sets caused great deal of speculation, and
to their bent in assigning causes for the
phenomenon, but their speculations and
guesses were widely variant, inasmuch thai
it was very clear that profound scientists
knew nothing about it, and like Samson,
with the loss of his locks, were as weak as
common men. Perhaps the most generally
received theory was that the last years. Sep
TENDER terrible earthquakes in Java pro-
duced the phenomenon, by throwing uI
ashes. The theory was that the immense
volcanic forces threw the resultant dust of
the volcanic action high into the upper at
mospherie regions, and floating over the
wide areas of thousands of miles, the rays
OF the setting sun by reflection produced tie
illuminated sunsets.
AS far fetched as that theory was, many
scientists accepted it. But the fact that the
red sunsets again appear after period of a
year, explodes this theory, for the Javan
earthquake ashes could hardly remain sus-
pended for year in the atmosphere to again
reproduce the unwonted phenomenon. The
theory that ashes came over from the other
side of the globe to permeate our atmosphere
with illuminating possibilities was hardly as
brilliant as the sunsets themselves. The red
sunsets have come again, not perhaps quite
as-brilliant as those of last year, but yet no
ticablc for their phenomenal appearance and
their deeply glowing tints. Some are in
clined to refer these appearances to electric
al action. and this theory is rather more
likely to be correct than the exploded one of
the Java ashes. Scientists at best are at
fault. Their conjectnred theories rest only
on the merest guess-work. The most, IA
tional theory is that we know nothing reli-
able Except to refer them to adivine orgin)
of the cause of the luminous twilights that
glow in beauty nightly in the western hori-
zon, and attract the wonder and admIration
The poet says of the Stars. they are
'Forevcr singing as they shine,
The hand that made us is divine,''
and the same hand that gives the glitter
ing stars, gives also, the entrancingy
fascinating, luminous evening twilights.

the church Immediately interested, but to

that Mr.. Smith would, even for a brief
period, have engaged in ether labor, but a

JINGo BLAINE, like his redoubtable confed-
crate Ben. Butler has a lightning calculator
in his arlstocratic palace car retiuue. This
wonderful person makes his solemn "davy''
that Blaine visited forty-eight counties in
Ohio, spoke in seventy cities, and at a
moderate ''estimate'' saw 1900, 900 people.
OF course this was big thing, and by the pro-
cess Blaine succeeded in cutting down the
Republican majority to less than third of
that given Garfield. 1t is rather remarkable
Blaine does not remain in Ohio. He did so
well he should not "dodge," or desert his

THE Detroit Free Press takes the view OF
the result that is adopted by the thought
full candid men OF all parties.
There is little ground in the result for Demo
cratic disappointment, though the work of the
the campaign would undoubtedly have
been lightened had Ohio cut loose
from her traditional, Republicansm.
There is no ground whatever for Demo
cratic Encouragement. Ohio has never been
counted in the eveland column, and there is
no: single state in that column where the re-
salt is al all inperiled by the result in Ohio.
The Democratic cause is as inst as ever; the
candidate of the Republican party is the same
shifty, tricky jobbeT, whose public record and
his own letters proclaim him unfit for the high
efice for which he has procured the nomination.
1t would DC an Insult to American intelligence
and American honesty to believe for a moment
that any resnlt in any state election can reconcile
the people to such man as their chief magis-
trate. Certainly the result in Ohio cannot.
Really the Ohio result is an encourage
ment to all the friends of Honest govern
ment.

THE expressions of opposition to the re-
election of j. j. McCardy as county auditor,
are irrespective of party and well nigh uni
versal He has had little strength on the
fictitious claim OF superior qualifications, but
it is now understood that whatever of merit
there is in the conduct of the Office is en-
tirely due to subordinates. Mr.. McCardy
devotes very little personal attention to pub
lie business, but occupies his time in real
estate operations, using his official position
to obtain pointers for trade. Let a citizen
call at the auditors Office and seek any in
formation concerning real estate, and he will
soon learn from the arrogant and insulting
McCardy that the county auditors Office is
simply personal real estate shop.

show that Sydney Smith was not simply ''our

PASSING along Third street We dropped

ceived bill of imported goods amountin g
to 1882, and we were informed that the
duties on the same, and which he had paid,
amounted to $500, or something over sixty
per cent. Before the war the duty on such
goods was thirty-ive per cent, but in order
TO raise more money to meet the increased
expenses, the duty was raised. Now after
twenty years Of peace under the Republican
party we are still paying war duties. If this
extra charge went to the laboring men of
the country, or even TO our manufacturers,
it would be all right, but about twenty five
per cent. of it is in excess of the want of the
