A CENTENARIAN.

A man died in Denver a few days
ago aged l03 years. His name was
Adna A. Treat; he was the GRANDPA.
Their Of Judge Colburn of this city. 1t
is said his memory was splendid to
the last, and he talked of things which
are ancient history to most men, with
a tone as though the pictures passing
before his minds eyes were painted
only yesterday. AS age comes on, it
is natural for men. as the world begins
to sweep past them. to look backward
rather than forward.
This old mar could naturally call
upsome stirring scenes. He was old
Ell than the constitution of the United
States: he was Is years of age when
enough to have been a soldier under
Jackson at New Orleans: it was weeks
after both Waterloo and New Orleans
were fought before the news reached
him.
There was no sound of laboring en-
gines on land, OF the streams or the
sea. They had begun to call him odd
Man Treat" when the first known mes
sage was sent by the electric tele-
graph.
Until he was a mar grown all the
cooking a done in kettles swung on
a crane in the open fireplace: he a
AZ years of age before he ever struck
a match on his boot; at his birth all
his country consisted but of the lane
east of the A~lleghenies, and the region
beyond was as much a sealed book to
the great of his countrymen as
vas the interior of the dark continent.
There were in his childhood few news.
papers and there was little in them.
There were few books: there were few
comforts in the home-so to speak,
the rae was still cropping, and earning
a scant living by incessant toll was the
rule.
Then young men without mean mar
ried girls without means. and when
the little log home was built and the
first ten acres Of the forest was clear
ed and planted. those young couples
looked into each others eyes, and smil.
ing, pictured the joy that a theirs. '
for was 1t not clear that If they could
reclaim five acres a year from the
forest, in twenty years they would
have 100 acres under cultivation, and
enough saved to build a $500 house?
There were no strikes in those days.
The work began at dawn and in the
busy season continued until dark, but
there was no repining. In that way
those magnificent lives were worn out
in that way the foundations of the re- '

public were cemented and the struc-
lure began to grow and to take on ma
jestic proportions.
Then steam ccnie and labor-saving
machinery: then comforts began to be
found: then books became more and
more plenty with every year; then
rude toys were found for the children
on Christmas; the power press negan
its respirations. and the daily paper ap-
peared.
Then the young men began to go
west, and here and there was a daring
spirit that had gone so far that he
had actually seen the Mississippi.
When the old man had passed the
~half-century mark, it was told that
gold had been discovered away OF on
| the shore of the Pacific. Then the
years with him began to accelerate
their speed; then the commercial age
set in: with constantly increasing mo-

lived until all those whom he had
known in his youth had died; lived,
indeed. until three generations of men
had disappeared and vanished. He
must have welcomed death. All the
hands that he had clasped in his youth
had lost their hold; ali the eyes that
through the frst half-century of his
life had smiled on him had been clos
ed; all the voices that filed the all
with music for him for two generations
had grown still. He came a little be

NO WIT IN GREATEST SPEECHES.
Senator Severidge Says the immortal
Things Are All Serious. d.

In an eloquent article on Public
Speaking, in The Saturday Evening
Post of October Is. United States Sena-
tor Albert J. Beve.idge says:
at is a remarkable thing that there
is neither wit nor humor in any of the I'M
mortal speeches that have fallen from the
lips of man. To find a Joke in Webster
would be an o~tfense. The only things
which Ingersol wrote that will live are his
Grafton at his brothers grave and his IA
nous, The Past Rises Before Me Like a
Dream, But in neither of these produc-
tons of this genius of testers is there a
single tract of wit. There is not a funny
sally in all Burk's speeches. Llncoln's
Gettysburg address, his first and second
inaugurals. his speech beginning the
Douglas campaign and his Cooper Union
address. in New York are, perhaps the
only u%tterances that will andure. Yet
this greatest of story-tellers since Aesop
did not adorn or deface one of these great
deliverances with story or any form OF
humor.
The reason for this is found in the
whole tendency of human thought and
feeling-in the whole melancholy history
Of the race-where tears and grief. the
hard seriousness of life and the terrible
and speedy certainty Of our common fate
of suffering and death, make sombre the
master cord of existence. The immortal
things are all serious-even sad"

Got Him Both WAYS.

