CABBAGE PALMS.

The palm known as the cabbage
grows to a great height, some measur-
ing ITO feet. There is an avenue of
palms almost this height in Cayenne,
French Guiana.
The cabbage palm has its name from
the fact that the heart of the tree from
which the leaves spring is often boiled,
as we boil a cabbage. 1t is sometimes
made into pickles.
The wood of the cabbage palm, which
is very close and hard. split longitud-
inally, is made into cutters. but 5 too
thin for any other purpose. unless II
be the manufacture of canes.
When the lower leaves Of the cab
bage palm drop the broad part of the
footstalk forms hollow trough, some
times utilized by negro mothers as
cradles for their babies. Cut up, II
makes excellent splints for fractures;
the inside of the green leaves when
stripped and dried forms an excellent
substitute for velum and the tender
pellicle on the inside of the footstalks

ELECT A SENATOR

As this is a government by the peO-
pie. the people must now select and
elect a person to serve as Senator in
the place OF Mr.. Schmidt, resigned.
1t Is to be assumed that the people
know what kind OF a person will prop
erly represent them, and will desig-
nate the right man. 1t is the theory
or practise Of a class OF politicians to
instruct the people, and treat them
as IL they are quite incapable OF hay-
ing any minds Of their own, and OF
designating persons who should rep
resent them. The "masheen" was in
troduced for this purpose, and is very
effective In supplying the sovereign
people with ideas. The theory OF our
government is, however, that OF self
rule. Will the people not meet and
agree upon, and elect some person who
will fll the vacant Senatorial Office?

CARL SCHUKI.

Carl Schurz Is the President Of the
Civil Service Reform Association. The
professional patriots despise him. He
is opposed to Expansion. The profess
siOnal politicians and patriots hate
him. He opposed Hawaiian annexa-
ton and persisted in making incorrect
statements regarding the conduct OF
the men who led our revolution. So,
many Of US especially dislike him.
Schurz was a refugee from Germany
where he had, when young man,
preached democracy. He mastered the
English language with rapidly. Dur
ing the political campaign OF 1860, he
made a series OF speeches In the West
On behalf Of Lincoln, that arrested the

kITCHENER'S TEETOTALERS.

The advocates of total abstinence
should be delighted over the regula-
tons OF the British war department
on the matter OF the use OF alcohol. A
brief account OF them appears in an
other column. Lord Kitchener's SUI
perb victories in the Soudan were won
by an army OF teetotalers.
The advocates OF total abstinence
must not, however, forget that the
reason why 1t was possible to conduct
a dry" military campaign is that Lord
Kitchener had the sense and the abili-
ty to create the proper condition for
enforcing this rule. The army was am
ply supplied with all the material that
human ingenuity could devise to keep
every soldier in the best physical con-
dition. Men supplied with proper food
and clothing. and properly cared for
do not require stimulants. Instead Of
preaching the prosaic arguments of
the evils of intemperance. the British
war Office acted upon the injury aris-
ing from the greater evil OF bad by
genie conditions. To avoid these bad
conditions. 1t did not issue million OF
pamphlets on the subject, but removed
these conditions or prevented their
existence. II was doing and not talk
ing.
When the action of the British war
department Is followed by the social
reformers, and the conditions of So
ciety are gradually changed, SO that
wretchedness and poverty and despair
is not the lot Of large portion of the
population. especially in the cities, the
saloon question will be easily disposed
OF.
II is said that the proposition to give
Industrious and sober workingmen an
old age pension upon reaching their
sixtieth year OF age, will do more for
the cause OF total abstinence than all
Of the preaching, and lecturing. and
the publication OF narrowing literature
on the evils OF drink. Secure for every
man a home, and you create a condi-
ton which will create to large ex-
tent, a barrier against the aggressions
OF the rum bottle. II the temperance
reformers will no fix it that every
man who deserves II shall have land
enough for a home, and will prevent
such a holding OF Gods earth by a
few persons, they will make the dis
tillation of whiskey rather unprofit-
able.
II is indeed humiliating that one OF
the best illustrations OF the proper
method Of advancing the cause OF tenn
perance should come from the detest-
able art Of war, while an armv of
philanthropists continue 10 move in
the dark
