The SUNDAY LAW is the occasion of much
sensational abuse by the police. Last night
IS many as thirty arrests were made at Gill
more's Garden, the place and the occasion
being chosen because of the talk the action
will create. 1t is unnecessary to repeat
what we have so often said in regard to the
uselessness of this thing. Nothing can be
more harmless, on Sunday night even, than
. glass of beer to good music, and the police
will not be able to justify their action to the
public unless they show that both the beer
and the music are bad If half the zeal that
is shown in following up the wretched bar
keepers was exhibited in the pursuit Of
thieves we would be able to look with moro
pleasure upon the efficiency of the Police
Department.

The International Rowing Races ~
Saratoga.

Saratoga.
The international racing ut Saratoga to-
day and Wednesday will bring together
many of the very best amateurs of the coun-
try, and both for its own merits and espe-
meeting at Philadelphia will attract much
attention, particularly among rowing men.
In the longer distance than at Philadelphia,
which will better test the endurance of the
crews than their speed, there may be win
ners this week who will be beaten there !;
but in any event, when such scullers as
Courtney, Riley, Yates, Kennedy, Alderman
and good stranger or two from Chicago oil
back into limo there is sure to be hard racing
and fine sport, while the pair-oared race
also promises to be intensely exciting. But
the principal contest is expected on Wednes-
day. Then the famous Atalantas Of this city,
who n year ago twice swept the field
and became the champion amateur oarsmen
of America, and then rashly ventured to the
home water of the Argonautas of Bergen
Point, and were beaten, are to meet the lat
ter, each meanwhile having improved, and
the Argonautas especially having done an
unexampled winters work. But one of the
three crews against them-the Showaccac-
mettes, of Monroe, Mich-have come with
such reputation for splendid time on their
home track that it will be no surprise to
many should they leave everything behind
them. If they do then either Captain
Gulston's English four must row faster at
Philadelphia than it has ever done in Eu-
rope, or the amateur rowing championship
of the world stands in an excellent way to
remain for while on this side of the Allan
tic, the notorious English stroke to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

are dealing with tribes of savages who
killed Custer and his men according to their
rude laws of war. Our duty is to take these
bands. disarm and dismount them and put
them under military control. The whole
Sioux nation, taking the largest estimate, is
could put them on a tract of land not larger
than Rhode Island and keep them there.
So far rs was possible we should teach them
to be civilized-to SOW and plough and
weave. If that was impossible, at least with
the elders OF the tribe, then we should feed
them and try what we could do with their
children. We must never lose sight of the
fact that our whole policy with these In
dams has been wrong; that we have never
respected their rights; that we have allowed
thieves to prey upon them; that We have
never seriously tried to elevate them. We
have been so busy with our own affairs,
with the building of cities and Com
monwealths, that we have forgotten all
about the Indians, and have permitted o
solemn, chivalrous duty to devolve upon
vagabonds who robbed him, and who now
devolve upon us the duty Of fighting him.
This is the immediate duty, and we trust
it will be promptly done. Unhappily, af-
fairs with the Indians have come to such
pass that we must fight them. Let there
be no hesitancy in that work 1t is mercy to
the Indian and economy to ourselves to
throw an overwhelming force upon Sitting
Bull and end his military power in one cam
paign. There is no way of treating with
him. We might as well send flag of truce
and peace commissioners into an In
dian jungle as within his lines. We
must fight him, and the moro speed
lily and thoroughly we do it the
better. 1t is not war of glory. 1t is war
which every humane man regards with pain,
and the sooner it is over the better
But in this lull of politics, while we have
little breathing space, and while with
anxious, hopeful hearts we wait to hear
from Terry and Crook, could not our
politicians lay aside their wrangles and
give some attention to the Indian? We
have tried the Indian Department, we
have tried the peace policy. Both have
failed There are too many jobbers and
thieves to profit by war to permit any fair
dealing with the red men. Let us now turn
the whole business over to Sherman and
Sheridan. These men as the chiefs of the
army are our best commissioners. While it
is their duty now to suppress an armed force
it would be not only their duty but their
pleasure to take care of the Indian and see
that he had all the opportunities and advan-
tages of civilization. No man is so tender
as the brave man; and, while the COM
manders Of our army would be unpausing
in their military operations, the moment
that peace was assured they would treat the
Indian with justice. forbearance and hu-
mainly. Therefore we think that the con-
troll of the whole Indian nation should be
turned over to the army. William Tecumseh
Sherman and Philip II. Sheridan are the
true peace commissioners for the settlement
of this appalling problem.

The SHOOTING Policy seems to be the pre-
concerted plan among burglars and thieves
when arrested or interfered with. Two such
cases recently occurred in Brooklyn, and
case in point. Nova story comes from Long
Branch that two police officers were shot at
that place, one perhaps fatally, by burglars
whom they had arrested. Speedy punish
ment is the only way to prevent the crimes
of such desperate criminals

companies, aside from the Indian scouts and
the men necessary to manage the Calling

