NEWS FROM. WASHINGTON.

IF the House is to continue it's
present programme, as seems
reasonably certain, it may be a
little difficult for that body to
respond to President Mckirlley's
special message asking that the
necessary legislation for the par
ticipation Of the U. S. Govern
ment III the Worlds Exposition
to be held in Paris, IN 1900, be
put through Congress. It could
of course, be done by "unani-
nous consent" but important
as the matter is. there might be
DIRECTORS In The House, not be
cause they object to. the legisla-
ton itself, . but because they
might object to.that method Of
passing it. The method that
will most probably be adopted,
will be to report a special rule
from the Committee on Rules,
Just as was done when the
House passed the left-over-ap-
preparation bills. Many persons
regard this matter as one of the
most important that will come
before this session of Congress,
and one that should be speedily
disposed of, as the time will be
none too much i'll which to ar
range for a creditable showing
for Uncle Sam at the Paris FIX
position. There should be no
politics in this.
It is difficult to understand
what. the minority of the House
expect to gain by the unseemly
wrangle among themselves
which characterized the two last
meetings Of the House. Itseems
to an unprecedented person that
they ought to be. ablet to see that
Speaker R1edcgave them recog-
milton on their claims Of f'pef
sonal privilege" just to allow
them to thunp each other for
the edifcation of. their oppon-
ents and for the amusement Of
the crowded galleries. And it
ought to be equally clear that
the editor of the local paper,
who declared that Representa-
tive Bailey, of Texas, wore a
Reed collar, and who was de-
nounced by Mr.. Bailey, as a
and Infamous liar,
has taken sides III the wrangle
morH to gain notoriety for his
paper than for anything else.
Some of those engaged in this
wranglc have claimed that Mr..
Bryan was opposed to Mr., Bail
ey being the leader of the minor.
ity in the House. This may be
true, but if So Mr.. Bryan took
pains when he was in
Washington last week to leave a
contrary impression, by being
particularly attentive to. Mr..
Bailey. The whole thing is a
tempest in a teapot anyway.
The majority Of the House some
time ago decided upon pro
gramme which they have 50 far
carried out to the letter, and
which everybody knows they
can continue to carry out just
as long as they desire, regard
less Of what the minority does.
The wrangling in the minority
is over the somewhat ridiculous
question of whether the will of
the majority shall be quietly
bowed to OF whether the major
.ty shall kick their toes against

DISCOVERED Too LATE.-The Ter
rebonne Times announces the discov.
cry Of the following brilliant idea:
Eve have just heard the bright
idea Of a way to reduce the water in
the Bayou + fonrche. A certain young
lady claims that if she would be living
near Bayou Lafourche she would
empty all the water out of tile cisterns
and hi them up again with alter
from the bayou to prevent a clevasse.,
What a pity this Wonderful scheme
vas discovered after the break in onr
'evees; otherwise the disaster which
has ~overtaken our people might have
have been avested.

TRUST, THE CAUSE; CASH,
THE REMEDI-

Our country lies bleeding under tl'+
lash OF a cruel taskmaster. Our land
Is struggling in the grasp of IA hi0eous
monster. Our business is submerged
by an on rushing tidal wave. Onr
homes are wiped out by d terrible
conflagration.
This taskmaster, this monster, this
t~idalwase, this confiasration are all
Implications OF that great evil-Trust.
There is not a store that does not
trust. 1t there is, we will give it ii
free advertisement. /.
There's not il family that does not
get trusted. If there is, we will send
them a years subscription.
There's not a man who can stand up
and declare that he owes no one. We
are all debtors.
Trust is the bond Of business slave
~, the yoke If opression, the curse Of
modern society.
Cash is the only remedy Of The
nation's woes. Gold won't do it,
silver or greenbacks won't do it-cash
will.
Just as long as people trust aud get
trusted, just So long will there be
poverty aud bankruptcy.
Never use your credit and You will
never lose it.
Wait till you can pay for q thing,
before you buy it.
Stores are closing, banks are failing
families are being driven out of nnpald
for homes, men are thrown out OF enl-
ployment, and a general depression
follows, just because people will not
pay their bills.
Cash is the only cure.

