Sheehan. The new Sheriff of Krie County ls rertaln to be Sheeba n's choice. 1 *> ?? Signs are not absent thal Thomas F. Gilroy ls in training as Mr. Croker*s successor in the Tammany leadership. That this Important post ls to be conlhlcd permanently to John McQuade ls Extremely unlikely; doubtless he was put there tcm-virnrlly, to lill the gnp until the real lender should be selected or available. That Mr. Gilroy ls qualifying for the place is af least suggested by tho fact that many Tammany men aro finding their way to the City Hall these days. 'Hie callers were ko numerous yes terday, for example, that Ta mn ia ny I res were reminded of the Wigwam after the return of tho Boss from a few days' absence. Apjiarcntly word has gone out quietly that Gilroy is tho coming man; nesca tho desire of the "lenders," grear aud small, to make themselves "solid" with him. Granger sprang Into widden eunspicuity n week ago; then vanished Imo complete ob? scurity. Will he reappear, and again go on the wltness-srnud in the police investigation? These conundrums arc still to he answered. How diligent the efforts to lind Granger have been ls a matter on which some people would like to have light thrown, Despite the auxloty man? ifested for his reappearance, it was said at Police Headquarters yesterday ttint no warrant for Granger's sires! had been issued. A M.mut Vernon lawyer has boen In communication with the fugitive, however, and if he were wanted badly it would seem as if ho might be discov? ered without great nimble Farther stops wera taken yesterday in tho direction of securing an emphatic expression from the business mon of New-York in opposl tion to tho proposed Income tax. The plan agreed on was to call a mass-mooting at tho Carnegie Music Hall on Friday evening nf this week. The committee which mot yesterday adopted resolutions denouncing ihe Income tax as tmneceesary, Indefensible, Inquisitorial and Socialistic in principle and tendency. There will be no difficulty In securing a large attend? ance at a meeting In this oily to echo and In? dorse these sentiments, and tho character of tho men Interested is a guarantee that lt will be a representative gathering. The effect of such a protest as this will be against this odious bill remains to be seen. The moro tho Governor's attack on ihe Logts latnre in his speech Saturday night ls studied the more clearly ls bis pettifogging attitude disclosed. Among other things, ho took the Republican hoads of state departments to task for securing increased appropriations, while he ignored the tact tli.it by a roundabout method ho had obtained nu Increase of |6,OO0 In tho appropriation f'-r his own Executive Depart? ment This amount is to be raised by lerylng a tax of 73 coins on each notary public appoint? ed, and out of lt some new officials, t.> be known ns notary clerks, aro to bo paid. This is a petty blt of extravagance which Mr. Flower should have bad in mind before h." lugan to lind fault with small but necessary increased expenditures by the Secretary of State, Controller and At? torney-General. AN OBVIOUS REMEDY 8PUBNED. The most remarkable feature of ihe pros'-nl deplorable business situation is that a remedy for if lies right ai hand, under everybody's face and eyes, with DO prospect of its being used. lt is now well known thal ihe diagnosis of the Democratic financiers and political economists at tho beginning nf the cleveland Administra? tion, which attributed business depression and financial disturbance to the operation of the Silver Purchase law and prescribed ihe repeal of that provision a> a mu'.- cur.', was entirely erroneous. 'lin- law has 1.n repeahd, in CoffhpUance with Mr. Cleveland's prescription, though Republican votes were necessary t.> carry it through a special session of a Demo eratic Congress called for thal sole purpose. Instead of a revival ?.f business tie- conditions nave boen daily growing worse, until now they aro so discouraging that lt is thought necessary to hoi.) public meetings in nil our lari:" cities to bring pressure from th.- people to b?-.ir upon Congress i" hasten legislation of some sort. "Of some sort:'' That ls the cry. Everywhere the i.pie an- saying: "Why doesn't Congress do something anything to relieve the uncer? tainty and start the wheels of enterprise? No matter what it does; ir ought to do something to end the suspense, than whlcb le.thing can lie worse." Ii ls the cry of desperation: of a great people humiliated and distressed lieyond measure by the fact thar all their huslnesf ier>'<*s are in the bands of men ii"t only li potent t" handle thom skilfully, but unable :.. let thom alone. With this situation confronting Congress there is, as we have said, a simple remedy at baud, on.