The Responsible Man.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In your editorial of to-day concerning the sup
preston of The history Of the rebellion, you say
ut is evident from what the nominal members
(of the school board say that they know nothing
or next to nothing, of the conduct of the schools
There is nothing unusual about this to those
who have had experience in school work. Ninety
nine times4out of one hundred this is the actual
fact. The responsibility of the matter rests
with the superintendent, in virtue of his Office
but practically, we venture, it rests with the
teacher Of this branch of study

and William r. Myers, Secretary of State are
two different persons. and what might be proper
for the former TO do might be wholly wrong for
the latter to do. The contents of his letter are
sufficient to degrade him, and render him
stencil in the nostrils Of all respectable people
This act of Myers's indicates that he is a man
who is lacking in common sense and common
deceney, and minus the rudiments of d gentle
man. He ought to resign. c.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
No recent phenomenon has more puzzled as
tronomers than the remarkable appearances of
the atmosphere as observed after sunset and be
fore sunrise during the last five months These
brilliant gows have been seen in all parts of the
habitable world. They were first noticed on the
28th of August, and they may still be seen, both
morning and evening, when the state of the at
mosphere is favorable 1t is well-known in fact
that any clear day the matter by which the
appearance is produced may be seen around the
sun, extending to distance of twenty or thirty
degrees The phenomena have been ascribed
l. To watery vapor in the atmosphere.
2 To meteoric matter through which the
earth has been supposed to be passing; and,
3. To the volcanic eruptions of Java and
Alaska
The first conjecture has been disproved by the
spectroscope The second may be said to be rem
dered extremely improbable by the long continu-
ance Of the glows. The earth crosses the mete-
oric streams of August and November in few
days at most, but the present phenomena have
already lasted more than five months. The vol
canic hypothesis is received with most favor, and
must either accept it or admit that the true
explanation remains to be discovered. In the
last number of the Sidereal Messenger, l have
briefly stated some objections to this theory, as
follows: mo similar results-at least to any
great extent-had been known to follow volcanic
eruptions If the matter started from Java on
the 18th of August its rate of motion
through the atmosphere till its appear
anee in Brazil was l09 miles
an hour. Or,i we assume that the appearance
in South America was derived from the Alaska
outburst we have the additional improbability
that results of a character before unknown fol
lowing volcanic eruptions in opposite hemispheres
at nearly the same time. Again, what force
could have maintained this volcanic matter at so
great an elevation during a period Of several
monthsl"
In short, no explanation yet offered is free
from serious difficulties. DANIEL HARDWOOD

Public ohicers' Duties.


1t is one of the fruitful sources of malfeasance
in Office that public officers are not held to a
strict accountability for the manner in which
they discharge their duties. The mass of the
people are unacquanted with the laws governing
the conduct of public officers; hence they are
unable to know when violations are committed.
1t is, therefore, the duty of the authorities to
enforce the laws and rules regulating public
trusts, without fear, favor on friendship. He who
deliberately disregards these should either be
made to resign or be removed.

penalty by being cheated and plundered at
every turn. There is one remedy, and only one,
to cure the diseases growing out of the tendency
of fools and frauds to run for Office. The people
must refuse to support them under any circum
stances, whether they are on the so-caled tickets
or otherwise before the voters

Let Tariff Tinkerinr Alone.

Suppose new tariff bill could be passed by
the present Congress, is there any security that
She next Congress would not alter repeal itl
Of course, not. And so with the next and the
next succeeding Congresses the tariff would be
tossed back and forth, to the great detriment of
the country. Parties are divided within them
selves on this question. Here is an opportunity
to unite. For once, let congressman lay aside
partisanship and exhibit craftsmanship. The
change would be refreshing

Railroads Public Corporation.

IOIuIIhpOIL AuNerIlber.
The railroad is public corporation, not
private one it exercises governmental powers,
and it must not discriminate between rich and
poor, weak and strong. 1t must treat all alike
as the postofice does. The wholesaling prinei-
pie must be left to work out its results in private
= competition but the charters given by the gov
eminent must not be used to create and main
tain monopolies and to accelerate the tendency
toward the accumulation of huge fortunes in a
few hands. Public policy ferbids.

Young 6fen in Politics.



The first voter is not likely to forget that he
came into the light of day amid the throes of
civil war that caused every patriotic citizen to
treInble for the fate Of the republic. Neither
will he forget that the men who thus needlessly
and causelessly imperiled the government were
Democrats; their sympathizers were Democrats.
Not Republican lifted the sword or the bayonet
to strike down the Union flag, nor did Repub
Iican sympathize with him who did. The young
voter will not ally himself with the party led by
confederate brigadiers.

Had Fitz John Porter been a private soldier

him guilty, and all the acts that can passed by
Congress win not remove that finding from the

Secretary of State Myers Should Resign.

As a citizen of Indiana, | was both surprised
and indignant when L read in the Journal of to-
day the letter said to have been written by W.
r. Myers, Secretary of State, to the Hon. NJ. F.
Round, of New York city. As said by you in
your comments thereon, Mr.. Myers, as DeMo-
erat and private citizen has the privilege, if he
deems it proper, to entertain and express such
views about ex-President Hayes as were con
timed in the letter referred to- but as the Seere-
tary of State of our great Commonwealth he
has no such right or privilege. He ought
to have sense enough at least, to know that
