A Reply to Old Crusty.
WHIsH. La, August II, 1890.

Editor Celfsx CAroxioIe:
/ viii plead guilty to Mr.. Crusty,s
charge Of . want OF logic; lido not profess
to be much Of iogician. He says: 1.-The
Catholic church has forbidden the debat-
ing Of any question that has been author
relatively settled, ETC." It may be that,
when . question il once settled, Catholics
are not allowed to take IL up and argu .
against it; but, when the church or its
doctrines are violently assailed, / do not
think it u forbidden to refute the charges.
Mr.. Crusty quotes from Times Demo-
crat correspondent to prove that Catho-
lics favor the lottery. Some individuals
claiming to be Catholics may favor Il,
but that IL not the sentiment Of the church,
as il evidenced by the facts that Arch
Bishop Jansens refused tender Of lot
terry money to pay q church debt, and
Bishop Durier, of Natchitoches, declined
to sign petition to the lottery asking
them to bridge Cane river. Rev. l..
Menard, who visits Colfax monthly, ex-
presses himself a. being very much OPP

Mr.. F.. Monk, secretary Of New Salem
union, sends as set Of resolutions, asking
their publication. a. those published two
weeks ago he says we're sent by mistake,
and are not exactly like those passed and
intended for the paper. The only differ
ence in the two sets Of resolutions appears
to be the elimination of the harsh terms,
against which we spoke at the time the
first were printed; and, as the intention
and effect are about the same, we see NO
need to print this second recital Of the
subject. We would caution Mr.. Monk
that in dealing with fellow beings repu-
tation we should be careful to make no
mistakes, and always remember to use NO
more harsh language than is absolutely
else we lower our own dignity,
descend 10 the plane Of billngsgate
and destroy the effect Of just

have pointed out against this meas
ure, we consider that the single fact
that the farmers are seeking to
establish a gigantic trust and COM
bine, while their declaration of
purposes explicitly denounces mo-
nopolies of all kinds, is sufficient
to condemn and kill the project.
We are aware that certain gentle
men are telling our farmers that it
is just as constitutional for the
government to loan them money as
it is for the government to loan
money to the bankers and whisky
men. In reply let us repeat the
adage that two wrongs never yet
made right. Beside it is untrue
that the government lends money
either to the bankers or the whisky
men. This is the gratuitous and
unfounded assumption of the dema-
gogue, and is hardly worth a reply.
If our farmers desire to start bank
in Grant parish, they can do so to-
day, by first going into the market
and buying up say 800, 900 worth
of q. s. bonds; then, upon deposit
ing their bonds with the govern
ment, they win be given SOC, 900
upon which to do their banking
business; but will any reasonable
man claim that the government has
loaned them a cent of money? In
a similar manner, the government
to control the whisky traffic, and
in order to secure its 60 cents
per gallon revenue on all whisky
manufactured, has established the
bonded warehouse system, which
is about this: As soon as q barrel
Of whisky is made it is tested meas
ured, graded, and branded, and re-
quired to be stored in the ware
house until the tar is paid. The
owner of the whisky is given a GER
Ei6cate Of his deposit in the ware
house, and these certificates, we sup
pose, are hawked about and traded |
tor as an article of merchandise,
but no one can move the whisky
until the government gets it's reve-
,ue-that is, Uncle Sam attends to
he collection of money, but he
lon't lend any out.
Our farmers cannot hope to
any more secure ware
houses, or advantageous conditions
md terms, than are offered them
his minute by the Alexandria COM
'ress and warehouse company, or
my reputable New Orleans COM
rission merchant, where in most
ases they can secure advances of
lot only 80 per cent, but 80 and
90 per cent, and in some cases
aore than their entire crop is worth
t highest market-rates. For these,
nd numerous other reasons we can
nd will give hereafter if necessary,

Two weeks ago Old Crusty sent us a
double-barrelled reply to Mr.. Rhorer and
Prosaic Protestant six pages long, which
we declined to publish, and wrote him a
polite note to that effect. In answer he
insists that it be printed. While We re-
main firm in our refusal to do %, Il may
not be amiss to give our reasons, which
are manifold: First. he is already mo-
nopolizing q large portion of our limited
space, in controversy Of doubtful pro-
priety for the columns of secular paper,
Objectionable to a number Of our readers,
and OF no interest to many more. Second,
he has amply met and answered Mr..
Rhorer in his articles on The Proof"
they are the direct outgrowth Of his con-
troversy with Mr.. r, and it is altogether
unnecessary to branch out in separate
disputati0n. third, he has nothing to
controvert with Prosaic Protestant, who
is with him, and most able ally at that,
and any argument or contention places
him in the attitude of turning and rend-
ing friend, possibly better christian
than himself, although equally as bitter
in his Protestant zeal Fourth, his reply
to these parties is wholly without pith or
point, it's publication can benefit no one,
and, in view Of the controversy now pend
ing, all the ideas therein have been amply
discussed. Fifth, we need our space, and
positively decline to have it appropriated
for the airing Of individual doctrines and
beliefs, or the vainglory Of scots and
schisms. For these reasons we insist
that Old Crusty ''let up" after the pub
LEGATION in this issue, as we must decline
all further contributions from him on this
subject. Well informed people are posted
in the history he repeats, and it can do NO
good to continue it's recital.

WHIST AT WASHINGTON.
An Epidemic of the Game Now Sweeping
Over the National Capital.

An Epidemic of the Game Now Sweeping
Over the National Capital
An epidemic of whist is now raging in
Washington, and the tables, with the two
packs and the markers, are set out in innu-
merable houses every night. The justices of
the supreme court have always been great
whist players, and play together very regu-
lar every autumn and spring. The court
lost its two best whist players when Chief
Justice Waite and Justice Stanley Matthews
died. Judge Fuller plays good technical
game, and Judge Miller and Judge Field
are sure and methodical players, never for
getting the run or making false lead.
Justice Gray has too inflammable temper
to be much comfort in a quar-
tet of players. Justice Lamar's absent
mindedness causes his partners to swoon
away at his leads, and he invariably forgets
the trump during his meditations. There
is an awful rumor that Justice Blatchford
delights in leading from his short suit and
play ing other surprises upon his opponents.
The president plays good game of whist,
but his partner, Attorney General Miller,
PLAYS better one. Secretary Blaine plays
whist as he does everything else-by genius
and inspiration. Secretary Window plays
good game, but Mr.. Wanamaker does not
know whist, nor even old maid, nor muggins,
nor any wicked game played with painted
pastebeards., Secretary Noble prefers Gu
Chre, old siedge or something more sociable,
and Secretary Rusk will not be serious and
play hard. Uncle Jere wants fun when he
starts out to amuse himself, and the dead
silence and serious calculations of the whist
table are not in his best line.
