The FIRST Picnic of the season for the des.
titute children of the city-the initiation of
series of entertaining excursions for the little
ones, originated and managed by Mr.. G. F.
Williams the neutrality-suspicious. place
Yesterday, and, as will be seen by
our account published elsewhere, proved
an entire success, bringing happiness to o
large number of the citys waits, to whom
life in the main affords little enjoyment No
more happy thought could be conceived than
this Of gathering from the by places of this
great metropolis from the tenement houses.
the cellars and the streets, these little
ones, born in poverty, only accustomed to
the walls of brick and granite and the hard.
inhospitable pavements, and initiating them
into the pure air of the country with its
green fields, its running brooks and ita
thousand varied objects Of interest. The large
number of 1870 children took part in the
excursion, and Mr.. Williams, determined that
his idea should be carried to success
full termination, was everywhere present.
seeing that everything was provided
which could contribute to the joyful
ness of the occasion. He has announced
his determination to have these picnics twice
a week, and it needs no word Of ours to induce
our citizens to contribute literally to on enter

the words, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the
least of these ye did it unto me-"

A COLLEGE, PRESIDENT ON THE RIGHT
TRAcK.-The President Of Bowdoin College,
Maine, Mr. Chamberlain, in his address to
the graduating class, pointed out the true
standard between science and philosophy and
religion, and criticised the theories of positiv-
lists and the false assumptions of scientists.
Scepticism has run wild upon the mere
theories of scientists, much to the injury OF
young minds in our schools and no better
service can be rendered to the cause OF
morality. religion and civilization than for
learned professors to point out the falacy and
to show how religion and science can be made

The Emperor OF Russia Mt Ems.

We print this morning pleasant letter re-
counting the visit of the Gar Of Russia to Ems,
together with on interview with that distin-
guished sovereign. 1t is pleasant picture
our correspondent draws OF the Emperor
striding about the famous watering place with
the ease and simplicity OF mere landed pro-
prietor taking his summer recreation. Though
American readers have little respect for the
divinity which it was once supposed doth
hedge q king, yet great emperor in common
clothes cannot fail to be of interest to most OF
them. But whether it is the clothes or the
king to which this interest is due among a ma
ton of sovereigns is not an easy matter to de-
termine. Be this as it may, the universal
Yankee nation will sleep better these summer
nights for knowing that the Emperor OF Rus
sia dresses like gentleman and believes that
there is no present danger to the peace Of
Europe. The relations of Italy and Germany.
the attitude of the Ottoman Empire and the
new Eastern question, consequent upon Rus
sian movements in Central Asia, were sub
iects Of the conversation. These movements,
the Gar says, were undertaken simply
in the interest of civilization, and for that
reason he thinks no war can result from them.
This is a neat way Of putting it, but it is
scarcely logical, and the conflicting interests
OF England and Russia may overturn the
Emperor's fine theory almost any day. All
this, however, only adds to the interest of a
letter that is singularly graphic in its descrip-
ton of the Czar and his methods of life at
Ems.

In This financial year about four millions o.
dollars will be expended in and around Phila-
delphia. Congress will yet do her duty by
the Centennial" We congratulate our neigh
Dor, and we were on the point OF saying
our suburb on her success, and, at the same
time, think from what Mr.. Kelley says that
Congress has quite done its duty.

STILL ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Our
reports this morning Of the accident on the
Shore Line Railroad, at Stony Creek, Conn,
will inspire mingled feelings of sorrow az the
death of Superintendent Wilcox and the mu-
tilatioh of some sixty to seventy other persons,
and Of qualification that no more were killed
and that the injury was not greater to the
wounded. 1t was, really, providential
escape for vast number. Five passenger
cars, full of people, were thrown from
the track while running over q bridge. The
cause of the accident, it is said, was mis-
placed switch. Sometimes it is one thing and
sometimes another which in these too fre.
quent disasters kill and mutilate people, and,
perhaps misplaced switch is the more
general cause. Railroad companies and en-
ployes are too neglecttul Of their duty to the
public. Looking at the frightful results, the
penalty for such negligence or carelessness
ought to be most severe.

