Rapid Transit Distractions.

How to prevent the building Of rapid
transit roads is lucidly explained elsewhere
by one Of the counsel engaged in getting
out injunctions against the Gilbert Elevated
Railway Company. It is amusing to read
that of the four plans of construction from
which that company were allowed to choose
one only now remains, and that is steadily
enjoined but it is delightful to be told
that the best, and to the opponents of rapid
transit the least Questionable, is one which
the company would not be allowed to adopt,
even if it wanted to.
The people Of New York want rapid
transit roads, but we seem to be no nearer
to getting what is needed now than we were
ten years ago. The Supreme Court meets
on Monday, however to decide whether the
injunctions shall be made perpetual or
shall be dissolved. and we await the result
in patience. Some day the people will ask
the horse railroads by what right they OBJ
struct the streets, and will demand that the
Legislature shall repeal their charters
The New York herald., 1877-07-07
Mexican Matters.

In Washington neither Secretary Evarts
nor Sefior Mata is apprehensive of colli-
sion on the border Mr.. Evarts requires
assurances that President Diaz is able to
protect the border before he will talk about
recognition, which is eminently proper.
In Mexico the tone of the govern
ment in relation to the instructions to
General Ord was so violent that Minister
Foster felt himself compelled to make
public his belief that the spirit of these
orders was entirely misconceived by the
Diaz government General Treviho has
about three thousand troops under his COM
mand on the Rio Grande. General Ord
has about two thousand, and additional
forces were yesterday ordered from Louisi-
ana to join him. The two Generals seem
to be on good terms, and President Diaz
has probably tact enough to know that if
he wants the United States to recognize
him he should at least be civil. No doubt
the anti-Diaz people and revolutionists will
try to inAame the Mexican alarmA but
that we cannot help.
The New York herald., 1877-07-07
The Bread and Butter Brigade.

The postmasters, who had such good
time under the last administration, seem to
be in great trouble. They begin to see that
the President is in earnest and does not
mean to have conventions any longer
manipulated by these petty federal officers,
who are hereafter to attend to their duties.
But what an absurd pass matters had got to,
when, in Pennsylvania as well as in Wis
consin, it was impossible to call conventions
of the republican party without the assist
ance of the postmasters. The machine had
become perfect The people no longer made
or inspired the platforms or nominated
the men. They were merely allowed to
vote. And it is for stopping this gross and
dangerous abuse and for trying to save his
party from falling into general and deserved
contempt as the tool Of the bread and butter
brigade that Mr.. Hayes is abused and
hated by the republican politicians.
The New York herald., 1877-07-07
An Honorable Us. of the Army.

One of the good fruits of the Presidents
Southern policy will be the strengthening
of our forces in the Indian Territory and on
the Rio Grande The United States army,
being no longer required to prop up with
its bayonets the carpet-bag governments in
the Southern States, will be used to protect
our citizens living along the Mexican bor-
der from being robbed and murdered by
Mexican bandits, and to prevent rep
etition of such deplorable massacres jas
those of Fort Kearney and the Little Big
Horn. Our Indian troubles ore threaten
ing. and it is cruelty to the brave pioneers
of civilization and gross injustice to our
soldiers to leave our distant posts insuf-
fciently garrisoned and at the mercy OF the
murderous redskins We have thrifty,
industrious. deserving population in Texas,
