The case Of Richard II Key, charged with robbing
letters whilst engaged q clerk In the Baltimore
Pest once is being argued before the jury in the
United States District Court. Judge Heath yesterday
decided that the confession made by the accused to
Mr. Buchanan WIS inadmissble, but that ell the other
teinony even though brought to light In the course
Of recovering the money, through this confession was
admissible, but that the confession must not DO re-
sorted to, to explain substantiSte any such
Bony. The probability therefore, Is that the jury will
not agree, as without the confession, some are of
opinion that he cannot be legally convicted.

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 26. 1919.

N - Gen. TAYLOR promised to elevate the
standard Of official excellence, and, in our
opinion, he has kept this promise, 50 difficult
Of execution, almost to the letter, in the ex-
ercise Of the appointing power thus far.
Whatever difference Of opinion there may be
between US and our opponents, respecting
some half dozen prominent appointees, who
are, necessarily from their position, shining
marks for the enemy's arrows, there is none,
so far as we have seen, respecting the Col
lectors Of Customs for the ports Of Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New Orleans. Many Of the Democratic
papers have spoken, in the highest terms, Of
their qualifications, integrity and fidelity in
the performance Of public trusts, and none,
so far as we have seen, have accused them
Of any deficiency whatever. All agree that
they are eminently fitted for their several
positions. Every one Of TEN is merchant,
bred to the laws and felicitous influences Of
commerce. They are all men, who have
the confidence Of the masses with them, in
greater or less degree. AT no time in
the history Of the government, do we remem-
Der to have read Of such galaxy Of names
Of persons holding the colectorships Of the
above-named ports. To the honest doubters
Of the sagaci.y Of Gen. TAy.oR, il, indeed,
there be any, Of which we have great doubts,
these appointments ought TO and viii furnish
ample evidence, that they have wronged
the old Chief. As we cannot know the ex-
csllence Of any one thing beyond another,
without comparison, n mere statement of the
names Of the present and the late collectors
Of those ports, will furnish a theme, which,
il carefully reflected upon, will satisfy every
intelligent and candid reader Of the pre-em-
nent superiority Of the present incumbents
over their immediate predecessors, in all the
essential and desirable accomplishments for
public Office, admitting, what we have no
intention Of denying, that the integrity and
fidelity Of each Of the parties are equally
unauestioned.
