THE PETITION OF THE AMERICAN EVAN
aELICAL ALLIANCE to the Emperor Alexander
is an eloquent appeal for religious liberty in
Russia. The Protestant subjects Of the Gear
are at present only tolerated and their rights
curtailed by oppressive laws. We are sure
that the Car will heed the voice Of
the representatives of the American nation
Behold, Gar, the fruits of religious equality
in our great republic See how well it works !!
say the petitioners. And, In truth, there can
be found nowhere better illustration of what
liberty of conscience can do If untrammelled by
the interference Of the State.

than man has yet seen. And we have only to
look to our own history to find evidences that
we should not deal too harshly with those
who forget that moderation we are trying to
inculcate Even now part of the press is
committing the same error which the Irish
committed ON Wednesday, and arraying one
part of the population against another. 1t is
Know Nothing days-an attempt to incite one
part of the Christian community against Chris
tians Of another name. 1t cannot prove sue
cessful but if persisted in its failure will not
make it any the less discreditabe. We want
to practise that perfect freedom which we all
preach, and show to the world that magma
nimity and federation ara exclusively repub-
lican virtues.
The HERALD has always been opposed to
religious pers ecution and religious bigotry.
When few modern iconoclasts were burning
Roman Catholic churches and committing fear
full outrages upon defenceless Catholic citizens
we condemned their acts as crime worse
than sacrilege and more inexcusable than
murder and pillage. When the Know Moth
ings were prescribing men on account of their
religious convictions or the chance Of their
birthplace we opposed them with as much
boldness as characterized our opposition to
the hostility against the Orangemen. This is
the mission of the independent press, and 1t is
mission which requires nerve against one
party of men to-day and another party of men
tomorrow. We led in gaining great victory
over Old World feuds and antipathes on
Wednesday. That victory must not now be
used to foster religious bigotry and animosity.
Let The Orangemen learn the lesson of this
riot. They were not protected because they
were Orangemen, but because great principle
was involved in the question of their parade.
And the partisan press must also take the
same lesson to heart. If they use this victory
to stir up religious strife better sentiment
will rebuke them. The American people are
too good, too wise, too free, to countenance a
policy so short-sighted and so disastrous.

A FIRE OCCURRED in four story building
on Sixth avenue, near Forty-fourth street,
yesterday, followed by an explosion, appa-
rently of barrel partly filed with benzine,
and as there were number of firemen and
policemen in the immediate vicinity at the
time the casualties were numerous. Thirteen
fremen and policemen are reported severely
burned. one of them fatally. The unparalleled
carelessness of workman in cleaning gloves
with benzine near gasight was the cause Of
the fire and the subsequent explosion.

THE New CoSsUL GENERAL TO CUBA
The appointment Of General Torbert to be
Consul General of the United States to
Havana is not only wrong to Vice Consul
Hall, but a wrong to the public service. In
Spanish countries American diplomacy ought
TO avail itself of our best and most experienced
filling any station with acceptability. OF all
Americans in Cuba or out of it Mr.. Hall is
best fitted for the position Of Consul General;
and, without rejecting on General Torbert, 1t
Is due to him that we should acknowledge the
merit which the administration has failed TO
recognize.

THE Two INDIAN CHIEFS, Satanic and Big
Tree, who were captured in Texas some time
ago while raiding, are now being tried by the
regular authorities there for murder. This is
an Improvement on the old method of dealing
with these savages. Usually when taken
prisoners they had rations and clothing given
them and were set at liberty again. The idea
of trying them for murder is good and efiec-
tual one. Doubtless every Indian in the coun-
try can be convicted Of murder without any
false swearing,

made last month by a portion Of the fleets

slight fire on both sides the vessels returned

course with outside barbarians, and stating
that the crew of the General Sherman were
put TO death because of piratical acts in
Corean territory. The Admiral is yet waiting

tinuous sensation ever since its extraordinary
organization In pursuance Of an extraordinary
democratic victory. Senator Smith, the re-
publican member who has been charged with
bribery and corruption, ''rose to explain" yes
terday, but made rather a lame defence, and
being met on all sides by reiteration of demo-
cratic charges, he subsidized without having
maintained" his point very satisfactorily.
After this display the Legislature adjourned
sine die, and the republicans cordially en-
dorscd Smith for his courage and patriotism.

THE SPANISH CoRTEs has reaffirmed its for
mer resolution never to part with Cuba. The
government was severely attacked for what
one of the speakers termed Its "vaciating
conduct in the suppression Of the insurrec-
ton. or high-aowing phrases, in which Span
ish orators are wont to delight, there was no
lack. The Ministry was likewise bitterly up
braided for having even listened to the propo-
sitions for the sale Of the island, which Gen
eral Sickles is alleged to have made to the
Spanish government. Has General Sckles
really made such propositions? If so, Secre-
tary Fish owes the American people some ex-

BEN BUTLER has uucorked himself. Mas

and to the discontinue of the political ring

himself candidate for the Office
Some of the Generals admirers, not
fully understanding his position regard
ing national and local affairs, pro-
pounded series of questions in regard to
these matters, which interrogatories he an
swers in his usual shrewd manner His po-
ltical bias is not very clearly defined, but
in regard to State affairs he is
as explicit as words can define. In
reply to the question, should the prohibitory
liquor law be enforced? the General, with
out attempt at evasion, says yes, and that no
law on the statute book affecting the general
welfare should be permitted to remain unexe-
cuted. The Bay State politicians will find it
hard work to head off Butler. He will make
hard fight for the nomination, and possibly
may succeed in carrying his point.
