Under y False Flag.

The rapid transit meeting called for to-
night may well be looked upon with sus-
picion by the real friends OF that much
desired public improvement. The gentle
men who '.are in favor OF rapid transit, but
who believe in the rights of property, the
unbiased administration of justice, and
who are opposed to the Wholesale confisca-
ton Of the streets and avenues for the bene-
tit of q private corporation" are by this
time tolerably we'll known in New York.
The ''rights OF private property" are inter-
preted by them to mean the selfish interests
OF the few against the rights and interests
of the many. Their opposition to the con-
fiscation OF the streets and avenues for the
benefit Of private corporation springs from
their desire to protect the profits of the pri-
vate corporations which at present occupy
SO many OF our streets and avenues. They
favor rapid transit provided it can be con-
structed on unoccupied streets and along
routes not covered by horse cars The
meeting is moreover called to hear from
members OF the Legislature who manifested
their affection for rapid transit last session
by stabbing every measure designed to favor
it, and supporting all bills intended to in
jure it. This is sufficient indication OF its
real purpose. It seeks the favor of the peo-
pie by assuming false character. "The
voice is Jacobs voice, but the hands are the
hands Of Esau."

The Four Per Cent bonds.

The Secretary Of the Treasury gives public
notice that the President and all the men,
beis of the Cabinet formally agree with him
that the four per cent bonds are payable in
gold coin. This notice is in addition to his
letter on the subject, printed yesterday,
in which, having been asked whether
the four per cent bonds would be
paid, principal and interest, in gold,
he answered, "Of course He explained
that gold being required by the government
it will repay the loan in the same coin which
it now receives. When the question was
started the other day we remarked that it

But it was as well to have the question

and those who have money to lend to the
government can take their bonds securely.

whether he employed this tool and used
him to inveiele Tweed, or whether Bryant
deceived both parties alike. Mr.. Town

with false hopes, and that, in the present
state OF our information, the responsibility
rests upon the Attorney General. The pub

to Mr.. Townsend. Unless he can rebuff
and refute the statements of his ac-

| The execution of. the ten Molly Maguires
in Pennsylvania this morning closes the
last chapter in the history Of that infamous
organization. 1t is, Of course, impossible
not to feel some degree Of sympathy for the
unfortunate men who will expiate their
crimes on the scaffold to-day; but at the
same time no one will deny the justice OF
their sentence. The society to which they
belonged and of which they were the leaders
was for years the terror of the coal regions
1t set itself above the law and assumed TO
itself the regulation Of society and the re-
dress Of grievances, real or imaginary. by
means and methods bordering upon bar
barism. 1t was all the more dangerous for
the reason that it embraced in its
ranks the poor and the ignorant, who
imagined that in banding themselves to-
gether against what they considered tyranny
and persecution they were really doing
something that called for praise rather than
blame. Its oath-bound and seIni-religious
character made it all the more dangerous.
Harmless and innocent, perhaps, in the be-
ginning, it became in the end under the
leadership Of bad and ambitious men, the
most cruel and bloodthirsty organization
ever formed in the United States. The
more it was condemned the stronger it be-
came. Denunciation by the Church to
which the majority Of its members belonged
only bound it more closely together, until
at last it found itself beyond the pale OF all
law, human and divine. The crimes Of
which it has been guilty will be long remem-
bered in the mining districts, and it is not
improbable that thousands OF men and
women will mistakenly look upon the men
who die to-day as in some sense martyrs
who have died in just cause. The terri
BILE lesson of their execution will, how
ever have wholesome effect on the class
to which the outlaws belonged. and we may
be certain that the pitlless severity OF the
law will deter the most wicked from n.y.
thing like Imitation Of their crimes. It is a
cause for congratulation that the Board
Of Pardons was firm enough to resist the
strong appeals for mercy which were made
in behalf Of the doomed men. To have
less in enormity than that for which the
guilty men suffer. 1t would have been
mockery Of justice, and in the end lead
only to the most disastrous results. The
Molly Mcguire prisoners were confident that
their political power and influence would
be potential to save them, and to the last
did not despair Of q communication of their
sentences. To have done so would be to en-
danger the peace and good order of the
coal districts indefinitely; to SOW the seeds
of fresh crop of Molly Maguirism, which
in few years would blossom into crime as
revolving as that which stained its past his
tory. Without entering into the abstract
question Of the wisdom or unwisdom of
capital punishment it is fortunate for the
security Of life and property in the mining
sections that the law has been allowed to
take its course in the execution Of the Molly
Maguires.

The folly of the policy adopted by the
with the Indian tribes is once more empha-
sized by a'sanguinary butchery. A portion
OF the Nez Perces tribe. who have been
permitted by the government to maintain
themselves in state Of semi-hostility,
have suddenly begun murderous
the Idaho frontier. Taken unawares
the settlers have fallen easy victims to the
savage red men, whose tomahawks are once
more dripping with the blood Of defenceless
women and children. The authorities,
startled from their dreams Of security, are
hurrying up all available forces to check
the depredations Of the red devils but,
even should immediate success attend these
efforts, it will not free the government from
responsibility for the blood already shed.
The way to prevent Indian massacres
is very simple and quite within
the power Of any government which
will adopt and enforce rational policy in
dealing with the Indian savage. The bass
Of such policy should rest on the convic-
tion that the Indian is treacherous and
bloodthirsty, and that, like all other
dangerous animals, he should be put under
restraint. Deprive the Indian of his arms,
and he becomes as docile as q city rowdy
who has lost his derringer. A general sys-
tenn Of disarmament, stringeAtly enforced,
is the only guarantee for the people Of the
frontier settlements against these periodical
massacres. So long as the Indian is en-
couraged to be warrior and is supplied
with arms by stupidity paternal govern
ment we may expect to hear from time to
time of just such outrages as are now
staining the fields of Idaho with innocent
blood.
With trustworthy promptness the small
military detachment in the neighborhood Of
the outbreak went to the assistance of the set
tiers, but there is reason to fear that the SOL
diers who accompanied Captain Perry have
met the fate OF the gallant Custer and fallen
into trap laid by their willy enemies. There
is as usual disposition among the higher
military authorities to underrate the danger
and to assume that the forces on the ground
are sufficient to deal with the emer-
gency. 1t was this mistake which led to
the disastrous Little Big Horn campaign,
and the country has right to demand that
it be not repeated. The government has
troops enough at its disposal to be able to
forward enough reinforcements to render
the prompt subjugation Of hostile savnges
certain. There should be no delay in ;nfiict-
ing condign and summary vengeance on tho
authors of this latest massacre. In order to
prevent similar outbreaks a general disarma-
ment Of the Indian tribes should be strin-
gently enforced. In the adoption of this
precaution lies the only sure guarantee for
the lives and property ofthe frontier settlers
