War i'm the Camp.

The Democratic party have done O
Er Al amount of whistling to keep up
heir courage since the New York
Convention. Their journals have
agntained little else of late than edi-
torials on the great political revolu-
ION which they claim is sweeping
t,ie Republican party from existence.
BUT how il it with the negro hating
md disunion Democracy. Nearly a
month has now elapsed since the
New York nominees were placed up
GA the ticket, and yet we find that
4arty still grumbling terribly over
lIeir fate.
From every part of the Eastern
tates, the nominations fell like a
death kneu on the ears of the party.

able to the Democratic rank and

Our. Candidate for Con-
gross.
The Republican Congressional
Convention which assembled at
Montana, on the 18th of this month,
resulted, as our readers are already
informed, in the selection of Hon.
Charles Pomcroy, of TT. Dodge, to
take tho place of Mr.. Hubbard in
Congress. OF the many aspirants
for the office, Mr.. Pomeroy made the
least effort, aud it may be truly said
of him, that the office sought him,
not he the office. Who his opponent
will be is not yet determined, but il
matters very little the Republicans
will roll up larger majority for Mr..
Pomeroy this fall than they did for
Judge Hubbard two years ago.
The wisdom of the Convention in
selecting Mr.. Pomeroy for our repre-
sentative in Congress cannot be ques-
toned. He is emphatically repre-
sentative man of our party, and his
nomination can but receive the
hearty approval and support of every
Republican voter in the district.
Those best acquainted with his per-
sonal character, assure US that he is a
man of uncorruptible integrity, hon
ored and respected at home as well as
abroad. He is among our best orators
in the State, and his keen business
qualifications thoroughly qualify him
for the important position to which
he will be elected to fill. In short,
we believe Mr.. Pomeroy to be man
who will properly represent the big
Sixth" i'm the halls of Congress, and
for his election we pledge him a
handsome majority from thu Repub.
licans of Black Hawk county, this
fall.

Children's Amusemeuts in the Park.

A movement has been made in behalf Of oil
the children of this metropolis-that is, in be-
half Of some three or four hundred thousand of
young New York-to have amusements in the
Park, In the same way as the young folks
Of Paris have them in the Champs Elysees.
Any one who has been in Paris must have been
delighted to see the thousands of children en-
joying themselves and receiving instruction at
the same time in different parts of the Champs
Elysees from Punch and Judy, the Marionettes,
ambulating theatres aud other amusemcnts.
Indeed, they are source Of enjoyment to older
people as WE'LL but they properly belong to the
children, and are encouraged by the authorities
specially on that account. This is just what
we want in New York, and the Park
is the spot. There are dotted over the
large surface of the Park places where
these amusements could be held without
the drives or enjoymcnts of grown-up
people. In the Ramblc, for example, there
are several charming spots just adapted to
this purpose. Such amuscments for children
give pleasure, health and instruction at the
same time No better use could be made Of
portions of the Park But we regret to
hear the movement has met with opposition
from the Park Commissioners We are sur
prised at this, because these gentlemen have
generally shown a liberal spirit and large views
in the performance OF their duty. We hope
they will reconsider the matter and study the
interests and pleasure of the rising genera
ton. If they should be 80 dull and ilibcral
as not to do this, we shall take up the cause Of
the young folks, and will call mass meeting
of all the children of the metropolis TO protest
against them II the voices of three or four
hundred thousand boys and girls, with set
of stinging resolutions, should not startle the
Commissioners and compel them to grant the
Punches and Judies the Marionettes, the ambu-
lating theatres and other amusements, we may
have to take more extreme measures and take
the vote of young New York for their removal.
We advise the Commissioners to he wise In