- whl. h every member knows would be ellicacious if spplled; and the party In control does not dare report to lt. be? cause to do so would be a ronfeasion of falli? bility and weakiies-;. What ls the rem,-dy? Ask any business man, manufacturer, tradesman, banker or broker. Democrat or Republican, what the effeci would be if tho party in control of tl),- Henate should Within the next twenty-four hours signify a purpose to drop the Tariff bill upon which they are wasting so much time nnd energy .-md temper in vain endeavors io barmonixe, and proceed to tho consideration of other pending measures. Or what would lie ihe effect If the majority In the Senate should simply vote tn postpone further consideration of the bill until next December? Not ona business man In ten thousand would hesitate a moment to say that, in his Judgment, such action would be followed by a revival "f confidence prerywhero, whl.-li in a few days would sot wheels and spindles In motion in silent mills, kindle lins in ile.nl furnaces and f'.rg.-s. start again the prosperous music ,.f hammer and anvil, put new life Into all the currents of trade and commerce and change th.' whole aspect of affairs. Candid Pren Traders nnd revenue reformers will make tim admission, though perhaps reluctantly, that th" effect of ti cessation or suspension of the tariff agitation lu Congress would be a speedy revival in business. Why ls il not done? Sim? ply because th" Democratic party now in con? trol of Congress baa committed it-..-if to certain notions of tariff reform, and is obstinately bent on tile experiment of putting them in practice at whatever cost to tbe country. The leaders who have made a hobby of tariff reform, and are no doubt sincere In their belief that a tariff for revenue only will eventually promote the general welfare, are wedded to their theories, and having DOW, as they think, ll.importunity, Which may never come again, to put them in practice, are determined not t.? lose u, what? ever may be the temporary distress I' occa? sions. They admit that th" treatment ls drastic, but Insist that at some time In the remote future lt win prove to bo the true economic policy and the best thing for Hie country. Meantime business ls pretty nearly at a stand still, awaiting ibo r*eault of the wrangling .ind bargaining and dealing, out of which .something ls expected to come thal will furnish a definite basis upon which for the next two or three yean capital may be invested ant! labor em? ployed. No hann can como to any one by ihe postponement of the tariff discussion until after the Congressional elections next Novem? ber. If th" people are of Hie same mind tlirit the Democratic leaders say they wore ut the last election, and are il esl ions of u repeal of tho McKinley law and the passage of a tariff for revenue only, they will signify it by return? ing n Democratic majority. Fortified by such renewal of confidence, tho present Congress will lind fewer impediments to carrying out tile popular will in December. And it will not be long to wait. If. on the other hand, as ls feared, the people signify by the election of a Repub? lican majority that they favor a Protective In? stead of Revenue tariff, the Democratic party will not have to answer for the blunder of saddling unpopular legislation <>n the country as their first important act after renirnlng to power. All that anybody asks of the piny lu power ll to postpone action upon rdhaal question until the country ian lie polled and the will of the people ascertained. It is g reasonable re? quest for only ii few months' delay. And it ls strengthened by the undeniable fact that If granted lt will have a most beneficial effect upon the business Interests of ihe whole conn try and the welfare of ihe whole people. To pursue tho present purpose In obsiinate dlsre gard of these considerations ls more than a blunder; lt. ls a political crime. Tho party In power ls confronted Dy a most distressing sit? uation, for which tba remedy ls Simple and obvious. It consists merely in assuring the people that during tho next six months lt will refrain from trying experiments. No possible harm can como from such a course. Nothing but mischief can result from any other. SETH EULA SD'S SEE I! ES DER. The voluntary surrender of Sutherland, who escaped from justice after his conviction of oppression lu dealing WTth Gaynor's watchers and copyists last November, will enable tho prosecutors of tho Gravesend lawbreakers to complete their work. The eight new Indict? ments found against him for various felonies would have furnished a basis for his o\tradi tlon from Canada, although be could Dot have boon sentenced, under correct international practice, for foe crime of which ba had boen previously convicted. Ills surrender lias evi dendy been arranged by bis friends, with the understanding that he is to plead culby to ??ue of the new Indictments and then to throw him? self upon the mercy of the court. He ought DOt to bo allowed lo escape with anything less than a term of three or four years lu tho State prison, a maximum penalty would be raevon years, but consideration may properly be asked in return for his surrender and the saving of lime and expense which will bo effected by his pleading to the new ImllotnientR. The escape of Sutherland, while lr Involved n temporary miscarriage of Justice, served a most useful purpose, ir alarmed the bondemen in the etinr cases, forced th.