The Confidential secretary's Trial.

The Babcock trial is progressing lively,
and the situation is getting critical for the
confidential secretary Of the President.
By the testimony of one of the witnesses
who collected the proceeds OF the crooked
whisky for the thieves, it is shown thai
Joyce, who disbursed the money and is
now in the penitentiary, mailed in a let
ter, ON one occasion, 5000 Of the sum to
Babcock. 1t is also shown that when
the confidential secretary visited St.
Louis after the indictment of Mcdonald
(who has since been convieted), he ar
ranged to enclose letters for Mcdonald
through q ta;rd party. Three letters
were so sent, each Of wLiol Grimes
delivered to Mcdonald. The suspicious
of the go-between were excited, and he
asked Mcdonald if Babcoek knew any,
thing about the ring. Mcdonald replied
epphatically that he did not This point
was ELECTED b. the defense, on cross
examination, and Babs lawyers we're de-
lighted but their joy was turned to
grief when the District Attorney asked
the witness if Mcdonald did not also
protest his (AIcDonald';) own ignorance
of the ring. The witness replied that
he did. The theory of the prosecution
is that Babcock held at Washington
while the thieves skinned at ST Louis.

the report of the Cardozo Investigating

day for peculation in his Office of Super
5ntendent of Public Instruction, and its

And vet the Times and that ilk have

THE Government is prosecuting Bah
cock, the confidential secretary and asso-
ciate of the President, for conspiring with
Others to rob the country Gifts revenues,
and yet the President himself, the head Of
that Government, makes himself vol
untary witness to save the accused from
the punishment he deserves. This IS not
exactly in accord with his injunction, to
let no guilty man escape.

1t will be seen that the House, by a
vote of 81 to 8, have preferred articles of
impeachment against the Lieutenant
Governor, A. X Davis, for having re-
ceived bride for the pardon of Barren
tine, while acting Governor. No doubt
the Senate will take immediate steps for
the trial of the accused official, when the
testimony on which the articles have been
preferred will be laid before the public.
