and when at last they had to be replaced it
would be on so mean and cheap scale that
speed, safety and comfort would alike desert
railroad travel
Unquestionably there are monstrous abuses
in the management of American railroads;
but, in our attempts to rectify them, We must
proceed in a spirit of fairness and justice.
We must beware of q blind, impulsive, over
heated zeal, which would be too certain to
muddle what it attempted to mend All the
real rights of the railroads must be respected;
the community must not grudge them fair
care should be taken not to give wider scope
to the jugglery by which railroad gamblers
are enriched at the expense both of the stock
holders and the community. This last is the
monster evil, the source of 80 many ill-gotten
fortunes, and it may be fairly questioned
whether the making this kind of property de-
pendent on shifting legislative caprice would
not enhance the worst abuses Of the system.
A hostile Legislature. tor example, passes an
act reducing charges; the stock falls, the
gambling bears exerting themselves to carry
it down to the lowest point They then make
up great corruption fund TO bribe a succeed
ing Legislature to repeal the law, and they make
colossal fortunes by the subsequent rise of the
this danger in prosecuting necessary reforms.
We can better insure these necessary reforms
by carefully discussing the whole situation.

The Sermons Yesterday.

The sweltering weather that prevailed yes
terday forenoon tended toward lessening the
attendance at the churches, although the elo-
quence of the preachers seemed to be unim-
paired and many of the sermons were as full
of interest and attractiveness as ever. DR..
Deems, at the Church of the Strangers. ad-'
vised his congregation to speak we'll Of God,
as the Deity cannot endure to be slandered,
but loves Himself and loves us, and, there
FORE takes pleasure in our praise. 1t is a
pleasure to both parties. Dr. Porteous spoke
in the hall of the Young Mems Christian AS
sociaton on the nearness of God to the
human family in the present age. Being near
us, He will supply us with everything for our
spiritual good. In Brooklyn DR.. Fulton en-
deavored to show to his hearers the mistake
of positive faith as revealed in the life Of
Horace Greeley. This eminent man, accord
ing to the preacher, fancied God, invented
law and abandoned for it the revelations of
Divine truth. For this faith the Word OF God
was set aside His rejection of the punitive
portion of the Bible led him to terrible mis-
takes We think that DR.. Fulton might be
more proftably employed than in endeavoring
to asperse the memory of great and good
man, who he acknowledges is a glorious ex-
ample OF honesty Of life and speech II is
rather late in the day to speak OF the value of
a positive faith as shown in the life of Horace
Greeley. Another Brooklyn pastor, Dr. Wild.
warns his flock against the temptations of the
University regatta at Saratoga /; and Father
| OBrien, of the Church Of st. Charles Bor-
romeo, gives more sensible advice in telling
his hearers to lead good lives and show ex-
amples of practical holiness to the world. Al
Long Branch Rev. Mr.. Tomkins gave some
timely hints on the same subject, urging the
congregation to become worlds missionaries
Such sermons are calculated to effect mucl
good, and are preferable to score of sensa
tional rhapsodies.

Englan and the Vfrginius.

We publish in another column extracts
from the correspondence between the British
and Spanish governments in reference to the
execution of British subjects who formed part
of the virginius crew. 1t is worthy OF note
that the British government denies absolutely
the right OF the authorities to inhict the
death penalty on men who were non-com-
batants. The plea that the virginus was
pirate Is secuted, and the right
Of Spain to make blockade running
o piratical offence is firmly denied. This
view, in keeping with common. sense and
humanity, contrasts strangely with the mean
and cowardly interpretations of the law OF

American Secretary We can scarcely hope

sidered that the corn has been saved and that
the early anticipations Of a large crop will be
realized. When it is considered that the rain
fall was as much needed for potatoes, oats
and grass as it was for corn, the commercial
value of the change Of weather and the differ
ence in profits to the farmers of half dozen
Northwestern States can be estimated only by
millions of dollars. Never was rain more

The anniversary of the battle of Aughrim
was celebrated yesterday in quiet way by tho
Orange lodges in this city and in Jersey. Un-
fortunately, the day has acquired sad noto-
riety in this city. The celebration, from
whatever point of view we regard it, is foolish
and unnecessary, and We cannot but hope
that the leaders of the Orange Society may
see the advisability of wholly discontinuing it.
at least in this country. Here the old enmities
ought to be allowed to die. This country is
free to all, and those who love the orange may
worship it to their hearts content, but they
must keep the peace 1t is, perhaps, little
unhandsome to keep up the memory of bat
tie which was won, not by Orange Irlshmen,
but by Dutch and English troops some two
hundred years ago. 1t would be much wiser
for both sections of Irishmen to avoid these
pohnco-religious displays. They effect no
good for any one, they only render the men
who take part in them ridiculous and bring
their common country into contempt II
Irish Orangemen have nothing else to be
proud of than the successes gained by for
eign troops over their own countrymen they
can scarcely expect people of other nationali-
ties either to sympathize with or respect them.
We are glad that the leaders of this Orange
organization have resolved to render the cele-
bration of the victory of Aughrim az little
offensive as possible and we hope their oppo-
nents will show equal good sense in refrain
ing from all interference with the 'loyap'
celebratonists. The surest way to put down
this foolish parading is to take no notice of it

insect life lying dormant there would be very
marked. 1t is not necessary in the North
west that this should be done in midwinter,
for the March and April winds are frigorific
enough 1t appears likely, therefore, that
the farmers who can turn up their fields while
the cold weather lasts would have the best
prospect of escaping the ruinous presence of
locusts.
1t is strange that, with all our boast Of the
progress of agricultural science and ento-
mology, the rural public is all in the dark

