Causes innumerable have united to dull the edge of busi-
ness. This is by no means a new trouble to be faced by
merchants, but a majority of them have departed from the
old method of economy and now seek to force trade by of-
fering wonderful inducements to tempt people to part with
money by offering a lc. chromo with a 5c. spool of thread;
a ham sandwich with every 18 yards of muslin; a watch
and chain with every pair of shoes; a weinewurst with ev-
ery suit of clothing. To sustain oq/reputation in the future
as we have in the past, we come tO-ihe front and offer to

Nowadays everybody has got into the habit of “Spin-

pe rs in reference to their prices on their goods : One will
offer “Presknts” to the party purchasing so many dollars
worth of goods—another will go po far as to fairly give an
article away in order to get you to buy another article.
This is all very fine as far it goes, hut you can rest assured
that, indirectly, yon pay for all you get on the so-called
“gratis principle.” Look well into this matter. “A word

OUB WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., 1
May 24, 1883. j
DEATH OF VICTOR HUGO.
The world of letters has suffered
a severe loss in the death of Victor
Hugo. France has lost a devoted
son, and humanity has lost one, of
her ablest champions. His has been
a checkered career indeed. Born in
LaVendee in 1S03, when the star of
the first Napoleon was rising in its
zenith, he lived to see it go down in
blood and disaster at Waterloo.
Though his father was an officer fir-t
in the Army of the Republic, and
then under Napoleon during the
Con-ulate and the Empire, young
Hugo wai a bora Royalist and eyer
true to the Jiuer-de-lis of the Bour-
bons. His mother was a devoted
Royalist and on the fall of the Em-
cent, and Henry
elected. Well, m
and small. Hugo
huysen is dead,
sick, so is General
Washington G
Denison Sunday G'
feeling very well.

It is reported in the Denver pa-
pers that millions of young grass-
hoppers are reported coming out of
the sandy soil on the south side of
the Arkansas river, above Pueblo,
destroying early vegetables and ten-
der shrubs. They first showed them-
selves in 1S73 in the same locality
and were carried by east winds to
Kansas, where they did such great
damage._
The Stone Cattle and Pasture
company of Gainesville have closed
a trade with a New York syndicate
for their land, stock, and other ap-
purtenances, receiving for the same
$i,6op,ooo. Thejr ranch lies in
Baylor, Archer, Wilabarger and
Wichita counties, next to the famous
King ranch. It is said to be the best
stock ranch in the state; 360,000
acres and 30,000 head of cattle.
The Indiana legislature has pass-
ed a law fixing the rental on tele-
phony boxes at not more than $3 for
a single box, and $5 for two boxes.
The* Telephone company in that
state promptly gave notice to their
patrons that they should withdraw
fronj the state unless they could
make more liberal terms with the
owpers of the Bell patent, but hoped
to dlb so. Every state in the Union
should pass a similar law. We un-
derstand the Bell company charges
$2 a month royalty on each box. If
this'is so. it is simply extortion, and
the public should not submit to it.
United action on the part of the
state legislatures, such as that taken
by Indiana, would force the com-
pany to relax their grip and give the
people an opportunity to enjoy the
benefits of the telephone system on
reasonable terms.

The Galveston News announces
T
thq early establishment of a branch
of that paper at Dallas, and we be-
lieve a number of Dallas citizens
have taken stock in order to secure
it. We are surprised at this action
of the Dallas capitalists. They
have one of the best papers in the
state at Dallas now—The Herald,
and instead of lending their influ-
ence to cripple the proprietors they
should give them a liberal support.
The Herald is strictly a Dallas pa-
per, owned and operated by Dallas
men whose every interest is centered
in Dallas, and it is hut reasonable to
suppose they will bend their every
energy to advance the interests of
their city. On the contrary, the pro-
prietors ot the News are Galveston
men, with large Galveston interests,
and if they succeed in establishing
their branch paper at Dallas, it will
Only he another leyer to work to
build up the Island City at the ex-
pense of North Texas towns. By
paying the News to publish a daily
paper in Dallas, the citizens of that
Town may succeed in greatly crip-
pling, if they do not actually break
down the Herald ; but if they pre-
fer to fly as the tail to the Galveston
kite’ we suppose outsiders ought not
to complain; it is bad policy, never-
theless.

