The Kellogg Case.

There Is something remarkable in the
way the star route case against ex-Sena-
tor Kellogg Is managed. The Attorney
General seems to be trying to impress the
public with the belief that he is doing his
best to convict Kellogg, al the same time
very little is being done to secure his con-
vietion. The trial Of the case has already
been postponed a half dozen times. KEEL
Iogg always claims to be ready, while the
government continually begs for delay.
The Attorney General is very careful to
keep the public informed Of every move
he makes to secure the attendance Of the
witness Walsh. This man Walsh has
come to be one of the best advertised men
in the country. If he were only in some
business which required that his name
should be kept before the public his for
tune would be made. He appears 10 be
an impudent and an independent sort Of
fellow. He writes letters to the President
and the Attorney General. which, while
couched in respectful terms, are, 10 say
the least, impertinent. At last 1t seems
he has concluded 10 abandon his Canada
retreat and TO appear in Washington as a
witness against Kellogg. 1t is pretty safe
to conclude that he viii never say any
thing that will implicate Kellogg, if, in fact,
he ever appears as a witness against him.
He and Kellogg are old cronies, and if he
wanted to see Kellogg punished he would
not be so slow in giving his testimony. He
wanted kellogg indicted, but for what
reason It must be left to conjecture. That
he does not want him convicted is appa-
rently plain. Further developments in
this really remarkable case will be
watched with a good deal Of curiosity.

Speaker CarIisle's Proposed Tariff
=napnh

1t was announced several days ago that
Speaker Carlisle had determined 10 make
a speech in support Of the Morrison bill.
II seems that his determination does not
meet the approval Of some Of his party
associates. Those who do not approve
doubtless belong TO the Randall faction.
1t IS said they claimed that it was IN
usual and unprecedented for a Speaker
70 take a prominent part in the
debates. A little investigation, it ap-
pears. shows they were mistaken. There
is plenty Of authority for doing what Nr.
Carlisle proposes TO do. He Is hardly the
man 70 disregard either the traditions OF
the Unwritten laws Of the House. II Is
probable that Mr.. Carlisle satisfied HIM
self that it was proper for him to take
part IN the tariff debate before making pub
lie his purpose 10 do 50. The opponents
Of the Morrison bill undoubtedly would
like TO prevent Nr. Carlisle from speak
ing. He led the opposition to the tariff
bin adopted last Congress, and showed
that he was the best informed member on
either side Of the House with respect to
tariff matters. He will be able 10 give rea-
sons why the Morrison bill should pass that
will not be easy 10 answer. He will brace
up the weakened members Of his own
party and make the path Of duty clear to
them. Mr.. Carlisle hasn't determined TO
make tariff speech TO secure applause or
10 add 10 his prominence. He Is singu-
lazy modest man, and shrinks from,
rather than courts, public notice. He
doubtless feels that he has a dIty to per-
form, and he is the sort Of a man who does
not shrink from the performance Of any
duty. He is a tariff ref0rmer, not because
he thinks tariff reform is popular and
viii be still more popular in the near
future. but because ne sincerely and con-
scientiously believes that the best interests
Of the country demand a reduction Of the
tariff. His speech viii be the event Of the
present tariff debate.
