From the Chicago Times.l
Mrs. Garfield Is Very Well OF.

She has 100000 in government bonds, the re-
suit of the subscription. Then her husbands life
was insured for $4,000, which she promptly re-
ceived. She was also paid the salary of the
President for The unoccupied first year, amount
ing to about $4,000 Then add to it about
$50 900, the total value OF Garfeld's estate. That
was the total amount after all the abuse that
was received, that he was able to accumulate in
life of fifty years That makes $4O0, 900, does it
not? suppose that the income from this total
of more than &4OO,O 900, will be perhaps $4,000
a year. She is also put on the pension list at
5000 a year. So she is comfortable and can
raise her children well.

We hear of several prospective candidates for
legislative hOnors, and oil combination tickets
for the Senate and lower House.
Florida is a growing State, and needs whole
some legislation in many things, and the pOlit-
ical aspirations of individuals ought not TO come
between the people and their right TO able and
capable representation.
We are judged, to a great degree in the outer
world, by our representative men, when chosen
by the popular will, and ignorant and incompe-
tent officials reflect no credit on their constituents

Republicans would have submitted the question
of forgery to investigation if they had not known
that forgery had been committed. The spirit,
which is directing the present Republican enor-
mites, is the spirit which rules in the breasts Of
all the men who shape the policy and control
the proceedings of the Republican party and
the duty of closing up our ranks and girding up
our lons for the overthrow of that party is
plainly our paramount duty TO our country.

The Reed Syndicate and the East Tennessee,

operate 1921 miles of railroad, and the construc-
tion Of the new link will evidently be pushed
rapidly on; and with such new and large con-
ncctlons given TO us, together with the other
great lines which now make our city an outlet,
Jacksonville will take front rank as a railroad
center. We congratulate our citizens upon the
outlook, and we cannot be too sanguine of our
future

How q Stingy Merchant was Punished
An Arabian story.

n
An Arabian story.
The Arabs tell a story to show how q mean
mans philosophy overshoots itself. Under
tne reign of the first Calph there was a
merchant at Bagdad equally rich and ava
ricious., One day he had bargafned with
porter to carry home for him a basket OF
porcelain vases for ten paras. As they went
along he said to the man:
"Ny friend, you arc young and am old;
you can still earn plenty. Strike para
''Wilingly |" replied the porter.
This request was repeated again and
again, unit /, when they reached the house,
the porter had only single para to re-
eeive. AS they went up stairs the merchant
said :
''li you will resign the last para | will
give you three pieces Of advice"
"Be 1t so," said the porter.
"Well, them" said the merchant, "if any
one tells you II is better to be fasting th b
ieasting, do not believe him. II any on,
tells you 1t is better to be poor than rich d.
not believe him. II any one tells you 1t IL
better to walk than ride In your carriage do
not believe him."
My dear sir" replied the astonished
porter, knew those things before bu,
II you will listen to me, will give you such
advice as you never heard before"
The merchant turned around and th,
porEr, throwing the basket down the stair
case, said :
'.If any one tells you that one of your
vases IL unbroken, do not believe him."
Before the merchant could reply, the
porter made his escape, thus Furnishing hie
| employer for his grcediness.

HANOVER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Rev. DR.. Marks preached a sermon from
Psalms Al and 10th verse, Gle hath not
dealt so with any nation" The speaker
said We were favored people and had much
to be thankful for; not only bountifui
harvest but a free government. In Europe
the young men were robhed of three years
of their life, being conscripted into the army
against their will; not so here. The great
QUESTION for our Statesmen to solve is how
to govern city wisely. A man living in
any of the old Continental cities had more
protection than man living in Chicago or
New York. Self-government was the very
best. A man that can govern himself Is
greater than he tnat taketh city.
The English Church offers prayer
for our President every day. At the
Centennial In 1875, over the display of goods
from Egypt, were these words "lhe oldest
country sends greeting to the youngest. !"
Egypt is still degenerating but America
pressing onward and is the wonder OF the
world. He warned us to be careful of our
institutions as we had all sorts and condi-
tiops of men to deal with who bring here
with them their peculiar. notions Of govern
ment The women of our country are more
respected than they are in any otner In the
| world. The discourse was very interesting
throughout. The singing was excellent and
the whole service appreciated.
Appropriate services were held in othei

aud 81 ,36S00 as the gross monthly amount

the recommendation of Assistant Superin-

contract did not cover these Items to suffi-

building. The change of water tanks from
the third 70 the fourth floor neceesitated
these extra expenditures.