- prosecutors to keep all the indi, tel members of Ibo llravosond gang under surveillance, and speedily cleared Hie calendar, since ali lils associates pleaded gullly and appealed to the Court for morey. Tile collapse of a conspiracy io secure ibo disagree nieil nf .lillies by bribery and perjury was the Immediate effect of his cowardly flight from Brooklyn. Newton and all the underlings made a chan breast of everything that they knew about the Gravesend election, .'ind by their eon ft>?s ,.ns established Heir own guilt ns well as Mi-Kane's and Sutherland's. All Hie details of Hie conspiracy to evade Judicial processes and to ca>t a fraudulent rote on a grossly padded registry ware revealed, sutherland was a most useful fugitive from Justice, although his ser? vices to tin- state were unpremeditated. Now that h.- has returned after two months of exile iii Montreal, prosecutors have reason to be grateful to him. although they are not under obligations to be Unduly lenient In dealing with him. Justice reoulres thal he should be sentenced t.< sing sing, where Morlane is pay? ing ii i-igh:e,u> penalty fe* odious crime. The only member "f ihe Oravesend gang who can be said to have cheat.tl Justice is Newton, who turned State's evidence most opportunely for his ..wu Interests. 'I'll.- facility with which this audacious gang of lawbreakers bas been broken up increases tb" feeling >>t public amasement that they should nave been allow,tl t.minot fraudulent .le.-tions for a long period without molestation. Defiance of Injunctions from two courts nnd malicious and oppressive prosecution nf 'Jay ii..r's r.-pi-.-s.-iitatlves were Hi.- .-lily Dew els ments In Hu' conspiracy of last November fear nft.T y.-ar the registry b.ui been artificially padded snd the vote fraudulently Increased These crimes were Dotorlous; the registry li*ts and the election returns were reeking with fraud; yet no attempt was made t.? bold Mc Kane and his lieutenants accountable for what they were doing <>r to prevent tie- recurrence of these outrages. When public ..pinion wis aroused, nnd the IMstri.-t Attorney's office was placed in ihe bauds ..f bones! wwyeVs, 'he <-..| lapse of the Gravesend ring followed wttb astonishing rapidity. Then the truth s is re? vealed thal Mi Kane. Suth'-rland and Newt..ti I were ignorant and weak men. without other | resources than audacity and b talent for low political Intrigue The liistrlct Attorney's othes could have secured their ron viet lon long ugo if lt had taken Up the prims facie evidence of fraud disclosed by the registry ami 'he election returns. The reap sjslbillty fir a lung series of election outrages rests there Notorious crimes were connived st, i mdoned and Instigated fear after year by ihe n . snd Inaction of pub1.c prosecutors whose sworn duty lt was t.> protect the Inti rests of the Btate. PULLING Dows THE FLAG. The Canadian private appears DOl to have yet heard that Hie British Lion and the American Eagle have made lt all Dp and ar.- going to live like Aral cousins hereafter: to light each other's battles, land each other money, and <\., :iii they can for each other, letting ihe r.-t of the world look ni' t-<r Itself and get out of Hie way of the gr.-at ci,n.inering English-speaking race, which possesses th" clearest right, as |t rh es the most certain prospect, of Inheriting the earth and restoring an Image of Roman author Itv around ItS entire periphery. Thai ls what was practically soded the other Dight In LoO don at the banquet to the chicago's otaVcra, with Captain Malian, author of "Sea Tower In History," ns a front figure. The Britlab Ltoo there roared you gently as any sucking il.iv", and iii" Eagle mi Hs part, not to be outdone when civilities were going, squawked placidly and smoothed a hundred years of ruffles out of Its feathers; both voicing harmony and eoneofd and eternal fraternity and nulty several times In the remark that blood is thicker than water, and i.th.-r like affectionate and demonstrative formularies of speech not much nsisi in dlpw matie negotiations ..r political adjustments, im: brought forward now and then on occasions of International feasting, ns if the whole thing Were (1 Hew Idea. If lb" Canadian private bad leard of this unofficial bm solemn concordat he would not have pulled down tho American Count* flag at St. Thomas Hie other night, getting himself Info no end of hot water and sending u thrill of apprehension from .me end of the world to th.- other. It ls to bo said for these- misguides! soldiers, first, that they wore drank, nnd next.

