Tk leading plank of ths democra- tlo platform at present seems to be “Policy.” Policy is good in its place, but actions and earnestness speak louder than worde.

IOWA REPUSLICANS. The Iowa republican convention meets next month at Des Moines. It is Intimated in some quarters that the meeting will be an occasion of more than ordinary excitement and that the party will take advantage of the op- portunity to rebuke emphatically the members of the supreme ocourt who dared to deny the constitutionality of the prohibitory amendment. If the Jowa republican convention denires to disrupt the party organiza- tion they can adopt no surer means than the persecution of the judges on the supremo bench who dared to do thelr sworn duty against their private inclinations. It Is a well known fact that four of the members of the court were prohibitlonists on principle, Thelr declelon was ren- dered In accordance with thelr oath to protect the constitution, and not in consistence with thelr personal prefer. ences, The function of the supreme bench is to bring all laws to the test of the censtitutlon, not to the stand- ard of popular clamor. All that the Iowa judges, following the plain mandates of that Instrament, have done, s to declaro that the leg- {slature did not obserye the form laid down for amending the constitation, and to deny that & majorlty vote may do away with constitutions altogether, And yet, agitators who are incensed at a fallure which is due to no cause on earth but to their own carelessness, radical prohibitionists, who care for no restralnts of law or govertments when they are balked in the Immed- iate accomplishment of thelr own de- sigos, and oven & part of the public prees, are loud in thelr denunclation of judges who did not choose to vlo- late thelr oaths for the satisfaction of pepular clamor, Towa republicans will make a very serlous mistake {f thoy yleld for a moment to the cry which demands the deposition of an honest judiciary. Buch a coucessfon will drive thous- ands of honest and honorable voters trom tho eanks of the party. No or- gan!zation which makes ene of its car- dinal prinelples the doctrine that the minority have no rights which the majority are bound to respect can long remaln in power, THE DEARTH OF MINISTERS. Uomplaint Is made by the Presby- terian general assembly of the dearth of minlsters. Over 500 socletios have no pastors and there are no minlsters for them, The number of students entering the ministry s sald to be yearly growlng smaller, while the demand s greater than the supply. There are several reasons for this condition f affairs. In the firet place, as pointed ont by Presldent Eliot, of Harvard, talented and ambitlous young men are shunninz the minlstry because they ro- fuse to put thelr minds In the Irons of an intellectual bondage The lalty are in advance of the minie- try. The pen s becomling better ed- ucated and more liberal than the pul- pit. Butween the pressure of church sourctls on the one hand and the force of liboral advance on the other, the minister, {f his mind ia at all rensi- tive to the Inflaence of modern criti- clsm and calture, Is certaln to be placed in & mos. uncomfortable posi tlon. To remaln In the charch s ofien to belle his own convictions, To leave it is to find himself pursued by eccleslastical hatred, The smallness of the salaries paid to ministers by their congregations is not, as Dr, Herreck Johnson seems to think, the chief cause c¢f the falllng off In candidates for ordination. Abllity s recognized nowhere so quickly as {o the modern pulplt, and mediocrity nowhere so generously tolerated. The salarles pald to clergymen gonerally are fully equal to what the same calibre of men could earn In other callings, In our large clities elcquence and ploty aro liberally rewarded by haadsome stipends, ad miring congregations and long and frequent vacatlons, We should be sorry to think, as Dz, Johnson scems to lnfer, that the chlef motive In entering the profea- sion which he follows la the eordid one of pecanlary reward, Ii 1t wers gonerally understood that men feel “called” to tho minlsiry simply with an oyo to the salary which they aro likely to command, tho professlon would rapidly lose much of its infla- ence on tho masses. We do not be. lieve that to ba the case. The use- falnesa of the mintstry {s belng con- tracted by the narrow-mindedaess of church organizations and the cramp- ing restrictions of church creeds. Other fields !le open to the talented and the ambltious, where there is equal space for moral and more room for intellectual development. This is tho one great reason why tho ministry 1s calling aloud to our colleges for more candidates of talent and calture, and the reply is only the echo of the ory, Groree B, McCLeLLuN has boen In- terviewed oa politics, aud is etill for ‘‘a change of base.” Ho believes that absolute froo trade is impossiblo, and thinks the democratic party should come out for a tariff f>r revenuo only, Ho spoke warmly of Hareook, and thought he might be agaiz nominated by the democracy.