It would be hard to iconcentrate
more vindictive meanness and down-
right falsehood in the tame space
than is contained in these few lines
taken from Our Christian Visitor,
No. 3. And this is a journal “de-
voted to moral, religious and philos-
ophic thought.” Possibly the edit-
or co nsiders such blackguardism re-
ligious, but it "Is certainly neither

ably defective.

mained a dg^oled friend of Napo-
leon, and the old artillery officer so
graphically described by Victor
Hugo in Les Miserables, who lived
a secluded life near Paris, discarded
by his friends and family, is a true
description of his father’s career,
His first1 claim to a place on the roll
of fame was in 1S23, when his first
volume of poems was published.
This was followed in 1826, by a
second volume. In France, as in no
other country, does a writer natur-
ally drift into politics. Hugo soon
fell into politics, and up to the day
of his death was an important factor
in French politics. Though a Bour-
boness yet; on Louis Phillippe as-
cending the throne of France, he
was soon one of his most ardent
supporters. This was a surprise to
his friends, but as the Orleanists
were a branch of the Bourbon fami-
ly, he found a salve for a pricked
conscience. He was raised to a
peerage of France by Louis Phil-
lippe, decorated with the Legion of
Honor and made a life senator. On
the revolution in 1848 he was elected
a member of the Constituent As-
sembly. On the formation of a
Republic he was an ardent support-
er of Gen. Caraignac, and did much
to aid him in that trying hour. He
was a bitter opponent of Louis Na-
poleon, and on his election to the
presidency, on' December 19, 1848,
he turned on him with the fury of a
panther, and then published the
story that Louis Napoleon was not a
Bonaparte at all, but the bastard son
of the Dutch Admiral Verhuel. He
published the fact that Louis Bona-
parte and Hortense had been living
apart for years, but “this however,”
said Hugo, “did not prevent Louis
Napoleon from being born.” His
most famous work of that time was
entitled “Napoleon le Petit,” which
was showing in strpng contrast the
merits of Napoleon the Great and
Napoleon the Little. He was driven
out of France and did not return
until the downfall of Louis Napo-
leon. He became then the friend
and adviser of Leon Gambetta, was
elected a representative from Bor-
deaux. He actively sympathised
with the Communists, and it was
through his intercession that Roch-
fort, Olirier, Pain (now with the El
Mahdi in Soudan) and Louisa
Michel’s lives were spared, and they
were exiled to New Caledonia. He
eventually got them pardoned, and
they returned to France.
Ot late years he has not been very
active. His domestic life was one
of simplicity, and he dies mourned
by the people of France, who real-
ize the fact that they have lost indeed
a friend. He is to have a national
funeral, though his request was that
his body should be carried to his
grave in a pauper's hearse. His
body will probably be interred in the
Pantheon, but it matters not where
his body n)ay rest, his fame as a
poet, scholar and patriot will ever be
kept sacred in the hearts of his
countrymen. On his death bed the
services of a priest were tendered
but he replied, “ though Victor
Hugo is dying he needs not the ser-
vices of a priest.” Many of his
works are perhaps unknown to the
general reader, so I will subjoin a
list of his most noted works. His
dramatic masterpieces are “Herna-
ni,” “Marian Delorme,” “Lucretia
Borgia,” Marie Tudor,” “Ruy
Bias” and “Les Burgraves.” His
novels of greater celebrity are,
“Buy-Jargal,” “Notre Dame,”
“Les Orientales,” “Le dernier-
jour d'em Condonne,” “Les Miser-
ables,” “Les Trarailleurs de la
Mer,” “L’homme qui Rit” and
“Quatre-regnt-trieze,” which was
published in 1S74. He wrote in-
numerable pamphlets and many ar-
ticles for magazines which are not
given for the want of space. In the
future he will take rank along with
Voltaire.
HON. FREDERICK T. FRELINGHUYSEN.
Death has been at work on this
side ot the Atlantic and ex Senator
and ex-Secretary of the State Fre-
linghuysen has passed away. While
not a man of transcendant ability,
Mr. Frelinghuysen was a man liked
by all his associates for his many
virtues of head and heart. He was
the nephew, and not the son (as
many thought) of the Frelinghuysen
that run for Vice-President on the
ticket with Henry Clay, in those
days whe Whigs sung,
“Hurrah! Hurrah! the country’s rising
For Henry Clay and Frelinghuysen,”
But the country did not rise worth a
peached.
But the treatment that Ross re-
ceives from the Republicans of his
State for daring to be honest is a
disgrace to that country, and this
age. He was ostracised by all Re-
publicans in that State, as though
he had been a criminal; and was
hounded after to such an extent that
he removed to New Mexico. Kansas
by her course has lost an upright,
honest and able citizen, and New
Mexico is the gainer thereby. When
Senator Ross found out that because
he dare be honest he was not in good
