The Only Exception.

The Punxsutawney Spirit tells Of an
old gentleman in Jefferson county, Pa,
who had worn the judicial ermine of an
associate judge for ten years. One day
he was asked by an old acquaintance
if he had ever been consulted by the
court while on the bench. "Never but
once" said the judge. only once IN
ten yearsl" exclaimed the friend. "It
must have been very important case"
"0h, no." replied the ex-associate, "it
was not a question of vital Importance,
1t was one day when the court had been
in session about ten hours, and had
sat there and dreamed and dozed, and
scarcely realized what was going on.
During a lull in the proceedings, just be
fore court adjourned, his honor turned
to me and said in sort Of sympathetic
way: Isn't that seat pretty hard|
l admitted that it was, and that was
the only time in ten years that the
court ever asked my opinion about any
thing"

CHINESE HAIR SOAP.

Is Disngreeable to Look At, But Has

In the great empire of China you run
across some odd things, writes Mar
gherita Arlina Hamm in the New York
Times. One of these is what we might
call hair soap, and is used for shampoo.

was composed of fine curled hay, oat-
meal, wheat husks, grease and little
boraX. It looks for all the world like
some of the oil cakes which dairymen
feed to their COWS in winter time. In
the market 1t rs sold by the cake, or to
those who cannot afford the luxury in
small pieces. The cake is round or
elliptical in outline, from an inch to two
inches in thickness, from twelve inches
to two feet in length and from eight to
fifteen inches in width. 1t must weigh
two or three pounds.
In using it your maid breaks off a
piece about as large as an ordinary
cake of toilet soap. When applied to the
hair it produces fair lather and the
hay and husk separate and work their
way into the scalp. The rubbing causes
them to polish the scalp as well as the
hair itself. The subsequent rinsing car
ries away all these vegetable ingredi-
ents and leaves the hair and scalp in
beautiful condition-the former soft
and silky. the latter pink and warm.
While the hair soap is very ugly TO look
at and seems altogether ridiculous, yet

THERE'S Difference.

We notice that many populists seem
to admit that the only difference be-
tween the populist and democratic
platforms on the money question is the
metal redemption feature While this
is surely enough, it is not all by any
means. There is nothing in the dem
ocratic platform inconsistent with the
retirement of the green backs; there is
nothing in it that can be construed as
opposed to state bank money; in fact
it was purposely worded at the sugges-
ton of Bailey, of Texas, so that it would
not declare against state banks. The
democratic money plank, when read
between the lines, and with a knowl-
edge of how the subcommittee, and
knowledge of a strong desire to return
to state bank money by many demo
cratic free silver leaders, means this
State bank money, retirement of green
backs and national bank money; free
coinage of silver. In the East the dem
ocrats rather prefer the national banks
to state banks of issue, but would pre-
fer state bank money to greenbaczs.
In the South they are decidedly in
favor of state bank money, and opposed
to greenbacks in the West they are,
as rule, in favor of green backs. Upon
the whole, the democratic party is OPP
posed to greenbacks, don't believe the
government ought to issue the paper
money, that in so doing it is encroach
ing upon the field of private enterprise;
that the issuance of paper money
properly belongs to the banking insti
buttons of the country. We do not be-
lieve there is a genuine populist in the
United States who would give his vote
in aid of reinstating the demo cratic
party in power if he thoroughly under

John Law Financiering.

We print today the rejoinder of Hon.
vice president on the Populist ticket,
to the arguments submitted by The
Macon Telegraph against the free coin
age of silver at 16 to 1 and against the
fat money issues proposed by Mr..
Watson. After reading his disserta-
ton, we have only to remark that the
lessons of history are all against him.
Would they were not so! If it were
only possible for the government to
make money out of paper and to
make it circulate at it's imprinted value,
there would be no more poverty, no
more hunger, no more wolves at the
door of the poor. Would that the gov
eminent could do this for if it could
there would indeed be plenty OF money
for every body, and toll would become
question of physical exercise instead
of an obligation put upon us by the
Almighty: Blessed is the state of that
man who can dream as Mr.. Watson
dreams, who can build glorious castles
in the air and be sure that they may
be obtainable, who believes that the
good day is at hand when the fat of
the government shall fill the purses of
everybody. 1t is most refreshing, as
one goes down the dusty road of life to
have the way cheered by the presence
of men like Watson, who. in the most
altruistic spirit is preaching the doc
trine that by mere change in the fl
nancial system of our government the
sky will rain larks. The manifestation
of such sublime faith must win respect
for him who has it, much as we may
believe his trust is misplaced. Perhaps
that man is, after all, the richest man
who is convinced that he is about to
seize the philosophers stone, and with
the currency of the realm. From that
view point Thomas E. Watson is richer
far than any Croesus who has ever
lived. We may further observe that
Mr.. Watson's article has special in
terest from the fact that he defends
the memory of John Law. In this
respect Mr.. Watson may lay claim to
especial distinction, for he is about the
first since Law ceased to vex the earth
who has undertaken to be the apollo
gist of the man who developed a sys-
tenn of national finance on the "Missis-
sippi bubble" History tells that Law
was a professional gambler, ard the
only difference between him and other
gamblers was that he played limit
less game. Mr.. Watson says that Law
went to France a rich man. That is
true, but his wealth was due to his
success at the gaming table. When
the leader of the Populist party, con-
fessedly the ablest and most courage
GUS of them all, deliberately sets up
John Law as an authority for a mod
ern financial propaganda, further ar
gument would seem to be unnecessary.
The reductio ad absurdum is complete.

