CERNUsCHI's REMARKS.

al have always combated the uncom-
promising silver men OF America,
who at bottom are really silver mono
metallsts, because, from the scientific
point of view, their doctrine Is as tai
lacious as that OF the gold monomet-
allists.
"The adoption of the free coinage of
silver by the United States alone
would, il is true, increase to formld-
able extent the contingent of silver
monometallic countries, but would
not Immediately bring about true
solution of the problem that inter-
national bimetallism has in view
namely, the instantaneous fusion of The
monetary standards in single inter-
national money by the establishment
of a fixed parity of value between
gold aud silver.
aWith silver mon6metallism in the
United States, the war to the knife be-
tween gold aud silver will agitate for
many years yet the civilized world,
and you know as well as do that the
results of this struggle will be disas-
trous to- those European countries
which are at present living under q
single gold standard, and in particular
to England and France.
81 have always been the adversary
of the out-and-out silver men of mer-
lea, that is to say, the party which dc.
mands the free coinage of the silver
dollar in the United States without
reference 10 the action of European
nations, because their monetary con
ception is dramatically opposed &c
mine. They are monometallists, like
the monomeiallists OF the city of Lon
don, aud the triumph of their cause
so far from putting an end TO thu
monetary anarchy in which the worlt
has been writing since 1873, vii
merely acccniuate il, in rendering i
more sburdensome tor Europe tn

Hon. C. J. Boatner.

Hon. G. J. Boatner has announc-
ed that he would not be candidate
for reelection to Congress, but we
understand is an applicant for the
position Oh the Supreme Bench
which will soon be vacant on &C
count of the election of Justice Nc
Emery to the United States Senate.
Mr.. Boatner is one of the very
ablest lawyers in the State, is emil,
nently fitted for this high judicial
station, and the ermine could not
fall upon more worthy or able
shoulders.
We hope that Gov. Foster, IN
looking over the roll of eminent
North Louisiana lawyers to fill the
place of the distinguished McEnery,
on the Supreme Bench, will select
the name of Hon. G. J. -Boatner
from tho list and honor HIM and the
people of North Louisiana by plac-
ing him upon the bench. There is
none nobler, wiser, truer or better,
end his appointment would meet
with universal approval.
The above taken from the Clarl-
on-Appeal of Bastrop, meets with
our most hearty approval. Colonel
Boatner has long been recognized
as one. of the very ablest lawyers II
the State and would adorn position
on the Supreme Bench As those
who constitute and go to make W
the Supreme Bench of the State, III
and determine the law of the State,
SO should the very ablest lega
/. minds be called upon to fill these ex
allied positions, TO interpret the law
and make the Jurisprudence o.
louisiana. Col. Boatner is In ever,
way worthy and capacitated to I'll
the high and honorable position
aud if he should be called to tn
i place by Governor Foster, we be
/ iieve he would make one of tn
ablest judges that ever sat upon tn
tribunal of last resort and prove
shining light to the bench. Rich
land Democrat.

r. G.. w. Allen, a Jackson

Mr.. C. W. Allen, a Jackson par
ish farmer, says that he has found in
his cotton genuine specimens OF
the Mexican cotton boil weevil, the
bug that has played such havoc
with the cotton prospects OF Texas.
This weevil pierces the cotton boil,
depositing its eggs in the puncture,
which eventually causes the boil to
sirivel and fall off. When they
come in sufficient numbers, as they
have this year in parts of Texas, il
is thort work with them to ruin 6
crop Of cotton.

The announcement has gone forth
from Alexis Benoit that he will again
contest the seat OF Congressman
Boatner. He says that he will have
to do it because his friends might
think that he sold out If he didn't
contest. II Boatner is declared not
elected this time, then there is no
use to try and hold an honest elect
ion. Every vote shown on the re-
turns from East Carroll was honestly
cast, and If Benoit comes to our par
ish to investigate he will find it SO.
