New York rapid transit, enable an indus
trious poor to reach the northern extremity
of the city cheaply and rapidly, and we shall
save thousands Of lives and millions of
dollars every year. 1t is in the interest of
the laboring poor that the HERALD has SO
long and so constantly demanded rapid
transit Once more somebody stops the way.
street railroad company this time forbids
the poor of New York to have cheap and
npid access to the upper part Of the
city. Let it be plainly understood
what delay in this matter means. 1t
means the sacrifice of over eight
thousand lives in every year. 1t means the
needless loss of over six million dollars
by the industrious poor of New. York every
year from their wages. 1t means demorali-
zation, sorrow and suffering to large part
of our population. Who bars the way to
rapid transit?

The Ertradit.on OF sitting Ball.

1t is reported from Washington that il
Sitting Bull and his redoubtable warriors
shall take refuge from the pursuit OF our
troops by crossing the frontier into the
British Possessions our government Will
demand their surrender from the British
government, that they may be punished for
their crimes. This is, apparently, the comic
aspect of our relations with the Sioux and
with England. 1t is true that the pursuit OF
our troops has not yet pressed the Sioux SO
sorely that they are in great need of
refuge. Indeed if there were not such
painful incidents in the case the country
would already be comparing the pursuit OF
the Sioux by the troops to that famous pur-
suit of wolf by trusty hound, in which,
when last seen, the hound was little ahead.
With the whole of the country open and
no other obstacle to their movements than
the army under Crook we do not see why the
hostile Indians need trouble themselves to
winter in SO cold a country as Canada.
That they may do so, however, seems to be
deemed possible by persons who should be
regarded as experts in knowledge OF the
habits of the Indians, and we would not OPP
pose our opinion to their judgment Should
the Indians do this thing and should our
government demand their surrender from
England the world will be treated to tho
monumental spectacle of the age in interna-
tional relations If Secretary Fish is ever to
be put beside Mr.. Seward in bronze because
he has been Governor and Secretary of State,
and if the artist who is to do him is still in
the flesh, that artist should endeavor to
catch the expression of the great Secretary
when he directs his subordinates to make
the requisition on the British government
for four thousand Sioux, ''be the same more
or less" It is not statuesque countenance
in it's ordinary moods, but glorified by the
sublime faith in red tape that this de-
mand will imply. One cannot say to what
heights of splendor it may rise. How will
England respond to this demand? Will
she surrender the Sioux Perhaps not
But she may balance the account by calling
our attention to the Treaty of Washington
and requiring us to prevent the invasion OF
her soil by hostile expeditions prepared on
our soil or to pay the penalty in cash.

What Is the Matter in Philadelphia,

Philadelphia is so large a city that il
ought to be able to accommodate even the
crowds which flock to the Exhibition with
out danger of suffering either from impure
water or imperfect drainage. Yet it is noto-
rious that scarcely one in ten of those who
visit the Exhibition, even if he remains but
a few days, escapes severe attack of diar-
rhna or dysentery, and we hear of many
cases of typhus and typhoid fever. The
evil has increased of late and has become SO
serious that it is not advisable for persons in
feeble health or those of constitution easily
attacked by such diseases to visit the Exhi-
bition until after severe frost.
The physicians of Philadelphia and its
Board of Health ought to look into this
matter. The water supply of the city
has usually been good; it is certainly Of
poor quality this year. The long, dry
summer may have affected it, as it has
that of other cities. Whatever may be the
cause it is certain that strangers now going
to the Exhibition subject themselves to at
tachs of disease, which are in not few cases
severe and dangerous. We advise visitors
to drink but little water, and to use all the
precautions which suggest themselves un-
der such circumstances. The inconvenience
and danger are real and too serious to be-
trified with.

Dorsheimer did not desert the republicans
until the Greeley campaign Robinson went
back to his old democratic associations i'm
mediately after the close of the war. His
connection with the republican party was as
transient as that of. Andrew Johnson, be-
ginning with the war and ending
with it. He stands in very di.-
ferent category from Dorsheimer who
went headlong into the republican party
with his father, Philip Dorsheimer, at the
beginning of the Fremont campaign, re-
manned in it until Sumner and Schurz re-
belled against President Grant, and during
that long period never professed to be o war
democrat, but q republican pure and
simple Under the new stress of circum-
stances which has arisen since the Maine
election the regular democracy of the State
will make no difficulty in accepting Robin
son.
1t may be asked what is gained by taking
such candidate if John Kelly was correct
in his speech at Saratoga two weeks ago,
when he maintained that the liberal repub-
licans had gone back to their old party, and
that nothing could be gained in catering to
their sentiments. The answer is that Mr..
Kelly in that intemperate speech ignored
the German vote. Our German population,
both here and elsewhere, have evinced
strong disposition to support Mr.. Tilden.
They are numerous enough in New
York, and perhaps also in Ohio and
Indiana to turn the scale against
the republicans. Except on tho old
war issues their sympathies are naturally
democratic, especially on the liquor ques-
ton, the free trade question and the money
question, so far as they can be persuaded to
regard Tilden, and not Hendricks, as repre-
senting the democratic party. The Germans
might revolt against an old copperhead
Bourbon; but against candidate like Mr.
Robinson, who was strenuous supporter
of the war, they will have nothing to say
The last hope of the democratic party hangs
on the possibility of controlling the German
vote, and it was therefore expedient to nom-
mate q candidate for Governor whose war
record is unassailable.
The nomination of Robinson is victory
for Governor Tilden. He was the choice Of
the Governor and is democrat of the pro-
nounced Tilden type 1t would have been
bad party strategy to discredit or humiliate
the Presidential candidate. To have nomi-
mated an anti-Tilden democrat would have
seemed like q Reputation of the reform
issue and fouting of the pretensions of
Mr.. Tilden as o reform candidate. This
would have been an infinitely greater mis-
take than the preponderance which has been
given to the liberal republicans in the COM
position of the ticket We incline to think
that the Convention has done the best thing
possible under the circumstances, and that
it is fortunate for the party that its leaders
were scared by the Maine election into a
surrender TO Goyernor Tilden

