"A little before SIX O'Clock IN the even
ing it was almost dark on the water,
though the sun, verging toward the hori-
zon, was Singing as clear as before. AS
the captain remarked, it was more like
a moon rising than a sun setting. On
the morning Of the 18th ] studied the
sun through a fine teles cope and saw it
still had the green hue, but toward noon
it resumed its usual color for the rest of
the day."
WAS the chance gradual or iustantan
eous?" asked the reporter.

O'Clock the sun passed behind a bank of

cloudy, but about , o'clock | was able to
make Il careful study, and distinguished
five spots Of varying size, the largest be-
ing apparently as broad as the palm Of a
mans hand and the smallest the size ola

spots, particularly clearly defined, ragged
at the edges and resembling nothing as
much as the centres OF extinct volcanoes

Every one at Alden was full Of this

except the natives. They paid no more
heed to it than if green were the sun
natural color. But ali the foreigners in
the pace, and, beyond all, the ladies',
spent hour after hour gazing at the sun
either with the naked eye or through
telescopes The sailors were terribly
frightened, and nothing would persuade
them but that the end of the world was
at hand. This appearance of the sun
was unchanged during the 18th bat on
the morning of the 18th, as we were on
our way to Suez, it had resumed its
natural color.
My theory is that the green color IN
the sun and the light blue color in the
noon was caused by "a sulphurous atmos-
phere. Now. though no one has attemp-
ted to prove that the atmosphere wa at
that time more heavily charged with sui
phur than at other times, Just as no Que
seems to have dreamed of using the
Spectroscope as a means of solving the
problem, | am convinced that this theory
alone cannot account for the existence at
the same time of this meteorological
phenomenon and OF the various volcanic
eruptions in Java, Sumatra and other
places. This phenomenon was an effect
not a cause Of the erunrions Besides,
it must be remembered that the change
of color was seen with most clearness in
the very region where those disturbances
took place.

Democratic Harmony.

1t has become a veteran habit of
eastern democrats to plead for har-
mony whenever the free trade in
stincts of the west and the south are
forcing themselves to the front for re-
cognition in the policies of the national
parry. The want of harmony points
many moral and adorns many tale
among our eastern friends. Mr..
Hewitt, Mr.. Randall and men of that
stamp are but walking harmonious
whenever interests of protection are at
stake. They dre always loudly ringing
the changes on this one note. A poll
cy which harmoniZes the west, is not
the policy these men mean. The only
line upon which they propose to har-
| monte is upon tariff with a protec-
ton basis. That is harmony with
them, nothing else is. Now, the ques-
ton is, which can the national par
ty better afford to part with, the
west and south, or the east.
| Where are the votes located
and which section has the best record
of past steadiness &? Are the west
and south to make all the sacrifices
necessary to harmony, to the end of
time ? If ringing free trade plat,
form is adopted at Chicago, we will
lose strength in the east, but we will
gain enormously in the west not less
than three for one. Putting the mat
ter upon it's lowest basis, that of cold
! policy, and we have the best of the situa-
ton; but to place it upon principle and
there can be hut one verdict. The
greatest good to the greatest number.
| Are we to sacrifice the interests of the
teeming and ever advancing west and
south-a vast majority of the working
and voting force of the nation-fo1
the m"re't minority both as regards
material value and population. To
require such policy at the
hands of the west and south and in
| the teeth of their well known and &C
cepted wishes is not a step calculated
in any way to give one confidence in
the reality of their desires for har-
mony. The west and the south have
been making all the sacrifices. They
have continued to do so long
enough. Forbearance has ceased
to be virtue, and now if
there is to be harmony the future con-
cessions must come from the other
side. A square manly fight for tariff
reform will win. Aweak compromise
or a protective slant to G,uooIa,ic
policy, ind we lose beyond peradvent-
ure. The time has come for the DEM
ocracy to make stand for it's princi-
ples,. and we believe it will do so
despite the threatening detection of
the eastern wing.

Republican Happy Family.

