A SIGNIFICANT FEATURE.

The above epitCmiZeS the decision OF
the United States Supreme Court in the
action brought by the United States un-
der the Sherman antitrust law against
the Northern Securities Company as
the holding corporation of the Great
Northern Railroad and the Northern
Pacific Railroad. and commonly known
as the merger case, The decision was
reached by a divided court, four OF the
Judges concurring in the majority opin-
ION read by Mr.. Justice Harlan, and
four dissenting, thus making the court
stand five 10 four in affirmation OF the
decree of the Minnesota court, when
held the merger to be a combination IN

Upon this point he says. in his own
opinion:
.Instead of holding that the antitrust
act included all contracts. reasonable
or unreasonable. in restraint of Interstate
trade the ruling should have been that
the contracts there present were -
themselves unreasonable restraints Of M

A GREAT ASSEnBLAGE.
General Assembly Of Cumher-
land Presbyterian 10 Meet
In Dallas.

The general assembly Of the Cum.
berland Presbyterian church will
! meet meet az Gaiiiias IN HAY. rms viii
be the seventy-fourth meeting of the
assembly and it will probably be one
of the most important gatherings Of
Cumberland Presbyterians ever held.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
assemblage may be gained from the
following statement made by DR.. L..
G. Kirkes, president OF Trinity Uni
versity;
The general assembly of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
will meet in Dallas May 10. This
body is the highest court of the
church aud is made up of delegates
from all the presbyteries composing
the denomination The delegation
will be mainly from the Mississippi
Valley states, but will extend east
as far as Pennsylvania and west as
far as California. These delegates
are usually composed of the repre-.
sentative men OF their communities.
Owing to the consideration of a
proposition of the union of the Cum
berland with the Presbyterian
church in the United States this will
probably be the largest gathering,
both in point of numbers and intel
lectual strength, in the history of
the church. This will be the third
time the body has assemble In

May in the city OF Nashville, Tenn.

TO the church in Tennessee that
Trinity does to the church in Texas.
The suggestion that Texas should
be as courteous as Tennessee Is
meeting with an enthusiastic recep-
ton. Such an excursion would
bring to Waxahachie and Ellis eoun-
ty 500 or GOO OF the best citizenship
of the states east of the Mississippi
river, aud would surely result In
permanent settlement of very de-
sirable class of people. The matter
OF extending a similar invitation
from Waxahachie Is being discussed
by the leading business men, and IL
is probable that definite action will
be taken in a few days
