and Carey have done. But Sherman has put
him to shame by his speech. We hope Thur
man will yet come out and instruct his party
in sound finance as Sherman is doing. 1t
would be hope-inspiring spectacle to see
the two Ohio Senators, belonging TO Opposite
parties, but united for the country's good and
honor, going through their State together
laying down to the people sound instruction
on the currency question. If Mr.. Thurman
wants to rise to the occasion and maintain
his true position in Ohio and in the country
he will not leave the honors of this field to his
colleague, Senator Sherman.

The O,Conneli celebration.

The managers of the OConnell celebration
error in making religious demonstration of
what should be national festival upon the
ground that O'Connell did so much for the
Church that it would be wrong for the Church
not to render him all possible honors. 1t is
true that he accomplished wonders for his
great movement which ended in the passage
of the Emancipation act by Parliament. This
may be considered the only public victory
which the Roman Catholic Church won in
Europe during this century. Everywhere else
it has met with disaster or defeat. In Ger
many, in Austria, in France, it has lost
ground politically, and holds its own in
Belgium, Spain and Portugal only by con-
slant struggle. But it is unnecessary to re-
peat these examples when we find the Pope
no longer possessed of temporal power and
living in Rome itself, the citadel of his
dominions, almost as prisoner. This
is the experience of the Church in
Catholic countries, and O'Connell stands
out alone as her victorious champion.
He is the only man who achieved an
absolute, complete triumph for the Church In
the last seventy years, and it is more remark
able for being won from a Protestant coun-
try. The Church has, therefore, every reason
to be thankful to O'Connell for his splendid
services and not to take proper and promi-
nent part in the celebration of his birthday
would naturally be looked upon as an act of
ingratitude to the Liberator.
But these facts do not justify the Church in
taking entire possession Of the celebration
and using it for political purposes in Ger
many and England, as we are assured has
been done by Cardinal Cullen, the Lord
Mayor of Dublin and other dignitaries who
are pledged to the ultramontane policy.
O'Connell was more than q representative of
the Church; he was the representative of Irish
aspirations for political independence. The
course taken by the managers of the Gen.
tennial Celebration has offended many
of the best friends of his cause, and
thus imperils it's success. The discussions re-
ported in our special dispatches by cable have
made this danger clear. The management
must be evil which excludes from any
part in the celebration the home rule
party, the Irish Professionals, the English
liberals, alarms the government and threatens
to create a disturbance in Dublin. This last
fact we learn from our special dispatches to-
day, and also that Earl Desart, liberal no
bleman, has denounced the centenary arrange
ments on account of their sectarian charac-
ter. The Church, under the pretext of honor
ing his memory, Is really destroying his work,
and we cannot see much gratitude in using
the fame Of O'Connell to create political and
religious discussions among his friends

international Rifle Matches.

We place before our readers to-day the de-
tailed scores made by the Irish, Scotch and
English teams in their contest for the Elcho
one and the shooting exceedingly creditable
to the skill of the marksmen, twenty-one
of whom made an average of centres
and over. Of these eleven made over
100 points out of a possible 225. 1t is
worthy of remark that not one of the three
the Americans, either at Dollymount or Creed
moor. The value of these international
matches in giving zest 70 rifle shoot
ing cannot be overestimated, and we
hope the effort to establish interstate
matches at Creedmoor will be attended
international contests has already been SO
amply demonstrated in creating and cement
ing good feeling that it Is evidently the inter-
est of all parties to encourage them. Skill in
the use of arms should be demanded from the
citizens of all free countries. Despots may
defend their thrones by the purchased aid
of military caste, but freedom must be Sc
curely based on the arms of freemen. Our
institutions are incompatible with the exist
ence of special military caste, and therefore
it behooves us to see that our people have that
acquaintance with arms and skill in their use
that would enable the peaceful citizen to be-
come, at q moments notice, an effective de-
fender of the liberty and honor of the coun-
try. In no way can this be done SO cheaply
or so effectively as by the promotion of a
friendly rivalry between our own people and
foreign nations. 1t is only a few years
since small group Of men banded
together at Creedmoor to cultivate the
art of rife shooting, which had fallen
almost into disuse among our people, who
were tired of the clang of arms and not very
much enamored of "villanous saltpetre" in
any of its manifestations. But a revival has
taken place, and the people once more begin
to regard with affection the national weapon
and wonder that they could have consented
for moment to lay aside their claim to the
highest skill in its use. The victories won
by our rifiemen will do much to encourage
this feeling, and before many years have
passed we may look confidently to the thou
sands of marksmen ready to battle for the
honor Of America in peaceful contests like
those at Wimbledon and Creedmoor or in the
sterner field of war.

