Shaving in Jamaica.

The natives of Jamaica have no need
to buy soap, for the woods abound in
plants whose leaves and bulbs supply
very we'll the place of that indispensa-
bic article. Among the best of these is
the sOap-tree. SO called, though it Is
more bush than tree. Its botanical
name is Phalangium Pomeridianum.
Its bulb. when rubbed on wet clothes,
makes Il beautiful lather, which smells
much like common brown soap.
The Jamaica negroes. some of whom
are great dandies in their way. make a
soap out of cocoanut oil and home
made I've: and fine soap it is. smooth
and fragrant. This cocoanut-oil soap
is used for shaving.
When Il man wishes to shave in the
morning he starts out with his cocoa
nutshell cup and his donkey-tail brush
and bottle. 1t is never any trouble to
find an empty bottle in Jamaica, even
in the mountains. At least twenty
generations of thirsty people have lived
there. and thrown away the empty bot

Who Was the Martyr of Algicrs.

In the sixteenth century the town OF
Oran. on the north coast of Algeria,
was held by the Spaniards. Between
the Christian garrison o. the place and
the Barbary pirates there was frequent
warfare. and it was during sally from
the town that several MoorS were cap
tured. among them Il mere child, who
was baptized into the Christian
Church by the name of Geronimo.
When 3 years old he WIS carried off
by some Arabs who managed To escape
from Dram during Il panic caused by
the plague. Restored To his parents he
turned MoSiem again. Ut the age OF
~ however. of his own accord he went
back To Oran and entered the house
hold of Juan Caro-. from which he had
been removed seventeen years before.
Once more he became Christian, mar
ried one of Caro's slaves. joined the
army. and lived happily for ten years.
Then in 1863, he took part in an eXpe-
dition against the corsairs. The Di-
rates Won the day. captured Geronimo
among others, and conveyed the pris-
oncrs to AlgierS. AS one who had re-
nounced the Moslem faith they dealt
very bitterly with him. They required
him either to renOunce Christianity at
once or suffer death. He chose the lat

scrambled for them. The scene was
most extraordinary one. Holding their

this is left out, for if this was the law

spectator.
If the people can be made 10 stand
good for the circulation as is proposed
it will make an entirely different state
of affairs. The man who can raise
thirty thousand dollars, can go into
the banking business and have a
hundred thousand dollars of money as
COOL as gold TO do business with. 1t
will be as COOL as gold because the
credit of the nation is behind it and
every dollar that has ever been so
issued is as good as any other dollar.
Cleveland Iii int have the courage
to advocate such plan i'll his message.
His proposal that the banks OF the ma
ton mutually should be responsible
for each other was more nearly in lin,
with the theory of taking from the
government every appearance of being
engaged in the banking business.
OF course such a recommend was
never intended TO be incorporated into
law. The fiat of the government is all
that makes money and whenever gov
eminent fla is eliminated from the
business there is nothing left but bar
ter and trade. There is no money.
Hence the government must guarantee
the notes, or they will not pass cur
rent in the circles of trade. Cleve-
lands proposition would do to talk
about in connection with the idea of
eliminating the whole banking bust
ness, from any connection with the
government, but that is only to throw
a misty fog over the question. There
was never the least intention of hav-
ing the matter seriously considered
The government guarantee is the base
of every dollar to be iss@el. The
profit to the banking fraternity is the
impelling force in pushing the plan.

LaNS and LAWYERS.

Our lawmakers are nearly all law
yers. Our Judges are lawyers selected
by LAWYERS. And did it never occur
to you, reader, what an immense
amount of litigation and consequent
lawyers fees can be gotten ont of an
apparently simple and just statu @ :?
A case is decided according to the
law and the evidence" the evidence
frequently cutting very little figure in
the decision Il is carried to Il higher
court, again and again, and perhaps
is finally sent back to the place OF be-
ginning for fresh $ art. And all the
line the lawyers are reapinG rich
harvest from the field of contention.
All because different lawyers and diff
ferent Judges place a different con-
struction upon the same law 1t may
be truly sail that it is a mighty poor
lawyer who can't frame law that will
favor lawyers. A careful investiga-
ton of laws and lawyers will reveal
the fact that our laws are evidently
made to benefit lawyers rather than
serve the ends of Justice.

If our laws were written in short,
simple, plain sentences, leaving out
nine-tenths OF the whereases, the
aforesaids and the herein before men,

ton and taxes. As long as our laws
are made by lawyers in the interest OF
lawyers, one had better make almost
any sacrifice than 60 to law.

Peoples party are each aiming to ac-
complish certain results but each In a
different way. Trades unionism Is
the old way; Populism is the new
way. Trades unionism has been in
vogue for over a century; Populism IS
a political plaut of but recent growth.
Trades unionism arms itself with
threats, the boycott and the strike
the Populist weapon is the ballot.
Trades unions deals with the effect of
misrule; Populists seek to remove the
cause. Trades unions demand better
wages, shorter hours, and oppose child
labor; Populists demand plenty of
money in circulation which will en-
rich the laborer and render the labor
of his child unnecessary.
Trades unions scramble for the
crumbs which fall from the table of
pros Gritty: Populists propose to SIT
down at prosperitv's table. Trades
unions follow the policy of the serpent
which bites at the stick with which il
is smitten; Populists attack the power
which wields the weapon. Trades
unions tack unjust laws; Populists
sponsible for unjust laws. Trades
unions dip at the stream of official cor
ruption; Populists are forcing Their
way up the same stream to cleanse til :
fountain-head. Trades unions CON
centrate their efforts against single
employer of labor, and if they win a
temporary and insignificant victory
shout to the whole laboring world to
fall in line under their banner; the
Populis s make forward movement
along their whole line against the COM
bined forces of the enemies of labor.
The Peoples party constitute the
Army OF Reform: and trades unions
should como into the ranks and take
their place in the marching columns.
Because a WOO Imam. closely pressed,
once killed bear with an AK, it is no
sign that an AK is the best weapon
with which to kill bears. SO trades
unions are most excellent Organiza-
tlons for promoting the interests other

would give trades unions all and more
than ,hay demand in politics, it needs
a thoroughly organize political party

The Baltimore Plan,

The plan proposed by the bankers
at their meeting in Baltimore last
month and the recommendations of
President Cleveland in his message, as
well as the scheme which Secre airy
Carlisle has embodied into bill to be
urged in Congress, are essentially the
same though differing in some slight
details. Mr.. Carllsle's bill which has
been presented to the house committee
on banking repeats the law which re-
quires deposit of bonds as security for
the payment of the bank notes and
provides that the banks may issue
notes to the extent of seventy five per
cent. of their capital, upon deposiiing
with the United States Treasurer
thirty per cent. of the amount issued.
sums of ten dollars or upwards. A
duty of per cent. per annum is levied
on the average circulation. also an
equal sum each year, until an aggre-
gate of five per cent. is paid in to the
treasurer to be held as redemption
fund. Section seven provides that on
July 1, 1895, the present national banks
may withdraw the bonds now on de-
post and substitute thirty per cent.
deposit. 1t is further provided that
banks duly organized under the laws
of any state shall be exempt from tax
ATTIC under tine laws of the Unite /
States.
1t will be observed that Secretary
Carlisle has not included the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland that the banks
should be mutually responsible for the
circulation and it is we'll enough that