PHILADELPHIA AND THE GENERAL GOVERN
MENT.--We have had an anxious feeling about
Philadelphia as city worthy Of encourage
ment and aid, but which somehow had been
hardly used by the government We were led
to think so by the sorrowful comments and re-
monstrances of the Philadelphia press on the
occasion of the defeat of the Centennial bill
We felt that perhaps our sister city had been
used hardly and that generosity might have
been after all the highest form Of economy.
But it seems from an address of William D.
Kelley, who is now entreating an election to
Congress, that we all this time have been mis-
taken. philadelphia, says Mr.. Kelley,
''owes the Forty-third Congress thanks.
Since the foundation of the government and
during times of peace no such amount Oh
monev has been appropriated to this city,

The American Cardinal.

His Holiness the Pope, in addressing ccm-
pany of the devout pilgrims who recently sur
rounded the Papal throne with gifts,
said that in America he was really Pope;
that in other countries in Europe he
was not; for here he could publish what
documents and bulls he pleased-a privi-
lege he did not enjoy in other lands. This
tribute to the freedom and humanity of
American institutions is gratifying But we
cannot cease to regret that o country
that gives the Papal Office liberty it pos
sesses in no other lands should be overlooked
in distributing the highest Offices of the
Church. Recently His Holiness made several
the long list of venerable prelates who serve
the Church in the United States. With
out questioning the judgment of infallibility,
we cannot help thinking that if cardinals are
needed in the Church we should have a fair
share in the United States We saw the
high Office merely because he was cousin of
the Emperor Napoleon. Certainly America
has as much claim upon the Pope as the Bona
parte family. The danger is that there will
be discomfort in the councils of the Church,
and the repetition Of a belief that was used
with so much force by Luther in the Reforma-
ton, that the Church was controlled by an
italian ring His Holiness presides over a
Church that is not Italian or Spanish or
French, but cosmopolitan, and the awarding
of its highest Offices to Italians mainly will
certainly dishearten prelates of other countries
Church. We are afraid our pilgrims did not
impress these arguments upon the Pope, or
they would have returned with that supreme
distinction of cardinals hat, to which
America is certainly entitled.

AN EXTRAORDINARY DIVORCE CASE 1t is
common enough for wives to apply to the
courts and get divorces in cases of cruel
treatment by their husbands, but rarely is an
the ground of cruel treatment by wife Such
. case came up, however, before Judge West
brook in the Supreme Court yesterday. Jules
D. Meyer, the complainant charged his wife,
Ellen D. Meyer, with cruel and inhuman
treatment, and SO satisfied was the Judge with
the truth and gravity of the complaint that he
granted the divorce, though, as he said, with
great hesitation and reluctantly. There is,

The Pope s ADDRESS TO THE COLLEGE OF
CARDINALS, which is published in the HERALD
to-day, will be read with unusual interest, for
the reasons that 1t reports the facts which
have influenced the Holy Father in his deter
mination to refuse the recent offer of the
ztalian-or Piedmontese, as he calls it-gov-
ernment for reconciliation OF the differences
which exist between the lay Power and the
Church. and that it was spoken verbally to
the members of the conclave. The Pope sets
forward a strong case, the several positions
and the logic of which may be accepted as the
ecclesiastical finale Of the great argument
which was opened by Plus the Seventh when
he excommunicated Napoleon the First, and
was taken prisoner to Savona, in 1909.
EVERY CITIZEN who looks with the delight
,f lad freed from school and the gentle
hraldom of study to the mountain and the
seashore, and his summer romp and ramble,
should remember the thousands Of poor, pallid
suffering ones who remain at home. There
cannot be true enjoyment when we refec,
upon the misery left behind us enclosed within
Che waters around this island. Mr. Williams,
the phiianthropist, whose humane heart con-
ceived the idea of childrens excursions, and
under whose gentle and earnest efforts SO
many thousands of our poorest waits
have been enabled TO 60 out for q
day to the green fields, is busy organizing and
experimenting another series. There is nc
more beautiful and wholesome charity. lie
every citizen feel before he goes to enjoy hi
own summer that he must do something
towards allowing the suffering children of th
poor 10 have small share OF his comfort

portant opinion in the suit OF Charles T. Strong re-
ceiyer OF the Atlantic National Bank. against Charles r.

alteration that all the facts were known to the bank