The republican cohorts of Texas are
a badly riven lot. They are scattered.
torn and angry. In Dallas it is hard
to find any two of them pulling to
gether. The hostile chieftains with
their sable followings meet and clash
like Highland and Lowland did in the
palmy days when blood was hotter
than now on the Scottish border. The
bone of contention is the disposition
of the federal patronage, Norton and
Cochrane, Bigger and the negroes. 1t
is a savory mess, and while the racket
is on it will steam up and grow live
lier with every passing moment. In
Sherman the grumblings and growl-
ings are not so loud as in Dallas, but
they are steadier. giving promise of
ultimate war on a very respectable
basis. In Houston Tracy's nav is
filed for the nonce, and, like the gorged
anaconda, he will be tolerably quiet
until he needs another filling up. In
Galveston, Sabin, too, has got slice
and there are men in the republican
ranks in the island city who are dead
sure that it is too large for his merits
We are more than satisfied to permit
them to tear and rend each other
on that proposition, and we promise
to place not even straw in the way
of their indulging their fighting pro-
clivities to the very full. In Austin
our own dear, delightful Saylor is
comfortably provided for. He is sat-
isfied, and so are we, but there are
many of the patriots in and about
this beautiful city whose sore places
have opened afresh, and the new
blood of anguish is rather irritating

only given to Indicate that while there
is little pickering in the democratic
camp over the two-thirds rule. yet all
isn't lovely and serene among our
foes. Justice forces us to say, and re-
peat, that their troubles do not come
to them by and through hostile and
irreconcileable differences upon princi-
pie. They grow out of the division of
the federal spoils alone. The wolves
are only quarreling over the bones
not with the wolfship of each other.
If we recall the history of republi-
canism since the war, the fact at once
discloses itself that they never have
quarreled upon principle. Their trou-
bles have been only and solely over

for the democrats, but within their
own easy reach.

Houston Post just bangs EN- all
From independentism to republican
ism, from republicanism back to indie
pendentism, from independentism to
democracy. Why, it is no trick for
the Post to be converted. The only
bad effect is a slight dizziness, but
that passes off in few minutes usu-
ally. But the surprising conversion
of 'em all since the meeting of the
executive committe is its bril-
liant performance towards the two
thirds rule. One or two short sermons
on the sin of mere majority nomina-
ton, brief, to the point and in the nick
of time, and here's the Post modestly
looking for bench in the very amen
corner of the democratic love feast.
Next to those who originate great
schemes and policies stand those who
can first get into the spirit of 'em.

Bad, if True.

Several days since the Post pub
lished an explanation of the causes,
real or supposed of the recent cut
down of the News. 1t was so extra
ordinary thing for that paper to do,
to drop four columns of space, that it
excited immediate and deeply inter
eSted attention, and with a forbear-
ance most admirable the papers wait
ed for its explanation. The News it
self made none and we are forced to
accept, for the want of a better, that
given by the Post. Now, it
would give us no real pleasure
were disaster to overtake the News,
albeit we have often experienced the
full weight of its unfairness and its
misdirected power. AS newspaper
purely and simply, it has been most
admirable no doubt. 1t has had I'M
tagging energy, great determination
and it has exhibited unbounded liner
ality so far as the money to procure
news is concerned. This much can
dor compels us to say, and we are glad
to be able to say it truthfully. But
we have always contended that while
ostensibly democratic during cam
paign, yet it has always in the inter-
walls and even in the heat
of battle been either indie
pendent or openly republican.
We do not cavil at it for this. We
only complain that it deceives the
people thereby. We would think more
ourselves of the News were it openly
and avowedIy republican, or indie
pendent. 1t is only it's spurious claim
of democracy that we quarrel with.
The News is strictly business. This
is its oft repeated asseveration,
and it is true, and we have always
wondered why, with the just repu-
tation for business accumen which
it has so firmly established it
could not see that it could
make as useful news medium and as
sound a commercial authority and
still be in accord with the dominant
political party in the state. This
much we say at the risk of being
charged with an intent to interfere
with its business arrangements. If
disaster has really come to the News
it will owe its bad fortune more to its
general reputation for political I'M
taithfulnes than to any faulty bust
ness policy or combination. However,
for many reasons we do not want to
see the old News go to the wall, albeit
we could see some of it's directors go
to and not be entirely inconsola-

WHEN the Gazette says that the
two-thirds rule was never at any
time democratic it is either woefully
ignorant or wonderfully unfrank.
However, its sentiments of the 9th
may not be what it holds on to this
blessed 18th. We have an idea that
the expressions dropped about Waco
the other day have put flea into the
earsof our spirited cotemporary, and
perhaps a different aud sweeter music
into his heart. Sometimes the papers
voice public sentiment pretty accu-
rately, but when they assume that the
masses of the democracy are opposed
to the two-thirds rule they are away
off.
