The Church OF England and tho
Papncy.

For three hundred years it has been the
dream Of the Papacy to win back England
to her old allegiance to the Roman Catholic
Church. To attain this result her prelates
have increasingly preached, prayed and in
trigued, and we may be certain that the
agencies. human and spiritual, Of the
Church are as actively at work in this direc-
ton to-day Us they were when the second
james was King. The special cable de-
spatches from Paris which we print this
morning have probably very little founda-
ton in fact so far as large portion Of the
Church of England is concerned, but il is
by no means certain we are not on the
eve Of another accession to the Church Of
Rome similar to the famous Oxford move
ment thirty-fve years ago. An exodus of the
leading divincs and members of the Church
of England to the Church Of Rome, such as
is contemplated by the confidential friend
oil the Vatican, would be the most impor-
tant event in religious history since tho
Reformation. 1t would, Of course, mean the
end of Professionalism in England tho prob
able change of the British constitution,
and--who can tell ?-the accession of His
Royal Highness tho Prince of Wales, when
his royal mother shall have died, as the first
Catholic King of England since the expul-
sion of the last Of the Stuarts.

In oil the churches this day, as the great
est Of the Christian festivals, will be Gel
ebrated with all the pomp to which their
ceremonial is equal; and churches that
are poor in ceremonial will exc out an effect
with the rich appeal that music makes to the
senses It has indeed become in the churches
of this city certainly day Of great rivalry
in this particular, and serves an excellent
purpose in the cultivation of o taste for the
finer class Of sacred music. On the prom
enades the day will be celebrated in its pc
culiar way as the fixed occasion for the pro-
duction Of all that is fine and fair and
dainty in new attire. ''Didst thou not
fall out with a tailor for wearing his new
doublet before Easter? ?" says Mercutio to
Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet"-so
we'll recognized in that ancient time
was tho custom still observed of
the Easter Day display of new garments.
This custom was related. no doubt, to the
older and pagan Significance OF the day; for
Easter is older than Christianity--a old,
indeed as the time when men first thought
to rejoice in the revived life Of the world
that comes with springtime. In its pagan
sense. too, and as q strictly popular
festival, tho day will be celebrated
in the city, but mainly by our
citizens of foreign birth. With tho
Germans 1t will be celebrated with great
zest and in the usual jovial way ut all the
places of popular resort, while our French
residents will be gay in concert at Tam
many Hail. In short, the widest possible
range Of tastes can be gratified in the OBJ
servances that will be made OF tho day in
tho city

Our storm Warnings in England.
The conservative British mind is slow to
accept ideas that have been conceived be-
yond the reach of the peculiar Influences
that control it. 1t does not matter much,
it would seem, whether the practical advan-
tages of nom British discoveries are partiop-
larly beneficial to the people OF England,
they are somehow received with q re-
sentful feeling that anybody who knows
or does anything that has not the
official s.Tower mark" on it should
be promptly suppressed as meddler
and disturber of British institutions gene
rally. There are some people, however, In
England whose souls and understandings
have outgrown the narrow but conventional
limits and whose knowledge of geography,
&C., enables them to form very correct
opinion of the relations borne by the British
Islands to the rest of the world. One OF
these is Mr. w. H. Daniels, of the London
Institution, whose letter to the Times on the
subject Of the HERALD storm warnings is
contained in our special cable dispatches this
morning. Mr.. Daniels, in his emphatic pro-
test against the opinion expressed by cor
respondent of the Times that the British
people need not trouble themselves about
warnings from America because the local
forecasts are $50 reliable" very clearly
shows that on q recent occasion the British
people were indebted solely to the HDRALD
for timely warning Of rain and storm, and
that tho local forecasts made by the
ory,iy, Of
the disastrous rain" that commenced to
fall about the hour when one of these
local forecasts was being issued. We
were not aware when we undertook
the labor and expense of issuing gratui-
tously storm warnings for the benefit OF
British commerce and agriculture that the
people benefited by such warnings would
deem attention to them troublesome. If
the predictions were disregarded by gen.
eral consent in England our faith in their
accuracy would not be impaired in the
least degree. But the correspondent OF
the Times, whom Mr. Daniels answers so
pointedly and well, seems to be under the
impression that the people of England
did trouble themselves about our warm
ings, and that it was his duty to plant
himself on the side Of conservatism-and,
let us say, absurdity and declare that, as
britannia rules the waves" her control
OF the winds and the weather is not to be
disputed either. Fortunately for our safety
on this side we have the weather gauge of
Great Britain. If she menaces the United
States with her iron-clads on account of
our interfering with her weather the
HERALD will simply withhold its storm
warnings, and the British armada will re-
main in port until popular faith in local
weather forecasts will be created. Then,
indeed, we may catch it.