Stick to the home paper ii you want
to reach the largest benefits. 1t is the
home paper that looks after your per-
sonal welfare and the general good of
the community. Outside papers may
boast of superior facilities for news
gathering, but it is the home ape
that keeps up the interest Of home
affairs. It is the home paper that pub
fishes all the nice little notices about
you and your family and your friends,
and that most interests them when
away. You may be abla to get the
outside papers cheaper, but its the
home paper that spends its earnings
among you-when it has any-and
comes in asa neighbor to sit at your

SATURDAY, APRIL II, 1897.
WILL OCCASION MUCH SUE
fERING.

The Babin elevasSe discharges a
large quantity of water ana will inun-
GATE tie whole country on the right
bank of Bayou Lafourche from Acadia
plantation down 70 the gulf, including
the Rayou Blue settlement. It will
seriously affect the lands on the left
descending bank OF Bayou Terrebonn.,
lt Will cause much damage and SUI
fering, fer it will destroy all tile crops
of a class - small farmers with scant
means. thereby taking from them their
principal, and III most instances. their
only means Of livelihood. To make
matters worse, these poor farmers
have not been making much since the
high water of 1893 which then DESTROY
ed all their crops. Whatever small
crops they have been ahle to make
during that time they have been un-
able to sell, SO that all of them were
already in Strengthened circumstances
and unable to tide over a general set
back such as the high water gives
them.
For this reason, while the crevasse
may not occasion so mach damage
reckoned in dollars aud cents as a
crevasse IL some other parts might
have inflicted, yet il is much more de.
plorable in its consequences on account
OF the vast amount of human suffering
1t must entail. Tie majority OF the
people affected are absolutely without
means and generally without credit,
and will have to depend on outside
relief.
To reckon the damage ID dollars
and cents. as some more fortunate
people have done, without taking into
consideration the condition of those
affected by the overflow, is to show
ones self absolutely controlled by self
ishness aud almost devoid Of all SYM
pathy for ones fellow men. These
poor people who lose their all, suffer
damage relatively than their
weather. brethren would if they lost
a few thousands.
The people Of tile overlooked district
of this parish are most worthy of help
for they have made a heroic fight to
keep up their l~eyees, fighting a forlorn
hope during many das with the cou-
rage of a brave people. If the break
occurred where it did, it is not their
fault.
Some steps should be taken without
delay to procure them some assistance.

was concluded last Sunday at high
mass. Father Knapp delivered a
splendid sermon Oh that occasion and
wound up the mission by giving tile
apostolic benediction to tie assembled
congregation. He left BY that days

he began a mission the same night.
Father Arcliamband had departed tie
day previous for some point up the

A JUsT DECIsIoN.-Justice Rightor
of the Civil District Court of Orleans
has decided in favor OF the CITY Of
New Orleans the case of Orr vs.. CITY.
refusing the injunction and manda-
mus prayed for by plaintiff. The suit
was apparently the action of Il tax
payer to %injoin the city from making
appropriations to charitable iDstItu-
tons of the city on tue ground that
such appropriations were for sectarian
purposes; but il was really instigated
by the A. A. of New Orleans, and
was principally aimed against Catho-
lie institutions. Under the pretense
Of separating the Church from the
State, the A. p. A. every where seek to
stir up strife and luminosity against
the Church. They live on strife. They
are consumed by prejudice ard bigot-
~ and their sole eDdeavor is to instil
their venom, prejudice and bigotry in
the hearts of others.
Judge Rightor las decided the case
in accordance with law and conform
ably to strict principles of justice. He
shows that there is nothing in the con-
stitntion prohibiting the appropriation
proposed to be made; that inasmuch
as the city is bound, under the consti-
tuition, to provide for its indigents. the
city has full power and discretion to
make the appropriation.
The Judge has done more he has
condemned the spirit which has given
birth to the reprehensible action.
This ought to be 4 saluatory lesson to
these pestiferous Observation-Disclosures
who arrogatlng to themselves all tile
virtue and patriotism in the country
are always trying to save tile people
from themselves. The quicker these
cranks are sqnelched the better for
the country.
