VISIONS of the pie counter seem to be daunting Hon, W. D. Bynum. He has ^een his congressional office taken from .Mm and i.o other yet in sight. Notwithstanding his standing up for whatever "4iie President wanted, he has not been able to secure a firm hold on another -•office. He now proposes to begin July 8th and make a series of twenty speeches in this state in favor of sound money.

Now if he can find a prominent citizen in 4he state who is not in favor of sound and honest money let him name the man out. If, however, he proposes to carry on a campaign in favor gold inonometalism .-he will continue his failure as a Statesman and friend of the common people.

THE dairy interests are among the greatest in this country, yet too little attention is paid to it. Secretary Morton, in the year book of the Agricultural Department, gives some excellent advice in regard to dairy interests. He appeals to dairymen to buy, breed and keep only such cattle as are of marked dairy type. Another thing of great importance is to .secure only healthy cattle. The effects rf foods on the production of milk should ?je carefully looked after. Farmers are ulso specially interested in this subject. The wealth and fertility of this county could both be very largely increased by greater attention to dairying interests. If all farmers would keep only the best viairy cows and by careful attention to 'She milk and cream, secure a uniform .high grade of butter.they could, through special agent, consign it all to some commission man at Indianapolis, Cincinnati or Chicago, and secure about twice the price that ordinary butter brings. By running the land in pasture and feeding all the produce of the farm at home, the fertility of the soil would be increased wonderfully. Sell off the scrubs and common stock and keep only the beet. .The best is none too goor\

GALLAUDET, Ind., Marion Co., April 30, 1895. DEAR SIR:—I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the war. At times unable to follow my vocation, that of a farmer. Last fall I was so bad with my old trouble that I became very weak which continued until about the first 'Of December when your special agent Mr. T. D. Cotton called on me and insisted that I give your Liver and Kidney Cure a trial. I had taken in these many years everything I could hear of and received no benefits. After taking one bottle of your medicine I found myself cured of my old army enemy and have had no symptoms] of my trouble since. I continued its use for kidney and bladder trouble of which I was also a sufferer and at present believe I am entirely cured. I can heartily recommend your Acme Kidney and Liver Cure to like sufferers. Yours Truly.

ACTON, Ind., Marion County, Aprii 28th, 1895. S. A. D. BECKNER Greenfield, Ind.

Dear Sir: I want to say to you that I believe you have the best Kidney and Liver cure on earth. I was troubled for 16 years with Kidney and Liver disease, was unable to work a great deal of my time on account of chronic diarrhoea. I had tried several good physicians and could get no cure. About Jan. 19th, 1895, I was induced by your agent, Mr. T. D. Cottou to buy your Acme Kidney and Liver cure and after using the first bottle I found myself greatly improved. I continued the use aud find myself entirely cured. In fact have had no trouble since taking the first bottle. This is for the benefit of suffering humanity. with great respect,

TOl THEY REM?

Rosebery's Cabinet Defeated on a Salary Question.

A CRISIS IS ALMOST CERTAIN.

The Government Will Ask For a Vote ot Confidence, and if It la Given, tlio Threatened Danger Will Be A vex* ted—A Cabinet Session Held and the Defeat Discussed—Their jList Hope.

LONDON, June 22.—The government was defeated yesterday on the motion of the Hon. William St. John F. Brodrick, Conservative member for the Guilford division of Surrey, to reduce the salary of the secretary of war by £100 on account of an alleged deficiency in the army stores aud munitions of war, chiefly cordite. The motion was adopted by a vote of 132 to 125.

The result of the division was so unexpected that when the paper was handed to the opposition whip Mr. Aikers-Douglass read the figures, he turned it to the government whip, Mr. Ellis, who had about read it when he saw it was a defeat and returned it to Mr. Douglass, who as the opposition had won, was entitled to report the figures. Mr. Douglass announced them amid loud applause.

The Conservative leader, Mr. Balfour, then asked what" course the government proposed to take, and the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Vernon Harcourt, announced that the government would proceed with a non-continuous bill, and the house proceeded to discuss the naval works bill.

The Unionists are jubilant at such an unexpected victory. The opposition whips only issued an ordinary "whip," but there was an immense amount of canvassing done to bring up their supporters.

The division occurred during the dinner hour, and some of the government supporters had left the house.

