Rineljng Brothers Circus.

By far the best circus aud men"s-
ery which has visited Shreveport IN
many year. were those OF Ringing
Brothers, which appeared here last
ednesday. In fact, We doubt II
our people ever saw their equal III
Shreveport. The music was splen-
did, the menagery WIS good, the
collection of animals being excellent
while their appearance waS neat. the
animals looking sleek and we'll cared
for. The giraff, standing II or IA
test high, perhaps more w"S a curl
osity, while the huge hippopot"m""
attracted general attention.. The
horse with long name, five feet or
more, won the admiration OF many
people and the eight elephants came
N for their share OF attention. Many
stopped to look at the water buffalo a! i,
nor failed to SEQ the cage Of beautiful
birds hard by.
The circus was model of ITS k'od'
the overture bsing particularly at
tractiye, the statuary by living per-
sous exempllfyiug subjects which
were at once pleasing and instruc'
tive, Rock of Ages being sufficient to
make the audience grow editylngly
thoughtful.
The general department OF these
shows was superb. tho best OF order
being kept, nothing Of an immoral
nature and tendency being permitted
The acting WAS varied and performed
by stars each in his respective role
Ringing Brothers have won rep
ntation in our town, and whenever
thew come here, they will always b'
we'll patronized, because they ailo"
no taking or robbing to 20 on; keet
the best of order and give splendid
moral show.

STILL UNSETTLED.
Is the Opinion of Many Regarding
the Railway Com mission.

Austin, Tex, Nay 2S.-PoIiti
cal discussion has been temporari-
" suspended here and everybody
has gone to talking commission,
with not two PERSONS agreed upon
that the Supreme Court decision
decides. The Attorney Gene rails
department is satisfied with it so
far as it goes and considers that
the commissioners Themselves are
satisfied and maintain that they
have won vi:tory They practi-
caIly admitted when they stool on
a demurrer that the rates eAmpIain
ed of were exorbitant for the phr-
pose Of gcttihg an carry decision,
and the railroads in their amended
petition which they were permit
ted to Introduce under Judge Me-
Cormick' decision made allega-
lions which they never expected 10
be called npon to prove and which
the State made no effort 10 contro
vert, being in fact in no position to
DO SO.
The situation is changed now,
however. The Supreme Cohrt
while It affirmed Judge McC0r
mick's decree restraining the ell
/ fnrccment Of the rates established,
reverscs it in so far AS it under
takes to restrain the commission
! from making new rates and holds
hat Tie rates complained OF mus
be proven by trial to be confisca
tory before the railways can seek a
remedy IN the courts. And again,
when the railroads go to the Courts
to enl0in rates established, the com
mission may immediately proinul
gate a new rate lower than the one
complained OF even aud keep this
mp as long as the litigation lasts.
However, as pointed out by prem
inent railroad attorney here today,
section Il of the commission law,
which provides for the Assessment,
nf penalties against the railroads
for non compliance with the com
missions TARIFF, was neither APP
proved If nor condemned Ivy The
Supreme Court, leaving the door
open for lurlher litigation. When
Irv"r a RAILROAD refuses to he bound
by the commission tariffs and an
attempt is made 10 collec, the
penalty the whole thing will be-
.icd up ence more, until the Sn
premc Court can be induced to
"speln on this point.
The question of confiscatory
rates, if it comes up again, will be
fully debated by the State next
time, as The commission has siace
the litigation first begun collected
valuations and data with which il
Is prepared TO support What, i'll It's
opinion, are fair rates, and to show
what the "maIket value" of the
Texas railroads is, which, accord
ing to Judge Brewer,is what should
be taken into consideration wher,
/ figuring on what fair return in
earnings to the Stockholders should
be from the operation Of a RAJ
road
The commission has its revers, {
railroad tariffs ready TO spring Ms
soon as the mandate OF the Su
rr,me Court is received.