No less an authority than the esteemed "Mil? waukee Journal," which enjoya the distinction <.f being considered as the es].lal organ of the Hon. 'William F. VI las. ls responsible for the Sentiment that Senator Mills was quite right In refusing to m.et Mr. Hnvemoyer. of New York, on a certain famous occasion. My way of ex? plaining this proposition "Tho Journal* informs us that "other members of the Senate Unve been charged with having given way to trust Infill ences Iii tho shaping of ibo Tariff bill." We are told further that Mr. Mills knew thal "the baron of the Tmsr wns in Washington" jit Hie lime, and are then gravely informed that lt would have been a waste of time anyhow to listen to Mr. Bavemeyer*S arguments and as? severations, since Mr. Mills had made a life? long study of Hi" sugar question, and on that subject his "education was complete." And then, as If this were not richness enough for one day even In Senator Vilas's organ, the esteemed "Journal" concludes with tho follow? ing burst of wisdom: It ls wi! known iliat (i. neral Duller for ninny years before nts death steohrtety refused to roe any Bronana in private, bo mutter waa) sst business mlKht purport to r>-?. Ile l,a,| a constant f.iir of bStng made the victim of tho fSBJMUs M.icknnllor sad for that reason he always Insisted that there ahould be a witness present at nil interviews with one of the sex. -Nobody, perhaps, will ev er kuow whether if ls Intended in this Ingenious and profound ut? terance to accuse Mr. Have-mover of bein* a blackmailer or a female. Wo are not sure. In? deed, it U important that anybody should knav. What really concerns the public is the doolira tion hero Implied that a Democratic statesman, charged willi the formulation of legislation that affects millions of Invented capital and the living of thousands of American workingmen, ls warranted In looking upon the represent* ativo of snell an enterprise as a deep-dyed villain with whom lt ls Improper lo speak, nnd to whoso respectful statements lt is sinful to listen. We rjo not undoi'iake to analyze tho proposition. Whether it means that the repre? sentatives of great industries are necessarily tho objects of Democratic hostility, or whether the implication ls that Democratic statesmen cannot bo misted within ann's length of a flve dollnr note, we do not dare to guess. It ls enough to know that tho esteemed "Journal's" hypothesis involves ono or tho other of these propositions, and to fool that with either of them tho Democratic party must bo sufficiently In evidence. To what extent, if tiny. Senator Mills will thank Senator Vilas bu- ibis vindication through the medium of tho latter's particular organ, we shrink from conjecturing. Thar ls a conundrum which may with propriety be referred to tho gentleman from Texas. But th.mntry will not forgot that two such Democratic authorities ns Senator Mills and "The Milwaukee Journal" maintain tho theory that great American Indus? tries aro tho appointed victims of Democratic legislation, and that the representatives ,,f those Industries are pariahs with whom lt ls danger? ous to come In contact. AN OS LY OS E. Tim veto messages which Governor Plower's young man prepared for Executive signature and i roroulgatlon during the period of thirty days following Hie adjournment of the Logia tatura were sufficiently wearing to flesh .ind spirit. Conaequentl) there was general rejoic? ing when that dismally employed opportunity ended by constitutional limitation last week. It was conceded thal the people need.sl and de? served a rest, and that an Interval of silence and seclusion prior to th" opening of his agri? cultural fair campaign would be Hie sweetest boon which tin- Governor could confer upon tho community. But that cheerful expectation'of relief was cruelly disappointed on Saturday evening under the auspices of the Democratic club. Moreover, tbe circumstances rendered so unexpected a frustration of cherished hopes peculiarly gallinr;. It was an occasion of hos? pitality. The function was a dinner. The In? tention of (hose who paid for lt was io (infuse happiness. The Governor was a guest lu fact, Hu- pies* The speech with which he asl Hie compelpy was not merely an error of Judg? ment, lt ?:is ri breach ..f faith. What a sp.-,- h it was' it was a condensation by th" Governor's young man of ail the veto messages which he had spent thirty days and night* In fabricating. It was embellished here .?ind there, to be sure, from the accumulations of n treacherous memory, but In substance lt wa** tl..- s.u.id familiar perversion of recent f.H-ts lt wis a reissue ,,f the coarse and stupid fiction which has been distributed from the Executive- Chamber f.r th.- last four wo<-k< Once more the Governor described the Repub? lican majority whom the people sept t-> Albany to overthrow a fraudulent despotism SS faith Selflsh and extravagant, and declared that h.- alon.- hid sa v.

There an; rea? sons, mostly v. tv plain ..-les. why members "f Hu- Governor'i party should 1"' classified as Cleveland Democrats or Hill Democrats; but when li- says that Hnre ls i... reason why any of them should be classified as Rower Demo? crats ho hits the bullseye Moreover, lhere i^ not only no reason for such fl classification, but then ls no such clasalflcatlon.

