Combination and IndlvIduall.y.

This Is I'm age Of combination, OF

italist is disappearing in the corpora
ton. The individual laborer is disap-
pearing i'm the trades union. The power
Of the machine in politics is recognized
of all men. Now. do not call attention
to these tendencies to quarrel with
them, but rather TO emphasize the spir-
it that is needful to make them whole
some. Tho capacity to organize and to
combine Is itself indicative Of high
grade of intelligence and of power. We
may reasonably expect from society tri.
umphs greater than the past has ever
seen as result of these tendencies, II
we can strip them of their dangers and
reap only their benefits II these yari-
GUS combinations can be kept open chan
nels for tho opportunity for character
and for capacity. the triumphs OF the
past win surely be repeated in the flu
ture. but if corporation and trades union
and political party, instead Of being the
schools OF individuality, become the
cause Of its extinction. then indeed the
danger is great and serious. Hon. Seth

StaVe Factory.
Our people will remember tina,

Mr.. George Schussler, OF Fulton

three or four weeks ago, and pro-
posed to move his stave factory
plant here, If a bonus of 1000 be
given him therefor. At the meet
ing OF the Board Of Trade to he ar
Mr.. Schussler's proposition a COM
mittee was appointed to make
canvass among our people, to as
certain if this amount could be OBJ
tanned by subscription.
The committee went actively to
work the same day, and made
thorough and systematic canvass
among our citizens regardless of
class or avocation, everywhere tell
ing the good old story of the great
help this enterprise, with its 5000
to $500 weekly payroll, would be
to Shreveport. Disappointed in
many instances where it was not
expected, increased the burden
gratuitously imposed on the COM
mittee which was however loath to
acknowledge defeat, and it made,
we presume, the most exhaustive
solicitation that has ever been
made for a public enterprise, and
only ceased last Wednesday when
the committee had succeeded in Sc
curing subscriptions in the sum Of
81 $50.
With this amount signed for,

Schussler and requested him to sig

his earliest convenience. Mr..
Schussler did this yesterday. say

PARTIAL VICTORY FOR PlNGREE.
Bills Passed Raising Taxes on Hallway
Earnings.

Lansing, Mich, May ia bill passed
the lower house of the legislature
Wednesday which raises the specific
taxes on railroad earnings in Michigan
from 100000 to about twice that
amount. The rates are as follows.
Roads earning less than 81, 600 per mile,
2la per cent; from $1,000 to $4,000,
per cent. from $4,000 to $4,000, per
cent; over $4,000, 10 per cent
This is a partial victory for Governor
Tingree, but there is still considerable
doubt whether any of his railway re-
fern measures will pass the senate. A
bill for local taxation of railroads, which
was agreed to i'm committee of the whole
Tuesday, was Wednesday re-referred to
a committee on motion of Colonel At
kinson, the leading Pingree representa-
tive. If the senate passes the specific
tax bill passed by the house Wednesday.
the local taxation bill will probably not
be pushed.
Asked If he would sign the Merriam
bill, Governor Pingree said These
companies ought to pay s3.000,000 or $4,-
900, 900, but these are pretty hard times,
and $500, 600 would go a good way. We
might accept the bill and then in two
years from now make the companies
pay what they ought to pay"

GREEK AND CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
That Presented by senator Allen Will BE
Reported Adversely.


Washington, May 13.-The senate
committee on foreign relations Wednes-
day decided upon an adverse report up
on Senator Aliens resolution expressing
sympathy with the Greeks in their war
with Turkey on the ground that the
subject had been covered in the action
of the senate of the last session on a
resolution of which Senator Cameron
was the author. The Cameron resolu-
ton was agreed to without reference to
committee on Feb. 20 and when the AL
len resolution was introduced on April
20 a promise was made that if il should
be permitted to go to the committee 1t
should have immediate attention. What
delay there has been was due to the
fact that the committee meetings were
not regularly held. The only material
difference between the two resolutions is
that the Cameron resolution was an ex-
preston OF sympathy with the Greeks
in their Intervention in Cretan affairs,
whereas the Allen resolution expressed
sympathy with them in their struggle
against the advancement of the Otto
man empire and expressed the opinion
that this sympathy should be rendered
by the executive.
The committee also took up informal
ly the Cuban question and decided to
ask the secretary of state to supply the
fullest possible information in regard
to the situation in Cuba. The opinion
was expressed that Secretary Sherman
would be willing to put the committee
in possession of all the facts at his COM
mand
