WHY rs CONNOLLY IN HIDINGy

The readers of THE TRIBUNE alone are
aware of the fact that Mr.. Connolly, late Con-
troIcr, is now in hiding, and that his retreat
is unknown to the officers of the law. We
published this information ten days ago, and
were met with the usual amount of abuse and
denial. But on Friday last District Attorney
Garvin gave positive and final confirmation
Of our statement in the case of Baulch and
Haggerty, the voucher thieves. Mr.. John
Graham, the attorney for these worthy people,
appeared in the Court Of Oyer and Terminer
and demanded that their trial should be pro-
ceeded with Tomorrow Mr. Garvin had no
objection, provided he could be sure OF the
attendance of his most important witness, MI
Richard b. Connolly; he had been for some
time past endcavOring to discover where
subpena could reach Mr.. Connolly, but thus
far without effect. HE therefore asked for
another week to find out COnnolly'S where
abOuts, or to determine what course to take
in his absence.
Mr.. Graham made this admission OF the
District-AttOrney a pretext for renewed clam0r
that his clients should either be Immediately
tried or admitted to bail. They were getting
fractions, he said che had difficulty in re-
"sraining them.r He went on to cast some
nsinuations at THE TRIBUNE, after his manner,
for the statements we had made in regard TO
the absconding Controller.
We made those statements with sufficient
defnitencss, and we now repeat them. Mr..
John Graham did convey to Richard b. Connolly
an ntimation that, if he appeared as witness
against his clients, he would use against him
the evidence he pretcnds to have of Connolly s
conviction in Philadelphia of some crime.
What that crime was, or whether the cOnvc-
ton was ever really made, has not been stated
in THE TRIBUNE. The fact of Mr.. Graham 3
intimidation of the ex-COntrOller is beyond qucs-
ton. Upon this, Connolly disappeared, and Mr..
John Graham alleged as reason for his DIS
appearance his fears of exposure as crlm-
inal. Mr. Graham is a successful and shltty
advocate of the baser sort. He leaves no
stone unturned to save his clients. The meas
ures he adopts to that end he takes with full
view of his responsibility. But he does not
edit THE TRIBUNE, and any attempt on his
part to misrepresent or arraign Its motives
will be as fruitless as it is impertinent. In
the light of the well-suppOrted statements we
have made about the disappearance OF Con-
molly, pennywOrth of mOdesty and reserve in
his demands for trial of his clients, in the
absence of the most important witness against
them would be highly becoming to Mr.. John
Graham.

4 POINT WHICH MR.. SHERMAN HAS NOT
CONSIDERED.

CONSIDERED.
Senator John Sherman is in the main so fair
minded and judicious that we wish he could
have afforded a little more time to an elemental
study of the Tariff question. He reasons so
forcibly from his premises that we deeply re-
gret his unfamilarity with premises that seem
to us most vital We will illustrate our mean
ing by the trite example of Iron.
The use of Iron is rapidly increasing through
ont the civilized world. 1t is now quadruple
what it was half a century ago, yet Is extend
ing in still augmenting ratio. This country
and Great Britain require more Iron in 1872
than all the world produced in 1922. AT this
moment, Iron is exceptionally dear-n0t
especially in this country but in all countries
because Consumption is in excess of Production.
Our Tariff was last revised, under the lead
of Gen. Schenck, two years ago. violent
clamOr against 1.-THE alleged greed of the Iron
smelters induced that veteran legislator to
consent to reduction of the duty on Pig
Iron from 50 to 81 per tun. We protested
then, as we !are protesting to-day, but were
Overborne.
What was the result The erection of fur
naces, which had till then been active aud
vigorous, was checked. Men were reasonably
apprehensive that the FreeTrade clamOr for
the abolition of all tax on the impOrta-
ton of Pig Iron would soon prevail. We
have barely increased our production of
Pig Iron from 100000 tuns in 1869 to
1000, 900 tons in each of the succeeding years
Meantime, the demand has largely increased,
and is still increasing, so that Pig Iron, whether
impOrted or homer made costs our consumers
several dollars per tun more to-day under u
duty of 81 per tun than it did two years ago,
under a duty of 50 per tun.
Had Congress seen fit TO enact in 1870 that
the duty on Pig Iron should thereafter bc so
per tun, our product in 1871 would have been
not less than 100000 tuns, and that of 1872 at
least 100000 tuns. The saving TO our iron
CONSUMERS in these two years would not have
fallen below Twenty Millions of Dollars. But
Congress mistakenly saw in the reduction of
duty by 81 per tun means oil chedpenlng
Iron, and acted accordingly. A majority fan
cicd they were opposing what they called
"thc Pig-Iro lmonopoists," when they were
in fact playing into their hands. We needed
more furnaces TO reduce the price of Iron
and Congress virtually enacted that more fur
naces should not be erected We are paying
for that unwisdom now
Mr.. Sherman, in the face of these facts pro-
noses To try on our r0lng-mills and on our
manufactures generally the identical expert
ment 40 disastrously initiated by Gen. Schenck
with regard 10 our furnaces. lie would seem
TO be Protectionist, yet he talks on this point

Whatever honors may be in the future for Judge
Davis the sem-biographies Of him, that are appear
ing and will be written. may be good reading for the
many gentlemen ambitious for the bench Of the Su-
preme Court. They may learn that while they are
waiting for other mems shoes the proper training
for judicial honor, is not the composing OF bawdry
rhetoric or the pr ctice of ballroom manners; aud
antidote to such habits it may be well for them
TO remember with what rigDr other judges besides
Judge Davis have devoted their time TO sober learn
ing and staid and simple demeanOr. Ii might sur
prise so volatile genius our juvenile Senator TO
learn that some of our highest judges have IN their
earlier training been less partisan politicians than
profound statesmen, and less beaux and blustereB
than conscientious and comprehensive thinkers.
But it is possibly not too late for the lesson to be
learned

It is rather singular that temperance proposition
should be preached in the National Assembly of
wine-drinling France which goes ahead of any
thing ever suggested here in the prohbitory way.
For the first oflense of drunkenness fine is TO be
imposed for the second short imprisonment and
for the third the loss of the rights of suffrage. This,
it must be confessed, is touching Frenchmen in
tender place, for though not much ever comes OF Its
indulgence, they have always exhibited passion
for voting. TO understand how Intellectual the re-
suit of this has been, we have only to remember
that most of the great historical ballots in France
have gone all ono way-mons side, and
thousands in the minority. They have never had
such a thing as Public Opinion in that unfortunate
land, but they have had many an epidemic of no.
tons some of them crafty sangunary. We have
sometimes asked ourselves for how much of political
disorder andrevolutionary excessesin France brandy
drinking may be fairly held responsible. taking
into account congenta lunacies and the Inherited
temperament, and considering both the direct and
indirect effects of sottishness Moreover mObs
are almost always drunken, and French mObs GER
tany have been exception to this rule. But We
think that without any imputation of fanatcism,
we may say that our American politics would be
something vastly different and ineXpressibly nober
if we could thoroughly eliminate from them the
alcoholic elements and Of British politics the
is undoubtedly true. There il something unspeak-
ably absurd in free and Independent clector drunk
and thus drunkenly voting under the supervision of
the friend who invited him to drink and paid for the
liquor In such case, the freedom and the independ-
are not so apparent as we might desire; and
when the noble voter is not only drunk. but disor
derby. and confounds the right Of suffrage with the
right to break his neighbours head the consequences
are douby nfehcitous.

That portion of Mr.. Murphy's testimony

how the losing owner could recover by suit

obliged to seek legal advice before answering
such simple question of Official routine
