Our Next state Convention.

This 10 January, ana II our nepuD-
lican State Convention is TO be held
at the customary time, in June, 1t
will soon DO time for the Executive
Committee Of the party to determine
upon it. Last season there seemed
to be general desire to have late
Convention, and the Committee, In
com pliance herewith, fixed upon
the 1st Of September. The Soldiers
Reunion was afterwards appointed
for the same time, which necessitated
a change in the dnte Of the COnven-
ton, 50 it was called two weeks
earlier. There was some little COM
plant that the time was inappropri-
ate on account Of lite being too soon
after harvest for Northern Iowa
farmers to ate od. With the change
TO n later date, from Juheto August,
there was some dissatisfaction, not a
few contending that the custom OF
years had fixed t. in June, and made
that time the mos popular. On the
other hand, it wa argued that the
campaigns, in Sta.e where we vir-
tually have no fight to make except
against our own apathy; that short
and sharp canvasses, commencing
Immediately after the Convention,
and prosecuted with vigorro election,
are in many considerations better.
In the party, then, the sentiment
on the question is divided. We dc
not know how the division counts,
whether the lates or the earlit pre-.
dominate. An expression Of The
press might determine this. We
believe the general desire of THIS 10
cality is for June Convention. Qu1
own opinion, if we may be permitted
to express 1t, is that it We're better TO
postpone it till the first of September.
1t is true, If we should be mct-by an
active opposition, the time interven'
ing between that and election WOULD
not be sufficient to make all the pre-
liminaries for, and carry out all the
details Of, q thorough, complete and
systematic campaign. But we can.
not see the least thing to lead us to
imagine that our Democratic friends
intend to be any livelier along the
line in the coming contest than they
have been in those passed. This il
our opinion as to what ought to be-
Our belief as to what Will be, Is thai
the general expression will be for ar
early Convention. There seems t.

EusIisl, and Am erican Armies

II -
The London Times, in its issue Of
December %, after commenting on
the smallness Of the American army
and navy, and contrasting them with
the British, makes the following
significant observations: "The Amer
deans, though pursuing policy OF
ecopomy. qpd disarmament far more
unfesitatingly than we have done,
ccntriye, nevertheless, to command
as much respect as II they were
armed to the teeth; whereas We:
with ornaments far more extensive,
are told that we have lost our title to
the consideration of the world. 1t
is worth while inquiring how such
facts, If facts they are, can be ac-
counted for. We must look for the
explanation in the known readiness
as we'll as ability Of the Americans
to fight, Notwithstanding their prac-
tical appreciation Of the benefits Of
peace. Their exposed points are
comparatively few. Their resources
are unbounded, and, though they do
not desire war, they would not be
slow to accept challenge. We, on
the other hand, have many points
exposed. We make no secret Of our
aversion for war, and it Is alleged
that almost any provocation might
be offered with impunity. In these
considerations there lisa certain force.
But we must now say that in our
opinion the contrast itself from be-
ginning to end is more apparent than
real. We do not believe that what
Is said of US Is actually thought,
either in America or elsewhere. The
people who taunt us with reluctance
to fight are mostly those who for
purposes Of their own desire to see
us fighting. AS matter Of fact, we
may take 1t for granted that foreign
States have not the mean opinion of
us that we are occasionally pleased
to suppose; that we are not sudden
and quick in quarrel they know very
we'll; but they know, also, that we
can fight If we choose; that our
power is truly formidable, and that
when we begin war we are not in
hurry to leave of. To certain
extent, they may presume, no doubt,
on our love Of peace, but at the bot
tom they take a juster measure of
our temper and resources than might
be inferred from their occasional
sneers and our own candid opinion"

Temperance.

In looking over the old records of

temperance pledge among the doings
Of Warren County Of former days:

with an honest purpose to perform
the same, to abstain from the use Of

merable-it.is in the nature Of raw
material Of decisive Importance in
the prosecution Of theirseveral trades.
The higher, of course, pig-iron can
be sold, the better for the smelter,
but the worse for all these others.
AS they are all competing fof his
product, they naturally tend to keep
the price up to a fair, living standard.
Why, then, should the Government
step in to help him and depfess
them-he being as one to their
thousands?
Now if we look around among the
manufacturing industries Of the
country, do we not find nearly all
suffering because one or two articles
OF prime importance-like salt to the
fisherman, lumber to the builder,
iron to the shipbuilder, wool to the
carpet-maker-are SO heavily pro-
tected, that is, raised in price, that
competition with foreign manufac-
turers is difTicult or impossible?
Hence business languishes, the cost
OF subsistence keeps up, the masses
live from hand to mouth, and the
necessary revenues1lto say nothing
Of SURPRISES ome'bard. I The Rev
enue Reformers propose to change
this by the adoption Of q policy aimed
at the encouragement of the utmost
amount Of business that can be done
T.: .:a.e country, ard at raising the
purchasing value Of wages; being
fully persuaded that then our finan-
cial burdens will bear lightly while
they last, and will soon cease to be
recognized as burdens at all.
But what is the political pro-
gramme of this new school? Is 1t
necessary to get up new party, In
order to have the best style Of guns
supplied to the navy, or to improve
the civil service, or to reform our
Indian policy? 1t is a question SIM
ply of the application of sound
economic principles and common
sense to our financial situation; and
every member Of Congress VINO has
arrived at mature views will vote
accordingly as he has opportunity,
without regard to party relations.
The principles of the Revenue Re-
formers are not set down, or touched
upon, In either Of the platforms of
the last Presidential campaign; and
we doubt II they get into the next
ones, for we trust that by that time
they will be accepted and acted upon

