MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April 1s.-The
Tribune published tJ.dsy an extract from
private letter to It's editor from ex.Presi.
dent Hayes, in the course Of which he
makes the following casual reference to
certain publishes statements to which his
attention had been called, impugning the
consistency Of his temperance principles
and practice. He says;
"With reference TO the matter TO which
you call my attention have only this 10

the case 10 other countries and with other
people, In our climate, and with the ex.

pie, the habituAl use OF Intoxicating
drinks was not sale. l regarded the
danger OF the habit as especially
great in political and official life. Itseemed
TO me that to exclude liquors from the
White House would be wise and usefal as
an example, and would be approved by
good people generally. Tho suggestion
was particularly agreeable to Mrs. Hayes.
She had been q total abstinence woman
from childhood. We had never used
liquor in our own home, and 1t was de.
teTmined 10 continue our home custom in
this respect In our official residence In
Warrington as we had done at Columbus.

WAHGSGroS, April l6.-Ths interview
Of Virginia Republicans, yesterday, with
the President, an account Of which was

raising quite row in camp, The leading
Virginia Republicans sustain Malone and
the Malone movement, and are trying 10
correct the impression made by the visit
OF the delegation 70 the President yesteE'
day, who protested against allowing Ma.

CATION, either as to the political situation
or 10 the removals from office asked for,
1t does him injustice, inAsmuch as he
promptly stated 70 the President that he
was taken by surprise at the delegation
going beyond the previously expressed
object Of their visit.
"Very respectfully,
"RoBERT BOILING"
The facts, as detailed by Nj. Jorgensen,
are these; A delegation OF strAight.out
Republicans, from Petersburg, Virginia,
called on Mr.. Jorgepsen 10 present them

TO the President, much TO the surprise Of
Mr. Jorgensen, one Of their number stated
that the Postmaster at Petersburg, and
James D. Brady, the Collector Of Internal
Revenue, had both voted for Hancock and
English at the late Presidential election,
on which grounds their removal from Of
6cs was demanded.
Mr.. Jorgensen here interrupted, stating
that lie was misiniormed as 10 their
errAnd; that be was not here at this time
to request the removal oI any one, and II
there was to be q change made In the
Postofice in Petersburg, ct the proper
time he would present the name OF Q
gentleman who was indorsed BY nearly

The ZodiannI Lirhf.

Cincinnati Commercially
The absence of the moon from the
sky during the early part of the even
ings of the coming week will furnish
an opportunity for observations of the
zodiacal light. 1t is now quite bright,
and may be seen even when the moon
is above the horizon, but it is always
better to observe objects such as this
during a clear, dark night. The
zodiacal light as seen in evenings ap-
pears as a nebulous light of a c%Onical
form, extending from the western hor.
lion obliquely upward, generally as
far as the Pleiades. 1t shades off so
gradually toward its edges that it is
impossible to determine its exact
limits. The most favorable time for
seeing it is just after the last trace Of
twilight has Misrepresentation half
after six o'clock. Its greatest bril-
liancy occurred about the middle Of
March, when it was brighter than
the Milky Way. AT the present time
it is still about as bright as the Milky
Way, but is growing fainter. An
inner cone of greater brilliancy may
sometimes be detected close 10 the
horizon. The zodiacal light has a red
fish hue, especially at its base, proba.
ply due to the atmosphere. 1t is also
brighter toward the horizon, where It
obscures faint stars.

SHADOW OF REPUDIA-
TION."
Intelligent View OF an Outside
Newspaper.
yiokshurr Commercial. 1ath.l