As the Ways nnd Means Committee have
decided to report measure reimposing the
income tax we shall soon have q revival in
Congress OF that breezy Western and South
ern eloquence which has SO often shown
how atrociously criminal it is for the East
ern States to have moro money than other
States, and that the only atonoment they
can make is to pay oil the taxes. 1t is
proposed to assess two per cent on all in
comes above two thousand dollars. This.
therefore, is not exclusively tax on the
rich man, and must necessarily give the tax
an extensive application in every part Of the
country If the bill shall ever become a law.
For q good while there have been murmurs
that the West and South would insist
upon the revival of this tax, be-
cause under it their section, as the
relatively less moneyed districts would
escape easily. while the Eastern States
would pay heavily. But the very fact that
under this tax the burden falls ON commu-
mites not in proportion to population is
one which constitutes the tax an illegal one.
1t can only be justly imposed in su6h a way
that New York and Illinois will equally pay,
not according to wealth, but according to
the number Of people in each, and if 1t is
imposed otherwise its collection will DO
opposed in the courts.

disposition to put stop to the border
troubles or too weak to carry out
its intentions. There is no conceivable
reason why the raids which ceased
during the suspension of our official
relations with the Mexican government
should suddenly revive on their re-estab-
lishment. The Diaz government would
certainly be interested i'm keeping the
peace and would be likely under any cir
cumstances to do its best to justify the con-
fidence manifested in it by the government
OF the United States. 1t is possible that the
Lerdists might incite and encourage the
renewal OF the raids as piece Of political
strategy, to foment early dissatis-
faction with the act Of recognition.
But we doubt if they have the strength
to make such raids as important
or AS extensive as the reports imply. Should
it be their work the Diaz government would
have an additional incentive to check it
with vigorous hand, and, an earnest,
united effort on the part Of the Mexican
regulars and our own troops to intercept
and sumlnarily punish the marauders would
speedily put q stop to the trouble. It is,
however, essential that Diaz should now
prove not only his honest intention but his
power to preserve the peace of the border,
and it would be fatal mistake on his part
should he hesitate at any effort or any sacri-
fee necessary for that purpose.

Iron Telegraph Posts as Sewer
VentilatOrs.


ventilators.
A correspondent writes from New Orleans
recommending that iron posts made SO as
to serve as ventilating shafts for sewers, as
also as gaslight posts, could be advan-
tageously adopted in New York for carrying
the telegraph wires. We do not agree with
him as to the advisability Of such plan
for several reasons. First-The mere
substitution Of tall iron pipes-for they
would be nothing else-for the ex-
tremely unsightly wooden poles now in
use, would not add anything to the appear
ance of things in the streets, and the un-
sightliness would remain; the tall pipes
would be as much distractions as the
wooden poles are at present the shafts, as
ventilators, should be connected by pipes
with the sewers that generally run through
the centres of the avenues. Second-As to
using iron as material for telegraph posts,
the objections are still more important.
Imperfect insulation would certainly result
with an enormously increased induction.
The constant vibration of the iron posts
under the strain of the wires would in itself
set up on electrical development that would
seriously compromise the operation Of the
lines. The object being to carry the wires
without using poles as at present, no end
could be served by the substitution. Per-
haps the best plan of laying city wires would
be to place them in cheap glass or ware
pipes, we'll protected from moisture The
roof to roof system used in London is not
suited to the peculiar style Of building in
this country.

TnE WEAIlIRn.--Fhc general fall Of the ba-
rolnetcr over the region from the Upper Mis-
sissppi Valley TO the New England coast marks
the movement eastward of the depression so
long In tho western districts. Although ,lisor-
ganized as u storm it preserves all the necessary
elements for the renewal Of violent disturbance,
perhaps on our Eastern coost, but certainly east
ward Of IL In the Atlantic. The rains that ut
tended the storm ia the West have decreased,
except in the central valley districts ranging
between Nashs lie, Tenn, and 81. Louis. The
temperatures are generally high, except in the
upper lake region and the Northeast coast.
They have been very low III the West but
Increased during yesterday. Over tho lake re-
zion the winds are fresh aud increasing,
but are us yet below the force dcvcl-
opcd recently In tho Western districts.
The highest pressure is now over Florida
and the lowest over the lake region. Else
where the barometer ranges very little, but Is
generally below the mean. The weather in New
York and its vicinity today will bo warmer and
cloudy. with occasional rains followed by grad
ualy falling temperature Tomorrow it will
be slightly cooler and cloudy, possibly with
light rain.

An Untcnable Opinion.

Some Of our municipal authorities that
vestigate the causes Of death are fond of
INDUCING in an arbitrary demoanor toward
doctors who have given certificates of death ;
and not less fond, it would seem, OF indulg-
ing in conclusions of their own ut least
quite as ridiculous as those they criti-
else in others. In the recent death
Of the boy Schweizer, at Mclrose,
there is an instance of this. 1t
appears permit for burial was refused, as
the health authorities did not accept the
doctors statement Of tho cause of death,
aud an autopsy was made by deputy COR
oncr, who decided that tho cause OF death
was suiiocation due to the presence of pieces
of egg in the respiratory passages. Now. this
was evidently not the true cause of death,
and is very lame conclusion to be reached
by authorities who have gone to the trouble to
examine the case for themselves. 1t appears
that the child was exceedingly i'll for three
days and only ate on the fourth day of his
sickness the egg Of which portions were sub
scqucntly found in the right bronchus. Ho
was afflicted with some grievous malady be-
fore the egg was taken, but tho egg cannot
even DO regarded as an intercurrent cause
of death for IL was found in one bronchus
only, and the passage to the other lung was
clear. 10 assume that boy died Of suffoca-
ton with one lung in good condition and
the passage to it Hnobstructed is piece of
medical imbecility common enough in q
cornner's Office but not elsewhere.
