Letter from VVhisIsycIlittO.

WHIsKYcHITro, June /, 1885.
Editor Lake Charles Echo
Mr.. Shrimp, the little dwarf, as his
name seems TO indicate, appears tc
think we have gone into convulsion,
tup in these parts. Now, if a plain
statement of facts throws him into
spasms, We are not responsible for the
bad state of his liver. He may think
there is combination up here against
him, the School Board and all of Lake
Charles, because two articles express
ing nearly the same sentiments ap-
peared in the same issue Of the ECHo /;
but assure the gentleman that neither
of us knew of the writing Of the other
until it appeared in pgint. Nor did l
know, at the time, who was writing
under the nom de plume of "Aytch."
Regulate your liver, Mr.. Shrimp, and
you will not be quite so suspicious.
Neither was any fault found with or
attack made upon any individual or
individuals connected with the schools
of this parish. The fact was simply
stated that the principal in the public
school there received $75 per month
for doing less work than other teach
ers, equally as worthy, and no doubt
as competent, do for $50. | found no
fault with the Board, whatever, but |
fanlt the system established by the
Legislature under which the Board
acts-no doubt to the best of their
Judgment.
He accuses lis of transition from
optimism to pessimism. But his par
oXisms do not even have credit for as
much, for he goes from maias to
pGjor and from pejor to pessimus, by
statements which never appeared in
my article. He says that the Board
deserve praise for trying to establish
a creditablo one at Lake Charles, are
insinuations that the Board do not try
to establish creditable schools only at |
that point. But does the fact of his
receiving $75 make his school any
more credtable than many Others with
salary of $50? Egotism in the ex-
treme /! He says "tho better the
school the greater the credit to the
Board. This saVors too much of the
ego of Cicero in his inVectives against
CatiIine. lie asks, "Why is the little
amount of $75, as compensation to the
too much 2" My dear Mr..
nobody said it was. Get the
"bilo" from your stomach, that you
may be able to read correctly, and di-
gest what You read.
He says, sit is becoming dangerous
to write upon the subject of education,
because he that is able through culture
and refinement, is criticised by the
very ones most needy of advice and
gentle admonition." More of Oicero's
go.
Here leave Mr.. Shrimp, and turn
lin over to the tender mercles of
'Aytch," notifying him that such con
,ulsions as we have up here are very
common all over this parish.

"The last shall be first" for it is
thoroughly decided that Mr.. Shrimp's
reliable oliver Regulator" deserves
first mention, it being about the best
feature of his article, badly used as it
was. Suppose if he were a Justice of
the Peace, he would keep constant
supply of it on hand, with which he
would alIay every spirit of opposition
arising throughout the territory of
his jurisdiction, saying to his friends,
"The more Regulator consumed, the
more happiness prevails" Wouldn't
that be fine optimism.
1t seems rather strange that
"Shrimp" would devise such means
of ridicule, if ridicule he meant. in lieu
of a good logical discourse of argu-
ment, provided his intention was to
defend what had been criticised; and
if this was not his object, why did he
reply at alIl Perhaps he was desirons
Of showing Off some of that high
"culture" and illustrious "refncment,"
to which all "upper" correspondents
should so subsequently bow. And he
certainly y succeeded.
shrimp" says Lake Charles has
had but four public schools during the
last ten years Concerning the cor
rectness of this statement, am not
able to judge, but have no reason to
doubt, even though it does not agree
with previous information. But why
was this point brought up3 1t has no
tendency to defend nor criticise.
Therefore, it appears reasonable that
it came in as "wedge wood;" in fact
his article is full of such material |
The four public schools are nothing
"wonderfuI;" only about thirty-fve |
per cent. better than our "upper" To-
calities. But why did he say, "con-
sidering the popuIation" Public
money is certainly divided according
to the number of children of scholastic
ages, and also consumed in the same
way. Then, if there be seventy five
in one district, and only twenty-five
in another, one will draw three times
as much as the other, but the con-
sumption is also three times as great.
Nobody denies the right OF Lake
Charles to public schools. What a
sorry idea of "Shrimp" it was to IN
innate such unreasonable injustice!
Stopping long enough, right in the
strain of his thoughts, to guzzle down
a dose of oliver Regulator" he acci-
dentally took too much, which dis
connected his theoretical course of
reasoning, and consequently bis ideas
scattered equal to an cid bell-muzzled
shotgun.
Mr.. shrimp" was undoubtedly off
his base when he decided that "the
general tone of these articles tended
against the Lake Charles school," for
the entire parish of Calcasien should
pride herself in lending every avail
able aid to there perpetuate such an
institution of learning as will do credit
to our metropolis. Those better posted
must speak for the present one, though
no i'll reflections are intended; neither !
is there an absence of spirit to re- (
commend. Nobody objects to q good /
neal when hungry, even at JaH price;
but rations being scarce, who wants to i
see one Unsuitable appetite consume {

. made to the past, bpt ferely to !
