The Charm Of Gen. Booths Book.

One charm Of Gen. Booths recently pub
lished book, I'm Darkest England" is the
frankness with which he treats of all other
schemes of decentralization socialism,
land nationalisrn and the like He has a
good word for all of them and one criti-
cism-they look to distant future. He
frankly confesses that he cannot work that
way-he wants to help those who are in
misery now, no matter whether it is their
fault or not. And, another unusual pro-
ceeding for his class. he fatty declares that
in majority Of cases the misery is largely
the fault of the miserable. Hence-and
this is the strong element in his book-we
must attack the evil physically and spirit
ually at the same time. All tchemeswork
ing on one side only Of mans nature will
fail as all such have failed.

MIR. HUFF's RESOLUTIONS.

The resolution Of Councilman Huff in
favor OF discharging any city employe
whose wages have been garnisheed for
debt, is not in line with his usual judg-
ment and fairness. The city should not
be made debt collector, when the
usual machinery of law is still avail
able for operation. An honest debtor is
as liable to DO the object of a garnishee
as dishonest enc.
But 1t is still pleasing to see that
Councilman Huif's sense of official
rectitude is still keen and uncompro-
missing. AS member of the special com.
mittee to investigate the city officers
he will, of course, come out fiat.footed
against set of Off ,ials who, by their
own confession, have violated specific
city ordinances and been guilty of
gross neglect of duty.

THE GILLIAN SITUATION

The relations between the United
States and the new government OF Chilli.
which were recently the subject of
several long secret conferences at the
White House, are apparently unchanged.
Minister Egan is evidently irving to
carry out the instructions he recently
received from Washington to maintain
the rights and dignity OF the Govern.
ment he represents. Mr.. Egan's ulti-
matum, that friendly relations must
cease If the present attitude is main
tanned by the Junta, is doubtless backed
by instruction from Washington.
There is likely to be a turn in affairs.
however, in a few days. If the refugees
are allowed to go aboard the Baltimore
and depart from Gillian shores tho
bone of contention will have been re-.
moved and there will be no cause for
other than friendly relations between
tho two governments If the Jun;a re- =
fuses Minister Egan's request, friendly
relations must necessarily cease.

ployed as one of the boxers in the marble

very little. He has very frequently told
Warden Richmond that he expected TO
be pardoned after serving a few months,

be too hopeful. At the December term
of the WIN isor county court he was con-
Yicted of IT'S offenses of selling liquor,
the prosecution being pushed by the
faculty OF Dartmouth college. KILLINGS

tavorIte, though forbidden resort for the
students. The whole sentence was 22,047
days, or over sixty years, and is the
longest ever known to have been imposed.

which became famous in 1882. Bridget
Kennedy, of Rutland, was convicted of a

FREE SILVER DOOMED
House Committee on Coinage
Decides to Submit
An Adverse Report on the
Senate Silver Bill.
Gen. Sherman's Remains on the
Way to st. Louis.
Free Coinage Defeated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The house
committee on coinage, weights
and measures today voted to submit an
adverse report on the senate sill
yer bill. The four me-bers in the
minority were Carter, BartiDe, Bland and
Williams. The two first named are Re-
publicans and the two last Democrats.
The majority was Wlckham, Walker,
Comstock, Knapp. Taylor, Republicans,
and Tracy, Wilcox, Yaux, Democrats.
When the free coinage men found that
they were defeated on the senate free
coinage bill, Carter moved as a substi-
tute, first, a bill for the free coinage of
the American product, and, next, one for
the purchase OF 10. 0OO, 900 ounces of silver
for three months and 5000. 900 Tor each
month thereafter, Both were defeated.
ONLY Carter, BaItine and Bland voted for
the first, and Carter anG Bartine for the
second proposition. The senate free coin
age bill will now go to the foot oil the
overburdeDed house calendar, with the
committee recommendation that it do not
pass. Before the committee closed the
hearings, this morning, Congressman
elect Jerry Simpson of Kansas, argued
In favor Of free coinage. The farmers
demanded more money. he said. He did
not care If free coinage did cause foreign
silver to come to the United States; he
wished it would. 1t couldn't come TOO
soon, for it would give the people more
money.
The silver bill will be reported to the
house tomorrow. The majority report
will not go into an argument Of the
question. The silver men generally are
disposed to regard today's action as
practically the end of silver legislation for
this congress. An effort will be made to
have the bill acted on by the house. but
Its friends do not express hope of success
The anti-silver men are well pleased, and
Representative Walker expressed the
opinion this afternoon that the bill would
never see light again in this congress.

WAsHINGroN, Feb. 2O.-Cannon re-
ported from the committee on rules a
resolution for the immediate consideration
Of business reported by the committee on
judiciary, the first bill to be the one for
the relief of the supreme court, with SEN
ate amendments. After an Intellectual
effort by Blount and Breckenridge to de-
feat the resolution, Cannon took the floor,
stating that he would say a few words as
to the merits of the proposition.
McMiliin of Tennessee inquired whether
Cannon's object was not the prevention of
the forty minute debate allowed under
the rules.
Cannon replied in the affirmative. In
view of the dilstorv motions already made
on the Democratic side, under the lead OF
McMillin, the Republicans accepted the
notice from that side that 1t did not desire
to facilitate business.
McMillin said the Democrats would
meet Cannon's programme at every point.
Blount moved to recommit the reso-
luton and, on yeas and nays. the great
body of the Democrats LETT the ball. The
vote resulted-yeas IL. nays l50-the
clerk noting a quorum The question
then required on the demand for the
previous question. and having demanded
the yeas and nays, McMIllin called the
Democrats from the cloak room to his
support Having obeyed the signal long
enough to accomplish McMillin's object,
the Democrats once more disappeared.
The motion was carried yeas-l50, nays s.
a quorum being noted. The resolutions
were then agreed to-l55 to 4.-and the
court bill was Immediately taken up. The
senate amendments were -%concurred in
and a conference ordered.
The house substitute for the bill fixing
the salaries of United States district judges
was withdrawn, leaving the senate bill i'll
its original form, providing that the
salaries shall be 5000 per annum.
McMillin offered an amendment re-
ducing the salaries to 81. 600.
To this, j.. d. Taylor offered an
amendment providing that the salaries
shall be increased to s.. O No quorum
voted, and the house took a recess.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-A rumor was
afoat tc 'NY that the president had de-
cided to ppoint Congressman j. G. Can
non as secretary of the treasury. Mr.. Can
non says that he knows nothing of the
matter, and states he has not been a
candidate. 1t is known, however, that
his name is under consideration, along
with various others, but a story comes
from the white house to the effect that
the appointment will not likely be made
until March .. 1t is not believed that
