THE LABOR PICNIC.
Goodly Gathering OF Working
men, their Families and Friends
at Padgitt's Park.

When NEWS reporter visited
Padgitt's Park at noon to-day he
found some two hundred people gath
cred to enjoy the picnic given under
the auspices of the various labor or
CARNATIONS, and listen to speakers
who were to address them. They
constituted neat, respectable, con-
tented and substantial looking crowd
with the bright faces Of their wives
and little ones lending more CHEEKY
aspect to the scene. There were
many visitors from the country, farm
ers who had quit the cotton fields to
come in with their families, and enjoy
one day of we'll earned rest and re-
creation.
The speaking commenced shortly
before noon and the orator of the day,
II. L. Ring Esq. of Houston, was in
troduced TO the audience by Frank
Grady Esq. The News is forced to
close its report too early to permit an
extended report of Mr.. Rings re-
marks. He Is "a fluent, polished and
graceful speaker, though some OF the
points of his opening are rather
crude and unfinished as yet. He
chose as his subject, "Tax reform"
and undertook to enlighten his
hearers upon the Single tax'doctrine
which at present is being much agi-
tated in state and general politics.
He charges that modern inventions
and improvements have rendered it
possible for one man to manufacture
or perform, what in olden times re-
quired the labor of from ten to twenty
men, yet it is not ten to twenty times
as easy for a man to provide food,
clothing, etc. for his family as it was
in those olden times. Mr.. Ring con-
tends that the value of wages should
increase in the same proportion as
modern inventions economist the use
of labor.
The grounds were better filled by
the time that dinner was announced,
and that meal proved sumptuous
and bountiful one. Many well-fillel
basket was relieved of it's savorv bur-
den, to the great satisfaction of the
hungry pic-nicker. The festivities
will conclude with a grand ball to-
night in the pavilian at the park.

COL. BONNER'S LETTER.
The Reason it Does Not Appear in
The News.


Col. Thos. II. Bonner, Of Tyler, has
written letter to the Central Com
mittee in response to the invitation
to be here on the lst inst. The NEWS
made an effort to get that letter for
publication this evening, but was UNI
able to do so on account of the gener-
Gus (?) courtesy of our esteemed MORN
ing contemporary, in whose possess
sion it has been since soon after its
receipt last evening. An enterpris-
ing paper would have published 1T
the morning after its reception. The
NEWS applied to Judge Evans and to
Secretary Connor to obtain the letter;
both assented to It's publication in
the NEWS, but it was withheld by
The Day on the plea, made at Z
o'clock this evening, that they. had
the letter partly in type and would
decline to surrender it at Judge Evans
request, so that the News could pub
fish IT. Such is the information
given us by Mr.. Connor.

Shall We Have a Creameryl

A gentleman from the East, a practi-
cal, frst-class butter-m maker, proposes to
erect and place in operation at Pullman
at once a good Creamery, provided he
shall be guaranteed at least 5000 pounds
of milk daily the year round. This
would require the product of about $50
common COWS, and there is no reason why
our farmers could not supply the
amount. The butter manufactured by
the gentleman mentioned we personally
know to be A l always, commanding a
good price, and under his management
the Creamery would unquestionably be-
come popular and prosperous institu-
ton. Every farmer, or other person,
who will supply milk for the purpose is
earnestly requested to notify the HER
AID, or the Fariss Bros. pullman, Civ
ing name, location, and the number of
COWS, with their probable yield, which
he will contract to furnish. Yearly con-
tracts will be made with all at the uni
form rate of $100 per hundred pounds
of milk for the first year; the second year
the price paid is likely to be higher. AS
three gallons equal 25 pounds in weight,
you can figure out whether the sale of
your milk will be profitable to you or
not. The town and all adjacent country
would be large gamers through the es-
tablishment of this Creamery, and the
HERALD sincerely hopes the responses
will be immediate and numerous enough
to justify the early erection of the build
ings. Let us hear from you, gentlemen.
