But few days since and in face of the
resolutions which it was reported Mr.
Gladstone would offer in the House of Com
mons it seemed imminent that one of two
things would happen. either of which might
be regarded as calamity in English poll
tics. 1t appeared likely either that the
liberal party would take no definite position
on the great topic of the relation of England
to the war between Turkey and Russia, or
that if it did take position it would be
split into two factions, each of which must
necessarily prove incapable of exercising
any influence upon the conduct of the
government. But the wise moderation
which seems to have controlled in the
counsels Of the party and in def
erence to which Mr.. Gladstone so far
modified his resolutions rs to cast away
all that part which, however sound in the
moral view OF the case, was dangerous in
practical application, left it possible for the
party to act with him and imposed upon
the Ministry at least the restraint Of the
consciousness that they are in presence
of a vital opposition. Mr. Gladstone's criti-
cism Of the government in his speech of last
night is one that England will heed. 1t is
full of the clear truths that can only be heard
in the politics of the day in free countries.
That no chapter in the history of the for
cign relations of England is SO deplorablc
as that of the negotiations with Turkey in
this affair is a truth that Lord Derby him
self is perhaps more than half ready
to believe; that the Conference was q
farce the Marquis of Salisbury must admit !;
and that it was mistake to send to Con-
stantinople at the last moment recognized
partisan of Turkey in the person Of Mr..
Layard that distinguished diplomatist will
himself scarcely deny. 1t is true, as de-
clared in this criticism, that the econ
science of mankind is no longer con-
tent with circumstances and expostula-
TONS" and that the Power which is pre-
pared to exact from the Turks more sub
stantial guarantees performs duty to the
civilized world. II that Power is not Eng
land so much the worse for her. eff Eng
land is unprepared to 60 further she must be
prepared to see the duty pass into other
hands" In short, this speech, which will
be recorded as one of the greatest efforts of
the real leader of liberalism in England,
emphasizes what is the opinion everywhere
in the world that England's present relation
to Russia and Turkey is the browning blum
der of her recent history.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1877-05-08

A correspondent signing himself "Strict
Party Man" insists in yesterdays HERALD
that Governor Robinson ought to refuse to
sign the Omnibus" bill should it reach the
Executive Chamber, because it is a measure
advocated and passed bya republican Legis-
lature. II do not care whether it be for the
public good or not, says this stanch demo-
cratic champion cit should be enough for
him to know that the bill was introduced to
the Legislature as party measure, advo-
Gated by republicans and finally passed by
them" We think this argument should be
and must be conclusive with Governor
Robinson. 1t is evidently the course of
reasoning by which some of the democratic
leaders in New York have been led to the
conviction that the Governor must perforce
veto the bill. Was he not, as our CORE
spondent Justly remarks, elected, not by
republicans, but by democrats, who pre-
sumed, in voting for him, they were help
ing to elect one who would under oil cir
cumstances and in each and every instance
represent the party which placed him in the
gubernatorial chair ?" What is the "public
good" that it should be allowed to interfere
with this clear obligation to political
party? A foolish idea prevails in some
quarters that the executive Office is en-
numbered with some obligation to study the
interests of the whole State and the welfare
of the whole people; but this arises from
some platitudes in the constitution and
from the simplicity of that remarkable class
of citizens known as ''non-partisan. No
good, stout democrat, and especially no
Tammany democrat, believes in it. If the
Omnibus bill would save the city large
amount of needless expenditure and give
it more efficient government it would at
the same time interfere with the patronage
and profits of the democrats who elected
Governor Robinson, and his obligation to
veto it is therefore unquestionable. So
conscientious man as the Governor cannot
do otherwise

Rapid Transit and Real Estate.

When the minds of rural members Of the
Legislature become confused and bewildered
by the brazen assertions Of the horse rail-
road lobby it is an advantage to be able to
bring the noisy predictions and statements
of the lobby to the sure test Of facts. The
opponents of rapid transit in the Legisla-
ture, inspired by the horse car lobby, have
acclaimed themselves hoarse about the i'm
pending ruin to real estate along the lines
Of rapid transit roads. The members
who have seen these puppets of the
horse car companies lash their mercenary
nonsense into rhetorical froth by crazy
speeches will be instructed as we'll as
amused by comparing these gloomy predic-
tions with the record of real estate transfers
in this city. We give them specimen from
the official list of sales of real estate on the
9Th of May. "Amity street, north side,
SS. o feet west of Macdougal street. 23x100;
A. Zarki, referee, to S. Black, $4,000"
This property is assessed at $4,000.
A sale made under such circumstances
will never produce as much rs when
made in the ordinary way; yet the price OBJ
tanned for this piece of property is really q
large one Now here is the point to which
we wish to direct the attention of the Albany
Solons--this piece of real estate is in Amity
street, where the Gilbert Elevated road is
already built Rapid transit IL much more

THE WEATHER.-A deep depression has APP
peared on the northeast coast, having evidently
moved northward along the Atlantic seaboard
beyond the area of observation. Very heavy
PAINS and high winds attend this disturbance,
especially on the eastern coast Of Nova
Scotia. The temperature is, however, low,
and there are indications that storm of
considerable energy is in progress The
low area in the Mississippi Valley has extended
and the pressure has fallen decidedly. It's prob
able that both dcpressions will unite during to-
duy on the coast. Heavy rains prevail on the
southern shores of the lakes aud high winds in
the northern portion of that region. The TEN
..~t,,re hss risen west OF the Mississippi, but is
variable in the central sections. The highest
,r.~~nrs il now in Manitoba A low
barometer continues on the Pacific coast,
but the pressure there is rising gradually Brisk
winds may be expected on the Texas coast. In
,hc southeas4 light rain prevails. The weather
n New York to-day will be partly cloudy or
cloudy and warmer, with rain.
