Outlook For Resumption.

The present financial crisis, said
Senator Hill in his recent speech.
may be attributed to three causes:
First, the regular recurring COL
lapse after long period of real or
fictitious prosperity, proving the
general rule that such panics take
place about every twenty years |;
second, the concerted efforts on
the part of the monometallists to
produce it, in order to discredit
silver; third, the effects of the
Sherman silver purchasing law.
The first alleged cause implies
mere panic, which neither carlton
nor conservatism could have aver
ted; the second is a grave charge,
and If true the instigators have
suffered for their fault, for wealth
has felt the shock greatly; the
third cause is universally conce-
'ded, bat not 30 clearly demonstra-;
ted as to remove doubt in all
minds.
One fact is certain; the psnic,
struck the country ik ea peal of
thunder out of a clear sky. There
was no expectation Of such a dis,
-aster. There bad been no undue,
speculation, no expansion beyond
the ordinary requirements of
trade, no ilusory investments, no
wildcat banking schemes, but
everywhere there was average
prosperity, the same great re-
sources of national wealth, the
same industry and general frugal
ity among the people, and the Gre
dit of the government was as solid
as the rocks of Gibraltar. Sud-
denly there was clamor over the
action Of India in stopping the
free coinage of silver, then lack of
confidence in some surprising way
seemed to pervade financial cir
cles, and under this distrust q |
storm of fury swept over the eonn-
try, topping over banks and
wrecking fortunes.
The country could no doubt re-
sumo its prosperity tomorrow if
it was possible for the public
mind to hanish its fears and thus
restore confidence. There is plen-
ty OF money, but it is boarded and
away from circulation; every in
telligent person knows that the
stringency is the result of an in
fectaous Generalization, but dis
trust prevails and men refuse to
follow their convictions to the ha-
zard of their capital.
The American idea is that the
first relief must be by legislation.
The Sherman law will probably
be repealed by next week. If, as
President Cleveland said in his
the evil effects of that I
law are palpable to all who give {
the least heed to financial subjects,
its repeal ought at once to restore I
the status quo and put the coun- t
try again on basis of confidence. i
There are already apparent favor
able indications of a return to i
prosperity. Bankruptcies are be- i
coming fewer in number and small q
Ter in amount; there are more ne t
of business than sus- {
pensions, and the total failures in t
he present psnic are below those s
'f 1873 for tho same period, with c
! tendency to much more rapid b
liminution. There is no good rea- l
'on then Why recovery should p
lot come soon, and the country 81

is. The elenents of prosperity il

the ceremony Of marriage.
Lolg before the hour of o'clock the
First Presbyterian church in this city
was filled to overlooking by one of the
most select audiences that Shreveport
has ever seen gathered together. The
church had been prepared for this aus
picious occasion by those who displayed
rare taste. While nothing was over
done. nor was there anything lacking
to render the scene beautiful. The altar
was one mass of ferns and rare plants,
forming a back ground beautiful to be-
hold. The Organist in the gallery be-
gan the wedding march just As the
bridal party arrived at the church.
The ushers---Mcssrs. Hodges, Thur

with baskets of flowers. Mr.. james Ford

the isle to the alter where they were
joinedrby the groom, who entered with
his best man from the rear door of the
church on the left side of the alter,
while DIR. w. 5. Penick entering from
another door to the right. DIR. Penick
began his beautiful and impressive GER
emony-after few preliminary re-
marks he asked who gives this woman
to this man? Mr.. James Ford prompt
ly responded bv giving away the bride
and while the solemn and impressive
ceremony was being said the organ
played its soft sweet notes so appropri-
ate to the occasion. The ceremony
ended, the bridal party quietly left the
church for the home Of the brides
mother to take her final leave on the
1910 y. m. train for Dallas, Tex. Every
one who attended came away delighted
with the happy occasion and wishing
the handsome couple a long and happy
life.

Cotton Market.

Shreveport has been and always
will be one of the best cotton markets
in the South, and to-day her mer-
chants are moving right along buy
ing all the cotton that is offered and
paying the highest price. Tuesday
cotton advanced 20 points and is still
on the up sard grade. Our merchants
are fully prepared to buy and pay for
it. We believe that there is better
time ahead and soon everything will
move along as though nothing had
happened to cause trouble in fnan-
cial circles. We have never thought
that it was lack OF money, Int lack
of confidence. Now that that is re-
turning our planters can rest assured
that they viii find buyers ready to
pay the highest price for all cotton
offered. From information we are
satisfied that planters are going to
get good prices for all the cotton
that get on the market early, and we
sincerely hope that planters will bear
this in mind and get their crops to
market early, which insures them a
good price and chance to put in cir
culation enough money to make times
easy all round.

A family newspaper should at all

pers are teeniug with reports Of ruin
el homes and desclation where once
all was purity and loveIness. Faith
ers and mothers Of Shreveport you
should guard your children Of tender
years from the iu-idiou1 and baneful
influence that Is called society. We
remember in former times that a
young lady was not allowed to receive
the attention Of young gentleman un-
til She had arrived at the proper age,
and that was when she had arrived at
the age Of discretion. 1t was said,
in old parlance, that Miss SO and SO

alto%ether above rel lToach. Then they
are allowed 20 attend the party and

iouable cus-pm that seems to prevail,
but keep up the custom of olden
time. A. 80 oLr boys, we know that
il Is hard to keep an eye on d boy

Fathers do you counsel your boys as
you should Instead of reprimanding
him az if he was vile criminal take
him him kindly TO your bosom and
compauionship and, as you are better
vpr5ed in the ways of the world, tell
him OF the breakers ahead that will
wreck his life; and above all set him
an example of morality and correc'
living.
Fathers and mothers, of Shreve-
port, there is danger lurking near
your loved ones, and we feel it our
duty to sound the alarm. We are not
particularizing, but from remarks and
observation feel it our duty to call at
tention to these matters.
Mothers, you cannot be too partic-
ular in watching over your lovely
daughters. Fathers keep an eye
open to where your boys are at night
Unless you do the time may not be

proach yourself bitterly for not hav-
