nezendnrf,s Testimony.

Some idea of MahOne's methods and
purposes is obtained from ex-COngress-
man Dezendort s testimony before the
Danville investigating committee on Mon
day. Mr.. DezendOrf is a Republican, and
has always opposed the coalition between
the Readjusters and Republicans. He
says that if the Democratic national
ticket had been elected in 1880 Malone
would now be acting with the Democrats.
Malone is political adventurer
who is guided by the chances of success
and not by principle. The Malone party,
OezendOrf says, is made up almost
entirely of negroes, and they would not
support him for an hour if it were not for
the fact. that he is backed by the admins
tration. During the last campaign the
Republicans were bulldozed and intimi-
dated all over the State by the MahOneites.
Their meetings were interfered with and
broken up, and they were afflicted with
various other annOyances. OF course
Dezendorfs testimony must be taken
with some grains of allowance, because
he is a persistent and bitter enemy of Ma
hone, but what he says IS close to the
truth. 1t is undoubtedly true that with
out the active help Of the administration
Malone would have little or no support
in Virginia. He has had the control of
the entire Federal patronage of the
State, and he has used it
not only to reward those who
helped him in his political schemes, but
also to prove to the negroes that the adj
ministration was sustaining him. The
Republican leaders were pushed aside to
make room for MahOne's lieutenants, and
the negroes gradually came to recognize
Malone as their leader. Dezendorfs
testimony was a bitter pill for Mr.. Sher-
man, the Chairman of the investigating
committee, to swallow. 1t showed that
the real bulldozers and intimidatOrs in the
Virginia campaign last fall were Ma
homes fOllowers-the very men who called
upon Congress to investigate the Dan
Vile affair. Dezendorf's testimony fur
Their showed that the course pursued by
the MahOneites was the cause Of the Dan
Vile riot. When Mr.. Sherman gets
through with this investigation it is prob
able that he Will have reached the con-
clusion that it would have been better not
to have called for it.

up to her seat and took possession of il

and he had the hardest kind of work
to keep up a conversation, and as the

MIR. PAYNE WON'T TELL.

Brief Interview.

But an Inference to be Drawn from a
Brief Interview.
Col. Oliver Payne's statements in the
question of his fathers candidacy for the
Presidency, says the New York Times
special from Cleveland, having been Sc
conflicting and contradictory, a reporter
to-day called on H. B. Payne. at his resi-
dence for the purpose of obtaining infor.
nation direct. A fairly satisfactory in.
ference may be drawn from Mr.. Payne's
statements. The conversation as char.
acterized by brevity.
81 have noticed" said the reporter
"that there is a desire abroad in the land
to learn whether or not you"
"NO! mop interrupted Mr.. Payne, with
an engaging smile, as he took up few
inches of slack in the silk cord which con-
fined the ample folds of his gray dressing
gown, and cordially opening the door to
permit his visitor to depart. 81 cannot
talk on that subject"
As no subject had been suggested the
reporter imagined that Mr.. Payne had
not rightly guessed the object of his er.
rand and began again: 81 should be
pleased to know whether you are candi-
date for the Presidency" was the modest
request.
Still smiling and opening the door, Mr..
Payne replied somewhat irrelevantly: SIT
men Will chase the shadow for the sub
stance, l cannot help it,
Having the shadow and substance
both at hand" suggested the reporter, 81
would be extremely glad if you would
give me an answer
81 will not be interviewed on the sub
ject," returned Mr.. Payne.
But your son, Col. Payne, has been
quoted freely and frequently on the point,
and not twice alike in succession"
81 am not responsible for his utter
ances," interjected the Senator.
Continued the reporter: Gin the last
interview with him l read l noticed that
he was published as saying that you were
not a candidate"
"My son and l are two different per-
sons" again somewhat hurriedly respond
ed the Senator, as he prepared to close the
door behind the disturber of his quiet,
land do not hold myself responsible for
his assertions"
The inference was plain.

The Jeannette Investigation

The investigation of the causes of the
loss of the Jeanette, now being con-
Quoted by a committee Of the House,
shows pretty conclusively that in the
investigation made by the Navy De-
partment, soon after Melville, Danen-
hover and others returned, the truth was
suppressed. The present investigation
was ordered at the request of the
brother of DIR. Collins, a member Of
the Jeanette expedition who persisted
with Captain belong, near the mouth of
the Lena river. 1t was asserted at
the time the Navy Department investiga-
ton was going on that DR.. Collins had
been ilI-treated, but for some reason or
other little opportunity was given to
question the witnesses about the matter.
AS now appears the truth was that the
witnesses were afraid to testify freely, as
the Navy Department desired to
prevent anything like scandal reach
ing the public. That DIR. Collins was
badly treated, and that there was
a good deal of ill-feeling among the officers
of the Jeanette, there is not much reason
to doubt. 1t is even probable that the
Jeanette and her crew were not properly
equipped for an Arctic expedition. The
Navy Department would have acted much
more wisely if it had encouraged full
and free inquiry. 1t was shOrt-sighted
policy that proceeded on the theory that
the truth could be hidden. The House
committee appears to want the truth, and
if Melville, Danenhower, and the other
survivors, want to tell it they now have
the opportunity.

