T.. q. AULT, Esq:
DEAR SIR.-In answer to yonr inquiry W hat
is nv position on what is at present known
as the bond question. / will simply say that
have always believed that the people OF the
State of Minnesota are the ones to settle the
question. and that it be submitted to them for
their rejection or approval at general cleo
ton have in the past acted upon that be
lief and would continue so to act, should
b.. elected to the Office of State Senator. |
have always understood that Sec. Art OF
the Constitution utterly prohibits any settle
ment without first submitting the question to
q nonular vote. The fact that the Republican
candidates are out in a card pledging them
selves not to support any proposed settlement
# tb;s question without submission to the
neenle. Is simply promise to do that which
have already done while in office SO far as
your last question goes | will sa that never
signed INV name or authorized any one to do
So ia any card or circular presenting reasons
Inv the people of Rice county should vote IN
favor Of the proposition before them last June,
and thereby with the influence OF my name
seeking to secure votes in favor OF the pro-
nosed Settlement Yours respectfully,

Music by Lightning.

When it wns first announced that Professor
Gray, of Chicago, had invented method
by which sounds could be telegraphcd and
music played in one city be made audible in
another the public was sceptical. The fact
has been demonstrated beyond doubt and
another wonder Of electricity revealed The
Boston experiment has been recently re-
peated successfully in Chicago by Professor
Gray, and airs played on the instrument in
Milwaukee were telegraphcd in sound to the
former city, a distance Of more than
eighty miles. An account of this strange
performance is published in another
column. We are glad to learn that New
listening to this electrical harp. Mr..
Maurice Strakosch announces that the
powers of the telephone, as the instrument
is named, will be tested between Phiadel-
phia and this city, so that persons sitting
in our Academy of Music will hear the sweet
strains played ninety miles away. The
date and the particulars will be soon made
known. The invention is SO recent that its
future uses cannot be predicted, but We
may safely believe that it is something more
than scientific toy. When sounds can be
transmitted by electricity over vast dis
tances there is q basis for the most astound-
ing development The time may come
when we can talk by lightning and swear
by thunder, and even that will not be
stranger than practical telegraphy itself
would have been hundred years ago.
When the voltaic pile was discovered no
one dreamed of what Morse would do with
it, and it may be that in the control of a
Wagner yet unknown the telephone may be
tho instrument by which the music of the
future may be telegraphed simultaneously
around the whole world.

Praying for tho President.

In every part of the country there will,
no doubt, be made to-day an earnest re-
sponse to the request of the new President
that the people shall join in an appeal for
Divine assistance to him in the discharge
Of his duties. AS this is a simple religious
observance, not only appropriate to the day
but appropriate by traditional usage to any
occasion in the nations history that may be
regarded as critical, and rs the people,
however they vary as to creeds and parties,
are, as whole, possessed Of deep religious
convictions, it is not TO be doubted that this
request. made in sincere and simple spirit.
MS we believe it to be, will have their SYM
pathy. This is ground, therefore. on
which men of the most diverse creeds and
parties may meet to-day in common aspira-
tion. In all countries it Is n common
formality to pray for the ruler Of the land,
and in this country the designation OF days
of public prayer on great occasions has be-
come an institution. 1t is apparently in the
spirit of that designation that this request
has been made, and though it may provoke
a sneer from those who doubt Mr.. Hayes
title to his Office, it will obtain for him the
moral support of that important body of the
people which is always ready to sustain the
man who means to do right.

The carpet-baggers and their friends at
Washington die hard. Those men who. in
the Senate and the House and in the Cab
met have maintained that the great scheme
of villany on which the Louisiana usurpa-
ton was built up was all virtue and honesty
and Justice cannot contemplate with patience
the sudden recognition by the President
of the true nature of the case,
while his just action in pursuit Of
that recognition fills them with dismay.

endangers their hopes for the future. These

Hayes very promptly, and the character OF

early by his action toward them.

Our London md Paris Cable Letters.

