Small Factories.

Small factories are the life blood
as well as the bone and sinewe of
a town or city. In fact no town
ever gets to be a grown woman-a
city unless it's food is small facto-
ries. Of course large ones have a
commanding influence and are to
be courted always, but three small
factories with a capital of S25, 900
each are always more beneficial
than one of $4,000. Hence we re-
assert that it to the small factories
that towns which expect TO grow,
must look to for their development.
Therefore Shreveport just now is

The men who are aspiring for
gubernatorial honors even four
years hence may as wen under
stand right now that unless Con-
gress does a good deal for silver in
the mean time, this question nilt
be made an issue in the next State
campaign. Poor silver! tricked
and betrayed by pretended friends,
she suffered martyrdom in the
last State campaign; but by the
time the next conflict is on there
will be knigts to espouse her cause
as cunning and valiant as Foster

store her crown and replace her on

cOmm1SSdTy or STORE.
The committee has worked earn
estly and zealously to secure what
the members know to be a VAL
liable prize. 1t seems to us that it
will require no very great degree
Of business judgment to complete
what the weekly payment among
$1,000 will be worth to the avoca-
tons previously mentioned.
Therefore it is to be hoped that
Shreveport can secure this plant;
it will certainly be a valuable
thing.
We appreciate the fact that
many who should do, do not, but
this has always been the condition
and doubtless always will be. 1t
is the same as applied to patriot
ism, to chivalry, to church mem
bership even. But the nobler
element must arise to the situation
and settle it. We can not afford
to allow enterprise to go by, ST M
ply because few hard-fisted,
hard-hearted, mercenary sponges
will not do their duty.
AS usual the wholesalers have
been most. liberal, and so have
also some of the retailers; but if
we fail to secure this plant it will
be due solely to the short sighted
policy or narrow prejudice Of tn e
| very people who are most directly
in terested in it's coming.
The committee has determined
to do it's duty. 1t will give all an
opportunity to give and it has
strong hope of being successful.

The Little Sister.

Once God sent pretty baby,
Sweet as could be,
For to be my little sister,
And play with me.
Baby's hair was brown and curly,
And her eyes were black;
guess that God got sorry,
For He took her back.
Grandma said that little baby
Didn't come to stay;
So God sent an angel nurse
To take her far away.
They didn't let me kiss her, even,
And / loved her so;
When they took her off, think
They might have let me know.
Every day beg my nurse
To let me go and play
At baby's house, but nursie says
1t is too for away.
Since 1 can't play at baby's house,
God is SO good and kind,
/ know that He'll let baby come
And spend a day at mine.

He can do it, brother.
Politically, Blanchard is dead
SO why not mummify him on the
Supreme Judges bench?-Beacon-
News.
Yes, why not indeed?
In Washington circles the talk is
that when Mr.. Blanchard leaves
the Senate he will take Justice
McEnery's place on the Supreme
bench. Should such an appoint
ment be made, it will by no means
give satisfaction-but political
debts must Re iquidated we sup
pose.-Iberville South,
Senator Blanchard has been a
very useful representative in the
National Congress and he has al
ways been consistent Democrat,
but it strikes us that his appoint
ment to the Supreme bench will
look very much like the liquida-
ton of political debt. Anything
that savors of dickers is calculated
to cast discredit upon the highest
tribunal in the State. There are
many able lawyers in North Louis
lana who would make good judges.

Progress.
What's the matter with Snyder
appointing Foster himself? Fos-
ter's own particular organ, the
Baton Rouge Advocate, is not
backing Blanchard very strongly !;
says he is as good as anybody y ct
named for the position! The ap-
pointment would give Foster a
snug berth. and leave him ready to
capture the United States Senator
ship if the opportunity ever offered
itself.-The Peoples Tribune.
Well it would be pretty go sure
enough. Itwould matter little to
our people which Of these worth
les were appointed. Neither are
competent, neither deserve it, both
are politicians; both have an un-
limited opinion of themselves.
In this case parish pride would
cut no figure. Blanchard has nc
place in the affection of our peo-
pie except with Mr.. j. NJ. Foster
and about six others; hence they
would as leave Foster had the
place as Blanchard.

in a position where she must have
more support of this kind to not
only continue her growth, but to
maintain her present position. Soon
this furry of house building will
be over, because the supply will
have reached the demand, and
then employment must be had for
the increased population which
our report elsewhere shows to be
wonderful.
Our town has made an extreme
ly rapidly growth in the last
eighteen months. A report there
of shows that more than half a
million dollars have been spent
here in Improvements within that
time. We are now town of 49,
600 or 10000 inhabitants and we
cannot afford to stagnate again.
Therefore let US encourage every
enterprise and especially reach out
after the small factories whose
goodly number of employees spend
their money here, and the retail

butcher, baker, the mechanic, the
doctor, druggist, lawyer and even

several days last week and. this

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 49, The impetus
given the price of wheat has produced
considerable animation throughout the
state. In this city IL was manifested
at the grain exchange and around the
bucket shops. There were excited
crowds in both. and while no big deals
were attempted, a large number Of
patrons cleaned up amounts ranging
irons $50 toS5OO The heavy advance was
talked Of in all places Of business, and
was the absorbing topic throughout
the city. In the interior of the state.
where millions OF bushels Of wheat are
in sight, the information Of advancing
prices was received with every symp.
tom Of excitement and satisfaction.
The farmers Hooked into the small
towns to verify the news, and con
graduated each other when they dis.
covered the truth. Many speculative
orders were sent from interior points
east by the agricultural element. 1t
Is estimated that Nebraska will pro.
duce i5,O00,00O bushels of wheat, the
greater portion of which will be placed
on the market.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. The Silver
Dollar league, of this city, has solved
the free coinage problem in circular
just issued asking investors to cooper
ate in the purchase of 40 tons Of silver,
which is to be offered to the minis for
free coinage. Should the superintend-
ent of the mint refuse to coin this sill
ver the aid of the courts is to be in
voked under the act of February rs,
1878, which provides.
Congress- has power to enforce the act Of
February 2S 1873 which provides that silver
dollars OF the weight of ll2M grains Troy stand
ard silver shall be coined at the minis OF the
United States as provided in the act of January
Is, 1887.
This section, the league claims,
never has been repealed, and conse-
quently silver may be forced upon the
government for coinage. The circular
says, among other things:
This thing is far more profitable and infinite
ly safer than the Klondke gold find The
price Of silver bullion is about 80 cents per
ounce, and the profit on 900 900 ounces, or 80
