The funeral OF Hon. Ebon @. Ingersoll
brother OF Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll,
took place at his residence in Washington,
d. c., June 9, 1879 The ceremonies were
extremely simple, consisting merely OF
viewing the remains by relatives and
friends, and a funeral Grafton by Colonel
Ingersoll A large number of distin-
euishcd gentlemen were present. Soon al
ter Mr. Ingersoll began to read his elo-
quent Characterization of the dead, his
eyes filled with tears. He tried to hide
them behind his eyeglasses, but he could
not do 1t, and finally he bowed his head
upon the dead mans coffin in uncontrolla-

Doves Evidence.
Atlanta Journal.

Atlanta Journal
| One OF tho most important witnesses
who has testified before tho National in
dustrial commission is President Dove o
the Commercial Travellers National league.
Mr.. Dove is an intelligent man and hos
given much study to the trusts and their
operations.
lie finds that the trusts have injured
very much the class of citizens who COM
pose the organization over which he pre-
sides. More thar $4,000 travelling safes
men have been fhrown out OF work, anu
2S,Om others have had their salaries re-
duced by trusts The loss OF salaries rep
resented b. these figures Mr.. Dove esti-
mates at $50, OOo,o0o year.
In specifying M. Dove said that the
tobacco combines dispensed with 5000
sales men, the baking powder trust has
retained only half a dozen, the bicycle
trust will throw out 500 and the chair
trust 500, the rubber trust has dispensed
with 300, the sugar and coffee trusts have
thrown out 1900 the tinplate combine has
got rid of about 80 out of every 100 sales
men-and so on.
or course, the trusts have reduced their
expenses very greatly by dispensing with
the services of so many employees and
their plea is that they are thereby en-
abed to sell their products to the public
at n lower price than before This Is one
of the most common trust arguments, and
it deceives many persons.
Mr.. Dove goes at it straight, however,
and shows what a fraud this contention
is. He says that the trusts have raised
the price of nearly all their goods, sugar
and coffee excepted from 10 to 100 per
cent. He instances the following ad-
vances

1t may be that the democratic party
can not win in 1900 with william j..
Bryan as its standard bearer. because of
aggregated capital being against him. but
the Times is thoroughly OF the opinion
that the democratic party had far better
suffer defeat in 1900 than to shelve Bryan
and make any other living man its standard
bearer, because he is n platform within
himself that any American potriot can

this class. What 1t lacks in mechanical

while others-the more thoughtful ones
are confronted with the query of what to

these lines. He writes the weekly history
of Wallisville and surrounding country,

Brazoria County Democrat (Angleton).
1t is wondrous strange to n South Texas
hay maker that he gets only about one
half as much for hay as the North Texas
farmer does for a product no better in
quality. Hay out in Brazoria county from
meadow as much as two years old, Is as
fine as grows anywhere In the State, and
why this unreasonable discrimination in
prices. Hay should be classified as other
crops-corn, cotton, rice or oats. Most OF
the hay this season will be harvested from
meadows and should not be rated with the
first cutting on open prairie. The weather
has been fine for hay making and our
farmers are bringing in some as bright,
dry and sweet new mown hay as ever of
fered on the market at Forney. The hay
makers of Angleton will place on exhibit
ton n carload of this seasons crop and
challenge any North Texas community for
ctE.Tarson in color flavor. purity and
rutritive properties. Any hay dealer will
occasionally get hold of a quantity of
coarse. stemmy, widowed, worthless stuff
that can be sold for the South Texas
brand thereby creating the idea that all
the coast country hay is Of the same
quality. We can see where selfishness
might come in and make vast difference
in prices by substituting locality for quail
ity. If consumers will ship direct from
farmers they will get all advantage in
price and can at this time get very fine
article. The hay makers should make an
exhibit at Houston of both the North and
South Texas product, and II we have as
good quality We should have fine price.