NIr. Cushing on Tweed.

If confirmation of the arrest Of Tweed were
needed the statement of Mr.. Gushing, United
States Minister to Spain, which we publish
this morning, would supply it. In an inter-
view which our correspondent had with Mr..
Gushing at his home in Newburyport, Mass,
yesterday, he said that cit is an absolute fact
that Tweed is in custody precisely as was
stated in the HERALD's cable dispatches ="
The American government was not in any
way surprised at the arrest, and although Mr..
Gushing is reticent in respect to himself it
is clear that to his forethought and energy
the apprehension of Tweed is in large
measure DUE Doubted at first, it Is now
believed, that Tweed has been captured; yet
many people cannot credit that he will ever
be delivered in New York. Mr.. Gushing
gives ample assurance that this part of the
plan has been attended to, and says that it
would have been child's play to have
arrested Tweed unless arrangements for
bringing him here had been fully and def
nitely made. He seems to think Tweed al
most as foolish as knavish in not seeking to
obtain q compromise of some kind by restor-
ing the city the bulk of his plunder. We
showed long ago that the great municipal
robber could not expect any mercy so long
as he clung to his ill-gotten gains; but per-
haps it is better as it is. New York can
easier afford to lose six millions than to lose
the opportunity of making an example of
the man who took them. The effect of the
arrest Of Tweed upon the Presidential cam
paign Mr.. Gushing does not consider of much
importance. 1t would help Tilden, he says,
if Tilden could have the criminal promptly
punished, but adds that Tweed can hardly
arrive here in time for Mr. Tilden to act be-
fore the election. It would, therefore, appear
polite in the administration, which supports
Mr. Hayes, to delay the return of Tweed.
and in that way deprive Mr.. Tilden of q
much-coveted opportunity. But it is hardly
likely that the American government would
thus trife with justice for the benefit of party.
Tweed ought to be in Havana about the first
week of October, and as all the arrangements
are completed for restoring him to America,
he should be in New York before the middle
of next month.

BULGARIAN HoBRoRs. is rather late
for the Turkish government to attempt
to show ''its adherence of the unauthorized
and deplorable acts in Bulgaria" The ar
rests of Turkish officers charged with order
ing the massacres are contrasted with the
promotions Of several of the generals who are
implicated by the testimony. 1t is by no
means certain that the Porte will perform
what it promises, but it is evident that both
the Porte and the Disraeli Ministry are
alarmed by the indignation Of the English
people, and, indeed, Of oil civilized coun-
tries.

SALISBURY BEACH, Mass, was yesterday
the scene of an annual gathering commem-
Grating no particular event, but obeying an
ancient custom. The address of General
Cushing had for its subject the alleged de-
eeneracy of the American people-a fallacy
which he ably exposed. We are not quite
sure that our government is not more cor
rupt than it was fifty years ago, but if the
nation is not better and wiser then ''prog-
ress" is an idle word.

The international Rine Match.

