THE omission of the COmte de Paris from

Orleans family. AS the Duke was on very
intimate terms with the COmte and Comtesse

stantly in their company and at their house
during his stay on the REVERB, the oversight
is considered peculiarly unfortunate.
IT is believed that Senator Anthony has

Another star route case has come TO
grief. A Washington jury says that ex-
Senator Kellogg is not guilty Of accepting
a bribe Of $4,000 for using his influence
while a Senator ofthe United States to get
a couple Of star routes expedited. The
world may think what it pleases, but KEEL
logg viii point TO this verdict and defy
anybody to show that it is not true.
In this case the government cannot place
the blame for the result Of the trial on the
jury. The jury under the instructions Of
the court could have returned any other
verdict, and the court under the law could
not have given any other instruction. The
whole fault was with the govern
ment attorneys, who appear to have
Numbered from the very beginning.
They were perfectly familiar with all the
testimony they could produce, and yet
they deliberately made allegations in the
indictments as to dates and the character
of the compensation that was paid to
Kellogg which they could not prove.
They put in false dates so as
to bring the ofense within the
statute of limitations and they al
legged lawful money because, according
to their construction of the law, an ale
CATION Of that kind was required. If they
were bright lawyers they knew there
would be a fatal variance between the al
legations and the proof. Why, then, did
they make such allegations? 1t cannot
be supposed that lawyers who received
500 a day and board and lodging were
stupid and ignorant. The only reasonable
conclusion is that they saw chance to
make further fees out Of the case and
they took advantage of it. Lawyer ker
drew the indictment, and the remark that
Kellogg could not be convicted in Wash
ington came with poor grace from him.
Kellogg certainly could not be convicted
anywhere by bungling like that Of Ker
and his associates. 1t would
have been much better to have
followed George Bliss advice, of which
Ker spoke so sneeringly, relative to put
ting the true dates in the Indictment. The
government would then have had no occa-
sion TO hire counsel to conduct the trial.
The court, Of its own motion, would have
quashed the Indictment.
Whatever the truth may be, that por-
ton Of the public who cares anything
about the matter at all doubtless regards
Mr.. Kellogg as guilty Of violating the law,
and thinks that if he had been Indicted in
time, and properly prosecuted, the result
would have been different. The history
Of the star route prosecutions is not
a history that the government
has reason to feel proud
Of. There was little else than laundering
and stupidity from beginning to end. In
the Dorsey-Brady trials the case was
loaded with such mass of matter that
the jury was muddled, and, therefore, in
capable OF reaching a verdict. There is
only one thing that is certain about the
whole business, and that is that the law
yers who prosecuted the alleged starr route
thieves have done about as well in the
long run, pecuniarily, as the alleged
thieves are understood TO have done. The
government appears to have been vic
tim Of friends and foes. Are the star
route trials ended, or is the farce to 60 on:

The Edmunds-Phelps Affair.

Senator Edmunds is rather proud of his
record as a public man, and it is to his
credit that he is. He thinks that his pub
lie life has been clean, and there is prob
ably no one who will rise up and deny
that it has. Mr.. Edmunds, therefore,
wrote Mr.. William Walter Phelps a
rather sharp letter when that gentleman,
in his ardor to defend Mr.. Blaine, alleged
that Mr.. Edmunds had been a party to
bond transaction very much like that for
which Blaine has been so generally, and,
as many think, so justly condemned.
Mr.. Edmunds did not like the
that plane Of morality on which public
opinion places Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Edmunds
may have accepted the use of public
vessel to bring his family from Nassau to
Charleston, but he is certain that he never
bought railroad securities and then, to
make these securities valuable, voted
land grant to the railroad company that
was liable for them. Perhaps the accept
ance OF the use of a government vessel
was not a matter of such grave moment
when the fact that Mr.. Edmunds is the
President of the Senate is taken into con-
sideratiOn, and the further fact that
government officials have fallen into the
habit Of using public property for private
purposes pretty freely within the last few
years, but to have used his position as
Senator to secure legislation that would
have increased his private fortune would
entitle Mr.. Edmunds to a place beside
in, fbo me a
tattOOed man. Mr.. William Walter
Phelps has the reputation of beng
bright young man, but on several Occa-
sions indications of a lack Of discretion
have cropped out. He may have stated
the facts pretty closely in Mr.. Edmunds'
case, but if Mr.. Edmunds is to be
credited, he stated them in
such way as to create a
false impression. The fact is that Mr..
William Walter Phelps does not appear
to understand the charges against Mr..
Blaine as other people understand them.
1t is hardly reasonable to suppose that he
alone has grasped the truth with regard
to them. Nobody, probably, will blame
him for trying to assist his friend Blaine as
long as he uses only honorable means, but
he will hardly be permitted to retain the
reputation of a strictly honorable man ifhe
attempts to destroy the advantage of other
candidates which their good names give
them by slandering them. If Mr.. William
Walter Phelps can show that Mr.. Blaine's
reputation as a public man was not
stained by the Mulligan business, he
ought to he able 70 do it without asserting
that Mr.. EdmUnds engaged in the same
sort Of transactions. Even if EdmUnds
were guilty. that wouldn't help Blaine.
Perhaps Mr.. William Walter Phelps did
not aim so much to show Blaine's purity
of character as he did to damage Ed
munds, who is daily growing more prOmi-
nent as a Presidential candidate. If that
were his purpose, he ought to be forced to
prove his charges. A man who uses the
methods of pot-hoUse politicians ought
not to be allowed to pose as a gentleman.

Keene,s Failure.

The failure of James Il. Keene, the
great New York stock gambler, appears to
have Occasioned no surprise in Wall
street, where his weak financial condition
seems to have been known for some time.
Mr.. Keene is almost as well known
throughout the country as Vanderbilt,
Gould, Russell Sage, and other New
York milliOnaires. He made his fortune
in San Francisco, and appeared in Wall
street several years.agO. At that time he
was reputed to be worth about 100000,
and was described as a cool, shrewd
Spectator. His vast fortune, however,
is gone, and it is reported that when his
debts are paid he will not have a dollar.
He is the second millionaire capt.
talist who has been ruined by
stock and grain gambling in Wall street
within the last few months. The other
was Henry Willard, the late President of
the Northern Pacific Railway. Both Viii
lard and Keene were self-made men.
They began their careers absolutely at
the bottom of the ladder Of fortune, and
by their own unaided efforts climbed so
high that they were recognized as among
the money kings of the world. They Will
soon be forgotten unless they possess suf-
fcient recuperative power to regain the
places they have lost. The great busy
world has no time to mourn over
the wrecks. The pursuit of wealth is so
eager and so incessant that there is time
only to give a passing thought to those
who are stranded on the financial shoals.
1t is pity that men do not know when
they have enough. They are as anxious
to accumulate their second million as they
were TO accumulate their second thousand.
They console themselves with the thought
that at some time in the near future they
will retire and enjoy their wealth. Few,
however, retire of their own accord. They
are retired by disaster or death.

unaccOuntable meanness of spirit, seeks to
dissuade the generosity of the nation appealed
to for the benefit of manned and crippled Con-
federate soldiers. 1t would have us believe
there is no need for such aid. The nation is
paying out fifty or sixty million dollars per
year in aid of Union veterans, and it is an
imputation upon the fighting quality Of these
sOldiers to say that no manning or wOunding
was done to their opponents which should en-
title them to help and pity. The Atlanta
