Together We Stand.

There are other towns besides
Houma that might be benefited
by the following sensible advice
from the Courier:
Instead 6f trying always to cut
each others V hroat. in a financial
way, the bush hess zen of a town
should work {bgethst in upbuild-
ing the town.n Anything that i'm
proves the TOY I'm does not benefit
only one or tto individuals, but
benefits every citizen. Our inter-
ests are so interviewer that all of
us are inferred more or less by a
business failure, and in the same
degree we are benefited by the
organization of Il new business
or new enterprise, other than
some wild cat scheme.
The withdrawing Of any amount
Of capital or legitimate enterprise
that brings capital to Il commu-
nifty, effects every line of busi-
ness to some extent. If the
amount withdrawn is small the
effect might be so small as not to
be noticed; but it is there, never
theless, and only differs in de-
gree from Il large withdrawal.
The point which we seek to make
is that one mans business inter-
ests depend on another mans
business interests to such an ex-
tent that the whole community
suffers from IN individual failure
and is benefited by individual sue
cess.
Petty business jealousies, there
fore ought not to be countenaced
as they tend to keep down a COM
progress. This world
owes us all a living. and there is
plenty Of room to work without
brusing each others shoulders.

I Republican prosperity can be
stated thusly: Twenty manufac-
tories combine and form one cor
poration. Hundreds OF men lose
Their jobs thereby The wages of
the few who have work to d0 are
raised few cents per day each.
The corporatlon-a trust-then
proceeds to advance the price Of
what It has been manufacturing.
Result, a few get higher wages,
but many have no work ut any
price. Then, again. the consum-
CT pays for the combination.
Such is Republican prosperity

The State Railroad and Tele-

some ironclad rules for the rail-

that will put stop TO the
high-handed discrimination that
are sometimes shown one town to
the detriment of other towns on
the same line. The commission S
labors have only fairly begun and
it will take time to frame u COM
pIete and just tariff of rates for
the railroad companies to hew to.
In the matter Of telegrams the
commission has forbidden
charge of more than 25 cents for
any message under ten words sent
70 any point in the State The
Postal Telegraph Co. and the
Western Union will feel the brunt
Of this rule, as both companies in
many instances charge more than

telegraph charges for such mes

IRISH LACE AGAIN.

There is a pretty use Of an Irish lace
tichu on a gown of pale green serge,
and, by the way, this new serge is very
nice in delicate colors. The basque
is made with rounded yoke of finely
tucked turquoise blue mousseline de
sole, and about this lies the fat fichu
collar. 1t is caught in front with a
gold buckle, and one end Of the fichu
escapes from this to trim the front of
the basque with a tiny cascade. The
basque is very short in front, with
smart coat tails that are lined with
turquoise blue. The long skirt is trim
med simply with bands Of cloth, imi-
tating scallops. Truly, English gowns
sound very simple in the description.
but in the tailor-made costumes es-
pecially there is wonderful skill in the
cut.
There seems little new to record of
coat and jacket suits, save that in Lon
don the short jacket seems to be bet
ter liked than the bolero. Pique revers
are often worn with serge jackets, and
with pique stocks to match.
These look fresh and are easily add
ed to a costume The English sailor
hat is small and very smart looking.
1t is probably the same shape as is
worn in America, but it is different
from the French sailor. The latter
has a rather broad, curled brim and a
crown lower in front than behind
