Relief Of Liquor Dealers.

Mr.. Marks L. Frank has introduced in the
Assembly bill to authorize the sale of
liquor by all dealers in New York who have
placed money on deposit with the Excise
Board for licenses and not received it back
during the period which would have been
covered by a regular license if one had been
granted and issued. Mr.. Frank very COM
mendably desires to protect the liquor deal
ers who, besides being deprived OF their
business, have been defrauded out Of their
money through the dishonesty of public
official. There can be no question Of the
fairness of paying back to the unlicensed
dealers their deposit money, or of allowing
the amounts to stand as credit in pay
ment of their license fees under new law.
Their money was not paid by them to Ow en-
Murphy, but to the Excise Board, an official
body which is responsible for it's safe keep
ing. But what we want now is a sound,
impartial license law to apply to all the
cities of the State alike, and any patchwork
legislation will only delay such measure
A concise, careful license bill should at once
be prepared by the proper committee and
made law as speedily as possible

The Peace Projects.

As yet the war continues, simply because
though the Powers have declared their mu-
tual desire to make peace or to suspend
hostilities the persons authorized to COM
nit either side to such action have not yet
met, and until they have met and acted the
relations are still those of active hostility.
But the terms of peace are discussed with
energy in all the capitals Austria seems
to have instructed her representatives at
Constantinople and ST. Petersburg to
declare her views with unusual distinctness.
These views, however, only present her
case as it was already known to exist. She
is averse to the determination Of the future
fate of great territories near her without
her consent, and cannot feel at ease in the
presence Of any possibility that Russia and
Turkey shall settle between them issues
that are of great immediate consequence to
her. 1t will be easy enough for Russia to
reassure her in that respect, and the ground
of that reinsurance is, in fact, laid down in
the article from the Agencs Russo, given in
our dispatches which points out that
Russin has already declared herself rs to
these points and will adhere to her declara-
tions

Rapid Transit Safegua rd 8.

Senator Ecclesne desires legislation to
compel the New York and Gilbert Elevated
Railroad companies to complete their roads
north Of Fiity-ninth street with as little
delay as possible. This is doubtless in
consequence of the announcement made
by the companies that the portion of the
roads between the Battery and Fifty-ninth
street will be first completed. But the
main profits of the roads must come from
the through routes hence it is not prob
able that they will make any unnecessary
delay in finishing their lines to the northern
extremities. Mr.. Ecclesine has been such
an earnest champion of rapid transit that
any proposition proceeding from him on
the subject deserves consideration. Never
theless, We regard his seeming apprehen-
sion Of delay in the construction of the
through lines rs unnecessary. 1t would be
more important to inquire whether any
legislation can now be had making the
regular running Of night trains an obliga-
tion on the part Of the companies.

thousand bushels in 1876. The corn move
ment has scarcely yet begun this year, in
consequence Of the unfavorable weather.
At Milwaukee the January receipts thus far
this year have been four hundred and eighty
seven thousand bushels, against three hun
dred and thirty-four thousand bushels last
year. But the largest receipts known in
one day for many years were those of Janu-
ary Is, being, at Chicago, one hundred and
two thousand bushels OF wheat and one
hundred and forty thousand bushels Of
corn, and at Milwaukee ninety-one thou
sand bushels of wheat. These facts, with
the active and strong grain and -four market
at Liverpool, the decline of the gold pre-
MUM on Tuesday below two per cent, the
lowest point reached since April 30, 1862,
and the prospect of further European COM
plications, promise well for the business
prosperity of the United States and for q
general revival of our real estate, railroad,
shipping and other interests.