A CONDITION, Sol A THEOET. Ti... Democratic Rena tors, who have been whipped Into lire iii supp.it ,.f the Gorman bill, iittlrm willi ..ne dinsenl that lt will yield a surplps <,f n venue. Th,, estimates of' this surplus differ widely, but Senator Gorman, nen ator Jones and .di the leaders admll that it will b" large ami that lt will Increase rapidly with th.- restoration of prosperity. Thej describe the Wilson lilli as lt left Hie House as a m. e ure for creating a deficit, and claim for them selves the m.tn of having i rn nsf on.I the de lb lem y into uti overflowing surplus that will be mote (lian ample f..r meeting the require ments of th" Government. We are not concerned at this tim,, with th. gen. ral accuracy of these estimates, but for the sake of Hie argument accept them ai Hi.'ir full value. Lei it be granted thu the Gorman Sen ai.trial combine boa patched up a tariff which will not onl] enrich Hie trusts but will also create a surplus. What follows? Them* Sen? ators ai'.' deliberately reproducing a condition of linn.sary surplus revenue, against which President Cleveland Inveighed lu the strongest possible terms in 1887, as the following passage from lils famous tariff message plainly shows: rtoth ni' th" grsal political parties now repre ?anted in tie' Qovsmmsni have, nv repeated and authoritative dsclaratioi . condemned thc condition of our laws wiii.tt permits Hi.- collection front t;.. people of unnsrssssry revenue, ami have, in the most s?i.'iiiii manner, promised its correction; .ucl neither as cltissna nor partisans ure our country? men in a mood to condons tbe deliberate violation of Umss pl sd gsa ?'ar progress toward a arise con* elusion win not be Improved by derailing upon tho theories, of protection itel tn-*- tr ole Tills savors too much of bandying epithets it is n condition which confronts us not a thc.r>-. Relief fr..tn (lils on.inion may Involve a nllKht reduction of tbe advantage which irs award our home productions, but the antila withdrawn! of such advantages shouij not bs cootemplated. The question ot frss trade tn absolutely Irrelevant; and the persistent claim in a. le in certain quarters Hint all efforts, to relieve the people from unjust and unnecessary taxation are BChSUMS of no-called free tnei.i s I mlSCbleVOUS and fur removed from any c.insider.( tJoa for the jrtibllc good. The alinple and plain duty which we owe the people ls to reduce taxation to the necessary expense* of an economical op rs Hon of the Government, nnd to restore to the bual ne*a of the country the money which we hold In tbs "treasury through the perversion ot Govern iii"iitai powers. If ihi' Senators are Sincere in their declara? tions that the Gorman Tariff will yield a very large surplus, lt bj their duty, President Cleveland himself being the witness, "to reduce taxation to the necessary expenses ,,f :iu ,.,-,,. Domical operation of tho government." Tiny med not waste time nor beat the air In dwell? ing upon the theories of Protection and Five Trade. "This savors too much of bandying epithets." It lu a condition which confronts them, imf a theory. Instead of legislating willi premeditation and deliberation for providing surplus revenues, they ought nt mice to pay hetti to President Cleveland's historic warning nnd lo avoid levying unnecessary and oppres? sive taxation. Let them drop the Income and sugar taxes nt once, since according to their own confident assertions their Trust and So- j clnlistle bill will yleJd surplus revenues which are not needed for legitimate government pur p. san, A bill of sale to the mo?: rapacious trusts in the country cannot be regarded as a statesman? like compromise. It resembles the bargain made with the priests of the temple by one Judas. The essence of the transaction ls a base and sordid betrayal of party principle. Another building In the "old brick row" at Yale has ben devoted to destruction. The chief wonder ts that these ancient edifices did not burn up long before lt became necessary to pull them down. They never made the slightest pretence Of being fireproof, and they have been Inhabited by many generations of young fellows who never gave a thought to embers, lamps, matches or cigar stumps as a prolific cause of conflagrations. "One at a time," seems to be the rule of pleas? ant days "about this time." Assemblyman Butts and his Tammany Hall compatriots are pluming themselves mightily on tbe enactment of the Five-cent Fare bill, and claiming all the credit therefor. Just like them. Bul Mr. Butts was In the Legislature last year and tried Just as hard to get his bill through th.-n. but In vain.
