A Monopoly to Continue.
Baton Rouge Truth.


Last evening the Senate Committee
reported on the bill repeating the act
creating the Crescent City Slaughter
house Company, of New Orleans. The
people by petition, and through the

expected to be treated with consider

disappointed. The Senate, by a vote
of II to IL, have voted in favor of re
tanning this monopoly. We give below

THE GAME LAw.-We call the atten-
ton of the Police Jury to the newly
amended game law, which we publish
elsewhere in to-day's Issue. Before the
adoption of the first game law in 1880,
it was not generally known that 10
positive game law could be framed
which would apply with equal benefi-
cial results to all parts of the State !;
the law, rs amended, authorizes the
police juries of the various parishes to
regulate the time when the provisions
of the State law shall take effect in
their respective parishes, and provides
that, in all parishes where no such reg
ulations are made by the police juries,
the time specified in the law snail pre-
vail.
Under the present law it is unlawful
to hunt or kill ducks and deer between
the LIST Of March and LIST of October.

and 18th Of October. Quails, partrid

Milk as a Remedy.

Censiderable'hastbeen lately said in
medical journals.concerning the value
of milk as a remedial agent in certain
diseases. An interesting article on
this subject lately appeared in the
London MIX Journal, in which it is
stated, on the authority,of DR.. Benja-
min Clarke, that in the East Indies
warm milk is used to a great extent as
q specific for diarrhea. A pint every
four hours will check the most violent
diarrhea, stomach ache, incipient chol-
era, and ~dysentery. The milk should
never be boiled. but only heated suffi
GENTLY to be a~greeably warm, not too
hot to drink. Milk which has been
boiled is unfit for use. This writer
gives several instances in arresting the
disease, among which is the following F.:
The writer says: sit has never failed
in curing in six or twelve hours, and |
have tried it, / should think, fifty
times"
Il have also given it to a dying man
who had been subject to dysentery
eight months, latterly accompanied by
one continual diarrhea, and it acted on
him like a charm. In two days his
diarrhGa was gone in three weeks he
became a hale hearty man and now
nothing that may hereafter occur will
ever shake his faith in hot milk" A
writer has alse communicated to the
Medical Times and Gazette a statement
of the value of milk, in twenty six cases
of typhoid fever, in every one of which
its great value was apparent. 1t
checks diarrh9a, land nourishes and
cools the body. People suffering from
diseases need food quite as much as
those in health, and mnch more SO in
certain diseases where there is a rapid
waste of the system. Frequently all
ordinary food in certain diseases is re-
jected by the stomach, and I'VE leath-
ed by the patient; but nature, ever
~benefcent, has furnished feed that in
all diseases is benefcial-some directly
curative. Such food is milk.
The writer in the journal last quot
ed, DR.. Alexander Yale, after giving
particular observations upon the point
aheye mentioned, its action in checking
diarrhea, its nonrishing properties and
its action in cooling the body, says:
' We believe that milk neurishes in
fever, promotes sleep. wards off delir-
ium, soethes the in~testines, and, in
fine, is the sine qua NON in typhoid
fever We have lately tested the
value of milk in scarlet fever and learn
that it is now recommended by the
medical faculty in all cases of this
often very distressing children's dis
ease. Give all the milk the patient
will take, even during the period Of
greatest fever. 1t keeps up the
strength of the patient, acts well upon
the stomach, and is in every way a
blessed thing in this sickness. South

Inconsistent
Lafayette Advertiser. July Is.

Lafayette AufoFtISoFsO uiy y @
The New Orleans Daily States of the
9th instant, voices the sentiment of the
people on the action of the Senate in
failing to pass the bill for the repeal
of the edious Slaughterhouse monopoly.
The vote on the bill has a queer look
and places those Senators who, in the
Lottery matter, were loud in their de-
~nunciations of monopolies, in a most
unenviable position. Senators Walton,
Burlington, Lucas, Leake, Luckett,
Parlange and others are found voting
to sustain the Slaughterhouse.
How are the people to understand or
trust their professions of reform and
friendship Can it be that there was
some kind of bargain behind all this ?
Does this account for the milk in the
reorganization ~cocoaRut
Among other things the States says !:
1.-THE anti monopelists par excellence
of the present Senate, who have here
tofore made a splendid and consistent
fight against the Lottery, stand before
the State now in the light of the pro-
tectors of the worst of all mo%nopolies.
We confess that we de not understand
either the logic or wisdom of their
course. We claim to be an anti mono-
polist. But as such, We have opposed
every monopoly in the State. Our war
upon the Lottery was not made through
special hostility to that institution.
We attacked it as a monopoly, and at
the same time, and during the whole
time we also attacked the Slaughter
house and Gas Light company, and all
other monopolies. and, we repeat, we
cannot see the consistency o. -four friends
in the Senate in attempting to break
down one monopoly while they sup
port and rescue from defeat a far more
oppressive one.
We are told, indeed, that they were
influenced in this extraordinary course
by the fact that the friends of the Lot
terry were the movers of the bill against
the Slaughterhouse. Be this true or
false, to the true and consistent anti
m0nopelist it could have no relevancy
to the issue. Why should the common
prey of both the lion and wolf snatch
the wolf from the Jaws of the lion ~