standing in the Republican party he
shook the dust from his feet, and
came over into the Democratic par-
ty, and he, like thousands of others,
have been the cause ot the gradual
falling off of Republican strength,
and the growing of the Democratic
strength.
The President also, appointed
Thomas H. Tipton (an ex-Senator
from Nebraska,) receiver ot public
moneys, at Bloomington, Nebraska.
This is another case of a Senator
who had to quit his party, because
he was too honest to swallow all the
nauseating things that the party serv-
ed at their table. Senator Tipton
split with the Republican party on
account of its monopoly sub-ser-
vices, and its crooked and harsh
ways in reconstruction. The loss to
the Republican party of such men as
Ross and Tipton cannot be easily
repaired. I must say here, that these
gentlemen are not new converts, for
Ross and Tipton have been with us
for teu years or more.
John Cripps Wickliffe, of Ken-
tucky, was yesterday appointed Uni-
ted States District Attorney for
Kentucky. The Wickliffe family
are too well known to require much
notice. His father, Chas. A. Wick-
liffe, was Governor of Kentucky,
member of Congress and Postmaster
General under Tyler. His brother,
Robert Wickliffe, is an ex-Governor
of the State of Louisiana. But this
appointment is noticed more from
the fact that both Senators Beck and
Blackburn and ex-speaker Carlisle
endorsed other than Mr. Wickliffe.
Mr. Carlisle came here in-person
and said that he was satisfied with
either Buckner or Fleming, and yet
neither of them got it. Wickliffe
went in, Carlisle went down. It
would seem from the way that things
are going that the Carlisle coterie
that outraged all decency by the way
they treated Sunset Cox, and the
way they acted towards the writer
tor daring to perfer Cox to Carlisle,
are not having things their own way.
If they are not careful, the nice little
slate made up for the next house
will get smashed into smitherreens.
There is not an officer of the present
house but that should be beat for
general worthliness and double deal-
ing. They do not like the way
things are going, which is plearing
to the writer, he is much pleased,
for he sees but a short distance
ahead a lot of stranded things, (not
men) who have played such high
and fantastic tricks while vested
with a little brief authority as would
make an army mule leave his oats in
disgust with the specieus. But the
day is but a short distance off, viz,
Dec. 4th, 1885, when the self-con-
ceited animals will have to hunt
other pastures to brouse in. In the
near future it will be a pleasure to
the writer coupled with a sacred;
duty to analyze the organization of
the last House, so as to avoid a rep-
etition.
THE DECAY OF ENGLISH PRESTIGE.
With nations as among individu-
als, wherever honor is put on a com-
mercial basis, there decay sets in.
England has become the hanking
center of the world, and her ships
cany* the bulk of the carrying trade
oft he whole world. For cowardice,
the equal of many has not yet been
found. The saying that capital is
timid is too mild an expression to
use. Capital is a coward, and the
fact that the moneyed capital of En-
gland is in danger is the reason why
the Russian Bear is now' so busily en-
gaged in twisting the British Lion’s
tail. If war breaks out, the shippers
of England know that flags other
than British must fly from their ships,
and if once lost, it is always lost;
hence they are willing to pocket in-
sults, provided that they can pocket
the cash along with it. During the
last few years the commercial peo-
ple of England have secured con-
trol of a greater part of the house
of commons. Members of the En-
glish Parliament are wonderfully
like our members of Congress in
this, they like to keep their seats,
and they will not jeopardize their
seats by their votes. Hence we see
the spectacle of England daily back-
ing down before the demands of
Russia. To such an extent has the
cupidity of England run, that it
would almost be a safe bet to wager
that if Russia were to demand a
JUST
greater part of India or fight, En-
gland would as at present gov-
ernment yield the point if Russia
would agree to let her have
the carrying trade to and from east
Indian ports. Now it must not be
inferred that there are not English-
men who would and want to fight.
There are thousands of them who
hang their heads in shame at the
disgraceful attilude their once proud
nation is now placed in; and if Rus-
sia keeps pushing until forbearance
ceases to be borne, she may snap the
cord, and on the rebound England
w'ould be ablaze with military en-
thusiasm. If England does fight,
she will fight to the death, hut it is
plainly seen that in a war in the far
east, all the advantages are on the
side of Russia. Russia is far more
Asiatic than European, and she
would have innumerable hosts at her
command in that far off land. With
England as with Rome and Venice,
her decline has begun, and the day
of the Hottentot on the ruins of Lon-
don Bridge may not be as far dis-
tant as was once supposed. G.

PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, ordinance 27, of the
ordinances of the city of Denison,
irovides that whenever danger of
lydrophobia may be deemed to ex-
ist in or near the city, the Mayor
shall have the power to issue a proc-
lamation requiring all persons to
confine their dogs, or securely muz-
zle them with a wire muzzle ; and
whereas, 6uch danger is deemed to
exist, therefore, I, T. B. Hanna,
Mayor of the city of Denison, by
virtue of the authority vested in me
by said ordinance, do issue this my
proclamation, ordering all dogs to be
confined or securely muzzlled with
a wire muzzle, from June 6, A. D.
1885, until October 6, 1885, and the
City Marshal is hereby instructed
to kill all dogs running
at large, contrary to the provisions
of this ordinance, and to promptly
arrest the owner or keeper of any
such dog, who shall knowingly per-
mit such dog to run at large, contra-
ry to the provisions of said ordin-
ance.
In testimony whereof I have here-
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the city to be affixed at office,
in the city of Denison this, the 30th
ty of Ma ~~

cause he sells goods for less money
than any house in Denison, and is
doing an honest, legitimate business,
giving a cent’s worth for a cent, a
dollar's worth for a dollar, and six-
teen ounces for every pound. This
is the reason why wagon load after
wagon load, both to the country and
in the city leave this leading grocery
house of North Texas and go home
with happy hearts to tell their neigh-
bors of the bargains they have re-
ceived at Burgower’s.

PLUCK AND ENTERPRISE COMBINED.
Denison Keeps Tima with the East.
Throughout the east every town
of fifteen hundred or more inhabit-
ants has its coffee.mill and roaster
and the people knowing the advan-
tages of getting their coffee fresh
roasted have abandoned the use of
Arbuckle’s, Leavering’s and many
other brands to be had in the mark-
et, knowing that such coffees are
from thirty days to twelve old when
th§ consumers gets it and conse-
quently is the poorest substitute for
what coffee is, when it can be had
fresh and new. Now Brooks &
Harris believing that the people of
Denison would appreciate their ef-
forts to give them the best of every-
thing, have at considerable ' expense
introduced a large roaster and grind-
er on purpose to give them the
finest coffees that can be had in any
art of the world and parties can
ave samples free of charge by call-
ing at their store Monday, June ist.
They have also received from a
large eastern tea house a consign-
ment of the very finest tea, with in-
struction to sell at a close price the
best tea ever sold in this city, and as
an inducement to people to use their
tea, have in-tructed us to present one
pound of fine mixed candy to every
person buying one pound of any
grade of their tea, and at the same
time guarantee the tea to be better
than any tea that can be bought in
the city at the same price. Samples
given away. Call and get them.

lection. Don’t forget the place.

Dr. LaBoy Sunderland Dead-
It is with profound sorrow we learn
from the Eastern press of the death of
Dr. LaRoy Sunderland; at Hyde Park,
near Boston, Mass. The sad event oc-
curred on the 15th of May. He met the
summons with composure and the resig-
nation of a philosopher., Dr. Sunderland
was for many months a regular corres-
pondent ot the Sunday Gazetteer and
only ceased writing for this and other
papers in different states of the Union,
when he became so feeble that he could
no longer wield a pen. He had reached
the advanced age of 82 years. The fu-
neral services consisted of an address by
our aged friend, Seaver, editor of the
Boston Investigator, and the reading of a
poem. The remains were laid away in
Mount Hope cemetery. Thus has gone
to his final rest, a good man, who devoted
his life to the advancement of his race.
The Investigator truly says:
Dr. Sunderland was a reformer of more
than half a century, and in all the efforts
during that time in behalf of mental and
political liberty, equal rights, free thought
and free speech, he was prominent as an
able, fearless and untiring advocate and
defender.
Dmatiafied.
Pursuant to a call published In the
Herald-News, there was a large meeting
of patrons of the Telephone held at the
Board of Trade room, last Wednesday
\ evening. The meeting was the result of
general dissatisfaction caused by the in-
ferior service given by the company.
The meeting was organised by calling
Dr. Feild to the chair and electing B. C.
Murray secretary. The matter was freely
discussed, and the majority seemed to be
in favor of withdrawing patronage from
the company. Mr. Tower, who repre-
sents the company here was present, and
stated that his company was making no
money, principally owing to the laige
royalty charged by the owner* of the
Bell patent—$2 per box a month. He
admlted that the company had lost the
services of competent opertors by reduc-
ing their salary, but asked that time be
given to consult with the management at
Dallas. On motion a committee consisting
of John R. Carr, John Haven and F. M.
Robinson Vas appointed to correspond
with the manager at Dallas and also with
the manager of the Pan Electric Tele-
phone Co., at Fort Worth, after which
the meeting adjoured subject to the call
of the chairman.
If the telephone company does not
agee to reduce the ratea and also furnish
better service probably at the next meet-
ing a large number of the subscribers
will withdraw their patronage. The opin-
ion seems to be general that $3 per month
for business houses and $2 for residences
is enough to pay, and it is doubtful if any
less concession on the part ot the compa-
ny will be accepted.
Aotion of the Bohool Board.
There was a meeting of the ^School
Board at the City Hall Friday evening at
which it was decided to require all appli-
cants for positions as teachers to be ex-
amined. The following gentlemen were
appointed as examining board: T. V.
Munson, A. E. . Wilkinson, and H. M.
Whaling.
This board will meet to examine appli-
cants, at the public school building,
Wednesday, June 10, at 9 a. m. Teachers
are to be paid by the month and the sala-
ries will remain the same as the past year.
Salary of the principal $100; teachers,
from $35 to $50, according to grade.
A good many applications for positions
in the schools have been received, but no
action was taken upon them.
Nothing illustrates the result of pluck
better than the success attending M. Wal-
ler Si Co. Coming to Denison but a short
time since, perfect strangers, by their
close attention to business and liberality
to patrons and customers, their trade has
daily increased, until now It compares
favorably with any firm in the city.
Within two months they have added two
to their force to meet the increase in
trade. Should you desire to know what
they say about It, read their advertise-
ment in another column. Otherwise give
them a personal call.
By reference to our advertising columns
of this issue of the Gazetteer, will be
found the professional card of Dr. F. D.
Marshall, of Chicago, who has recently
come among us for the purpose of making
Denison his permanent home. Dr. Mar-
shall has invested quite largely in Deni-
son property, and is erecting a handsome
residence in South Denison. The Doctor
stands among the first in his profession in
Denison, and is fast building up a lucra-
iive practice.
The work of rebuilding and raising an-
other story on the building adjoining the
Pacific Express office, owned by Mr. G.
Werneberg, was commenced Monday.
The contract was awarded Mr. William
Hill. It will be pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible, to that Mr. Werne-
berg can re-occupy it as his tailor shop.
Mr. Werneberg, at present, is occupying
the building next door to Uhlig’s shoe
store, Austin avenue.

