Katzer's pastoral letter promulgating
the decree against members of the
Catholic church joining or belonging
to certain secret societies, such as the
Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and
other secret orders, was read In all the
Catholic churches Of Milwaukee yes
terday. A great portion of the letter
was devoted to the question of Cath
Ollie parochial schools, which the arch
bishop declares to be the buiwarks OF
the faith, and which he admonishes all
Catholics to erect wherever there are
none. The archbishop emphasizes the
fact that not only the societies are for

toned by name, but all societies of a
nature such as to fall under the rules
laid down in the pastoral letter, and
the tenor Of the whole pastoral is much
more forcible than the original inter-

Cheap Cotton and Hard Times.

BURNT MILLS, April l. 1895. TO the
EDITOR OF the luka VIDETTE-As there
has been more said about cheap cot
ton and hard times for the past twelve
months than anything else. we will
try to write something on the subject
that we hope will be Of some interest
to our brother farmers. 1t is not our
intention to tell the farmers what to
do, but to give our simple ideas on the
subject
We often hear men say II were not
In debt we would quit raising cotton.
But If We could not pay our debts
when cotton was 8 and 10 cents per
pound how can can we live and pay
our old debts with it at cts? We
think there is no way by which we
can increase the price and bring about
better times, but reduction Of
the crop. The farmer ought to be the
most independent man on earth. but
is the most dependent. He depends
on the merchant to price his cotton
and also his meat and bread because
the majority of our farmers buy part
Of their meat and bread every year,
and plant cotton to pay for it, and then
cry hard timer. II this class of farm
ers were SO arranged that there Is
work TO keep the farm and full
force busy every day in the year, and
make an all-the-year-around business
OF farming there would be less talk OF
this or that crop not paying in ordin-
ary fair times. OF course in times OF
such general depression as now pre-
vail, when men in all lines OF business
can barely keep their heads above the
water, even good farmers have to
trim expenses as closely as possible.
But II the men who have their work
so systematized and diversified have
to economic closely, what can be OK.
pected OF men who work ninety-fiys
days and expect to live 365 by it
This class OF people have given uI
all hope Of ever making anything BY
farming until we get the finances Of
our country In a better shape.
Yoursvery respectfully

Iuka is being besieged by Northern
women who are anxious to tell us how
little we know and show us what
smart folks they have up North.
They know the respect the Southern
people have for woman, and taking
advantage of this, they come with
their long TRADES, their high sound
ing titles and little brains. to stir up
contention. bad feeling and strife.
They show to much anxiety where
they have no concern. But this cam
paign can never change the minds OF
our pleasant, happy and comelr South
women, with their wholesome ideas
and sober, thoughtful minds. Well
they know that to secure the right OF
suffrage they only have to ask for it,
but having confidence in their brothers,
husbands and sweethearts, and seeing
the disadvantage OF universal suffrage,
they have always said, mo, we don't
want it." The modern woman with
masculine proclivities may saw the
air with her hands and preach suf-
frage until her tongue hangs out, but
she will never change the run OF
things in this neck Of the woods.