That dogma, o earnestly combatted by the friends of liberty every- where, and nowheie more #o than by the devou! of car American Catholic bish ops, must ere long be qnictly ehelved, In matters of religion Catholies will still look to the church, For their pelitics they will refuse to consalt foreign su‘hor- itier, whether they are located in West- minister or at tue Vatican, Several more arrests have taken plaee in Ireland, but no events of startling mo- ment have transpired since the last re- view.

Interest abroad during the last week has centered on tirce events of import. snce: the Papal circular, the coronation at Moscow, and the hoatile invasion of Madagascar by a Freach army, The first of these as nltimately connected with & great religious organization whoee spiri. tual inflaence is only bounded by the boundaries of the globe, is of more than passing importance, It is more than pro- bable that Pope Leo XIIT has uncon- sclously done more to destroy the last lingering vestiges of faith in Rowme's tem- poral power than all the continental con- troversies of the past twelve years, The Papal letter has fallen like a firebrand in Oatholic Ireland and Protestant Americs, and the result is a storm of indignation at what is called “the unwarrantable ip- terference of the Vaticsn” which bas broken omt in violent denunciation on the part of Irlsh agitators and sullen refusals of submiesion from » peasantry who re- gord the result. s a triumph of English diplomscy at.

The out- burst is chiefly remarkable as an evidence | iy of the growth bl mllw!flll' at sentenced to & punishment worse than death in the penal convict cells of Grant Britain, Notone wae scquitted, *‘Ths Bloody Assizes” will be long remembered. Ona lesson has besn taugkt which should strile deep in the Irish hesrt. That is, the avoidan e of unworthy means in pur- suing & worthy cause; the dishonor and the deanger of staining with eecret crime the cfforts for a suffering country, Parlisment has resumed its sessions, but the government delays in fathering Mr., Dobson’s Enelish land bill, which Mr, Gladstone has intimated he would make the test of the government's stability, At the same time there are no indications as yet that the micistry propose to intro. duce the sweeping mensuce demanded by the Eaglish radicals and the Scotoh Far mers’ Alliance. Having tided the storm of the Bradlaugh defeat, the premier seems disposed to gather strength by a short period of 1naction. An interesting soens took place in parlisment on Thurs. doy, when the government was questioned concerning tho alleged intriguss of Mr, Tirrington, tho Eoglish smbassador at the Vatican, whose visit to Lome, it fs charged, resulted in the papal circular, The snswers of the premier ara considered a8 evsuive, and despen the impression that Downing strest wan advised in advance of the forthooming letter of the Vatican, France is allfor war, A French army of conquest has landed st Madagascar, seized the custom house ard raised the standard of the republic. This is & wan- ton aot of greed against a peaceful and de- fenseless power which is intended to neu- tralizs the Brit b iufluence in Ezynt and add new possessions to the list of Irench colonies, The Malagzassy embassadsra who are still in England enter their protest and call for foreign interferencs, They an- nounce that the natives will fight to the death, Armsand ammuoi i are being forwarded trom Fogland There is, how- ever, no probability that the be'pless na- tives of semi-Christianized Madagascar will receive outside assissance, Ths only European nation that mey be supposed to havo any interest in the serzore of Mada- gasear by the French is Lug aud, and the hands of the ministry sro tied by the 1teady volicy of territorial aggrandizement which Great Britain has pursaed for a cen- tury past. The latest news from the reat of war in eastern Asia shows than the Frouch expedition against T nquin has been laid out upon a lurger scale that was at firet euppoeet, and that the probability of resistancs by Chin» is very certain, It assorts that on the 25th of March the citadel of Hanol was attacked b 4,000 Aunamites or Chinese, who pulsed and the next day were dri wiles and dispersed, From that time un. til the 7th of May all was quiet, but on that date 2,000 more Chirese soldiers sail. ed from Pekin towards Tonquin, and tho admiral of the French flset was instracted to prevent them frow landing, There are at preseat, it is said, thirty-thres compn- nies of French marines in” Cochin Chins and Tonquin, but the reinforcoments are not to go forward until the government should vote the appropriation for the ex- edition, As this has been done it is like- y we aball hear of warm work from that quarter before long, for even if the king of' ‘l'onquin should accede to the Faench de- mands it is not likely that China will con. sent to this summary appropriation of & vassal atate without s struggle, Moacow is thronged with visitors and all the de:ails have been perfected fur the cor- onation of the casr, according to the elabo- rate programmo already noted, The sig- nificance of theé ceremony is not utnordf appreciated. The czar, while uncrown haa very little power as & monarch, being, #0 to say, & minor holding the reins, ate more by courtesy than by right, not proclaim war or conglude a tr peace, nor can he enter theimperial rool o grand cordon of any of the decorations.