lose all dignity and be brought
into daily contempt by humiliations
against which they would have no
defence and which they would be power
less either to escape or parry. The ma
jority of the House controls the adWinistra-
ton of its rules, and in the hands OF a
hostile majority the rules could be made to
work intolerable annoyance to a badgered
and helpless Ministry. Under our system
heads OF departments occupying seats in
the House might be made very uncomfort-
able even when acceptable to the political
patty that elected the President. 1t may
happen that the party opposed to the
President has a majority in Congress,
and whenever that is the case and
party feeling runs high few self
respecting men would be willing to
hold Cabinet positions which required
them to run the gauntlet of Congressional
hectoring. 1t is for the public interest that
the administration should always appear
respectable, and that it should be protected
against indignities in the discharge Of its
duties, which it could hardly be if its men,
bers had seats in Congress without sup
porting majority. Whenever we make that
change we must introduce with it the prin-
ciple of Ministerial responsibility or the
experiment cannot succeed.

Canal Affairs At Albany.

1t is fair to presume that the rejection of
Mr.. Fairchild rs Superintendent Of Public
Works was based upon his want of qualifi-
cation for the position. But if this legiti-
mate act is to be followed by the rejection
Of any capable nominee whom the Governor
may select for. that important Office the
canals will have bad prospect before
them for the next season Of navigation.
One Of the present Canal Commissioners is
known to be in opposition to the admins
tration's economical canal policy, and q
new commissioner chosen by the repub-
lican Legislature is not likely to act in
harmony with Governor Robinson and
Comptroller Olcott Close and careful man
agement Of the public works is now more
needed than ever if we are to have
any canals at all in operation next summer.
The gross receipts last year were only eight
hundred and eighty thousand dollars, and
in accordance with the constitutional re-
striction no larger sum con be expended
this year for collections, superintendent
and ordinary and extraordinary repairs.
This will necessitate the closest economy
and the most skilful superintendent to get
along at all, and even with these bad
break may leave US without canal naviga-
tion. The Canal Board has readopted the
low toll sheet of last season, and this is
we'll. But the canals are now in great peril,
and the republican Senate will accept a
grave responsibility if it resolves to reject
any nomination for Superintendent OF
Public Works without regard to the fitness
and capacity of the nominee.

The r.rinxfll. pi...ter.

The details of this terrible calamity rs
they come to hand furnish conclusive proof
that it was directly due to the murderous
economy thut governed the construction Of
the fatal bridge. The most common test Of
the strength of railroad bridge when COM
pleted is to run as many locomotives over
1t as possible, SO as to place it far beyond
the maximum strain incidental to rail-
road traffic on all its parts. The de-
hexion of the lower chords of trusses
is carefully noted during the test, and
must not exceed the limit of safety IT the
bridge is to be pronounced secure. But
We find in this instance that the mere
weight Of an additional locomotive was
sufficient TO cause the bridge to break down
and hurl four crowded cars into the frozen
river. Can il be possible that this bridge,
on the stability of which the lives of hun
dreds of passengers depended every day,
could have been properly tested before it
was used? We fear that it represents
another case where desire to shave down
the estimates for the work to the lowest
cent was more powerful than the obligation
w DuAN q SuiC ohW otiOAAE DAAuSO ~ aAy
reasonable cost. Probably the inquest on
the bodies of the victims may develop some
information on this important point. We
direct the Coroner's attention particularly
to the list of estimates for work, and all the
facts connected with its construction.
The plan Of the truss is, after all, second
ary matter The question is, Was the work
well put together? Were the eyes of the tie
rods carefully formed? Did the pins and
bolts entirely fill them, or was there space
permitting any play when the rods were
subjected to sudden shocks and strains?
Did the pier foundations settle? The wreck
will furnish all the evidence needed, AID
the telltale parts should be carefully
guarded by the officers of the law until
after the inquest. AS to the moral to be
drawn from the disaster, it is an old one
as old as mans criminal stupidity and
greed In advance of any investigation
we must protest against the RESPONSE
bility for this horror being thrown on
Providence 1t is entirely mans evil work.
TO the sufferers the whole community will
extend the deepest sympathy; but this
feeling must not be permitted to silence the
stern demands Of justice for strict account
from those who can be easily shown to be
the authors of this latest railroad murder.

