THE CASE or LdLLT.

The r,ffian who had "pull'' with Police
Justice Hogan has found that he has no "pull''
with the District-AttCrney and, well assured
that he has none with the Grand Jury. he is
believed 10 have left the city. There is no
doubt that Lally will be indicted, and there
ought to be no doubt that he will be brought
back to stand trial. The facts in his general
career and in this particular case are simple.
He has always been quarreSOme insubOrdlnate
and hard diinkcr; and always, drunk or
sober, blacliguard But the violent aiiIays
| in which he had been engaged before his APP
pOintment as Il Bridge policeman, and the Of
fences of which he was guilty while serving in
that capacity. lid not diminish his value to the
Tammany politicians who procured a place for
him. At last, however, the Bridge trustees
were forced to take cOgnizance Of an assault
! which be had made Oh his superior officer and
he was dismissed. Not even this misfortune. as
events have proved, cost him the approval and
friendship of his hackers.
Soon after his dismissal while drunk and
therefore more turbulent and dangerous than
usual, he went into a low bar-room near the
waterfront and demanded liquor. The bar
keeper Delati knew his man, and refused to

GOTEPNOR ETSSELLS OPINIONS.

Governor RUSSELL of Massachusetts. writes to
eX President Cleveland that the apparent sup
port hy the Democrats Of the proposition for
free coinage arose from the earnest and Just
desire 10 kill the Force bill''; that New
England is rapidly becoming Democratic be-
cause of the position that party has taken on the
tariff question:" and that the party cannot af
ford to impair public confidence in it by its
action as 70 silver Rendered into English. this
means that the party bought up several silver
lunatics to Kill the Election bill by casting votes
which were and were deliberately intended to
be- Of not the slightest practical benefit to the
silver interest.
TIE TRIBUNE has 10 unbOundcd affection or
admin alton for the Democratic party, but feels
impecd to rcpel this unjust aSpersion. Bad as
Democracy may be, this charge is surely I'M
warranted. The great majority of Democratic
Senator'S had voted early last session for free
coinage of silver, and nearly all the Democratic
members of the House voted the same way
There was then no bargain TO account for these
votes. They were in fact an expression of the
will Of a large majority of Democratic voters.
No man who has watched the course of events
OIL this subject can be ignorant that, ever since
sistible tendency of Democratic opinion has been
toward dcbauchment Of the currency, through
silver coinage. a. the only way remaining open.
If the Democratic party has ever had any pub
lie confidence on the money question: it has not
been perccptible to the naked eye.

ayers knew that the Republican party would
be compelled to resist that policy, because it
would aSsail those conservative and business
interests which have repeatedly upheld that
party by their confidence. Against this money
power as Democratic demag0SueS have been
fond of calling it, all the Western and Southern

4 UILD PROPNSITION.

Mr.. Sweet the member from the new STATE
of Idaho, has introduced an extraordinary bill.
He piopoScS that any National bank attempting
TO degrade the currency of the country by de-
handing gold in payment of any loan shall for
felt its c,arter. \ preamble of his bill rcc,cS
that certain National banks are at present re-
fusng to lend money EXCEPT upon contracts
payable in gold, and aflirmS that this tends to
degrade the currency Of the country. But Mr..
Sweet is probably aware that it will he found
exceedingly difficult not to say impossible, for
even the Congress of the United states to com
pei any bank to lend money unless it chooses
and considers the lean safe one. II the
officer, or directors OF the bank do not consider
the loan cXpediont or safe. they are in no way
Obliged to give to anybody 4 reason for that
opinion. and can simply decline to make the
loan. The proposed legislation, il Congress
could be foolish enough to adopt IT, would only
result in refusal of the banks to make loans
under any circumstances. save where the bor-
rover, should themselves consent to give obli-
cations of kind deemed satisfactory. But
then some nearby individual. friend of the
officers OF the bank would incidentally be found
having the money to lend. and being able TO
borrow il from the bank himself.
The member from Idaho is mistaken is he
supposcs that il is possible by an act Of Con-
gIc>S TO force anybody to lend money unless
he wants 10, and perhaps he can comprehend
the meaning Of his bill little better if he will
imagine himself a. having some money to lend
and being required by a law Of the State Of
Idaho t. lend il all to the iiISt tramp who may
