of these shares went to Mary who had

John, who had learned his trade Of

plague which destroyed between 10000 and

ancient history, but its present great

ton, so late as 1880, was less than
$4,000, and it was not incorpoi-

the statement that the Bulletin had sold
its influence to the Central Pacific
Railroad, and accordingly brought
suit for $4,000 damages against
the Chronicle. In determining the
case the Judge very sensibly said: SIS it
morally or legally wrong for person to adj
vocate project, matter or claim for pecu-
mary or valuable consideration ?" his honor
asked, and he then proceeded to answer the
question in the negative; Talent is as
much the capital of the advocate, the law
yer and the editor as merchandise is of the
merchant; he has as much right to sell his
talents as the merchant his merchandise
The lawyer, the minister, the parliamentary
advocate, the lecturer, the author, sells his
talent, and he is not the less respected for
so doing. The greater his learning, indus
try, cloquence and the esteem in which he
is held, the greater his pecuniary compen-
sation. 1t seems to me that it is no more
llbelous to accuse one of selling for gain the
support and advocacy of his newspaper
than it would be to accuse the merchant of
selling for gain his merchadise"

THE sCOEFER's KLOoUENCE
Ingersolrs Tribute to the Peaceful Rest of
the Grave


Mr., and Mrs George o. Miller buried
babe in the Washington Congressional
Cemetery few days ago, and before the
little white coffin was lowered to the grave
Robert G.. lnsersoll delivered the following
address:
My FRIENDS: know how vain it is to
sild a grief with words, and yet | wish TO
take from every grave its fear. Here in
this world, whore life and death are
equal kings, all should be brave enough
to meet what all the dead
have met. The future has been filled
with fear, stained and polluted by the
heartless past. From the wondrous tree of
life the buds and blossoms fall with ripened
fruit, and in The common bed of earth the
patriarchs and babes sleep side bv side.
Why should we fear that which will come
to all that is? We can not tell, we do not
know which is the greater blessing-life or
death, We cannot say that death is not
good. We do not know whether the grave
is the end Of this life or the door of another
or whether the night here is not somewhere
else dawn, Neither can we tell which is
the more tortunate-the child dying in its
mothers arms before its lips have learned
to form word, or he who journeys all the
ing the last slow steps with stall and
Crutch.
Every cradle asks us "Whence?" and
every coffin ''Whither?" The poor barba-
rian, weeping above his dead. can answer
these questions as inteligently and salts.
lactorily as the robed priest of the most
authentic creed The fearful ignorance of
the one is just as Consolng as the learned
and unmeaning words of the other No
man, standing where the horizon of a life
has touched grave, has any right to
prophesy future filled with pain and tears,
may be that death gives all there is of
worth to life. lfthose we press and strain
against our hearts could never die perhaps
that love would wither from the
earth. May be this common fate treads
from out the paths between our hearts the
weeds of scliishness and hate, and had
rather live and love where death is king
than have eternal life where love is not.
Another life is naught unless we know and
love again the ones who love us here.
They who stand with breaking hearts
around this little grave need have no fear,
The larger and the nobler faith in all that is
and is to be tell us that death. even at its
worst, is only perfect rest. We know that
through the common wants OF liie-the
needs and duties of each hour-their grief
Will lesson day by day until ut last this
grave will be to them place of rest and
OF JOY. There is for them
this consolation: The dead do not suffer,
IL they live again their lives will surely be
as good as ours. We have no fear. We are
all children of the same mother and the
same fate awaits us all. We, too, have our
religion, and II is this: Help for the living,
hope for the dead.

The lnter-Ocean seems to think that
President pro TEN. Davis has put too many
old men on the Womans Suffrage Commit
tee for the good of the cause. 1t says 1--WE
would like to known why Vice President
Davis appointed so many old men on that
Woman Suffrage Committee. Ferry is a
handsome young bachelor, to be sure, but
his influence will be weighed down by that
OF Lapham, Anthony and the old fellows.
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, who is the hand
soonest man in the Senate, and Plumb, and
Frye and Miller would have been more
susceptible to the sutfragers" The fact is,
no greater boast could have been given the
woman's rights movement than to compose
the committee of old men, They are pro-
verbal for their susceptibility to the charms
Of the genter sex.

WE heartily agree with the Morning

show that in the quarter ending Scptcmbe
80 he saved 81 ,2OO,0 600 more than was saved
in the same quarter of the previous year
and it is said that the quarter ending De.

than this. Mr.. Jones is succeeded by a
stick, who knows absolutely nothing of the
position which he is called to FILL"

1t is business 1t continues to develop.
Now it is well understood that the journal
which sustains itself for its characteristics
as a newspaper has no rival as an advertis-

advertising sheets, huge and preposterous
sign and bll-boards, has passed, He who
would command the eye of the public

reasons, commands public respect. A good
