The NewsdeaIers, Folly.


Some Of the newsdealers in this city who
are opposed to the reduction of the price OF
the HERALD to three cents carry their fac
tious opposition SO far as to assault the
newsboys who have undertaken the sale OF
the paper. In numerous instances yester-
day the boys were roughly handled by the
Dealers and in every possible way they
were impeded and discouraged in their
work. These dealers must understand from
the outset that such conduct on their part
will not be tolerated. If protection is neces-
sary the courts are open to the boys and
will be invoked in their behalf. Besides
this, if the resistance Of the dealers becomes
serious other and adequate means of supply.
ing the paper to the public will be put In
operation. In reducing the price of the
paper the proprietor Of the HERALD con.
suited the interests Of the public rather than
the dealers, but sufficient margin of profit
was left the middlemen for the work they
performed in distributing it. With paper
of the immense circulation of the HERALD
half cent per copy is sufficient profit for
the dealers. If we can print the paper for
two and half cents to the trade there is no
reason why the middlemen should not sell
it for three cents, and we are determined
that the public shall be able to get it at that
price. If the dealers persist in their folly
other persons will take their places, and that
is all there is about it.

PARK BANK DEFALcATroN.- was as
ccrtained yesterday that the National Park
Bank had been robbed Of thirty-six thou
sand dollars by a teller who had been
eighteen years in the employ of the bank in
different capacities of trust. The crime was
committed by man whose integrity was
beyond question, and it is attributed to a
sudden impulse immediately put into execu-
ton. If this theory is correct it is extraor-
dinary. Sudden impulse to commit the
crime there certainly was, but the impulse
must have sprung from desire to be rich,
carefully nursed for years before it was put
into execution. Here was n man surrounded
by money which nobody believed ho would
ever think Of appropriating to himself lie
knew the usos of it. His salary and posi-
tion were sufficient to lead him to the thresh-
old Of luxury, but insufficient to enable
him to enjoy the pleasures allowed only to
the rich. He brooded over what he saw and
what he desired till in an unguardcd moment

Tho Return OF Tweed.

When Tweed, by some mysterious means
not yet explained, fed from the Ludlow
Street Jail, the old man believed himself
free. But from what was he freep From
comfortable room, from an easy restriction,
from the society of his friends and his fam
lily, and from the city which he loved, served,
betrayed. He escaped in the night, and
imagined that flight meant liberty. But
Tweed was not really free, for to such as he
freedom is impossible. The poorest slave in
the South before the war, who never built o
county court house or engineered o river
dock, might enjoy greater freedom than the
man who once dictated politics to the
metropolis of the American Republic.
He fled like Cain, o perpetual fugitive,
pursued by remorseless foe. The brand
of crime was on his forehead, and he
could only obtain liberty to wander over
the face of the world BY the sacrifice of his
friends, his family and his name. Instead
of Tweed he had to be Secor. This is not
freedom; to be always in disguise; to be
like the Man in the Iron Mask; to surrender
all of the past without the hope of the
future. The world is a prison, Hamlet
said, ''in which there are many confines,
wards and dungeons, Denmark being one
of the worst" So it was with William NJ
Tweed he was in prison here in New York,
in Santiago and in vigo, and conscience
and remorse were his jailers. He could not
escape from the crime he had commit
ted-"Where should Othello ro?" In
short time Tweed will be returned to
Now York. He will have had holiday of
nearly year: yet we doubt that he regrets
its termination. What pleasure can there
be in continual flight? He had better have
the moral courage to accept the inevitable.
He should surrender to New York the prop
erty of which he robbed it, and should trust
to man for pity in his old age, and to Heaven
for mercy in his repentance.
The New York herald., 1876-10-24
tho sioux Trouble.

Considerable light is thrown on the half
hearted and dishonest policy so long pur.
sued in our dealings with Indian tribes by
the interesting letter Of Colonel Poland from
Standing Rock. The story Of that agency ID
but q repetition of what occurred in all the
others-acts of dishonesty on the part Of
the whites, leading to acts of violence on the
part Of the red men. This whole system
must be changed. Its result is seen in the re-
lations existing between the government and
the Indians of tho Sioux agencies, now on
the verge of war. So dangerous is the posi-
ton of affairs that unless unusual frmness
is shown in carrying out the order of dis
armament we shall be obliged next spring TO
fight the whole Sioux nation. Red Clouds
and ponies. Rather than do SO they have
elected to abandon their agency at a time
when they will find great difficulty in sup
porting themselves by the chase. Their
action is, in fact, defiance of the national
government, and may render it necessary
for the troops to use force to com.
pei obedience. The present is a very
propitious moment. as the Indians cam
not move with their accustomed celer-.
ity, SO that the troops can make them
surrender or fight. There should be no time
lost parleying with them. Generals Terry
and Crook have ample means at their dis
posal to enable them to reduce Red Cloudi
band to submission, and they should do il
without unnecessary delay, even if it should
involve little fighting. The Custer mas-
sacre has produced on the minds of the
savages it's natural effect, and if they are
permitted to nurse their courage through
the winter we may be prepared for an In
dian war on a grand scale. From the out
break Of the Sioux war it has been suspected
that the warriors at Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail were in sympathy if not in active al-
lance with the hostile bands under Sitting
Bull, and their present attitude shows how
well founded was that suspicion. Men who
knew the frontier well advised oil along
that the proper place to strike at Sitting
Bull was through the agencies, and now
that the government has at length adopted
this same view we hope the generals COM
manding in the field will be instructed to
act with energy and decision. With the
thorough enforcement of the general dis
armament of the tribes we shall enter upon
new era in Indian affairs.
The New York herald., 1876-10-24

and our situation exempts us from
the chief source Of expenditure in ma
tons which are compelled 10 maintain great
armies against powerful neighbors on their
frontiers. Our national credit ought, there
fore, to be the best in the world, and next to
that of Great Britain it is the best As Mr..
Belmont Justly said in his letter, "The
bonds of the United States are in London
next to those of Great Britain herself, be-
cause every intelligent man. in Europe
knows that our country is rich and that the
people will keep their promises.
The result of the Presidential election will
have no effect on our national credit. There
is not the slightest reason to believe that a
democratic administration would repudiate
the national obligations. The democratic
House, which evinced so much zeal for
retrenchment at the late session, did
not. show the slightest disposition to
withhold appropriations for paying the in
terest on the public debt. Since the passage
of the act of 1869 declaring Chat the public
debt is payable in coin no prominent
democrat has disputed that obligation. The
new bonds about which this late contro-
versy has arisen are expressly made payable
in coin. Nothing is left to inference, as in
the case of the five-twenty bonds. spe-
cific stipulation to pay the new four and
half per cent bonds in coin will not be dis
regarded by any political party. 1t is alb
surd to think that a political party whose
leaders are men like Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Bel
mont Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, Mr..
Thurman, and Mr.. Bayard, would repudiate
an explicit and unequivocal contract of the
government. The public credit will be MS
safe in the hands of one party as the other
and it is unpatriotic for either party to pre-
tend the contrary.