A great battle took place April 37th, Barzalene slaught- ered the government troops until they wers forced to fly a flag of truce ssking the sus- pansion of hostilities to bury \il! dead. ‘Two government vessels came in shore to render assistance, but Barzalens covered them with his guns and sunk them, The schooner immediately after landed the arms and amwunition for the rebels, From latest reports from Inagua it appears that Barzaleno was marching on Fort a1 Prince, :‘m! a rising is reported near Care Hay. en, A London dispateh announces that the governor geueralship of Canada, in succes. alon to the uis of Lorne, has been offered to the uis of Lansdowne, who will probably sail for Cavada in October, The Marquis of Lansdowne is now in his 38th year, and has been in public life about ten yeare. He was appointed under secretary for India when Mr, Gladstone became premier in 1850, but resigned be. cause he objected to certain provisions of the Irish tenants' compensation bill,which afterwards rejectad by the house of Since then ke has not ieen much in accord with his party, and his appointe ment to the governor generalship of Cav. ada looks as an excuse for gettivg rid of bim. He is rather a dull man, yet far .lwth“'b his 5!.1- l{: is of the besutiful daughters of the Dake of Abercora, the theis tory lord lleutenant of Ireland, snd the heir to title, & so, is now 11 f age. ‘The maiquis is perhaps best {novn n Irish landlord, He owns #ive tracts in the counties of Cork and erry, and has been charged with unusual barshness, even for an Irish landlord, to his tensnts. He inherita a bad reputa. tion, too. So many of the pauperized tenants wers forced to emigrate frora his estates in 1847 and 1818 and died in the work houses in New York and Montreal that some of the wards in these establish- ments are yet known as the Lansdowne waras, The varions governments of Barope are drilling their armies for active rervice by sham rights sad mllllnr{l manenve rreat extent, The Eoglish troops fine display st Brighton not long awo; a part of the German army, about 60,000 men, is to execute series of complicated maneuvers along the river Main before long; the French army, during the months of August and September, is to occupy the eountry between Chalons and Chartres for a series of military ooera- tions and maneuvers, and the Italian troops and fleet are being concentrated in the south for practice in combined man- euvers, Kach sovereign is to su; erintend personaily the maneuvers of his armv, with many invited guests, ything i being done to insure the su f esch sham campaign, Beugal is going through one'of those sweeping changes in the ownership and coutrol of land which seem periodically necossary wherever population increases withous an incresse in the subdivition of agricultural ho'dings, Ninety yesrs ago, Lord Cornwallis practically created pri- vate owner-hip o land in Bengal by a scttlement of the rent to be demanded by the state, in allotiental countries the tinal propristor, Under this system, the culti- yator hus been ground to the earth by his landlord, who paid the government tax- rent promptly and squeezed the last penny from theryot. The Anglo-Indian govern- ment now ateps in with a law giving the tenant an absolute right of occapancy aftor twelye yesrs' cultivation, and pro- hibiting the tenant contracting himself out of this right. This is practical confisca. tion of an admitted property right, just as the Irish land act was, but itis a step along a path which every government seems forced to travel or face revolution. The influence of Christianity upon mor- als in England has been investigated by a Japanese commission, which has made its report recently to the effect that Christian- ity has lees restraint over orime, and especially drunkenness, than Buddhism or the religion of Shiato; 8o the religion of Japan will remain unchanged.

When the Arch- bishop was in Rome the pope, in ad- dressing him, said: “I am as good an Irlshman as you are. The arch. bishop expressed his intention of obeying the pope’s command. Archbishop Czoke, replylng to the address at Wicklow depot, sald it was the pope's great love for the Irish people that caused him to be so solie: itous for their weifare. He was con- fident that when the pope understood the situation better the efforts of the priesthood and himself for the Irlsh would be crowned with sucoess.