policy of protection. The whole financial
policy has been contracted, sectional, to favor
the few and to burden the many. General
Grants administration through all its course
is now weighed in the balance and is found
wanting. Though the masses of our people
are conservative and slow 10 move they are
fast coming to this conclusion.
If the democrats be wise they may profit by
the failures and mistakes Of the administration
and the radicals. Never had great
party finer opportunity. Let them
ignore the old, dead issues of the
past, accept without reserve the changes
effected by the war and in the constitution,
advocate reduction of taxation to the lowest
point, cut down the extravagaut expenditures
that remain as remnants Of the war and give
nations Of the world that belongs to it, and
there will be fair prospect open for the next
Presidency The people anxiously look for
restoration Of the good old times when they
had an economical government, when local
institutions and liberty were respected, when
military rule was never thought of or bayo-
nets seen at the polls. The democrats have
been powerful party, and governed well.
The people seem disposed to try them again.
The radicals never comprehended the true
theory Of our government. Even the cohesive
power of the public Treasury cannot hold
them together any longer. The democrats
have the prize within their reach if they know
how to use their opportunity.

A Special Visit to tho va.1cau-Cardisaf

Special Visit to tho vaucan-CardfsaI
AntOueIli ON the Crisis In Rome.
From Rome we have report of special
visit to the Vatican made by one Of tho
HERALD correspondents under permission
accorded to him by his Eminence the Cardinal
Secretary Of State. He had an interview with
Antoneli. The same writer stood within tho
the same august parsonage last year. The
appearances are vastly changed, both local
and personal Italian monarchism has de-
moralized the lay splendOr Of the state
authority of the Pontiff to very considerable
extent. The noble guards and soldiers have
lost much of that esprit and regimental
smartness which have hitherto distinguished
them, and the palatial affairs looked a little
seedy and were vastly slipshod in their admin
islration. Cardinal Antonelli gave physical evil
dence OF the exhaustive effects which ensue
from rapid advance OF age when accompanied
with an almost unceasing pressure of mental
anxiety. He was not so springy in step or
near so inquisitive in manner. He is described
as appearing almost Indifferent to the events
of the outside world. The Cardinal was affable
and cordial, as usual, in his reception of the
representative Of the HERALD. He ex-
pressed himself amazed and disheart-
ened at the calamities Incident to and
consequent of the Franco-Prussian war;
The enumeration of the amount Of human car
mage which resulted from that terrible strug-
gle had evidently thrown all his military read
ing inio the shade-from the narrative Of st.
Peters first use of the sword to the official
reports of the battle of Lepanto, and thence
to the modern dispatches from Spoleto and
Castelidardo and Mentano. The Church
cannot be reconciled to Italy in Rome,
and civil doubt and social distraction
present on all sides in consequence.
This condition will endure most proba-
bly, until after the death Of Pho Mono,
when decided issue will be raised between
the hierarchical principle of the NON possumus
and that of the lay enunciation of 'sfree
Church in a free State" and the Christian
world be called on to decide.

Bonaparte's Visit to Wiudsor Castle.
The Emperor Napoleon the Third visited
Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle yesterday.
His Majesty enjoyed cordial reception from
the sovereign of Great Britain. The Queen
met the exiled dynast of France in the same
spirit Of friendly hospitality with which she
received him when he was lodged in Bucking
ham Palace some few years since, her peer in
the power and force of royalism, q faithful
ally, personal acquaintance and valued
friend. The encouraging smile Of genuine
English society radiated from the Queen to
her people. A very large crowd assembled in
the castle grounds, the populace cheering Ma
poleon enthusiastically. Lord Stanley delivered
an address Of welcome to the Emperor. The
children of Marshal Canrobert wese present,
living msmentos Of the rugged allied vic
tories Of the Crimea and of the French bril-
liancy Of Magenta and Solferino. The EN-
peror remained in the company Of her Majesty
and the members OF her family during an hour.
The bitter memories Of Waterloo were thus
effaced. Napoleon the First, when he set out
from Paris for the Russian campaign said:-
ssMy first grand bulletin will be written from
Moscow; my next from Buckingham Palace"
These words gave expression to q brilliant
idea, which embraced India in its sparkle, and
emitted faint yet genial twinkle Of the ap-
preaching dawn of a healthy era Of regulated
democracy in Europe. The star has been
yelled by clouds. 1t is not extinguished.
Queen Victoria acknowledges its per-
sistency; its eternity. Her conversation
with Napoleon Bonaparte at Windsor yester-
day may have been-most likely was-of far
more Importance to the future of the peoples
of Europe than that which transpired between
the great Napoleon and the Gar of Russia on
the raft at Tilsit. The circumstances of the
present hour are more encouraging for the
civilizations of the world than those which
attended the former, although they are
apparently sad for Napoleon. They have,
perhaps, terminated the reign of throne force
in the Old World, and sanctifed the age Of
popular reform, unterrifed by the CLEAN of
the sword of victorious Germany, but warned
by the lurid glare of the flsilades of Paris in
insurrection against the Paris of the revo-

of e'The Last Cart to the Guillotine" glanced
at. Most important results may ensus from
this visit Of Napoleon to Victoria. The y may
iDnre to the benefit Of the Prince Imperial.
His Highness may return TO power in France.
! Queen Victoria has another daughter to
marry. The Princess Beatrice is just one
year younger than the Prince Imperial. A
family union Of the two thrones by royal
marriage Of the Bonaparte and Guelph might
restore peace, prosperity, and financial and
commercial confidence to France, and produce
a healthy continental equilibrium poise against
the weight and influence OF consolidated
Germany, speaking from the throne Of
Charlemagne in Berlin. We live in an age
of wonders.
