Hayes on whisky.

MrSNEAroLIs. April 1.-THE Mime
spolis 7ribuns publishes an extract from
q private letter to its editor from ex-
President Hayes. in the course Of which
he makes the following casual remarks
in relation to certain Published state
ments to which his attention bad been
called impugninR the consistency Of his
temperance principles and practice. Mr..
Hayes says: "with reference to the
matter to which you call my attention. I
have only this to say: When l became
President ! was fully convinced that
whatever might be the case in other
countries aud with other peoples. in
our climate and with the excitable. ner-
vous temperament OF our people. the
hsbitual use Of intoxicating drinks
vas not safe. l regard the danger OF
the habit as especially great in political
and official life. 1t seemed to me that to
exclude liquors from the White House
would be wise and useful AZ an example,
and would be approved by good people
generally. The suggestion Was particu-
Iarly agreeable to Mrs. Hayes. She had
been a total abstinence woman from
childhood. We bad never used liquors
10 our own home. and II was determined
to continue our homo custom in this 70.
spect in our official residence in Wash
inRton, IS We bad done at Columbus. !
Was not q total abstainer when ! became
President. but the discussion which
arose over tho change at the Executive
Mansion soon satisfied me that there was
NO halt. way house in this matter. Dur
ing the greater part Of my term, at least
during the last three years, I have been
in practice. ss In theory. Q consistent
total abstinence man. and shall continue
to be so. All statements, including the
one you send me, Inconsistent with the
foregoing. are untrue and without ioun'
dstiou."

important was developed in the Rich.
mond-Albion suit today. Most OF the

date. It was also shown that the Tptop
patented end line. the same being the
property OF the Richmond. had been
shifted about twelve feet 10 the direction
OF the bonanza in dispute. A Richmond
witness testified to having read q certain
notice Of location in 1869. When Sen.
ator Stewart presented Q copy OF the mo-
tics and asked him to read 1t to the
Court, he could not read . word Of II.
The testimony In the pending case will
all be In by tomorrow noon. II ID nov
thought that the other two cases will be
huished by Saturday evening. including
the arguments Of counsel. The Albion
today brought another suit against the
Richmond, to recover $4,000. 900. the
value OF ore extracted from the Uncle
Sam ground. This litigation 10 attracting

Current CatechiSm.

/. What do the agitators aim at?
No one knows, for they refuse to an
sser that question.
2. To what do they appeal?
They appealed to "the people" last
year and refused to abide their decision.
They have now appealed to the courts
and nd, rh have publicly refused to say
Some of their papers say if the courts
don't decide to suit them they will
overturn the courts and elect men like
Judge Williams and of like passions
with themselves.
3. What with them is meant by "the
people,"
That is a campaign technical phrase
with them, meaning the $1,000 men
who voted for Wilson, or little less
than one-fourth of the voters of the
State.
4. How does it become technical
Because the word in its ordinary ac-
ceptation means number of men, wo-
men and children, and is consequently
common gender, but as used by them it
denotes less than one-fourth of the male
Inhabitants above 81 years of age in the
State.
3, To what does the movement Of
the SO called low tax leaders tend?
No one knows, not even the mem.
bers of the Legislature, for Beasley and
Smallman said it meant to settle the
debt at two and a half millions, while
H0ynes and his paper, the Review and
Journal, said they meant to settle at
5O4 in good faith. But a few exam
pies will show whittier it tends, as
brought out by the following questions
and answers:
6. Where is Beasley, the boss?
lie has gone to the Greenbackers.
| 7. Where is Buchanan, of Lawrencef
Some to Maynard and Uncle Scion.
8. Where are Coils. Joe Gift and
Lew Shepard, gallant knights of that
elastic doctrine?
Gone to the Republicans, soul and
and body.
8. Where are Davis, of Putnam,
and Smith, of FeDtress, who rode into
Office on that broad bottom craft?
Davis went early in the action tt
Maynard q Co., and Smith went later
but went to the Republicans and fol
the 1908.
Well, where is Malone, the leader
of the Readjusters?
Gone to the Republicans, TO botE
the halfbreeds and the stalwarts, and
is now safe in the arms of Conkling.
II. To what then does the movement
tend? g
To anything on the earth or unde
the earth except to the true Democ
racy.
