are delighted and say his atti-

cratic and republican ideas, but society,
especially among the English element, is
highly incensed and indignant that the
soldier son of the queen and his Prussian
princess should have been slighted. :. sir

Minnesota Farmers In the House.

MIR. Iund Represents the Insercsts of tine
Minnesota Farmers I'm the House.
WASHINGTON. June 9.
In the house the silver debate was re-
sumed this morning. Lind, of Minnesota,
FIRST spoke. He said he represented an
agricultural district the farmers OF ahich
were not poor, but not wholly prosperous.
Their depressed condition was due 20 the
low prices Of agricultural products. He be-
iieved these we're affected By the amount
OF money la circulation. Increase
OF circulation advanced prices and shrink
age OF circulation diminished them. The
increase In the purchasing value of gold
was due 70 the fact that It's production
was decreasing, while its use In the arts
was increasing. II IL ever had been allowed
20 retain It's place as money through
out the werld. II too. would have
been enhanced In purchasing power.
Silver should be restored 10 It's
former position. This was demanded by
the great mass OF American people. II
was no argument 20 some people who
did not understand the question as
they did. People could think and
reason as well as members of congress-.
The Judgment of the popular mind. like
woman's reasonings, was generally right.
Commenting on the three measures before
the house he said the treasury bin was
the most Objectionable. Under a
friendly secretary II might be made
useful for increasing the column
OF the treasury, but under al unfdendly
secretary ID might be dangerous. Personally
he believed the free coinage bill pre-
sented not only the best but the
quickest way TO settle tho whole
question. But no believed ii was
always best to yield something, even TO
prejudice, II by doing so Legislation almost
equally etficaeious aud less Objectionable
could be secured. Such measure was
the republican caucus bill.
Flower. of New York, confined his re-
marks not to the silver question, but TO the
constitutional amendment regulating TO
the people within the prescribed localities
the choice Of such administrative officials
whose functions Of Office lie within q pre-
scribed area, and whose choice is of conse-
quenee only to the people whom they i'm
mediately serve.

LONDON, June 9.
The agitation aroused by the govern
men,'s proposal TO compensate keepers of
public houses for loss Of licenses through
the contemplated reduction of the number
granted has hitherto been confined 90 the
temperance element and others opposed TO
the measure for various reasons, giving the
impression that the bill had few IL any
friends outside of the ministry and it's
immediate followers. The belief was
strengthened by the elaborate preparations
which have been making for some time for
the great protest meeting which Ia TO be
held in Hyde park next Saturday,
when scores Of commoners and other
prominent men are announced 10
speak In denunciation OF the proposal.
Wednesday, however, three large meet
ings Of publicans and their partisans we're
held in London without any of the herald
ing of which next Saturdays opposing
movement has had the benefit. The speak
ers at these meetings earnestly supported
tho governments scheme and roundly de-
nounced Mr.. Gladstone for his opposition,
reminding him OF the downfall of his own
ministry through an attempt to impose a
burdensome and uncalled-for tax on beer.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed at the
meetings and abundant evidence was
shown that the pubhcans control sufi-

executive clemency, the president pardon