The first day Of the International Rife
Match passed off successfully particularly
for the Scotch. Creedmoor was thronged,
upward of five thousand persons being in
attendance, and the excitement was intense,
at times mounting to enthusiasm. The ar
rangements were generally excellent, the
only improvement that might be suggested
being the appointment of an earlier hour
for the beginning of the trial; but
when the distance of Creedmoor from
New York and the difficulty of reaching it
are considered perhaps this would not be
practicable. The plans for the protection
of the markers from stray balls and of the
were better than at any other match, and
complete order was maintained.
On another page we present diagrams of
the one hundred and twenty targets That
were made by the contestants. The diff
Guilty of obtaining an exact transcript of
the fifteen shots on each target is apparent,
but we believe that there is not single error
of importance in placing any of the eighteen
hundred shots that were fired during the
day. These diagrams are made by the
closest measurement and represent the re-
suit of each marksman's aim with surprising
accuracy 1t will be seen by reference to
them, as we'll as to the numerical scores.
that the shooting was of o very high order
The averages were good for the leading
teams, and some extraordinary displays we're
made by individuals, particularly by Messrs.
johnson and Mlllner, of the Irish team Mr..
johnson hit the bulrs-eye at eight hundred
yards fifteen times, making seventy-five
points-a feat accomplished but once before.
Mr. Millner did almost equally well in
hitting the bulls-eye thirteen times at a
thousand yards but DR.. Mitchell, of the
Scotch team, bettered this by making the
surprising score of fourteen bull's-eyes at
the same range. The fortunes Of the day
were varying. The Americans led by fifteen
points over the next highest team at the
eight hundred yards range, but lost part of
their advantage at nine hundred yards,
and at thousand yards were passed by both
the Scotch and Irish. When the day ended
the Scotch were four points ahead of the
Irish and the Irish five points ahead of the
Americans. The Australians were thirty
two points behind the Americans and the
Canadians were almost one hundred points
behind the Scotch. The battle of the first
three teams could hardly be closer,
and will add much to the excitement to-day.
The Americans had the misfortune to
make important errors. Mr.. Fulton missed
his target once, and General Podine made n
bull's-eye on the wrong target 1t would be
impossible to predict which of the three
leading teams will win to-day, but our only
wish is that it will be that with ''the best
men"

Projects OF Peace in Europe.

1t may be safely said that the tory
press in England is very badly inspired,
and of this the assault of the London
Standard on Russia's relations to Servia
is fragrant and offensive instance. Appar-
emily it is not deemed sufficient that the
English Ministry should blunder as they
have done in committing Christian nation
to the support of fanatical butchery of
many thousands of Christian people, but
a superserviceable organ is ready to do what
it may to add to the opprobrium the Minis
try must endure for its great error. The
London Standard sneeringly inquiries when
Russia will throw off the disguise and
openly wage the war on Turkey that she
now secretly supports. There cannot be
many Englishmen who believe that the
Turks would ever have got where they are
if the war had been really with Russia.
Otherwise they must have q poor
opinion of those forces, English
and French, that required year
to capture single Russian city. If the
combined English and French forces cap
tured one Russian city in year, and yet the
city to city week after week, the Turks must
evidently be better soldiers than the Eng
lish. This would be the result of the Stand
ards theory that the Turks have really been
fighting Russia. That theory, therefore,
will not stand examination. 1t is invented
in the desperate hope to save the Ministry.
The natural humanity of the nation revolts
against the relations of the government with
the Turks, and the government endeavors
to cover its retreat by raising the cry that it
was not fighting Servia, but Russia not
helping the infdel Turk, but only encour-
aging him to destroy the rival and enemy of
England; that the people butchered were
not so much Christians as the friends of
the subjects of the Gar If this defence
should provoke any comparisons between
the relations of England and Russia re-
spectively to this war they must
be altogether to the honor of Rus
sin if made by reasonably impartial
persons, since at most she has encouraged
Christian people in the defence of their
country from an invasion the like Of which
for barbarity has not been seen in Europe
for centuries, while England has given coun-
tenancc and support TO that invasion. The
singular report that Turkey still refuses to
grant an armistice, but will consent to a
suspension of hostilities to settle prelimina-
ries of peace, is, perhaps, due to confusion
in telcgraphing. In diplomatic language
there has not been any other distinction be-
tween an armistice and a suspension of hos
tilities than that the latter was truce COM
monty made by the commanders of armies
and for short time while an armstice was
q truce determined between governments.
AS the despatch contemplates the govern
ment as making this distinction between its
own possible acts it is contradictory. There
is some apprehension that the demands of
Turkey and the views of Russia will be
found irreconcilable and that peace will
not result from the present parleys, in which
case Russia will certainly take active steps
for the defence of Servia

GENERAL BUrIERs NOMINATION. oN.-General
Buffers speech accepting the nomination for
Congress in the Lowell district Is as serious
as his speech requesting it was lively. 1t is
nreview of the course of the democratic party
in this canvass OF the war, and defence ofthe
order of the government respecting the en-
ployment of the United States Army in the
South. 1t raises the 'bloody shirt as
standard, and that is n garment to which
General Butler has almost as great right
rs even Senator Morton. He will doubtless
go to Congress, and, politics aside few
people will regret to see him once more in
the House, for he certainly makes the de-
bates more entertaining. He was missed by
the republicans last session, and General
Cushing is one of the many public men
who look forward to his return with pleasure.
The WEATHER.-To-day the hopes of the
rihemcn, apart from their desire to win the
victory, will centre in fair day for the
closing Of the Centennial match. The veer-
ing of the wind yesterday from the north
west to the eastward was caused by the
rometer which is now passing along
The st. Lawrence Valley and the ad-
vance of depression from the west
ward, accompanied by higher temperature
and rain. The wind will continue from the
eastward, but cloudiness will increase, Civ
ING about the same weather conditions that
prevailed while the teams were shooting at
the one thousand yard range last evening.
AS the day advances the cloudincss Will
probably increase, with higher degree

rising temperature. The resistance to the
flight of the rifle bullets will be lessened as
the atmosphere decreases in density, and