An incident which we'll illustrates the
utter lack Of reasoning power on the
part of those workingmen whose politi-
cal horizon is completely filled by either
Mckinley or Bryan to the exclusion of
all else, occurred last week in this city
at Socialist public meeting.
The speaker of the evening, after a
plain statement of the nature and OBJ
ject to the Socialist movement, and on
appeal to his working class audience
to vote for their economic emancipation,
was addressed by one of the audience
as follows:
you're all right, old man, and what
you say is true, but isn't the Republican
party paying you to take away votes
from Bryan"
The speaker turned to the audience
and asked, els there anyone here who
believes that Mark Hanna would act
ually pay any man to tell the TRUTH"
A roar of derisive laughter greeted
the question instantly.
Our comrade then turned to the origi-
nal questioner. you have declared
he said, that l am all right, and that
what 1 say is true. What is that but
admitting that if the truth is told, Bry-
an will lose votes in consequence"

Parable Of the Water Tanks.

The Parable of the Water Tank" by
Edward Bellamy, is perhaps the clearest
and most convincing exposition in popu-
lar language of the economic absurdity
and wastefulness of the profit-monger-
ing system ever published. Obviously,
if the workers only receive one-half the
value of the articles they produce-and
the share of labor alike in field and fac
tory is really a good deal less than that
they can only purchase to that extent
from the great storehouse of products;
consequently there must always be a
tendency to what is called "over-produc-
tion." The more industrious, energetic
and economical the working classes are.
the sooner will a large stock of goods
of all kinds accumulate, which cannot
find a market, because labor (by far the
largest consuming calss) only receives
81 for every 81 represented in the value
OF the products. When the tank is full.
according to the parable-in other words
when the market is glutted and the
warehouses are full of goods for when
there are no purchasers-there is no
more work for the water carriers-that
is the workers. Consequently, they are

INTERESTING CONTRIBUTIONS.

The Representative calls the attention
of its readers to the explanation of the
poem, Coming Events Cast Their
Shadows Before" which appeared in our
issue of August 2.
In the classical course at Muskingum
college, New Concord, Ohio Mr.. Hunter
was a classmate of William r. Harper,
now president of the University of Chi
cago and of Thomas A. Smith, profess
sor of mathematics in Beloit college,
Beloit, Wisconsin. He is a civil engin-
eer by profession and has travelled ex-
tensively over the United States, Mexico
and Central America. He Is well vers-
ed In law both of the United States and
Of Mexico. He is q thorough musician
also. He recently showed the Repre-
sentative very fine piece of music
which he has lately composed, to which
some unwritten history of the rebellion
will be set. The title of the piece will
be Zone Victory Like Malvern Hill"
During the campaign of 1896 he worked
in Kansas, and this fall he expects to
work in this state.

THE ENGLISH MARKET.
II Feels the Contraction OF the Cold
Semi-Panic Gloom and Listless-
ness Dominates.
BY Cable From London, July %.

The Bank of England had>ao option
but to raise the rate to per cent last
week in view of the imminent demand
on the market for 100000 pounds, for
the South African war, the comparative
weakness of the gold reserve, which has
fallen 3 per cent, and the prospective
drain from holiday harvest require
ments.
The market has fully responded, as the
quotation of the best three months bills
is now 3B per cent.
One satisfactory feature of the money
market is that American exchange on
London has risen, 80 if the value of
money here further advances gold may
be shipped from the United States.
: oemi-panic gloom and listlessness
dominate the stock exchange. Consols
receded IN on the week, the khaki loans

are so low already that they cannot we'll

upon to explain" how It happened.-In-
dustrial West.
Mr.. Bryan might spend some OF his
time and talent in explaining why no
mention was made in the Kansas City
platform of the income tax. Nothing
was said about civil service reform.
No plank declares for public ownership
of public utilities and no solution is
offered for the trust problem beyond
those measures already tried and found
Intellectual.
We imagine that fully half the cam
paign efforts Of Democrats will be re-
quired in patching up the weak points
in their Tammany-dictated platform.
When Bryan gets his Kansas City
platform so patched as to be acceptable
to thoughtful and intelligent voters it
will read so nearly like the Cincinnati
platform that even Bryan will be
ashamed of the imitation and will be
ready to become Populist. Direct
legislation without any "buts" or Ifs"
and public ownership of monopolies are
the avenues, and the only ones, that
lead to genuine reform and the sooner
Mr.. Bryan sees this the sooner he will
quit wasting time on dead issues.
