The New YoIk Tribune, with that
partisan unfairness which has long given
1t bad eminence, has tried to excite sec.
tional fears over the appointment of a
Southern member OF Congress to the
craftsmanship of the pension committee.
AS a matter of fact the so-called "pen-
sion committee has nothing to do with
anything appertaining to the late war, as
the rules provide that everything relat-
ing to pensions of the late civil war shall
go to the committee on invalid pensions,
while to the committee on pensions"
shall go all pension matters arising from
the "wars of the United States other
than the civil war;" The committee
which has eutire jurisdiction over the
pensions of the civil war has for its
chairman Mr. Matsop, of Indiana, a
union soldier, who won his way up from
a private 10 the rank of colonel by gal
liant service in the field, A majority of
its members served in the union army

THE heavy snow falls Of the past ten
days have brought home to many cities
the serious question of what is the bes,
way to deal with this obstruction to
free passage over the municipal high
ways. In this city, while property owners
were compelled 10 clear their pavements,
the conditions of the crossings was such
as to occasion iucalculable inconvenience
and serious danger TO the pedestrians
with whom the streets were thronged
during the days of Christmas shopping.
The easy answer to the indignation Of
citizens at this condition Of affairs was
that there was neither money nor other
provision for the city authorities to
have the slight work done which would
have accommodated thousands the
street committee having already spent
all its appropriation for the fiscal year
aud a good deal more, besides grabbing
for everything lying around loose.
AfOretime, we believe, it was the Gus
tom to include in the fiscal budget an
appropriation for cleaning the crossings
of snow. 1t was custom honOred in
the observance let it be returned TO
when the appropriations for the next
year are made up.

THE unusual glow in the western sky,
continuing with such beauty long after
sunset for many nights Of the past few
months, is not confined to this latitude
and longitude but, as the reports we
print to day show, the phenomenon has
been observed and admired in all quarters
of the globe. The theories offered 10
explain it are various and do not ilIum-
mate the subject very much. The wlde'
| ly remote points at which the extraor-
| diuary manifestations are witnessed
seem 10 discredit most Of the local ex'
plantations offered, such, for instance, as
the argument of the English astrono.
mer, Mr.. Norman Lockyer, who states
that the crimson skies are due to the
presence of vast quantities of dust and
ashes elected during the August erup'
tion in Java, and transported thence by
the trade wind currents INTO the high
| northern latitudes. Much more likely
to End popular credence are the theories
that relate to celestial disturbances, OF
the sudden presence Of the earth in some
vast volume of cosmic dust. In a more
superstitious age these signs of the skies
would be ominous, and, in any event,
they present a spectacle which for con-
tinuing grandeur is seldom equalled be-
tween the parallels which bound our con-
| tinent.

An Indignant Protest from Hrothor Mart.
Martin Buzzard writes n long letter TO
the INTELLIGENCER, which cheorfuIly ac
cedes to his request TO excuse his bad
spelling lit is not as bad, by the way,
as a good deal that is submitted TO this
journal by voluntary contributors.
He is Justly indignant at an article re-
Gently printed in the NeD Era, the
writer OF which undertakes to prove
that there has been bad blood in tho
Buzzard family for generations, and that
the notoriety earned by it's later members
is the result of Inherited traits Of Charac-
ter. On the contrary, Mart says, his
father, who was raised near BareviIle, this
county, by q man named Graybill, was an
honest and industrious man all his lie.
He was never accused of crime and was
never in court, even as n witness. lie lost
his life in tho late war, fighting for his
country, and his eight orphan children
were sent to soldiers orphan schools.
He ascribes tho family derelctions rather
to the discipline of these institutions than
to any transmission of "bad blood" from
his forefathers and says that when the
| young Buzzards sought relief from it and
fled to their mother, they were dragged
back by force and subjected To treatment
calculated to make criminals of them.
Mart, who is reformed and trying tC
| live n better life, admits that he and his
brothers have been bad boys, but they art
not guilty OF all the deyiltTy in the county
nor of one tenth of that which Is laid tC
their charge. Ia conclusion he suggests
that if some of the BuZzards were en-
ployed as watchmen at the prison there
would be fewer escapes. Aud the public
will agree that Mart is about right.

IT is refreshing to hear a good, strong
clear voice, like that of Supt. Apgar, of
the New Jersey public schools raised in
ringing protest against the scheme ad-
vocated BY Senator Blair and other in
tellectual light weights, of raising feder-
al revenues to distribute among the
states for educational purposes. Mr..
Apgar first shows that the figures of
illiteracy given by these people are un
reliable and inaccurate, and then argues
strongly and forcibly the true position
for the people Of every commonwealth
to take, that the education of the young
is a matter for each state to regulate
and provide for, and the federal gov
ernment should be vigorously excluded
from all participation in it.