A Good Outlook.

The large receipts Of grain and -four at
Chicago, Milwaukee md other Western
gathering points for the first half OF the
present month speak we'll for very active
movement to this port by railroad during
the winter months and for general revival
of business in New York. Large grain re-
ceipts here mean activity in the dry goods
better employment for labor during the
winter. The wheat arriving in Chicago by
the Northwestern and other lines from
January to January IA this year foots up
seven hundred and ffty-two thousand
bushels, against three hundred and sixty
thousand during the corresponding period
in 1877 and five hundred and twenty-five

The WEATHER.-The low area has now moved
oil the coast over Newfoundland, followed by
rising pressure, which is attended in the Middle
and Eastern States by very low temperatures.
Two areas of high barometer are ut present
within the region between the Rocky Mountains
and the Atlantic coast, but the pressures are in
no instance remarkable. In the Northwest the
pressure has fallen over o very extensive area
embracing the Upper Missouri Valley in fact
all the territory north of Kansas and west of
Minnesota. The winds attending this deprcs-
sion are southery, with high temperatures. The
weather westward Of the mountains to the Pa
citic coast Is much disturbed and the indications
arc highly unfavorable. The weather in New
York and its vicinity to-day will be cold and
clear or partly cloudy, and will be followed to-
morrow by fair weather and slowly rising
temperature.

The Meeting OF Parliament. {.

The British Parliament meets to-day, and
for many years it has not assembled at q
moment Of greater national interest, not to
say peril. England's relations to the States
of Eastern Europe are in a critical condi-
ton, while, in the opinion of oil authorities
that pretend acquaintance with the subject,
her communications with her Indian En-
pire are directly menaced by the progress
of events, the course of which she is power
less to arrest or change This dangerous
condition of the national concerns is a
direct result of incompetency in the gov
ernment, Of a want of capacity to Justly
measure the forces with which the adminis-
tration of great nation is called upon to
deal, and of an impertinent disposition to
belittle those forces and deal with them
from standpoints of personal vanity. Eng
land, as party to the European agree
ment declared in the Treaty OF Paris, was,
with the rest under obligation to defend
Turkey in consideration of Turkeys accept
ing and applying in the administration of
its government those conceptions of justice
and fair dealing toward the people subject
to her rule which are the recognized bases
of politics in Western countries. Turkey
pledged herself to that as her part of the
contract. But she never performed her
part, and her neglect and constant violation
of her pledges were SO fragrant that they
finally produced an insurrection, which,
spreading, threatened the peace of several
States. England was therefore requested
in 1876 TO join with the other countries in
certain urgent representations and impera-
tive demands that the Ottoman government
should live up to its promises but England
refused, in unaccountnble disregard of her
own relations to the case. That refusal made
impossible any concert of the Powers or
any scheme for the moral coercion Of Tur-
key and threw upon those who found
themselves aggrieved the responsibility of
taking the remedy into their own hands.
Hence the war waged by Russia, which has
of the Ottoman Power in Europe is pos
sible. But the extinction of that Power
would be calamity to England. 1t would
not be altogether satisfactory to some other
Powers, but to England it would be most
Objectionable. 1t is her interest that Turkey
shall remain just where she is and. just
what she is. .As governments derive o
revenue from taxes on some infamous pur-
suits, so even Turkeys moral degradation is
factor in Englands wealth. But while the
danger. from Turkeys extinction is clear
enough it is difficult for England to adopt
any preventive measures. Her freedom of
action is hampered by two facts--frst, by
the protest of part Of the nation against
any further partnership with Turkey; next
by the circumstance that her armed force
is utterly inadequate to any effective de-
fence Of her ally. 1t is to find solution
for the difficulties of the case that Parlia-
ment is assembled, and if it seriously ad-
dresses itself to this labor it will find it far
from easy. But the probability is that it
will be simply utilized to save the pride of
a ministry disappointed in the projects of
n net vanity.
