
ter have been buried beneath the debris
which the tooth of time" has gnawed
from the circiing years, yet we stand in
tangible conjunction with the reyOlu-
ton itself through ana by the person
alty Of men who still live in our midst.
The last week OF January this year, at
Davenport, O. Il. Barker died. He was
born in 1907 and at his death was so
years and a few days old. Whoever
may have touched the hand OF this good
and aged patriarch was placed in touch
with The war of independence itself, for
Mr.. Bakers father was staff officer OF
the continental army, being an aid-de-
camp to the illustrious volunteer patriot,
Gen. Lafayette. Though this one Of
the links of the chain of human life that
bound us to the revoluntary war is now
broken, the same city of Davenport has
two other men who reach back to the
same period, and through them we
reach the heoric men who, inspired 10y
love of liberty and the sacredness of the
rights OF an intelligent people to govern
themselves, wrung from the crown rid
den and royal governed world the divine
right to govern themselves: Hon. A. q.
Fulton and Mr. Dixon, who is a
farmer. Less than three weeks ago Mr.
Fulton told the writer that he had
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1897-02-25

visited an uncle whose home was in New
Jersey, not far from Philadelphia, dur
ing the war Of the revolution. and had
related to him some OF the incidents OF
that sanguinary struggle. Mr. Fulton
ut that time was lad OF 10 or 16. He
is now almost 80 years old, and is q
native of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Dixon was
80 years old October last, and is vigor.
Gus OF mind but somewhat decrepit in
body because OF an accident that befell
him almost year since. Mr.. Dixon is a
native Of Indiana, his father having
emigrated to that state early in the pre-
sent century. These men have been in
substantial touch with each pulsation
Of the nations life, and have lived under
every president except George Washing
ton. What a wonderful era they have
spanned with their lives! They wit
messed the introduction of steam power
as force in manufacture and COM
merce, and had grown to mans estate
before single bar Of railway iron was
made. They hailed the first steamboat
who prov made an invisible furrow in
the waters of river, lake or ocean. They
have seen the "tamed ightnings Of the
sky" harnessed for the use OF the mil
lions in lightning, heating and propul-
sion, and whose subtle tongue now
whispers through space over thread Of
steel, bearing message Of Joy and glad
ness, or of sorrow and despair While
the great west was and unknown wilder
ness under the dominion Of wild In
dams and savage beasts, they had passed
the meridian Of life. They have watched
the nation grow from a lettering infant
to be tho chief among thousand
governments. They have witnessed the
birth, triumph and decay Of kingdoms,
empires and principalities of the old
world, and the triumphant vidication of
popular government in the new. These
men have been part and parcel of the
greatest century of the worlds history
They are among the very last of their
compeers who lived in the long ago.
Soon we shall know them no more. God
bless them, and temper the winds into
peaceful melodies when they shall come
to sing requiem over the sepulchers
that entomb their mortal dust.-Dubu-
que Times. =.