Great excitement prevails .a the lobbies of the house of commons, and the members wore eagerly discussing the expected dissolution.

The house adjourned at 10:30 o'clock without any further incident. It is reported that Mr. Campbell Bannerman, secretary of war, said to a friend in the lobby that this was his last night as a minister in the present cabinet.

Mr. Campbell-Bannerman was engaged in conversation with Liberal members in the lobby at the time of the division. He feels the defeat as a personal affront and resents its instigation by the front of the opposition bench to whom he had promised to give the information sought, if expressly called upon to do so, although he thought such publicity not advisable. They avoided the responsibility of making the demand, yet voted against him.

Lord liosebery came to town last night, and the cabinet meeting began in Sir William Harcourt's room in the house of commons and was continued at Lord Rosebery's residence until nearly midnight, the Liberal whip being present. It is understood that the cabinet discussed the possibility of reversing yesterday's vote in the report stage of the bill, although it is doubtful whether Mr. Campbell-Bannerman could be persuaded to remain in the cabinet.

The fright among the Liberals abated before the house rose, and the opinion was expressed that the government should ask for a vote of confidence, which would be certain to be given by the normal government majority. Thus the crisis would bo averted.

The general belief expressed, however, is that the defeat of the government means a crisis. The cabinet is now sitting, and it is believed that the ministers will decide upon a dissolution at the earliest possible moment. The business of the session can be wound up in short order.

THIS DID NOT SAVE HIM.

The Duke of Cambridge Promised to Resign Oct. 1. LONDON, June 22.—The secretary of state for war, Mr. Campbell Bannerman, announced in the house of commons Friday that the Duke of Cambridge, commander-in-chief of the British forces, will resign command of the army on Oct. 1. The post, he added, will not be abolished, but its functions will be modified.

Mr. Campbell-Bannerman added that future commanders-in-chief would be subject to the ordinary rules affecting other staff appointments aud the oftic would be tenable for the usual term of years, capable of extension. Continuing, he said that the commander-in-chief will be the principal military adviser of the secretary of state for war and with the adjutant general, the quartermaster general, the director of artillery and the inspector of forts, each being personally responsible to the secretary of state for war, would form a deliberative council to adfise the secretary.

Of course the announcement of the approaching retirement of the Duke of Cambridge has greatly pleased the Radicals, who have long demanded his resignation. The duke has been roundly abused in the Radical press as a fossil who was hindering reforms and who was incapable ot bringing the army up to the requisite modern standard.

Gladstone Again Becones Active. LONDON, June 22.—The Irish Catholic declares that the rumor to the effect that Mr. Gladstone will return to the house of commons is correct, and that he will lead the Liberals at the next general election. His object is stated to be the carrying of a home rule measure and thus finally settling the national quarrel.

Crooked City Officials in Chicago, .: CHICAGO, June 22.—The city officials who are investigating the stuffed payroll swindles received valuable testimony yesterday from ex-Foreman W. A. Dorman of he water pipe extension department. Detectives have been searching for him for several days and yesterday hb gave himself up and made a confession which it is said implicates many ex-city officials who are not yet under arrest. The details of the statement were carefully guarded by the investigators, but it is said that it is sensational in its showing of the widespread corruption under the city administration. It is reported that as a result of Dormau's confession a large number of additional arrests will be made.

THE LONDON POLICE.

THEY ARE COMPARED TO "THE FINI# EST" IN OUR LARGE CITIES.

Reason Versus Clubs—The Art of Conducting an Orderly Town—The Democracy of Monarchy—The London "Bobby" In a

Fight.

[Special Correspondence.]

LONDON, Juno J.—For the life of me I cannot avoid drawing a contrast between the police in London and the police at homo in New York. In London they area band of courteous public servants who are willing to oblige and give information to everybody. In New York they area proved sot of offensive blackguards and bullies. This is a hard and straight to the point way of putting it:, but it is the truth, the proved truth. And, again, no man can say that I am going back on America or am an angiomaniac. I love America above Hll other places, and I hate to have to listen in silence to the sarcastS) allusions English newspaper men make to me concerning the mock liberty that exists at home in New York.

Tho average wage of a London policeman is about 21 shillings a week (|(3) and even if he had the dcsii'e there is no show for him to levy blackmail. Contrast this with the salaries paid the patrolmen at homo and their opportunities, and remember also that money goes pretty nearly as far in New York as it does in London.

