Loan SALlsBURY has prepared a pro-
grnmme of action which includes the fol
lowing points
!. A direct pledge in the queens
speech from the throne that liberal
measures shall be adopted for the pacli-
cation of Ireland, and to be followed, OF
course, by a bill in parliament provid-
ing Tor some plan OF Irish local govern
mcnt This plan is to be accompanied by
measures for the enlargement of the pow
ers oflocal government in England, Scot
land and Wales.
:. A decisive defensive campaign in
the Soudan. This, doubtless. means a
sharp offensive campaign. like that in
Burmah, as contrasted with the Soudan
failure under Gladstone's ministry.
B. A formal scheme for the govern.
ment of Burmah.
Ofcoure, the entire political situatior
in Great Britain will turn On the measure,
proposed in regard to Ireland The party
which bids the highest-that is, which
offers the greatest degree of independents,
to lreland-will receive the support o
the parnellites. If the party making
such a successful bid for Parnell's vote
can hold together. it will control a MAORI
~. But the probability is hat if cithe.
the Tory or Liberal leaders should offe.
anything like what Parnell would accept
the party behind the leader making sucl
offer would go To pieces, and new part
combinations on the Irish issue would b.
formed.

DIR. W. S. Janney, of this city, an ex-
coroner, is in the possession Of certain
facts from which the conclusion must be
almost inevitably drawn that the archives
Of the health office contain, under the in
nocent guise of medical certificates of
death from cholera morbus, enough muir
ders, were they traced to their guilty
sources, TO keep the sheriff busy during
tho whole of his ensuing term. These
facts are all based upon no less than five
post-mortem examinations conducted by
DR.. Janney and his associates during his
term, and an equal number Of chemical
analyses made by Professor John j.
Reese, and do not admit Of controversy.
DR.. Janney came into possession of them
by following a theory Of his own as to the
mortality in cholera morbus cases.
"When | came into Office said the ex-
coroner, II had been thirty years in active
practice, and l remembered during
all that time l had never lost u
case of cholera morbus when the patient
was a healthy adult. l also knew that
the symptoms of cholera morbus were al
most exactly similar to those Of some
kinds OF poisoning, usually arsenical.
From these facts l drew the conclusion
that behind every case Of a healthy man
or woman reported to the health board as
dying from cholera morbus there was
either q murder or a suicide.
Il don't know of any use of the publica-
ton OF this, - concluded DR.. %Janney, except
these reasons. Il may cause physicians
to be careful in giving certificates of death
from that particular disease. Again, it
seems to me to be one OF the many reasons
for filling the office of coroner with n
medical man, one who knows causes OF
death. PHILADELPHIA Cor. Chicago Her

who Wanted to Have Ills Own Y
Case of Unexpected RetrihuNnu.
Among tho passengers on the st. l.ouis
express on the Erie railway between pott
Jervis and Jersey City, was q very m.i-i
ovcr-drossed woman, accompanied IS %
bright-looking Irish nurse girl, who ha !

cupied u seat by herself. Tn nurse tn
child were in n seat Immediately in r. nt
OF her. The child-gave such frequent OK
hibitions Of temper, and kept the car flied
with such vicious yells and shrieks, Tint
there was n general feeling Of savage in
dignation mon the passengers. Al
though he time and again spat in hin
nurses face, scratched her name until TIN
blood came, and tore mt her huir and
bonnet, sho bore with him patiently. The
indignation of the passengers WAS made
The Greater because the chill's mother
made no effort to correct or quiet lin,
but on tho contrary, sharply chidnl The
nurse whenever she manifpafH any
frmness. Whatever the boy yelrel FOR,
the mothers cry was, uniformly;
Let him have it, Mary
BY the time the train passed Turner's
the feelings of the passengers Ind been
wrought up to boiling point. The remark
was made audibly here and there that it
was worth paying for to have the Young
ono chucked out OF the window. The
hopeful's mother was not moved by the
very evident annoyance the passcn gers
folt, and ct last fixed herself down in her
coat for q comfortable nap. The chiil
had Just slapped the nurse in the face for
the hundredth time, II was preparing
for n fresh attack, when a wasp oaIle
from somewhere in the car and few
against the window Of the nurses seat.
The boy Mt once made n dive for the wasp
as 1t struggled upward on the glass. The
nurse quickly caught his hand. and said
TO him coaxingly;
Harry mustn't touchl Bug will bite

