Senator Herman is a gentleman OF whom
everybody wishes to speak with respect. He
is moderate, conscientious, and patriotic.
When we find him therefore misrepresenting
the pending controversy between the political
parties in Congress, and joining the dema-
eOgues in attrbuting to the Democracy mo-
tiyes which it is certain that faction does not
entertain, and denOuncing his opponents for
principles which they utterly reject and
abomnate, we must conclude that ne has
been carried ont of his judgment by the tor
rent of absurd and dishonest rant which
much less reputable politicians than himself
have let loose upon the country. In calmer
times Mr.. Herman might at least be trusted
to understand a great public question and to
state it fairly; but his address in the Senate
on Wednesday was remarkable for ignoring
what his side and ours are each driving at.
Mr. Herman regrets that the use of the
Army at the polls should have been made a
party question. This is his first mistake
The use of the Army at the polls has not
been made a party question. His friends
would like to raise it to that Importance; but
it takes two to make dispute, and the Re-
publicans absolutely and most emphatically
refuse to discuss that question at all. Mr..
Herman and his associates are invited to draw
up declaration against the use of the mill
tary either to interfere with the freedom of
elections, or TO L.opire voters with dread of
interference (which would be as bad as the

HOW TO SEE THE CENTRAL PARK

In spite of acknowledgement, frequent changes of
plan incompetent supervision and spollation by en-
ploy6s who have dug out and carried away some of
its choicest specimens of plants and shrubs.
Central Park is still a spot of wonderful
beauty. Aud Mt season IS IL more
attractive than it is just now. The turf
is Of the softest green. The early spirBas are COW
cred with q wealth of snowy bloom. The masses
Of cydonia and forsythia and tho occasional
groups of redbud give flashes of positive color

The Legislature has added another to its
previous refusals to disturb the present EX-
else Law. Mr.. Strahan's attempt to secure the
passage of a bill affecting only the cities of
New-York, Brooklyn and Buffalo was de-
feated yesterday in the Assembly-a result
which undoubtedly secures the continuance of
the present law for at least year to come.

The general cooperative stores In London have
proved TO be so useful and remuncrative that the
establishment of special stores on similar pTiuc-
pies is contemplated. A" Millinery and Dress" As
ISOLATION has been formed with large shop in Lon
don and branch in Paris. Ladies who belong to
1t will not only be able to get at the lowest possible
prices the very latest fashions in dress-they VIII
also have a share in the profits Of the establish
ment. The purchase of even a single share IN ine
association gives participation in the shops profits
and the privilege of dealing at it. II Is an excel
lent project and the enormous success OF the other
cooperative stores is earnest Of the future state
of this one. The profits of a popular mllllner anl
dressmaker are said to be absurdly and unreas0na-
bly large, and it will be well to teach these people
that they may some day come to be supcrilu0us The
"storesp offer to the enchanted female eye VISTA
of charming attire-f0r what surly lord and master
could refuse to his wife new gown or bonnet when
he knows that the shop will return to her a pleas
ant little dividend at the end Of the year! It's
perhaps useless to hope for the existence
of such stores in New-YOrk--fOr what an
Englishwoman would consider laudable and
righteous economy an American woman would
very foolishy call "meanness." One OF tho
great virtues of the average Briton is that no
OF she is not afraid to economic quite frankly
and openly 1t is no disgrace with them to look
after the pennies. And it does not prevent them
from doing nobly generous deeds.

The Democrats never did like the Army, unless ii
was engaged IN the conquest of more slave terri
tory. They were always nervous about some
rights" of the people which the Army threatened,
and this is why they had it safely out of the way IN
1860 They were apprehensive that it might no
used somehow to prevent the exercise of the pop
ular fright" of secession. The Solid South didn't
like during the war and they haven't liked itsnce
and it looks as if they never would like anything
which represents the organized force of the General
Government which they undertook TO overthrow.
The threat TO starve the Army comes naturally now
from the same Disguised source. Bat It Is an
empty threat. The Confederate Congress does not
dare to make the attempt Such an outrage, IN to
light of recent American history, would be alto
gether too insignificant.

The bottom reason for Mr.. Tilden's confidence
that he will be the next candidate of his party
his knowledge that the party can't get along with
out him. Every day gives cumulative proof of the
transcendent stupidity of the so-caled leaders in
Washington. The original blunder of forcing an
extra session has never been surpassed except by
the daily blunders made in conducting 1t.
No party managers who ever made any pre-
tence of possessing ordinary political sense
were ever before known to place themselves yoiun-
arily where they could neither remain nor advance
nor retreat without disgrace. Everything has
happened just as everybody expected and pre-
dicted. when the campaign began. and yet tho
Democratic majority are quite as bcwildered and
demoralized as if some sudden and overwhelming
attack had been projected upon them from an am
bush. This is the first occasion in political history
when party was so terrified that 1t didn't dare TO
call caucus What the Democratic party needs
most of all just is a leader, and Mr. Iilden u
serenely in his tent waiting to be summoned to tho
front.

stated that they did not understand tho

of representative in Congress is TO vote

which he politely gives the legislature to
understand that he can not comply with