THE IOWA
TRlBUNE.

upon us.
Our readers will remember that The
Iowa Tribune opened fire upon us soon
after the Pritchard election in North
Carolina, accusing us of sending to
Pritchard telegram of congratulation,
We answered this by denying that
any such telegram was sent, and by
suggesting to The Iowa Tribune that
1T was thinking of Mr.. Bryan, proba-
bly-he being the gentleman of Free
Silver proclivitics who had rushed a
telegram of congratulation to Repub-
lican gold bug, to-wit, VIM. Mckinley.
With this reply The Iowa Tribune
had to rest content for while.
When the Dingley bill was put upon
it's passage in the House, and its abom-
Unable features exposed themselves one
by one, we began to explain it and de-
nounce it.
The Iowa Tribune promptly fred
were fool for talking Tariff at all.
We responded to the attack by show
ing the vast Importance of the subject
of national taxation, and by showing
the manner in which the Dingley bill
legislated the money out of the pock-
cts of the toiling millions into the
swollen purses of the Privileged few.
We further showed that our position
could not be so far wrong for The Iowa
Tribune had itself assailed the Dingley
bill in another part of the same issue
which criticised US for attacking it.
We courteously excused the editor
from intentional donkeyism by sup
posing that when sober he attacked the
Dingley bill, and that when tipsy he
assailed others who attacked it.
Instead of feeling fattered at the
manner in which we sought to pull
him out of the hole, the Editor seems
to be mad about it. He has churned
his genius once more, and has brought
forth two column reply which is a
curiosity of inconsistency and spite
Forced to admit that he had criticised
us for assailing the Dingley bill which
he himself, had also assailed, the dis
tressed editor screens himself behind
the excuse that when HE assails the
Dingley bill he does it for purely EDu-
CATIoNAL purposes.
This weird attitude of imbecility on
the part of our fusion brother prompts
us to suggest to him that hereafter

Senate Floor.
Senator Hale's amendment to the U.
S. Senate rules designed to take from
lobbying ex-senators the privileges of
the floor which are now extended to
former mem bers of that body, has
called very pointed attention to one of
the glaring abuses which has grownup
around the national capitol.
1t has become notorious that certain
ex-senators have been able, through
the possession of this privilege of the
floor, to carry on more or less vigor-
GUS lobbying in favor of either some
thing in which they have special inter
est as lawyers.
The Hale resolution has resulted In
temporarily clearing the atmosphere,
if it does nothing else. 1t has gone to
the committee on rules and will be
heard from later.
AS for the men at whom it is aimed,
only one paper that | have seen has
undertaken to specify, though all have
done so as we'll as it could be done
without naming names. The Journal
goes the whole length, however, and
cites the following bill of particulars.
Ex-senator FELTON,, of California,
agent for the opposition to the annexa-
ton of Hawaii.
Ex-senator Gibson, of Maryland,
agent of steamship companies and
against restriction in immigration
laws.
Ex-senator Farwell, of Illinois, act
ing for those opposed to the passage of
bankruptcy law. Also agent for 3
scheme to purchase the mouth of the
Brazos river.
Ex-senator Paddock, of Nebraska,
agent of the Sabine Pass scheme.
Ex-senator Brown, of Utah, agent
for the opening of the Uncompahgre
reservation and the Gilsonite deposits.
Ex-senator Eppa Hutton, of Virgin
la, agent for private claims
Ex-senator Butler, of South Carolina,
agent for the Cramps.
Ex-senator Higgins, of Delaware,
agent for paper manufacturers.
Of course this may be wrong in some
particulars, but it is not so very far
wrong. The presence of these ex-sen-
ators about the halls of congress has
led to this talk and the reasons for
their presence will need very vigorous
explaining before people will be con-
WINGED that they are here simply as
patriots.
