The Sunrise Trouble.
} bic Editor Of the Indianapolts JournaN

To the Editor OF the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
Your correspondent j." in his card of
Wednesday, is troubled about the disagree
ment between the city clock and the al
mapac If the almanacs profess to give the
e4actitime of sunrise at every place in the
United States, they profess an absurdity.
The time of sunrise depends on the latitude,
and unless the tables give the times for every
possible latitude in the country they are not
accurate. For example: A standard al
manac now before me- gives the time of
sunrise in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and several
other States in the same general latitude
What part of Indiana is meant? If the time
is true for indianapolis, it is wrong for
Michigan City or Evansville. If it is true
for New Albany it is wrong for Indianapo-
lis.
Further When man sets his clock by
sunrise or sunset, does he take into account
the fact that the chances against his hori-
IONS being the true one are hundred to
one? The sun rises earlier on the Allegha-
mics than at the same latitude in the Missis-
sippi valley, and much later in a canon
than on the Sierras
The placard to be hung on the city clock
should not, as a." says be a uniform one,
sixteen minutes slow, but one varying with
the time of the year. Sometimes it would
read ten minutes SLOW" and once in the
year it might be truthfully paraded 'cor-
rect"
1t is true that the average difference be-
tween the clock and the sun is greater at In
dianapolis under standard time than before,
but the DIRECTORS must first change the
orbit of the earth into circle and tip up
the plane of the equator until it comedies
with the plane of the ecliptic before they
can make any valid argument against the
new time. J. p D. JOHN
GREENCAsTLE Nov. 81

Not Yet Reconciled to the Time.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
Your judgement on all affairs appertaining
to the interest of the city is generally we'll to
follow 1t is therefore evident to me you
have not given the question of the alteration
of the city time that careful thought which
you usually bestow on such subjects You
speak of the convenience of having a stand
ard time, but in my opinion that can never
offset the inconvenience of having false
local time. There is another point of view
to the question, which, perhaps you have
overlooked l allude to the extra cost of
artificial light which is imposed upon us by
putting the hands of the clock back BY
this act the working morning is made
sixteen minutes shorter but the working
night that much longer. Sixteen minutes
per night will make eight hours per month
The cost OF artificial light will average we
will say, two cents per hour, or sixteen cents
per month, or 81 90 per year to every person
using it. the number of whom we will put at
10000, which, at $192, amounts to the sum
of $38 400 per annum. You will see from
this that it is not only foolish act to put
back the hands of the clock, but an expen-
Sive one. j.

In 1874 he was admitted to the bar, anil
has lived in Westminster ever since. In
1868 he was a Democratic Presiden ial
elector, and in 1874 was elected to Con-
gress from the second district of Maryland
over John T. Ensor, republican. He was
reelected in 1876, and as member Of the
committee on commerce worked so hard
for the advancement of Blltimore's inter-

The Hagerstown Mail, that irrepressible
grumbler, after sorely puzz'ing its brain
to find some objection to Hon. R. NJ. Nc
Lane, has found out, or says it has, that
Mr.. McLane's committee in the State Sem
ate in 1878, reported the bill for the estab-
lishment of the Office of Insurance Com
missioner, and that there "never was such
an Office before" If our Washington
county contemporary would tax its large
intellect little more it might find out
that the office of Insurance Commissioner
is in existence land had been for years be-
fore it was established in Maryland)in most
of the northern and eastern States where
the insurance business has assumed large
proportions. It might also learn that the
Office in question is recognized by all pol
itical parties in those States as of the high
est utility and that no opposition to it has
ever been made. 1t might also find out
that the Office has been productive of q
revenue to the State, and that though it
never was before" the great recent devel-
opment of the insurance business in Mary
land renders it necessary now. Mr. Ham
ilton's organ appears to labor under the
same delusion as that unfortunate gentle
man himself, that because any department
of public service did not previously exist,
and because the State "gof along without
it, its utility is impossible aud its estab-
lishment necessarily wrong. This WASH
ington county philosophy will not be re-
cognized as correct by the people of q
progressive State.

The Rev. R. Heber Newton testified in
New York on Tuesday before the United
States Senate b-committee on labor and
education. He thought the great want of
the people is industrial education. The
instruction in the public schools, he said,
was wofully deficient and one-sided. 1t
gave the youth of the country q dislike
for manual labor. He favored q system
of partial cooperation, by which employees
might be given share in extra profits of
their employer. Thriftlessness on the
part Of the workingmsn was as much the
fault OF society - bis own.

Our Charles county "inpublicans' are
sorely vexed and sadly perplexed at the
failure of the Democratic county conven:
ton to make nominations for county Off
ces. The only cohesive force that holds
the little white corporation together. that
controls the negro vote, is the spoils re-
sulting from the county Offices of trust and
profit into which they have heretofore
thrust and continued themselves by means
of the blind and superstitious adherence Of
the negro vote to what they call the sin
publican" party. The number of these
white corporators has gradually increased
until now there are not offices enough to
go around. In consequence there is fierce
rivalry developing among them as to no
shall be put up for the several Offices this
fall, and the corporation is already nearly
rent asunder by the eager avarice of its
contending members for the ever enticing
spoils In addition to this the colored
brother himself has becom. affected with
q spirit of discomfort and insubordination
at the manner in which the blacks hrve
been excluded from every preeerment and
held in AFFECT and complets political SER
vitude to do the bidding Of their new
masters At first the sable voter was sat-
isfed with tramping to Port Tobacco once
year to 'seckon dc moshun- aud carry
out the cut and dried platform Of the cor
poration, and to gorge himself with tough
beef and bad whiskey at the election morn
ing "breakfusts." But now. aroused BY
the spirit of characterization aud self-as-
sertion set on foot by the recent co'ored
conventions Of Baltimore. which has been
taken up by ts,eir educated leaders in the
counties, they demand more, and insist
upon representation on the tick t. All
these disturbing causes which now, exist
this fall, not with the glib and fric-
tionless uniformity that has heretofore
characterized it, out with harsh and ir-
regular motion and a dangerous aud un
certain revolution. This was certainly
enough to disturb the usual serenity OF
the corporators and affect them with anx-
ious concern az to the result Of the coming
yet they consoled themselves
with hopes that when the Democrats had
placed a full ticket in the field. the old
time prejudices of the colorei voter could
be 50 far revived as tn induce him to again
patiently bear the yoke of servituds for
his white masters, and that tn. disgruut-
led whites might be quieted by promises
of future preferment. But now that it
seems probable that the Democrats and
taxpayers will not enter into the contest
for the local offices but will maintain the
attitude of quiet spectators, while the con
tending corporators and jealous and in
subordinate colored brethren fight it out
among themselves, the position of the
white corporators becomes really distress
ing. Many aud anxious have been the
caucusss of the ring leaders since the adj
journment of the Democratic convention,
and their grave and weary couatenances
indicate the true nature of the An xiety
with which they are internally affected.