Vicksburg Commercial, l9th.l
We think we see the shadow Of re.
pudiation plainly approaching in Ten
nessee. The state owes a large debt,
and two years ago the people, by a
majority Of some thirty thousand, re-
fused to agree to pay fifty cents on the
dollar with four per cent interest.
Taking the result Of the election Of
last year as a favorable omen, the
bondholders have become more strin-
gent in their demands, aud recently
onelhranch ofthe legislature has passed
a bill to pay the entire indebtedness,
dollar for dollar, with three per cent
interest, the debt to be paid in ninety
nine years, aud the interest coupons to
be receivable for taxes. We have no
means of knowing what will be the
fate of this measure in the other
branch Of the Tennessee legislature,
nor do we much care. We have a
decided opinion, however, that the
enactment into a law OF such a propO.
sition will ring the death-knell Of the
bondholders. We are profoundly con-
WINGED that the people Of Tennessee
will never agree to a measure which
places the property and industry Of
the state in pledge to the b~ondholders
for ninety-nine years, and the sooner
the holders Of the bonds and their
attorneys realize this fact, the better
it will be for all concerned, Ii the
bill now before the legislature becomes
a law, the next question before the
people of Tennessee will be rcpudia-
ton, pure and simple. The PROPOSE
ton to repudiate the entire indebted
ness of the state viii be carried by an
overwhelming majority, and for this
result the bondholders can thank their
own insatiate greed, and the superser-
viceable zeal Of their attorneys. Mark
this prediction.
The only serious misapprehensioni in
the above is that this settlement will
or can be undone. 1t is intended to
forestall the people more efectually
than if such a surrender to the bond
holders were incorporated in the state
constitution, for that, in the course Of
time, might be changed. This settle
ment seeks to bind the people aud
turn them over to the federal
courts. 1t makes the bOndholder
preferred tax collector for
his own benefit, and he will have a
prior claim even to the necessary run
ming expenses of the state. The luna
tics, the deaf, dumb and blind may be
unprovided for aud turned loose to
die, but the coupon holder must be
paid. This is the cold-blooded, mer
CHESS adjustment proposed and likely
to become a law. If it holds in the
federal courts as intended the people
will have no redress more than tie
tenants of ireland. The non-residents,
as over there, will enforce their claims.
We hardly think it will be in the
power of the people of Tennessee to
repudiate anything except the legisla-
ture that dares to put the gives upon
their wrists and set them TO making
bricks without straw.

Of whom Chicago may justly be proud.
Her histrionic talents are excelled by
few and not equsled b ymany. In the
trying role of Lady Macbeth and 9TH
ers high on the lists she has acquitted
herself in a manner hat has elected
the encomiums Of those Of the profess
sion who have received the highest
honors. As a reader she stands among
the foremost. Tuesday evening she
delighted a large audience in the hall
Of the Union Catholic library assOcia-
ton. The vocal and instrumental
music of the evening was given by
Msss Nora Mcmahon, Of Chicago, a
most beautiful, talented, cultivated
and accomplished young lady, daugh-
ter of Hon. John Mcmahon, one of
our most substantial citizens.
A "banished socialist is Frederick
W. Fritsche, of Germany, but now a
resident Of Chicago. For his liberal
sentiments he was expelled from the
reichstag. In a late lecture he ever
lastingly scored the German govern
ment. During his discourse he re-
marked that the car was a tyrant and
deserved his fate; and such an end he
hoped might be that ofall despots.
Some Chicago critics do not like
Fanny Davenport's Camille"
General Malone, Of Virginia, SO far
as his recent acts are concerned, at
tracts considerable attention in Chi
cago. The republicans wink when
his name comes up, and the democrats
consider that there is an African some-
where in the shrubbery. 1t may be
possible that Mahone's upper story was
knocked out of plumb while in the
army during the little 1npleasantneSs.
This is a charitable view of his po-
sition. The best thing to do is to let
the diminutive alone, trusting that
David Davis, of Illinois, will acci-
dentally sit down upon him.
Another good institution is Don to
be established in Chicago. 1t will be
a home for triendless working women,
Mrs. o. G. Edick and daughter Maud
are to be the founders.
Mrs. WILDER +. Storey, wife of the
proprietor of the Chicago Times, is an
artist Of acknowledged merit. Her
latest work is a portrait in oil Of her
liege lord. This she presented to the
Chicago press club.
The New Orleans fireman, August
Ohsie, who was recently so outrage
ously beaten in Chicago by a gang
of villains, is still in a pr~ecariouS
condition. The fends will be made
to suffer for their murderous work..
Jay Gould tarried a few hours 10
Chicago the other day. The railroad
prince looked as happy and healthy as
a healthy and happy king. He con-
siders that his railroad projects, to
aud into Mexico will be Of vast bene-
fit to this city.
Tx Vice President Colfax lectured
lately in Chicago to a large audience.
Subject: Across the Continent He
is a fine speaker and a splendid word

The middling class of Chicago are
kept poor by attending funerals. They
are an expensive luxury and none but
the wealthy should enjoy them.