Harry gave n savage yell, aud began to
lick and slap the nurse. The mother
evoke from her nap. She heard her sons
screams, and, without lifting her head or
opening her eyes, she cried out sharply to
the nurse:
@Why will you tease that child so,
Maryp Let him have it at oncet'
Mary let go of Harry. She settled bar k
in her seat with an air of resignation. but
there was n sparkle in her eye. The
yell hat followed caused joy TO the entire
car, for every eye was IN the boy. The
mother awoke again.
sMary," she cried, "let him have it,
Mary turned calmly in her seat, and
yTlth . wicked twinkle in her eye, said;
"Sure, he's got it, num-
This brought the car down. Every one
in it roared. The child's mother rose up
in her sea with a jerk. When she learned
what the matter was she pulled her boy
over the back of the seat and awoke some
sympathy for him by laying him across
her knee and warming him nicely. In
ten minutes he was as quiet and meek as
n lamb, and he never opened his head
again until the train reached Jersey city.

TnE most gratifying feature of the
heavy gains over 1884 which are shown
By the bank clearings of the United States
is the uniform and decided improvement
in small cities which are not speculative
ccntcrs or affected by sudden and tempo
r'ry waves of financial activity. 1t is ev-
dent that there is a growing volume of
business in all parts of the country which
could only come from a hopeful state Of
affairs in the industrial world.

The newspaper attacks upon one of our
oldest and most enterprising mercantile
firms for a supposed connection with ille-
gal filing on coal lands in this and the
adjoining county, are i'll -adyised, unfair
and should cease. Baker & johnson have
been in business here for many years;
both members of the firm are well known
here as upright and fair-dealing business
men, who would not knowingly encour-
age By aid or countenance any scheme to
wrong the government or any individual.
Among our public spirited and generous
citizens Mcssrs. Baker 4 johnson have
ever been foremost in aiding men of small
means in their efforts to develop the many
latent resources of the country, and espe-
cially of Laromic county. There is not n
miner or prospector, from the Black Hills
to the Silver Crown district, who
has not at various times during
the past fifteen years received gen
erous support from the members
Of this firm. They are to-day doing their
full share in this direction, and but for
their kind and generous interposition, by
giving substantial aid recently to a hard
working mine owner in this vicinity, one
of the most promising mining anterpris-
es would have totally failed for want of
support. The mining camps hereabouts
are wholly without men of Sufficient c
to prosecute their work of development,
aud it is such men as Baker 4 johnson,
who enable poor men to plsh on in their
labors, which ultimately will open to our
people sources of great wealth. TO abuse
such men is base ingratitude which should
not be permitted TO be manifested in the
public prints for the people of CHEYENNE
who know what this firm has done and is
yet doing for the general good, express
only kind sentiments and highest regard
for both members of the firm. That they
may have been led into a mistake by de-
signing schemers, is possible; but the
charge that they knowingly committed a
wrong against the government is discred-
tied by every citizen of this county.

The Torpedo.

A machine has just been patented
which promises to render the torpedo
still more effective. Hitherto there
has always been a great element of un-
certainty in the action of marine ex-
plosives, and not unfrequently they
have completely falsified the calcutta
tions of those who have employed
them. The torpedo has, indeed. some
times proved more destructive to those
who used it than to the enemy against
whom it was directed. The new ma
chine is called the 'torpedo guide"
and it is claimed that it can control.
with absolute certainty, the action Of
the explosive at a distance of three
miles. As the torpedo is launched on
its errand Of destruction a thin in
sulated wire is paid off, and, as the
wire Immediately sinks, communica-
ton can not be destroyed by the
enemy. The operator controls the
movements of the torpedo by trans
hitting a negative OF positive current
of electricity, and the 'tguide" is so
constructed that the attack can be d.
rected to any given point with mathc-
NAUTICAL precision. Even if the ship
from which the torpedo proceeded were
moving in one direction, and the e s
sci attacked in another, the torpedo
could still be employed, it is stated.
with deadly certainty.-N Y. Post.