WHAT'S IL PLATFORM PA great deal of
fuss is being made over the imitation platform
built up by the Ohio democracy. The repub-
licans are profting by the blunders of their
opponents, as usual, and the democrats are
sometimes justifying their platform, some
times repudiating it, sometimes explain
ing away its worst features and sometimes in
sisting that 1t does not mean what 1t says and
does mean what it does not say. But, after
all, what's in platform? Here in New York
Governor Tilden and Mayor Wickham were
elected on 'Home Rule" platform, and ever
since the election Governor Tilden has been
stripping New York city Of the last vestige of
self-government, while Mayor Wickham has
been importing his heads of New York
city departments from New Jersey. II tho
democrats should win in Ohio the successful
candidates viii repudiato imitation and insist
on hard money and paper contraction.

The Gravcst Danger to the Democ-
racy.

When our free and easy politicians applaud
speakers like Sam Carey, of Ohio, in their
discussion of financial questions and their de-
nunciation OF all bondholders as coupon
clippers" when they divide political conven-
tons upon the question seriously presented
as to whether we shall or shall not pay our
debts and sustain our national credit, they in
vite q danger that as yet has not been clearly
comprehended. We mean the nomination of
General Grant for o third term
AS the HERALD showed some time since,
when commenting upon the letter of President
Grant to General Harry White, of Pennsyl-
vania, the President himself left the door
open for his acceptance of such nomination,
while the republican party had no one. man
strong enough to dispute its suffrages with
him. We showed that the strongest man in
the republican party to-day was the President
himself; that he was virtually master of its
organization. Some venerable leader like Mr..
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, might venture to
criticise the wisdom of his running for the
third term, or some shrewd but timid states
man like Mr.. Blaine might say as much to his
friends over q tea table. But no leading re-
publican possessed of the confidence of the
party has ventured to challenge the Presi-
dents supremacy within the organization.
Now, this being the case, if we allow an issue
to grow into our politics involving the ma
tional honor and the integrity of our debt
we compel all honest men to take sides
against that claim without regard to party.
We introduce question more vital in its con-
sequences to this nation than that of slavery,
because we never can be q nation of a higher
rank than Turkey or Morocco unless we put
our national honor beyond parley or dispute
Once we allow this question to take shape
and we have that imperative necessity" to
which Grant alluded in his letter, when he
said that it might be necessary for a President
to be chosen for third term.
President Grant has made his record clear
on this question by his memorable veto Of the
imitation bill He, therefore, stands in po-
sition of twofod strengh-frst, as the I'M
questioned leader Of the republican party and
master of its discipline and its resources, and,
second, as the leader Of the authorization SEN
timent OF the country and the natural chief
of all who believe in suppressng this move
ment against our credit Now if this ques-
ton arises, and if the honest men OF the
country are made to feel that they are threat
ened with the triumph of party which will
rend American credit from its top to its foun-
dation, what is to prevent the nomination Of
President Grant for third term and the pre-
cipitation upon the country Of an issue of the
most tremendous character? This is where
demagogues, who talk about coupon clip
pers," are slowly driving the republican
party and the country

yet sufficient to enable us to calculate with

but it seems at present that the losses will fall
on the counties of Cattaraugus, Columbia,
Delaware, Madison, Oneida, Oswego, Ontario,
otsego, st. Lawrence, Ulster, Washington and

The MORTALITY AMONG CHILDREN.
fearful mortality among children through
cholera iniantum or summer complaint has
induced DIR. E. H. Gibbs, whose letter we
publish to-day, to propose volunteer and
gratuitous service among city physicians in
such cases during the months of August and
September. 1t is suggested that one hundred
doctors and as many female nurses as are
willing to enlist in such work might be in-
strumental in saving many little ones from
death during the hot season. The service
would, no doubt, be most valuable auxiliary
to the relief already afforded by our charitable
institutions, and the suggestion deserves
serious consideration. The most humane
work that can now be done Is the preserva-
ton of the lives OF children, too often need
lessly sacrificed through the want of proper
medical advice, careful nursing and nourishing
food. The mission in which DR.. Gibbs has
enlisted is an excellent one, and it is to be
hoped that his efforts will meet with en-
couragement and success.