Return OF John Mitchell to Ireland.
The well known leader of the young Ire
land party in the revolutionary agitation of
As, Mr.. John Mitchell, sails for Ireland to-
morrow. It will be remembered that this gen.
tleman was tried in Dublin, and sentenced to
penal servitude, on the charge of treason
felony. After some years passed in the penal
colonies of Bermuda and Van Diemens Land,
he escaped to the United States. 1t is his in
tention to enter the British Parliament as q
home ruler. One of the most prominent
men of the party will retire in order to secure
his immediate election. As Mr.. Mitchell is,
in the eyes of the British law, convict whose
term Of punishment is unexpired, his reap
pearance on the political scene may create
some difficulty. In view of the length Of
time which has elapsed, and the amnesty
granted to the other participators in the '48
movement. it is not likely that any attempt
will be made to interfere with his freedom of
action. The influence welded in Ireland by
''the exile is greater than that which any
other home rule leader can lay claim to. and
he will, therefore, be formidable addition
to the party. Mr.. Mitchell is brilliant
and sarcastic writer. His influence in the
home rule party will not fail to make itself
felt He has the confidence of the people aa
man who can neither be frightened nor
bought.

The Locust Plague in the North.
west-Is there Preventive

The locust plague which has fallen on the
fair fields Of the Northwest appears to defy all
remedial measures. Unless some means is
devised for arresting the eastward march of
these swarms of crop-devouring insects the
consequences may be most serious.
The nostrums suggested by agricultural
authorities and claimed to be safeguards
against the grasshopper and locust, have
proved either too expensive or too dan
gerous for common use. Paris green is no
doubt unwholesome to the grasshopper, but its
arsenical ingredients are deadly to the farmer
and deteriorating to the soil he spreads
it over. Experiment has shown that such
poisonous substances cannot be safely used
unless in diluted form and in small quantities.
The expensiveness of all chemicals, even those
which are harmless, sends the farmer to
some simple and mechanical means OF con-
tending with the evil.
1t is questionable whether the invasions OF
grasshoppers can ever be prevented in some
portions of the West. These insects are bred
in myriad numbers on the Rocky Mountain
slopes and protected by the snow covering
of the soil until the genial weather of spring
arrives and they can go forth on their depre.
dations In their breeding places they can.
not be reached But when colony
has moved eastward and deposited its
eggs in the soil they may be attacked.
! It is said that in the Southwest the
spring crop of grasshoppers has sometimes
been cut off by deep ploughing and turning
over the layer of soil upon the eggs to crusi
them. This expedient, especially if repeated
may be effectual But the great aim of IN
agriculturist ought to be to expose the sol
and subsoil to the freezing temperatures o
winter and spring. Were it possible to re
move the snow, 50 that the intense cold shoui

The Troy Wing, discussing the probable
appointment of an American cardinal by the
Pope, an indication of which was published
in the HERALD yesterday, fears that it would
be dangerous experiment. "We will not
say" adds this judicious writer, 'that no
citizen of this Republic has q right to accept
a title from foreign government, but We will
say that titles of nobility are inconsistent
with our republican simplicity. A cardinal
is a prince and the title is suited only to
monarchical countries If the Pope will
come to America, will abolish the College Of
Cardinals and call council of bishops to
provide some other mode Of electing the head
of the Church on earth, he will 60 long way
toward promoting the union OF Christians. !"
To this we answer that the title of cardinal is
no more unsuited to the institutions OF
America than that of archbishop. There is
no authority in the title and no rank, except
Of an ecclesiastical character, just as we
see in England. AS to the Pope calling q
council and providing new way of eiecting
head of the Church, the question is so new
and radical that it must have careful refec-
ton. Our only point now is that if cardinals
are at all needed in the Church we should
have the Office in America.

The old soldier placed by the Assembly at
the head Of the French government has evil
dently no intention to be made the toy
of warning factions. He has been given
power and means to bold it In an ad-
dress to the army he limited this very clearly.
Since the Figaro has discovered that
MacMahon will not allow himself to- be
made the tool of the selfish and designing
faction that desires to bring back the +@divine
right" pretender and his ridiculous flag it
has become very sarcastic on the Marshal.
The attacks Of the Figaro have, however,
been somewhat summarily stopped by the
suspension of that paper, and as the pro-
prietor more than once demanded the sup
preston of rival journals be cannot well com.
plain, nor can he expect sympathy. In
any case he will not receive much. The action
of the government in suspending the Figaro
you'd seem to point to a change Of policy
favorable to the definite establishment of the
Republic. It tells France, also, very clearly
that MacMahon means to make his govern
ment respected by all parties in the State,
1t only requires the dissolution of the Assembly
and an understanding with the republican
leaders to secure the definite establishment oi
the Republic with fair chance of perma.

A NEW METHOD On REsr-The discussion
ON cremation has excited the ~ JUS oi uer-
man philosopher, named steinbeir, S.u',. Sno,
according to a German Newspaper, PROPOSES
to cover the body of the deceased with Roman
or Portland cement, which hardens into
solid mass and renders the escape of noxious
gases impossible. According to this plan the
corpse would be placed in a sarcophagus of
already hardened cement the cavity in which
it reposed would be filed up with the same
material, and both would harden together into
= thick slab of substance resembling stone.
Thus the deceased buried in this manner
would rest within instead of under his tomb
stone, and grave and monument be comprised
in the same block of imitation granite This
new method of rendering ashes TO ashes and
dust to dust possesses several architectural
and economical advantages over cremation
and other expedients. A man may have his
ancestors converted into pillars and garden
statues and thus really live surrounded by
the stony shades Of his forefathers.