The Senatorial committee, on Indian
affairs, composed of Senator “
Massachusetts, Senator Maxey, of
and Senator Morgan, of Alabama, i
In our city Thursday morning.
Ingalls, of Kansas, also a member of the
committee, left the party tn the Territory
and returned home, owing to the illnees
of his wife. Accompanying them were
Jos. J. Christie, Deputy Sergeant-at-arms
of the U. S Senator; H. L. Dawes, Jr.,
oierk; J. C. McCarty, stenographer; E.
M. Christie, messenger, and Nelson Par-
ker, steward.
They were waited on about 9 o'clock in
the morning by Mayor Hanna and a dep-
utation of dtisens, accompanied by
Judge B. W. Carter, Wm. Guy, and Col.
George Harkins, of the Chickasaw nation,
and driven around the city In carriages,
and out to the Boulevard, where they
were hospitably entertained by Mr. J. S.
Drake at his pleasant country rhtreat.
Here they were regaled with champagne
and native wlhe, and strawberries and
cream. Returning, the party visited the
residence of brother J. T

Miss Dixie with song and
piano. Thence they returned to
car and left at 3 o’clock for Fort
and Wichita Falls. They return
via of Paris, and Fort Smith,
tors declared themselves ss most favora-
bly Impressed with Denison, and express-
ed regrets that their arrangements pre-
vented their remaining longer.
A pleasant incident which will no doubt
be long remembered with pleasure by
those present, occurred just before the
departure of the train tot the west. Mr.
Wm. Hocking, an old man with whom
most of our Denison readers are acquaint-
ed, stepped up to Senator Dawes, and
presented him with s beautifully
cane. As he handed It to the Senator he
said: “As an old acquaintance it would
afford me pleasure to present you with
this stick, if you will accept it. I know It
has little Intrinsic value, but it is made
from our native wood, and I whittled It
out myself. I present it es a modest me-
mento from a plain old Texan.” Sena-
tor Dawes thanked Mr. Hocking heartily
for hts unique present, and on
traduced by Senator Mexey,
the old man well, and was evidently
lighted to meet him The stick is b
d’arc, and on. its exterior are lixsa
horned toads, birds, reptiles and vari
other devices, all carved in relief In
solid wood. It evidently cost Mr. H<
ing a great deal ot hard labor with
jack-knife and no little patience, but
fact that Senator Dawes fully
the gift, has doubly paid him tor his
work.
C. E. Perry, the general agent tor North
Texas for the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, informs the Gazetteer that he
has written policies to the amount of
quarter of a million dollars since,
