MKF-KKK SIDIXG.
lhe have-been populists and silver republi
cans are much amused at their worthy, or,
otherwise.unworthy,commissioner, Mr Hinch
liff, over the resolution he offered at the last
meeting of the board. They say they are
neither commissioners nor sons of commis
sioners, but with their little knowledge ot "re
form," reduction of salaries and economy—the
watchwords of the party which elected him
four years ago—it is amusing, to Bay the
least, that after all this time he should have
just found out that there are too many depu
ties about the courthouse. But, after all, it is
about an even stand-off. The deputies are, of
curse, well paid, and the commissioner better.
But resolve, Charley, while you can; because
your former supporters in this part of the
county have also been doing a little resolving,
the outcome of which is that if you once more
come before them for office to retire you to

Bryan to Colfax has for them no pleasure, as
they say they are tired of his cheap money
talk ami weary, very weary, of his anti-im
perialist bogey and anti-ex pan-ion flub-dub
ii«ry. Every one sees now the fallacies of his
silver theories —good in argument, but worth
leM in practical use. This is Tampa precinct

A New Book.
" Echoes from the Pulpit and I'lat
f.Ttn, or Living Truths for Head and
Heart," by I). L. Moody, h the title of
a new and splendidly illustrated vol
time, the prime object of which in to
perpetuate for all time the great and
living truths taught by the world
famous evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, as
exemplified in his platform work. This
volume is Dwight L. Moody in print,
and is the only one that contains the
bent and ripest thoughts of his later
years. It also contains a complete
story of Mr. Moody's life and career, by
Hey. Charles F. (Josh, 1) 1)., who for five
years was his assistant and co worker,
and who at Mr. Moody'a urgent request
was pastor of the latter's church in
Chicago. Every phase of his liventfa!
life is here portrayed by the one man
.above all others who was'choHen by Mr.
Moody himself as his fellow-laborer, and
the pastor of his own church. It also
contains an introduction by Rev. Lyman
Abbott, I). 1)., being the only book on
Mr. Moody for which Dr. Abbott has
written, and no higher compliment could
be paid to the value of the volume.
This unique volume stands peerless and
alone, for there is no other like it. It
is largely autobiographical, for no
person can portray Mr. Moody's life and
experiences so we'll as he himself has
done in his own words in this volumne.
If we speak warmly of the book it is
because it richly deserves it. It is sold
only by agents, and as might be ex
pected is meeting with a large sale. The
book is published by the old and well
known firm of A. ]>. Worthington & Co.,
Bart ford, Conn., whose imprint is suf
ficient guarantee of its great excellence.
They want more agents for it.

Chicago, March 20—The Timea-

strike in Chicago. The new form of
government adopted by the machinists
which does away with nearly all the
objectionable features has been signed
by 22 firms, and it is expected that to
day that TOO of the 6000 striking ma
chinists in Chicago will be back to work
under the new agreement.

tary Root occupied nearly the whole
time of the cabinet meeting today iv
describing his recent visit to Cuba ' He
told the president and his fellow mem
bers that he found the condition of
affairs in the island encouraging, and
tnat he could at present suggest only
minor matters for improvement. He
Haul that in his opinion the people
were not ready for self-government, but
that such a condition could be brought
about steadily and satisfactorily. Local
self-government, with a gradual' expand
ing of the functions allowed to the inhab
itants, is the policy which Mr. Root
advocated.
The secretary recommended that a
change be made in the method of
handling the insular funds. At present
the money ie deposited in surety com
panies which give a bond, but the sums
of money have now become so large
that this method is regarded as unsafe
It is proposed that the funds of disburs
ing officers be deposit* d in banks which
shall furnish I oited States bonds or the
city of Havana for security, and that
the other funds of the insular govern
ment be deposited in government vaults.