The Blair Bill.

The large majority by which the Blair
bill passed the Senate justifies the con-
clusion that it will pass the House. 1t
may be modified in some respects, but II
is hardly probable that it will be radically
changed. It is to be regretted that the
amount originally provided by the bill viz:
sos. 900. 900. was cut down to 81, OOO,OOO.
However. the amount agreed upon will
20 a long way towards helping the States
to relieve themselves Of the evils growing
out of illiteracy. If the bill becomes a
law it will be one of the most important
acts in the history of the legislation OF the
country. The south will receive the chief
benefit from it, because, having the larg-
est per cent. of illiterate people, 1t VIII
get the biggest share of the money. Ihere
need be no fear that this aid, If received,
will cause the Southern States to relax
their efforts in the interest Of education.
1t will stimulate them rather to renewed
exertions. They will seek to reach
standard of excellence that will compare
favorably with that of the States OF the
North. The Northern Senators were forced
to admit, during the progress of the
debate on the bill, that, considering
their limited resources, and, also, that
very large per cent. of the illiterate be-
longed to the nOn-taX paying class, the
Southern people had done and were doing
remarkably we'll in their educational work.
Those Southern Senators who voted
against the bill were Influenced by a
doubt respecting its constitutiOnality, but
it is noticeable that among the supporters
Of the bill, Northern and Southern, were
the abfest lawyers of the Senate. Senator
Blair is entitled to credit as the originator
and promoter Of the bill. He has not
been regarded as a great statesman, and
has not been ranked among the leaders of
the Senate. If his bill becomes a law,
however, his name will be associated with
a measure far more important than any
thing with which the names of Blaine,
COnkling and other distinguished Repub-
lican leaders are connected. The brilliant
men, those who for time attract almost
the entire attention of the public, are not
always the ones who think out the prob
lens and originate the measures which
shape the destinies Of a nation.

Our Zoo Interests.


The egg industry is not one OF those that
has suffered from the depressing objects
of over-prOduction. In fact, the Amerl-
can hen, dOubly burdened with the duty
of perpetuating her own species and par
TALLY sustaining the human race, has not
been able to supply the American market
for some time past. Vast quantities OF
eggs have been imported from Europe
and the egg question has become quite an
important one.
The egg has never yet been successfully
initiated. However much you may dis
trust your grocer in regard to the genu-
ineness of his butter, you never think of
asking him if his eggs are natural or arti-
fetal. Imitation eggs are only found In
the china stores, but the most conscience
less cur would not for a moment think of
trying to digest one of them. No grocer
can look you in the eye and with an aft
davit face assure you that eggine is just
as good, if not a little better, than the
fruit OF the hen.
A new theory about eggs, and start
ling one, is that they improve with age.
This statement must be taken like the
eggs themselves-with a due proportion
of pepper and salt. 1t is not true that the
older an egg gets the better it is, but it is
asserted by high authority that eggs kept
in a cool, dry room are better when two
or three weeks old than when first alb
stracted from the maternal nest.
The age of the egg, after all, is the i'm
portant question. The dealer is never
known to eXaggerate on this subject. His
great desire is to keep considerably with
in the bounds of truth, and to always give
the egg the benefit of the doubt. Many
devices have been suggested for deter
mining the age of the egg. One cannot
look at its teeth, for it has none. No re-
cord of the birth of an egg is ever made in
the family Bible. and even if such a re-
cord were made, in view of the doubt
often thrown on such records in regard to
human births, it would not be
deemed conclusive. One Boston deal
er prints with a rubber stamp its al
legged birthday on every egg he sells.
Some of his customers, however, are
fearful that he has learned the art of
woodworking the dates from the evening
papers of that city. An ingenious lnYen-
tor has constructed an automatic register
which is placed beneath the nest, and
which prints on the egg the moment its
individuity is completed the date,
and the number of the egg and the
trade mark of the proprietor of the eggery.
This record would of course be much bet
ter than the mere ante selPem statment of
the dealer, but the danger is that the roy
atty on the machines and the expense of
employing detectives and prosecuting
counterfeiters would materially increase
the price of eggs. After all, devices and
inventions can do little to settle the egg
question. What is required is more in
innate relations and mutual confidence
between the producer and the consumer.
This can only be attained by every family
keeping its own hens.
