20 win that respectable republican element
which breads Grantism, the ablest and most
earnest friend of Tilden in the press must
pronounce against all civil service reform
This came, too at the time when Hayes had
electrified the country by his letter in favor
Of that reform. The effect of this was to
throw the whole conservative element of the
republican party at once into the Hayes
ranks. Civil service reform, like. the one
term, is cardinal point in the canvass 1t
is a reform dear to the best sentiment of the
country--to all thoughtful, honest men, who
see in the maxim that to the victor belongs
the spoils one of the evils of our government.
While these things are disheartening to
good democrats they are by no means fatal
to the Tilden canvass. But unless they are
checked, unless the Governor takes COM
mand of his armies in person, unless he or
rests this process of decentralization, his
canvass will fall into cureless ruin. The
Governor has now to show the possession Of
those heroic qualities which are the admira-
which Mr.. Goodwin informs us he will in
three months reform the finances of the
whole country Let him say to Mr.. Hen
bricks that he must either go off the ticket
or run for the Vice Presidency. Let him say
to the rag money mutineers in Indiana and
elsewhere that unless they mean to keep
discipline they will be drummed out of the
army. Let him say to Sitting Bull Butler
and the Hamburg Sioux that he will hang
negro killers as promptly as he hanged
Dolan. Let him then write a manly, ringing
letter. arraigning the administration for its
crimes and the republican party for its fail
ures, promising civil service reform in its
highest sense, declaring that he will only
hold Office for one term, and will favor an
amendment to the constitution limiting the
Presidency to one term, promising protec-
ton to white and black men in the South,
insisting upon the fullest security for the
public credit. Let there be no equivoca-
ton, no avoiding delicate issues, no misty,
vague phrases, that mean all things to all
men. Then, with the platform thus made
clear, with the ticket harmonized and
strengthened, with good State ticket in
New York-like Marble for Governor and
Dorsheimer for Lieutenant Governor-the
canvass may begin with renewed hope. The
way to do this is for the Governor to take COM
mand and see that throughout the party but
one will is known-the will of the chosen
chief He cannot lose an hour in doing this.
We repeat that with another month of such
management in the democratic party as we
have had since the adjournment Of the Con-
vention the canvass of Tilden will be over
whelmed with tempest of ridicule as dis
astrous as that which destroyed the canvass
of Greeley and Brown.

A Plea for n Scout.

The war with the Sioux revives species
of adventure and escape-as in the case of
General Custer and his mems dashing bra
very and death-of which we have had few
instances since the early New England mas
sacres and the French and Indian wars
History is enriched with new instances of
undaunted heroism in this the latest, and
probably the last of the great Indian wars,
and among these no adventure is so remark
able as Lieutenant Sibleys escape from
the savages, of which we have already
printed graphic narrative, and to which
we now add the story of Mr. j. f.
Finerty, of the Chicago Times, who was
one of the party Almost every sentence
of Mr.. Finerty's narrative recounts
miracle. A race of forty-fve miles through
the Big Horn Mountains, on foot and with
out food, after battle which lasted several
hours, is feat which few men have been
able to perform, and in this instance it is
likely the attempt would have proved futile
but for the skill and foresight of one of the
scouts, Frank Grouard. To this man Lieu
tenant Sibley and his party owe their lives
ana the country u ueDt VI SIhtltuue III is not
easy to repay. On other occasions we have
heard of Grouard performing acts of valor
and skill deserving the highest recognition,
but his conduct in this adventure surpasses
oil his previous achievements In brilliant
foresight, determined courage and able gen.
eralship it is unequalled in the history of
Indian warfare. The escape from the battle
field to the hills was in itself piece of won
derful strategy, and for the rest of the jour
ney Xenophon showed no calmer courage or
greater foresight in the conduct of the re-
treat of the Ten Thousand than was dis
played by this scout in leading his compan-
ions back to camp. Danger lurked every
where, and it had to be provided against as
if there was an Indian behind every tree and
o band of warriors in every ravine In all
this Grouard succeeded. Such abilities as
his ought to be rewarded, and we trust this
achievement will bring him the recognition
| and reward he so eminently merits.

THE GARBAGE WAR took no new phase
yesterday. The men who were arrested by
the Shore Inspector were admitted to bail,
and no fresh offence was committed or at
tempted by the scows of the Street Cleaning
Bureau. We trust there will be no dump
ing in the Bay until the whole question is
legally and equitably adjusted, and the
spectacle of the police of the two
cities in armed and hostile array
must not be presented again. Up
to the time of the garbage war the people of
this city were in almost blissful ignorance
of the fact that Messrs. Wheeler and Nichols
are Commissioners of Police but these gen.
tlemen would earn better and more honest
fame if they set Superintendent Walling and
his men to catching thieves and other offen-
ders instead of carrying them out of the
county to do battle with an official in the
possible performance of his duty.

THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT has accepted
the friendly Offices of Austria in rescuing
the garrison and war material at Kick, which
are now cut off from the Turkish army in
Bosnia by the Montenegrin forces. The pol
icy of Austria is evidently opposed to afford
ing the Montenegrins any opportunity of
reaping a substantial victory and capturing
warlike stores from the Turks, because such
> success would probably induce the victors
10 aspire to an annexation of Herzegovinan
territory and thus create the nucleus OF .
future Slavonic State south of the military
frontier"

The President and tho Whiskey
Frauds.


