DiseStablished.

The British House of Lords on
last Saturday, 10th inst, passed to q
second reading (Which is regarded az
a certain indication of the final tri.
umph Of the measure) the Irish
Church Bill, by 179 to LAG, which
disestablishcs the English Church as
the legal and state religion of Ireland,
and in its effect abolishes the op-
pressive church rates, which have for
SO many generations ground the poor
people of Ireland to powder.
There was great rejoicing at its
/. passage among tho Liberals in Par
lament The dissolution of the op-
pressive union of Church and State
in Ireland, marks an epoch in civil
and religious liberty across tho At
lantic. 1t is moreover o master
stroke of policy on tho part of our
British Cousins, and will do more to
conclliate the Irish people to their
foreign masters than anything else
that could have been done.
Hereafter the Irish people can
worship God in their own way, un-
der their own vines and fig trees,
with no church tax-gatherer to mo-
les " make them afraid.

Veterans.

In many Of our large cities MAIN
ed victims Of the democratic war
against the nations life, manage to
exc out an existence organ-grinding,
and soliciting in this manner public
charity.
The following characteristic growl
from the Chicago Times, shows that
the great organ Of western democra-
cy has been seriously often ded in this
direction.
We should like every democratic
soldier to read it:
owe respectfully suggest to the
two veterans who play SO much in
the vicinity OF The Times building,
that grateful republic ought to do
something better for them than to
allow them to be engaged in an ev-
erlasting grind. which, in time, must
become distasteful to their fine must
cal appreciation; and which is Ger
tainly nuisance to everybody in the
neighborhood. But if the greatest
country in the world" and the "bost
government in the world" will do
nothing substantial for them, SO that
they may interTit their dominion
grind, there arc patriotic men and
women here in Chicago who will
cheerfulIy decorate their graves, pro-
yided they will consent to remove
themselves to Graccland, Rose Hill,
or Oak Woods. 10 be the occupant
of nicely-decorated tomb ought to
seem moro inviting and desirable to
a couple of heightened, MANNED pa
triots than the labor of making a
nuisance Of themselves by grinding
out shrill harmonies on an unartistic
hand-organ"

tho importance of the Washington,

POSTPONED.


The Council Monday eve indefinitely
postponed the petition OF the people
to appropriate $4,000, to aid in the
contingent expenses of securing the
Cameron Railroad, for want Of con-
stitutional power to do so; and this
In face of the fact that the bar las
we are informedD had almost unani.
mously given their opinion favorinr
Its Legality. This may be all very
good constitutional law, but to us il
seems very poor common sense.
We would like to know what the
benefits of the city government are,
when we haven't the powor to aid by
even SO small an appropriation as the
ono asked, tho preliminary work of
building this Railroad? The popu.
lar idea has been that governments
derived thor just powers from the
consent Of the governed, and were
established for the public good /; but
IN Iowa we are governed 20 much,
and SO much cabbined, cribbed and
confined with fundamental and legis.
.atlvo enactments, that the people no
longer have the right to do US thew
please with their money or taxes,
and are treated by our rsttifoggipp
and hair-splitting law makers and
expounders, as if they were the mer.
est babies ard most helpless wards.
The best minds in the State passed
the Township Tax Law last winter
ayear ago, which was tho most sem
slble and benefcent of all their en-.
actments, but forthwith the hair
splitting logicians of the Supreme
Court knocked it into pi. It is i'm
possible to conceive of more sensi.
ole and profitable thing than il wo'd
be for the county of WapelIo, and
the municipality of the city of OF.
tumWa, to each issue their bonds to
the amount Of say $4,000, to insure
the completion of this great thor
oughfare through our county and
city, yet the lawyers say we have no
authority to do SO. Three quarters
OF a million Of dollars would be OK.
pended 10 the county in building it,
and over two millions of dollars wo'd
be added to the value Of our town
and county property at once on its
location, to say nothing of the econ.
omizing, outstanding and civilizing
tendencies of the same.
One Of these days the people will
become FESTIVE under these tyranni.
cal restraints, and will arise in their
might and tear them to tatters.
Meantime, it is an instructive ex.
ample Of the beauties of Republi-
can municipal government, to be.
hold a city Of great expectations.
with 1000 people, without power to
appropriate $4,000! to further the
interests of an enterprise in which
all her people are interested, and
which is Of such vital Importance.