fifty men each. A little arithmet will

full complement without delay, and the

Hamburg massacre 1t was an unnecessary
debate provoked by Mr.. Morton for political
ends. Mr. Thurman, cautious and able as
he is, was indiscreet enough to fall into the
trap. Mr. Thurman should know that the
republicans mean to use the Hamburg affair
for all it is worth. Nothing would crafty
Mr. Morton and his friends more than to
have it debated. The effect of such debate
would be to aid the republicans. Mr.. Nor
ton is much more adroit debater than Mr..
Thurman, and in debating power the
republican Senators far overmatch the
democrats. If Mr. Morton could put
Mr.. Thurman in the position of ex-
tenuating or defending or even belittling
the Hamburg massacre, the effect on the
country would be disastrous to the democ-
racy. This was the meaning of Mr.. Nor
tons speech, and we are surprised Mr..
Thurman did not see it and allow the reso-
luton to print ten thousand copies Of the
Presidents Message to pass without saying
word.
This whole Southern question must be
treated with the utmost care and frmness
by the democrats. Nothing is easier than
to arouse the old war feeling in the North.
That is the main hope of the republicans.
1t was mistake for Mr.. Tilden in his letter
not to have expressed his horror as Chris
tian man and statesman at this occurrence
il South Carolina. 1t was a mistake for
Mr.. Hendricks to say, as he does in spirit if
not in terms. that these bloody events would
not cease until the democrats had power in
the South. These are points that will be
used against Tilden and Hendricks in the
campaign. If, in addition to this, the dem
ocrats give Morton, Conkling Logan, Ed
munds and the rest field day in the Senate
on Southern outrages" it will be an i'm
mense gain to the republican canvass. For,
as our democratic friends will allow us to re-
mind them, their canvass is in o peculiar
position. We think a majority of the people
would like to elect Mr.. Tilden and try what
q change would do for the country. There
is q longing for change-to be free from
military Presidents, to see all the rings
broken, to have general clearing up of the
old mansion. In this desire many re-
publicans share. They would like
the republicans to go out of power
now for time in order that they
might return with renewed strength four
years hence. The way to secure that vote
is for the democrats to inspire confidence.
The only objection to the election of Tilden
is the fear that the Southern men would
overturn affairs in the South and the West
ern men force imitation. While the country
would trust Tilden could it trust the men
who would elect him? This is the question
that will be asked from now until the cleo
ton. Upon their answer will depend the
result. If there is any doubt Hayes will
win, as a man of honor and ability, who
has covered himself with pledges of reform.
The tendency of such debate as this in
the Senate and of votes like that of the
House against resumption is to alarm con-
servative people and to drive from the sup
port of Tilden the very men without whom
he can never be elected President of the
United States.

The SEnv1ANs have been gaining some sue
cesses in Bosnia, which make up somewhat
for their reverses in the valley of the Timok.
Already they have initiated guerilla war
fare against the Turks which cannot fail to

ments in the revolted districts. It must
be remembered that the Servian army

the commencement of the campaign, and

cered by men who have had no military
training beyond that acquired in the army
on q peace establishment. The fighting
qualities of really warlike people improve
even with defeat, and, although the Serviana
have been forced to retire behind the Timok
before the pressure of numbers and supe-
rior discipline, there is yet chance that
they will suddenly turn on their foes and
infiict on them such o serious defeat that
the fortune of war will again lean in favor
of the Slaves.

Mr.. Conkling's friends in New YORK are.
we believe, preparing for him new defeat
and humiliation in laboring to procure the
nomination of Mr.. Cornell as candidate for the
Governorship. Mr.. Cornell is man of un-
exceptionable character; but is not as even
his friends will acknowledge, great man.
Compared with Mr.. Conkling or Mr.. Evarts
he sinks to the second rank
Now, it is not good time this fall for SEQ
ond rate men. The election will be close
the party which carries New York will carry
the country, and neither party can afford to
take many risks Hence the HERALD, which
is equally solicitous for both, which seeks
only the good of the country, desires to see
both parties put forward their best men for
all the offices to be filed. Under ordinary
circumstances, for instance, we might have
advised the democrats to nominate
for Governor the elegant and service
able Mr.. Dorsheimer He has done
a great deal for Governor Tilden and
would, no doubt, be glad of the nomination,
which would be real compliment to him.
But it is not time for trifing, and hence
we have, with pain, felt ourselves obliged ia
advise our democratic friends to provide
comfortable back seat for Mr.. Dorsheimer
and send stronger man to the front. So
with the republicans. They will blunder If
they put up second rate man. Mr.. Cornell,
Mr.. Morgan. Mr.. Robertson, Mr. Woodford,
even Mr.. Andrew d. Whitehall these are
men very good for ordinary occasions; but
for this time we advise that they be laid
aside for Mr.. Evarts or Mr.. Conkling.
The republicans ought not to forget that
in electing Governor for New York in
November they are putting forward Presi-
Dental candidate for 1880. The Governor
to be elected this fall holds over for three
years. He has handsome salary and hand
some house at Albany and o good deal Of
real power in the largest and richest State
in the Union and if he is great man, like
Mr.. Conkling or Mr. Evarts, he will be al
most inevitably the most conspicuous among
the Presidential candidates, and will lay
down his Office of Governor just in time to
make his claims and his services felt by the
country when that begins to think of the
Presidential nomination. This is an impor-
tant consideration, not to be overlooked il
the republicans are wise.
But, besides this, it must be evident ia
them that they cannot afford to risk the loss
of the State. 1t is their true and only safe
policy to put forward their strongest man.
If Mr.. Cornell can probably carry the State,
his chief, Senator Conkling, would much
more surely carry it. If Governor Morgan
or Judge Robertson could probably carry it,
Mr.. Evarts would be much more sure ia
do it. Hence we urge once more that the
true policy is to nominate Mr.. Conkling OF
Mr. Evarts. Either one would make no
table canvass. If, however, the republicans
give up New York, then anybody will do.
