What Has Been Accomplished by the Con

TUB ffiOPLI BECOMING THE COMBOLLLVG POWER.
LO.VPOX, J una 7, 18T8.
The condition or English political parties at the
preaeut moment supultes an interesting topio of
public study. Wain and tor*, conservative and
liberal, one bears of n itbiug but "splits" ail the
minors of "splits." Wnst Is the liberal party t
Thai Is me question which has secretly suggested
Itself to many Internu m; uiiuds ol late, and 1 am
by ao means certain that the same answer Has
been uniformly forthcoming. It may sound a
eurtling assertion, out 1 am disposed to thing
that since Sir Kouert Peel's suirsnder la 1*48
lucre has been no snch thing as a political party
whose members were held together by the con*
? training p wer or anv definite principles and
whose alliance rested n,>on any Arm snd Intelligi
ble basis. There have oeeu great and more or lem
ton tin nous Parliamentary majorities, and these
majorities have been lei by eminent statesmen
culling themselves liberals and conservatives, as
the case might be, and have succeeded
tn parsing great measures, but iheir service has
been secured rather bj the personal popularity or
Influence of he lllustrloui individual who acted as
their enter or dv the overrui.ng amhority of the
special legislation on wnlr-h they were bent than
by the inserting power of party itself. Thus the
liberals enjoyed lor upward o' twenty years an
dlspated supremacy under Lord P^imerston, be
cause evert body u?lleved that, while se woald do
nothing rssn, he would do nothing mean, and
that the country was safe In his hands, and be
cause everybody Lied him.
WUAT POLITICS HAD PAt.MIBWTON ?
But Lord I'a'm-rston was not a liberal at alt in
the sense in winch that term is now employed.
You may call Dim a wmg it you like, fur the prin
ciples of Lord Banner-ton were einluently ex
e uslve and artstocra lc, and those were the prin
ciples ot wnigism. It was Lord Palmerston
whose prestige was so great that for upwards of
a quarto.' of a century he delayed the
one measure uu which liberals of all
kinds were resolutely bent, the one measure
wnien could claim to be called distinctively lib
eral?a reform bill. In 18eb Lord Pa.merstoa died,
sad what uappened ? The libera.* attempted a
reform bill, and as a consequence the so-cailea
liberal party Immediately went to nieces. Tne
conservatives came in, and ^lr. Disraeli gave us
household sutfrage.
TUB rnASB OP 1888.
Then followed the general election of 1888, and
the ao-.ailed libe ais were voted to place
and power by an enormous majority. But
wnyf bitnply became tue liberate under Mr.
Ulsdstone conaeu ed to, and the conservatives
under Lord Derby opposed, a great act of
national justice?the abolition of that ecclesias
tical monstrosity, tne Irtsn < hurcb. According to
Mr. Disraeli hon^enold suffrage was a measure
singularly -ntied for the conservative party to
carry, lor he said it embodied tne ideas of Lord
Grenvtlle and Mr. Pitt and the traditional princi
ple* of rtie n.ry party generally. It may be so. 1
snail uot atop to exauiiae tne assertion histor
ically, but will merely remark tnat if it is so a
similar character m got be claimed for the
diseatajlisnmeat of the Protestant Church la
Ireland. Certainty toth Lord Orenviile and
Mr, Pitt, whom Mr. Di-raeli la so lood of quoting,
were ib lavor or considerable modification in tbe
revenues and in tbs etatua of that Cnurcb, and
there was nothing to prevent Mr. Dieraeil eeven
years ago from having urged that if those great
inrbiuaraia it turn in uad Uvea men tiiey wuu d