The HERALD has always contended that
the attempt to connect the President with
the frauds upon whiskey would react upon
those who inspired it. The Presidents
record, as it comes to light point by point,
shows that he was as earnest in his desires
to have the frauds prevented and the per-
petrators punished as Bristow. Common
sense would have proved this; for if the
President had wished to protect the thieves
he could have done so. The evidence of
Bluford Wilson is an exoneration of the
President. The country should rejoice at
this. The fame of the President should
always be dear to the people, more especially
when the President is a man like Grant, one
of the most conspicuous figures in our his
tory whose name will be among the glories
of our country when Tilden and Hendricks,
Hayes and Wheeler, Bristow, Jewell, Blu
ford Wilson and all the rest ere forgotten.
No one has censured more severely than the
HERALD the blunders of the administration
No one regrets more than the HERALD that
the administration should have failed to
meet the wishes of its friends. But we
should deem it q calamity, which every true
American would feel, if the victor of Apo
mattox should prove to be venal, corrupt
man. We have no such fear, and the vindi-
cation of Wilson's evidence is precisely what
we expected from Wilson when he was put
under the solemnity of an oath.

A Canadian View OF Extradition.

The authorities in Canada do not like the
abolition of the Extradition Treaty. Lord
Dufferin, Governor General of Canada, has
proposed to our government that, pending
the new treaty, the United States and his
government will exchange criminals. We
presume this suggestion comes with the as
sent of the Queen. 1t may be that Lord
Derby referred to this the other day when
he said it was proposed to make provis-
ional arrangement with the United States
until a new treaty could be signed. The
President could not assent; he had referred
the whole matter to Congress, and, more
over, having a question with the mother
country, he could not very well enter into
negotiations with a colony. The practical
point is that the abrogation of this treaty
is felt in Canada more than elsewhere.
Canada now becomes not merely the asylum
for the Tweeds and Sweenys, but for crimi-
nails Of higher grade. No Governor Gen
eral can look on such q condition of affairs
without alarm. The connection between
Canada and the United States is too close
for Canadian affairs to be managed by the
imperial government Extraditions, tariffs,
reciprocity-all these questions belong to
the home government, and not to England.
The time must come when the relations be-
tween the United States and Canada will be
upon different footing than those between
our country and England. This extradition
question shows the Importance of having
these relations adjusted as soon as possible.

The Reported Disaster 20 Crooks Com.
mnnd.


We think we may we'll doubt the story Of
disaster to Crooks command which comes
to us this morning by roundabout ways and
from uncertain sources. At the same time
it may be true. Ever since the defeat
Of Custer and the annihilation of his COM
mand there have been forebodings of disaster
to Crook. The Indians were known to be
swar1ning in great numbers in the neighbor-
hood of his camp. They were elated with
victory and confident in their strength.
The fact that there was little or no demon
stration against Crook was in itself ominous.
1t was believed, besides, that Crooks COM
mand was too small to cope successfully
with the Sioux by whom he was surrounded,
and fears were entertained that the meagre
reinforcements which have been sent to him
yet known whether Merritt, with the Fifth
cavalry. has been able to join him. This,
it must be confessed, is dark outlook, and
against the probabilities which can be based
upon it there is only the doubt which be-
longs to story coming as this one
comes. Lame Deer may prove myth. His
story is in itself too circumstantal to be
trustworthy, when it is considered how
short was the time after the battle which he
allowed himself to get to the point where
Mr. Fray heard his tale, and from
whence it was brought to Sidney. We
are told SO much about the disaster
and its consequences that it is not
easy to believe there was a disaster at all.
At the same time the story proves the neces-
sity of strengthening Crook as speedily as
possible. What we doubt to-day may be
true tomorrow. We must not only guard
against disaster by making it impossible, but
do it SO speedily that none of the conse-
quences mentioned in Lame Deers tale may
accrue. We should not wait for Crook to
ask for further reinforcements, but, know
ing as we do that he needs them, send them
to him without any further delay.

THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN seldom performs
an act which does not require an opinion
from the legal adviser of the Corporation. Mr.
James J. Slevin was yesterday elected to fill
the vacancy in the Board occasioned by the
death of Patrick Lysaght, and now an opinion
seems necessary to establish the legality of
the election. The City Fathers would do
themselves honor if they first ascertained the
legality of any proposed action.

The TURKISH RUMoRs this morning are
ominous According to one Of these Abdul
Ahmet is regent of the Empire, and another
story reports the Sultan as dangerously ill.
This intelligence seems to indicate fate for
the present Sultan not unlike that which

who is his junior by two years lacking a day,
will be permitted to reign in his stead is q
problem.

The Wrong Kind OF Economy.

Much of the economy which has charac-
terized the House of Representatives is
detrimental rather than beneficial to the
country. The refusal of a sufficient appro-
priation to the Weather Bureau is an
instance of this unwise economy. Not only
has the force been cut down, but the number
of stations is to be diminished Even points
rs important as Newport and New Haven
are to be deprived of an observing station,
and the publication of the weather maps
is to be discontinued. These maps are
invaluable to commerce, and their dis
continuance will be public calamity.
Instead of diminishing the service
of the bureau it ought to be in
creased, and Congress is only penny
wise in the adoption of this niggardly plan
of economy. So far the Weather Bureau has
proved of great Importance, and the value Of
is services to the people and to trade has
been moro generally recognized and has been
more thorough and complete than in any
other country. "Old Probabilities has not
only proved himself an acceptable weather
prophet, but his services and scientific
standing have reflected great credit on the
country We regret to see the bureau ham,
pered by insufficient appropriations, and we
trust before it adjourns Congress will recog-
nize the necessity of affording it sufficient
resources to make it effective.