Our London md Paris Cable Letters.
They have decided in both capitals
and even Berlin is said to acquiesce
in the belief-that Europe is not to
treat her carrion crows this spring
to a quarter of million assorted
Muscovite and Moslem corpses. Certainly
this is cause for rejoicing, as there is no
telling whether. If the ball was once set roll
ing. England, Germany, and even France
would not be obliged to feed these same
voracious birds with the plump bodies of the
brave boys in their choicest battalions It
is to be feared that Turkey will be badly
plucked, even if peace is maintained;
tor NIL the evil spirits of fatalist despotism
seem to be lowering over the pal
&c. of the Sultan, while famine be-
gins to stalk through the land,
and the poor Osmanlis in the Balkans
are pcrishing by their guns. France,
not having any wholesale bloodlettings on
hand, is practising upon private throats in
a variety of acts which an illogical
world will call crimes, while, if the process
was on large scale, all tho world would call
it glory. Then Paris has its Patti scandal,
and since Nine Nicolini is about to enter
the field, We are likely to hear
"Robert. toi que j'aime' sung by the prima
donna to an accompaniment calcu-
lated to make the fur fly. The
elegant cynics of the cafes and salons
are rejoicing that their distrust in hu-
r,op;fv ceems 1ikc1v m be confirm, o5 in
this case but surely it would be gal
liant to wait until it is known whether
there is more than smoke in the
wrongs of the incensed Marquis. Paris,
however, has its great gencrosities, as
we see in the case of the grand charity ball
reported, and London can claim kindlincss
of its own in it's sterling tribute to the
genius of poor old Compton, the actor. From
Dublin comes word of the nationalist honor
to the dust of O'Mahony, with it's broken
harp-strings and patriotic names in white
on black curtain--the light-hearted nation
with it's sombrc background. The English
newspapers are wagging their heads wisely,
and it seems cynically too, over the result
of our Presidential problem; but English
opinion is not of so much consequence to us
now as when Dickens stung US with artistic
pin pricks in our foibles. The national cpl
dermis is thicker md the body stronger than
then. We cannot here outline one-tenth of
the pleasant things and sad things in our

Will be thought trivial enough, If thought of
at oil, two generations hence; and even his
gravest fault-too much military interference
in the South-will be attributed rather
to tho spirit of tho party that elected him
and his education as a soldier than to con-
tempt Of constitutional restraints. Among
the things that will be remembered to his
advantage tho most conspicuous are the
Alabama claims treaty, one of the greatest
trinmphs of American diplomacy, and his
courageous veto Of the Imitation bill when
it had passed Congress with a strong popu-
lar support from the country. 1t is chiefly
owing to that veto that he retires with gold

administration, like the mere routine of all

of his long line of predecessors can more than
two acts be found which transcend these in
real importance?
Mistakes President Grant has certainly
committed, and perhaps no administration
has been more fruitful III mistakes but it
is n solid proof of the great strength of his
character that, in spite of many mistakes
Of inexpericnce and some of waywardness,
he has been the strongest and most influen-
tial man of his party from the day Of his
Inauguration up to this day Of his retire
mcnt. Such mistakes as he has committed
would have ruined and prostrated an ordi-
nary man. The fact that he sur
yived them, that so long as it
was doubted whether he would not
be again candidate for tho Presidency
no republican statesmen dared to come into
tho field as his ayowed rival, Is tho most
remarkable negative testimony ever given
in this country since the time of Washing
ton to the personal ascendancy OF one man.
occasion to analyze and explain the singular
personal endowments which have made
President Grant so potent force in Ameri-
can political life. Two years ago he seemed
too strong for the safety Of our institutions !;
he made ineligible to modern minds the
practice of the ancient Greeks in ostrncizing
public men, when their influence, though
acquired by merit. had become too great.
At twelve o'clock to-day President Grant
becomes nero citizen like the rest of us,
and with the sincere tribute we have now
paid to his great qualities we cordially
wish him tranquil, pleasant and pro-
longcd, as we are certain that he will enjoy
an honored, old age.

by New Yorker. For the eight years that
preceded Grants accession it was also filled

Prof. Chase, Of Brown University,
adds his testimony to that Of the West
em farmers, to the effect that Paris
green is specific for potato bugs. 1t
will kill the bugs. He also believes
that Paris green does not injure the
potato. There may be other prepara-
tions which will answer the purpose,
but none of them have been sufficient
ly tried to afford a satisfactory guar
antee. And the fact is that in the
West, where they have had the bug
longer than we have, nothing is used,
as a rule, save Paris green. They
mix, say one part Of Paris green with
nine parts Of flour, plaster or any inn
palpable powder; place the mixture
in bag of sufficiently loose texture tc
permit the moderate escape ofthe con,
tents, put the bag at the end of a six
foot pole, and shake the article upor
the plants. The one important con
sideration is to prevent the mixture
from coming in contact with the face
or abraded skin. At meeting of the

dent of the Society expressed th'
opinion that the beetle, in coming East
was fleeing from its enemies, the in