A Snow 1'LACS.
"Well, there are a good many reasons, and ts I
do not want to he asaasslnated Oy the combined
boiel keepers, who are all known to me, I will be
as oarofal as possible In my statements. To begin
with, the edge is worn off Long Branch. It isn't
as new as It was, aud it lacks novelty. Fire years
ago its sncoess as a watering place had reached
the maximam. But there Is not as much
money going as there used to be. and
for what you get here the prices ars des
perately high. You see Loeg Branch is purely
a watering place and nothing else. It In not
like Brighton, wbloh has a population of SO.orom
the season, and which is a lull grown olty even la
toe winter time. It Isn't like Newport, which is
mil of repose and whlen la frequented br the best
people in the country who desire real enjoyment,
and it baa no shade or back country. It la not
like Dieppe, which bas a cathedral for sentimental
people to Investigate and talk to each other
aboat, It caunot c >mpare with any of the great
Germaa watering p.aces like Carlsbad, Ems or
Wlldbad, where there Is a cultivated and refined
society to be mat with and where, ir you cau't
talk well, Dlay cards or dance, yon have the privi
lege of looking at a king, an euperor, some great
statesman or a picturesque body of soldiery or
peasantry In the colors or the r.inbow. do king
or emperor la likely to visit Long Branch, oar
statesmen are mostly from the slums of New
i York and Brooklyn, and for a sovereign we have
only Grant, who locks himself up from all social
Intercourse excepting with the shoddy people,
who have built up the Branoh. Scarborough, the
Engllsn Newport, is a delightful place to lounge
i Ui, and Long Branch ts no place at all to lonnge
In. 1 can only liken Long Branch to Ramsgute or
Margate, or, perbapa, a combination of the two,

run norm, bills.
"But," said I, in possibly faint deprecation,
"there is tne bluff and the swelling snd sinking
Atlantic. Is It not s grand sight to look at the
billows and breakers come thundering in T"
"Yes, 1 know all aboat that," answered ay
billons acquaintance, "that looks very well in
a story boos, of course, bat you see the twiu,
i hotel bills a man has to pay at the end of tse week
1 destroys all the beauty of the surf. The prices sre
too high lo every sense, and the prises are conse
quent on the expenses el the help, who swarm, so
numerous are they, and the outrageeusly exorbi
tant rents mat are charged to tne hotel keepers.
At any of the large h tela It is impossible to get
board less tuaa $4 AO or $i per day and the extra
expenses. It is very hard lor any man to spend
a week for simple board, and many single men
bere do it, In addition to tbelr regular expenses
in the city; and there are a number of people woo
spend $100 a week and consider themselves cheaply
let olL Mind you, these are single men, wituout
families, who coma hero to enjoy themselves, snd
they have ao wlvss or alsters to dress as expen
sively as they most at thu costly place."
"IT llgULHU A LAtUJB PORTCKE."
"And wbat la tbe remedy far all this expensive
bother r? I then inquired.
"There ia but on* remedy, end that ta that bo*

tbe Dead of "Oar Useful i*o ice," Mr. John Gi sev.
who la auted to be a member of toe Fifteenth
Ward Protective Aaa relation, ta alleged to hare
tended tefore the Assembly Committee on the
Increase of Crime "that William inciter waa a
partner of the eaiate of Mosos Tucker, which in
rladed a numoer or Jlersputabie bouses in Amitr,
Greene and Woo-iter sir ets;" also that "ue aaJ
aak'd Mr. I nciter ear he dnl not let p-o erty ior re
spectuoie purposes, ins.e.id 01 leitmglt to keepera
01 numor*! houses, but me latter replied
tnat ha let tuea to whoover paid moat."
I aiu one or the neira of Moses l ucher. ana to my
own knowledge the leases unuer wnicn It u held
each contain a clause tnat tbe property ia to be
nsed "lor respectable Durpo.es only." Ine rents
are low, ao that respectable people can afford to
aire tbe preun-.es mentioned, and eev r.il of tae
bouses are now emp.y ior '.Be reason ma' they
aie not allowed to be uaed for die eputable pur
poses. 1 destre to aay, inrtner, tuat 1 nevei toid
Mr. John (iilaey that i wou.d let ia- nouses men
tioned to wuoever paid ra?at, and that tne state
inent to that effect ia entirely untrue, aud,
further, that r?r a long lime 1 n.ive had nothing to
do with the renting ol the property mentioned.
