The Indian War.
the term.

As soon as the fine weather begins we have
an Indian war. This is the experience of
years, and the HERALD has frequently called
attention to the fact. Now we have another
proof of it. The Sioux are on the warpath
and have massacred our citizens on the Palms.
and, not contented with murder, have graft
fed their passions by mutilations of the dead
bodies. The disorders in the Indian Terri
tory have, as usual, compelled the govern
ment to organize a military expedition at
great expense to punish these savages. The
old, old story will never have IN end until
the entire Indian policy is revoutionized.
These barbarous tribes, whose utter saw
ageness is indicated by their grotesque and
wretched names-Little Big Man, Run Away
From-a-Bear, Spotted Tail, &c.-and whose
actions are still more savage than their
words, are fed by the United States all
winter only to fight tho whites all sum-
mer. 1t is folly to keep up the system Of
failure for the benefit Of spectators, Indian
agents and government rings, and for the
injury Of the whole West and the discour-
agement Of emigration and enterprise. The
only true policy is to give the entire control
of the Indians to the War Department. The
army is needed every summer to whip the
Sioux and the Pawnees and the rest of tho
savages, and it would be Better to employ il
in preventing the hostilities which it is
now obliged to suppress.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1876-05-20

THE SITUATION IN TuRKEx.-The most i'm
portant event in the Eastern situation is the
refusal of England to join with the other
great Powers Of Europe in the memorandum
to Turkey. The reasons given for this nc
ton are not without weight. The English
government, ever since the downfall of tho
imperial power in France, has been without
an ally on the Continent, and the CONNER
cial influence Of the country has been op-
posed to any "entangling alliances" Yet
England will in the end join with Russia,
Austria, Germany and France in any proper
effort to protect the interests of civilized
Europe against the anachronism Of Turkish
barbarity The interests of the English in
the East will compel them to net with other
nations in the settlement Of the present
question. We do not believe that the plucky
little island would submit to see the affairs
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1876-05-20

The sketch of the Paris horse-car rail-
roads which is given in the HERALD to-day
will show that the French have not been
slow in adopting the cheap transit system of
New York. At the same time it is we'll
known that despite the low fares and the
extensive accommodation of the "tram-
ways" in Paris, the cabs of that city are
literally patronized and are fairly profit
able. The principal argument against the
experiment of cheap cabs in New York has
been based on the idea that, rs we have
number of horse-car lines running through
the principal avenues of the city at cheap
fares, the travel across town would be about
all that could make o demand for cab con-
veyances. But this ignores the fact that if
cabs could be hired at reasonable rates
many thousands who now travel by the
street cars would gladly pay the extra
charge and patronize the cabs. The truth
is, that we are on the verge of On expert
ment that we have not heretofore had On
opportunity of ascertaining whether cabs
would be success or failure in New York,
because we have never yet placed them
within the reach of the general class of citi-
gems, and that all calculations based upon
The supposition that people would not
patronize cheap cabs are mere matter of
guesswork
The cab proprietors are their own enemies
in this controversy. The owners and drivers
of cabs are an industrious and deserving
class of men as a rule. but they fail to COM
prehend that it is to their interest to estab-
lish reasonably low rate of fares for the use
of their vehicles. They have hitherto found
that few people, considering the population,
ride in hacks, and have in consequence been
disposed to make as much money as possible
out of their customers. Heavy charges have
deferred persons from trying second ex-
pertinent with New York hacks, and thus
the business has been restricted almost
wholly to the absolute necessity of using
that means Of conveyance. If the hack
drivers could be persuaded once to try the
experiment of cheap fares they would soon
find that small profit would be attended
by an increase of patronage large enough to
secure them o very profitable business 1t
is certain that o fortune awaits any enter
prising proprietor who will place cheap cabs
at the service of the people of New York,
and it is surprising that with so many enter
prising men in the hack business we have
not some one who will venture on the ex-
pertinent.

The RECEPTION or THE PRINCE OF WALES
The reception of the Prince of Wales in
London, after his visit to India, recalls the
parable Of the Prodigal Son. The Prince
expended the money of the English nation
freely in that visit, but the people are proud
of their royal family, and seem to rejoice
in the opportunity of welcoming the
heir apparent TO the city. 1t would be
. graceful act on the part Of the Prince
of Wales to use his powerful influence in
favor of amnesty to the Fenian prisoners.
Great national festivals ought to BIO marked
