Successful Session lust Closed.
1t IS generally agreed that the five
weeks session of the Louisiana Chau-
tauqua, recently held at Ruston, has
been a brilliant success. Had the
work received temporary check this
year, it would not have been surpris-
ing, when we take into consideration
the money stringency, and the great
Columbian Fair which has drawn
hundreds from the State, who, in part
at least, would have helped to swell
the audience at Chautauqua to un-
usually large numbers. The attend
ance was excellent, Notwithstanding
these insurmountable obstacles; and
the workers in this great university for
the people. for that is what the Chau-
tauqua institution is. have made their
second session a memorable one.
Educators and scholars were there
confident of their powers-with ears
attuned to the music of pure, elect
English, and minds continuously on
the watch-towers Of thought, they
did not fear to face a sea of critics.

turing companies and mines closed
every bank inaccessible to any accom-
mediation; confidence shaken as by
an earthquake and over one hundred
thousand soldiers added to the grand
army of paupers and want!
And what are the reasons given by
these wise statesmen for this appall-
ing distress?
They advance no reason that is in
any way logical or satisfactory.
The wise men who inspected our
levees can only say in the language
of Artemus Ward that the river slop-
ped under and the levee stopped over; !;
equally wise are the reasons given by
our able statesmen as to the causes of
our financial distress.
They say it is all owing to an idiotic
and criminal want Of confidence in
the depositors.
But the result of the suspensions
and inability to pay shows that the
want of confidence is neither idiotic
nor criminal, and that want of conf
dence seizes OF the banks themselves
and SO deep is the panic that not one
dollar can be had on the best security.
But throw aside these flimsy shams
and tell why this want of confidence.
Wall street, importing prince mer-
chants and European rings of trade
venture on another sham, and that IS
that the Sherman act is the Pando-
ra's box of all our woes; and this is
laughable did it not serve as blind
to delude the people; for no man can
understand why the enforcement of
the coinage of four millions of good
legal tender money per month can by
any possibility add to the stringency
of the money market; in fact the eff
feet is directly to the contrary.
All.
''Are ye so blind ye cannot see
The omens in the sky?
Are We so deaf We cannot hear
The tramp of fOemen uigh?"
The war is on. Revolution is at
the door. Europe dictates, the prince
importing merchants, the bankers
join in the howl that is intended to
force the single gold standard and
debase and demonetize silver and
make it bullion to be bought up by
the government or any other huck-
ster, for what it will bring in gold,
and this crusade of dishonor to the
government is joined by all the mil
lionalre princes and by the admins
tratiOn and its party
The first blow is to he struck by an
unconditional repeal of the Sherman
act; and the pill is sugar-coated by
fimsy practices that when convenient
silver will be put on a better basisl
1t is now we'll settled that the party
lines are drawn the lash is Kissing

nor the son of prophet, yet We will |
see every representative from the
cotton States vote for the repeal of
the Sherman act as the entering
wedge to force the single gold stand
ard and to debase the silver dollar to
the fiuctuating price of bullion.
