The After.sunset sky Glow

A late number of Science contains a
practical paper on the after-glows. and
places the volcanic theory of the cause
of these phenomena on strong basis
by marshaling in local order the facts
which support it. The following table
shows the nearness in date of the first
instance of the phenomenon to that of
the Java eruption, as well as the regu-
lar progress of the volcanic dust from
one portion of the earth s atmosphere to
another:
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1884-04-12

The writer saws: THE evidence thus
far accumulated seems to point posi-
lively to the truth of the volcano hy-
pothesis.r OF this evidence the most
remarkable portions are the results of
analyses of fresh snow, which showed
not only that volcanic dust was being
precipitated by the atmosphere, but that
this dust was in chemical compositl ION
and IN capitalization identical with that
brought from Mount Krakstoa.

Pertinent Facts as to Harmony Among the
Republicans Of Wayne County

Special to the indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, April Against the report that
has lately gone abroad of grave discussions
among the Republicans of Wayne county, it
would be fair to credit the following fact: Out
of ten offices for which the Republicans of Wayne
county are to nominate candidates ON Monday
next there is contest over but four For repre-
sentative in Congress, though there is another
name on the ticket, Hon. T. NJ. Browne has prac-
tically no opposition. Hon. D. W. Comstock is
the only candidate for circuit judge, Isaac A.
Gormon the only one for sheriff, John F. Rob
bins the only one for prosecuting attorney, Mark
Maudlin the only one for county com
missioner from the middle district, and
Addison II. Steedy the only one for county sur
veyor Considering that the Republican nomi-
nation is in this county equivalentto an election
there is certainly evidence of considerable self
restraint ON the part of Wayne county Repub-
lcans in the matter of offiee-seeking. OF the
persons named above only two are now serving
in the Offices to which they seek nomination, so
that the lack of contest is not to be attributed to
the two term rule altogether
There has been some concern over candidate
for county commissioner from the eastern dis
trict, to fill the vacancy made by the fight of
Thomas Hunt, and 10 serve in his
stead at the expiration of his pres
emit term. LIE Roy Kelly came out
for the Office some days ago, and he was followed
into the field by Ezra E. Hill and Elan j.
Brown. Kelly is perfectly competent for the
office, but is Objectionable to the temperance
people. AS Hill and Brown were likely to cut
into one another, Kely's prospect was bright for
nomination. In order that there might be no
division of the opposition, efforts were made to
get either Hill or Brown off the track. The re-
suit of these efforts is that both off Hill with
drawing yesterday and Brown to-day, and that

Chicago Socialists,

CHICAGO, April 3,-The Socialists Of this city
met, tonight, to declare the true cause of the
late riots in Cincinnati, which is declared
to have been "a premature explosion of
general discomfort, caused by a frebrand
of incitins and inliaInrnatory sPoeehes.
by so-called leading citizens, who were
seeking to divert the attention Of the people
from the real causes which existed in social inc
qualities. which have become almost unbearable,
by pointing out to them an insignificant petty
criminal an individual murderer as one Of the
causes of existing evils and human degeneraey"
The resolutions further declare that the militia
wantonly killed fifty or more citizens, and so
urged others to retaliation; deprecate the action
of the bourgeoise in being led by the rich,
who are declared to be habitual criminals; re
pudiate the allegations that it was the Socialists
who led the mob, and demand the disbanding of
the State militia as a menace to popular liberty.