Queen Victorin ON tho Irish Church Question.
Queen Victoria replied yesterday to the I'd.
dress Of the House of Commons, founded ON
the third of Mr.. Gladstones resolves, which
prays her Majesty to suspend all action in the
matter of the temporalities of the Irish Church
establishment pending the final legislation Of
Parliament with q view to its dlsendewment.
The House of Commons in its address to the
Throne asked, in fact, that the head of the
Church should abnegate all her rights by ap-
pointment or interference with the glebe lands
or revenues in Ireland and surrender them 10
the keeping of the Legislature.
Placed thus in situation anomalous under
the Coronation Oath and Act Of Irish Union,
and of extreme deloacy In the present crisis
of English politics, the Queen extricated tho
executive from the possibility of collision with
the wishes of the people by the discreet exercise
Of that sound judgment which has ever distin-
guished her in constitutional emergencies. In
her reply to the Commons she says that, ''rely-
ing ON the wisdom of the House, her Majesty
desires that her interest in the temporalities OF
the Irish Church will not in any way prevent
Parliamentary legislation on the subject.
By the utterance of these words Queer
Victoria, as sovereign, gracefully accedes
to the voice of Parliament, while as head
of the Church she acknowledges that tenn
poralities do not constitute religion. Instead
Of urging the non possunsns, like Pope Plus
the Ninth, on the temporal question in ITALY, she,
places herself on the voluntary principle and
the grand clause of the Apostolic injunction
of the great High Priest relative to scant ward
robes, plain food and little care as to luxurious
travel for clergymen. The Queen of England
has thus elevated herself far above Disraelis
Gladstone and Pho Nino, the ''dark oon-
spiracies' Notwithstanding, and is likely to
become more popular than ever.

fortnight or month longer, and so on till they
get new batch of radical Senators from the
Southern States, and then, upon new set Of
articles, may they not try it again' Or may
they not keep this thing hanging like sword

that of giving Johnson the victory. Very

peuchmcnt-Is 1t tho EndS
The High Court OF impeachment has sd-
journed till Saturday on the convenient pretcxt
Of Senator's illness. Adjournment, in the
circumstances, means that the radicals dared
not encounter the final trial 1t means defeat.
For some days the case has been desperate
indeed with those most prominent In
the lead of this atrocious conspiracy. They
had ceased in the effort TO disguise their pur-
pose; they had given up the endeavor to
appear just; and their open defiance of all law
in the trial had caused the revolt against them
Of the decent men in the Senate. Thereupon
they began a rufanly assault on all who
might vote against them. It was held that
these men must be driven into the traces one
way or another and for two reasons First,
because without them 1t was not absolutely
certain that there would be the requisite num-
Der of votes; second, because. even II carried,
il would not do to let it be seen that impcach-
ment had recorded against it the vote of every
republican of known integrity and high
ability In the United States Senate.
II would not do to carry measure
of this Importance by only the votes
of mere fanatics, twaddlers and party slaves
Some good names were necessary; some man
must be seen to have voted for II who had not
pledged himself to vote for II before the trial
began. II was necessary that impeachment
should appear to have convinced somebody
some few men Of Independent thought. With
out this the victory would not only have no
moral force, but it was seen even that the
party might better be beaten than secure a
victory that in itself proved the corrupt and
dangerous character of the organization.
Hence the maniac wrath with which Fessenden
has been assailed. II was part of the plan to
intimidate hm--to frighten him from giving an
honest vote by presenting a glimpse Of the
consequences. In the same purpose the often
sive spure of radical madness has been cast
over the name Of every man who ventured to
| denounce this crime that covered itself with the
mantle of the law Only party that felt its
situation to be desperate could resort to means
80 disgraceful, and the use Of these means
gives us the estimate the radicals themselves
instinctivcly put upon their case.
But what was the result? Already on
Monday the barometer Of radical sentiment
indicated that all was not right Contin-
gcncies were apparent even thenthc GER
tainty was gone. Old Stevens was in bad
humor, too. lie INDUCED that sncering style

Tho Emperor and the Empress Of France
ut Orleans.
From cable despatch which we published
in yesterdays HERALD we learn that Napoleon
and Eugenie had just returned to Paris from
visit to the ancient and time-honored city Of
Orleans. II was here that Joan dArc-a
name dear to liberty and which will live
while the world lasts-made her heroic and sue
cessful defence in 1923. II is from this city that
the youngest and most ambitious branch of the
Bourbon family takes its title. It is one Of
those old-fashioncd cities in which traditions
linger and in which new names and new
schemes find slow encouragement. Napoleon
is all the time feeling the pulse Of France.
This visit seems to have been successful. The
mayor read an address of welcome, Napoleon
declared once more that the empire was
peace and the good Bishop Of Orleans invoked
blessings on the heads of the Emperor and
Empress 'All's well that ends we'll All

We are now in the midst Of that refreshing

the city are more or less tinctured with par

In our reports we treat all sects alike We
regard the annual meetings Of these religious

Sodom and Gomorrah would certainly over
