4 NEW HAND AT THE HELM

The Herzegovina revolt has served to place
England's timidty in European politics III
very striking light. Nothing further from her
traditional policy on the Eastern question can
be imagined than that which she is now pur-
suing. For at least half a century, with GER
tain brief interruptions, the moral power OF
Great Britain as represented by her diplomacy,
has been constantly eXerted to uphold the
Porte. AT every symptom of revolt in the
Turkish provinces, the British ambassador
hastened to the side of the Sultan, and stood
there from the firing of the first gun till the
last drop of wax sealed treaty, ever ready
with unwelcome advice for the ears of the
Grand Seignior and with promises or threats to
enforce it. Protestant England, uph0lding in
her arms the dccaying MoSlem, was a sight to
make devils lecr, but Europe grew used
to it. Her own subjects did not always
sympGthize with the Government of Great
Britain in this policy. The distinctive
line was clearly drawn during the struggle in
which Greece acquired freedom. When the
tidings of the destruction of the Turkish fleet
at Nayarino were received, London was gay
with rejoicing and bright with illumination,
except in Downing-st. there the news caused
Duke of Wellington always spoke of it after
ward as can untoward event" But the sym
pathy that went out so freely to the Greeks
was rarely extended to Slavic and Roumanan
rebels; Russia was their friend, England al
most their enemy.
The historian of the Crimean War has not
yet completed his task, but all the issues of
that conflict have strangely altered. France
has little or nothing to say about Herzego-
vinlan affairs her politicians being now will
ing to admit that meddling with foreign con-
Germs is unproftable In England the organs
of public opinion favor a representative gov
ernment and reforms for the rebellious prov
ince, but no pressure of British diplomacy is
brought TO bear on the Porte. Russia acts as
If she could afford to wait, and so far from
fostering the rebellion, seems to discourage aid
to it from Servia For the first time in living
mems memory, Russian journals are found
praising Ottoman rule and accepting the prom
ised reforms of the Porte as made in good
faith. Austria, fearful that widespread revOlu-
ton on her border may weaken her union
with Hungary, makes every effort to prevent
the flames from extending in Servia, and ju-
diciously throws cold water on that province.

New-York tribune., 1875-10-13
THE CUSTOMHOUSE CAMPAIGN

Taking up the men whom Tammany has re-
iccted il q game in which our city Republicans
have more experience than success. A good
many of them must still have vivid recol-
lections of the figure they cut, solid, respecta-
bic merchants or professional men, eager
for reform, and marching up to the polls
with tickets for "Jimmy' O'Brien, to secure
il. Most of them have lived to be heartily
ashamed of that performance, and thoroughly
disgusted with the shifty leaders whose low
cunning and lack of conscience led them to
think the trick might win.
Recorder Hackett is much abler Tammany
man than Jimmy" O'Brien ever was; but he
also retained his relations to the Ring much
longer. Tammany has renominated the other
Judges, who are universally recognized as good
men; but has refused to renominate him, on
the distinct declaration that he was too much
compromised with the Ring to he safe
Judge. 1t nOminatcs, instead, good man who
had no relations to the Ring. Thereupon the
Republicans instantly take up the rejected
candidate, raise the cry that he Is re-
iected because he has done his duty as
Judge, and boast that, by gaming
the disaffected Democrats, they can elect him.
We do mt believe they can and we do not see
what they gain if they do. The people OF
New. York are not eager for Judges whose
personal or official relations to the Ring
were too close; aud they regard the matter
as so serious that even suspicion OF Ring
relationship is sufficient to make them prefer
somebody else. The Republican nomination
is the work of small politicians who
thought it smart, and, like most tricks
of the kind. it is too smart
to misead Recorder Hackett does not carry
victory with him to the Republican ranks.
The District-AttOrney's Office is the pivot
of this Falls contest. 1t is on this the
Custom-hOuse means to concentrate its
energies, and it is because it thought
Recorder Hackett would help Phelps
that the Recorder was nominated. Mr. Phelps
is able and popular; his Office is of prime
political importance, and the Custom-house
will make desperate fight for it. They hope
for the opposition Democratic nomna-
ton, and probably also for that OF
tho Liberal Republicans, whose city organi-
cation is still pretty effective. To elect Phelps
they will sacrifice anything else. AT present
they are carried away with the idea that
Hackett and Phelps make winning card; but
they would drop Hackett in moment If they
thought another combination more favorable
| to Phelps.

lROUT 4 NEW POLICE BOIRD

Mayor Wickham is perfectly right in telling
the Police Board that the city is sick OF them.
1t has been sick of them a long while.
If the Mayor gets blamed for his course
about them, it is much more likely to be
for having borne with them too long
than for having mt last threatened to turn
them out. This Board was from the begin
ming an outrage upon the Reform move
ment of New-York, through whose tn
umph it came into existence. AT the
start it was strong, and bad. 1t is now
weak, and yet worse. Charlck and Gard
ner were bitter partisans and utterly unfit
for Police Commissioners. but at least the
Board then was not laughing stock. Every
party and faction in the city has admitted
the imperative need of a change. The Police
Board rs now constituted is absolutely without
support.
Yet this is a critical time for changes. We
are within month of our election; and the
Mayor belongs to party which, in times
past, has used the Police to protect ballot
box suffers, and pervert the City's vote.
We believe he deprecated those monstrous frauds
rs much as any citizen We have he certainly
cut loose from the Ring in consequence and
0lu DIS DcSt 10 dlu Ill us ONcItHloM' luo
be thou chaste as ice, thou shalt not
escape calumny. The Mayor cannot afford
to remove these Police Commissioners now, so
near an exciting election, after having de-
layed so long, without appointing in their place
Board so conspicuously fit and fair that the
whole city shall recognize their absolute merit.
They must be men of high character and
ability. They must not be active partisan man
ayers, leaders of rival committees or Ward
wire -pullers. They must be men who will
90 into the service to give their whole time
to the one work of maintaining law and
order in the city. They must be ready to
manage the police as corporation would
manage its private watchmcn, and must
make appointments rs business man
would select employees. If policemen can
be made to depend on their service, and not
on their political backing, for their places,
and if the Board can manage the force in
the sole interest of the citizens it is to protect
a reorganization can be vndicated even on
the eve of an election. Otherwise it is very
dangerous experiment.