I have lived in London now for three months and have discovered a strange fact. It is this: In London the individual has much more liberty than he has in New York. Think of it 1 Here in the great town of an old monarchy there is .actually more freedom than there is in the great town of a new republic. It ought not to bo true, but it is true. In Hyde park you will hear men and women saying things for which they would be arrested and given a year's imprisonment in New York, and still London is a most orderly town. Yes the police of New York understand tho art of levying blackmail, but they don't understand the art of conducting an orderly town, and why men should have more freedom under a monarchical form of government than under a republican form is a riddle tho solving of which I leave to others. And people wonder at Americans becoming anglomaniacs. I'm beginning not to wonder at it at all. If things go on as they are going much longer, we might as well institute a monarchy at once and have done with it, or, what would be much nearer the mark, institute an autocracy.

The principle of the London policeman is to keep and preserve tho peace, restore order and seo that there is no breakage of the law. Tho principle of the New York policeman is to break the peace, aggravate disorder and have the law broken so that he may be able to levy hl.-ickmail. At least this is the principle lie acts upon. Tho following will illustiv\i the attitude of the London policeman toward those that come within his supervision. At about 10 o'clock last Sunday night, is I was sauntering along Thrwulneodle st reet, I saw two men fighting in tho entrance way of a public house. They wen* at it hammer and tongs, and I watched them l'or a short while, till suddenly up canto a policeman. At once ho rushed in ber.voen them, and after a great deal of diiiu-uity, in which ho was knocked about considerably himself, ho managed to part them. I noticed that all through the scuffle ho never attempted to strike either of them himself. Imagine a New York policeman doing this. After parting them he expostulated with them and advised them to go home. Then both began to tell him tho story of their grievance. He listened patiently and judicially to them, and when they were through he advised them to go home again. They took his advice, and then ho calmly resumed his beat. He had fulfilled his duty by restoring tho peace.

Even in the lowest and most dangerous parts of London the policemen show a disposition to perform their duties in a fair and humane way. If the roughs are doing anything out of tho way, they meet and talk to them as man to man, and only arrest them in a case of necessity. Often in Waterloo road and along New Cut I seo them in the act of arguing the point with unkempt looking, roughly clad men and boys. I suppose if I were to speak to a bulldozing, blackmailing police captain at homo of this way of handling the rough element of a city, he would tell me that it was all wrong, because it taught tho people not to bo afraid of the law. But he himself would bo in tho wrong. In the first place, ho would show that he knew nothing at all of human nature, because the best way to get the best out of people is by appealing to their reason and senso of propriety and not by pistoling and clubbing them. And, again, why should peoplo be made afraid of tho law? Why shouldn't it bo helpful and protectful to them?

The way that tho London police handle a great crowd is magnificent. You never see a club raised or hear a hard word used. Tho police are courteous and civil, and the people pay attention to any request they may have to make. Apropos of this let me tell you of what I once saw in Chicago. It was during a big celebration, and the streets were thronged. The police had to clear a passage through a dense crowd of people. How did they do it? Why, simply by cursing at, shoving and pushing them, and when they were unable to get out of tho way fast enough by murderously clubbing them. I saw the blood of free American citizens fall upon the stones because, like a lot of frightened rats, they were unable to obey a policeman's order fast enough.

This order of things exists In a greater or lesser degree in every big city in America. It is perhaps at its worst in New York, but policemanism is tho same character all over the States. And I am sorry to say that the policemen aro in the main men of my own race—Irishmen. As I see the way the police manage things here in London a keen sense of duty makes mo write this letter as strongly and as much to the point as possible.

The Relief.

The Eskimo chieftain was as hard as to his heart as the bergs of his native fastnesses. "Back," he commanded.

The explorer was fain to parley, "I am but one," ho urgod. "I know it," rejoined the arctic potentate, "but if I admit you there'll be all the way from 14 to 156 relief expeditions after you, and our people will know no such thing as privacy."

Within a few steps of the intersection of two of the busiest through fares in Chicago, if not in the entire country, is a store through the portal of which more people pass in the course of a day than enter into and depart from any other establishment of its size in the West.

The exterior of the place gives immediate evidence of its character, which is that of a center of current news and information. It is the news and periodical depot of Charles !MaoDonald at 55 Washington street, who waites the following letter:
