Speaker Kerr's Case.

The themes Of yesterday were the decoration
ceremonies and the Harney testimony. With re-
gard to the latter the general verdict was one Of
SORROW that the inevitable effect Of Injury to Mr..
Kerr must follow. 1t was even feared that Mr..
kerrs physique would be unequal TO the trial.
He had a chill yesterday, bat was feeling pretty
well last night. Harney went to New York on
M0oT. N NeT ang Yotk cS nd Dis
trict Attorney Bliss have been summoned, and
the effort Of the defense now is to break down
s This Viii % Ss %dsuit @ task for @ Garney's Harm record
is good, and he has never been on the witness
stand before. 1t places Nr. Kerr in an exceed
worst liar in America. Some charge q conspiracy,
but the general verdict is that there must be
something in the matter, conspiracy or no con-
been known as thoroughly honest, and has borne
a character above reproach ever since he hrst
came to Washington. But the Democrats started
this mud machine. and L would be wonderful II II
did not splash both wa.s.
The characters of men in official Iifs are now so
lightly considered that Hon. Fernando Wood and
other gentlemen have announced that they will
not be candidates for reelection. MIR. Wood,
who has for the past forty years been politician
says he retires in disgust, and wants to become a
gentleman by stepping out Of public life. An
other prominent Congressman retires because no
public mans character is safe from attacks that
may be brought up against bis unborn grand
To-day the case of MIR. Kerr will go on. 1t is
hoped by some that the witness, Harvey, like
Deil, Lyon, W nltley, JOnnsOn, Selyei EoIBusOu
and other Democratic witnesses, will swear that
he (Harney) is thief, torger, periurer, black
mailer, assassin, liar and dead beat. But all
such hopes are vain, for Harney will not swear to
any such things. 1t is, as II now stands a ques-
tion Of veracity between Mr.. Harney and Mr..
Kerr. The latter is known here to be man, not
only Of purity Of character but in the strctest
sense Of the words, and, as his reputation has
never before been assailed he is entitled TO the
nine out Of q hundred people here believe Mr..
Kerr speaks truly, but the mud machine is in
operation and every person In official life whether
Republican or Democrat, is liable to be smirched
by il, either deliberately or accidentally.

with bad humor for several years. which she in
herited from her parents. We have tried several
physicians and great many different kinds OF medi-

caed that we had almost despaired of her being
any better. Hearing OF the VEGETIyE resolved
to try once more, and she commenced using II last
March, and has been improving In health ever since
From 104 pounds she has advanced to l35 pounds,
having gained 81 pounds in seven months, and is
now able TO be about her work. In short, she be-
neves that VEGETISE has been the means OF saving
her life, and that she cannot say too much in Its
praise. II II pcases you to make use OF this state

teen bottles and is still using It, and can safely
