Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SAnsAPARILtA In many similar
cases, and he has mover yet heard Of Its fall
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one Of Mr.. LELASD's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor.
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darling pains through the lump, made life
almost intolcrable. Tho leg became enor.
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities Of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of airy
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAyp's direc-
tion, was supplied with Ayers SARsAPA-
nILIA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored tho limb to use.

The slar.Route Rottenness.

NJ Y. World, May %.
Tho rottennees OF the Star-Route prosecu.
tions crops out more and more as the persons
engaged In them tell their stories. The evil
dence is Irresistible that on the part OF some
OF those concerned the whole business was
source OF money-making and disgraceful
farce so far as the cause OF Justice was con.
cerned.
Mr.. Ker, who testified yesterday before the
Springer committee, tells how George Bliss
prevented him from conversing with Corkhill,
Gibson or Cook; how he told Mr.. Bliss that 1t
would be fatal to indict men by their Initials
only, and was compelled TO do so In the case
OF Rerdell and sanderson, whose names MIR.
Blies asserted could not be obtained; how an
incorrect name was furnished In Vale's case /;
how Bliss insisted that Sanderson's name
ought 10 be dropped altogether, and how by
these means the richest OF the alleged conspi.
raiors escaped without trial.
Mr.. Ker further testifles that Bliss would
not shave anything to do with Walsh, who
was the only direct and conclusive witness
against Kellogg and Brady, and that Bliss
tried to get the prosecution to "let Dorsey co."
Mr.. Dorsey has already said that he was
told that he would be "let go" upon payment
OF $4,000 in money, but that he declined,
and he has asserted his belief that Sanderson,
Vale and others were "let go" at a cost OF
100000.
Mr.. George Bllss is the nearest and most
confidential bosom friend of President Arthur.

lion did not stand closely behind him In these

The police reports have been toeming for
the past few days with reports Of dead infants

taken Into custody Of the police.
CRITIC reporter inquired OF Major OF Police
Dye this afternoon to what extent the slaugh.

The official replied that the shocking habit
OF mothers numbering and abandoning their

extent.

meeting will be tho battle-royal between tho
four fastest PAGERS In the world-Buffalo Girl,
Fuller, Billy =. and Richball. All these horses
have records below 2 ;15, and as the track has
been specially prepared for the side wheelers,
and Will be as level as u billiard table, there Is
o reasonable probability that the fastest pac-
Ing time on record-2 :10h--will be beaten.

MR.. MERRIcK's testimony before the
Springer Committee is looked forward to
with interest. Judging from what pre-
vious witnesses have said, Mr.. Merrick
knows thing or two about tho conduct of
the prosecution in the Star-Route cases.
He promises to be decidedly interesting.
he has written note to Mr.. Springer,
saying that he will testify fully and freely.
His opinion Of George Bliss will be worth
having.

If there is any good reason why the en-
ployes of the House of Representatives
should not receive as much pay per month
as that given to those of the Senate
for the same class of work we have never
heard it. The House employees do just as
much work, and DO it as WELL for about 25
per cent less salary. This is not right, If
the Senate employees are getting too much,
cut off aportion of their pay. We do not
believe they are, though. There is and can
be given no good reason why the pay of the
employees of the two Houses should not be
eaualiZed.

IT may be all right for the contractors
who are building the new water works to
establish a store with view of supplying
their laborers with tho necessaries of life,
but they have not the right to charge their
men third moro for provisions to supply
themselves and families than is charged
elsewhere. To do justice to their laborers
they ought to pay them their wages once
week or sell them their provisions at the
market prices. Unless tho laboring man
gets his money every week he is obliged to
buy his daily bread on credit. If in order
to enable him to do this the contractors
have established store where they can
furnish provisions to their laborers, they
ought sell to them at fair prices.

SHORTLY after this Congress convened
the air was filled with rumors about a steal
and swindle on the Cherokee Indian
Nation by the attorney of tho said nation.
The proper proceedings were instituted to
get at tho facts in the case and evidence
taken. A civil suit was instituted in the
courts Of the District Of Columbia. To this
suit the defendant demurred. The court
overruled the demurrer and ordered the
case to be proceeded with. The defendant,
by his attorney, took an appeal to the
Court in Banc, which appeal is still pend
ing.
In the meantime we hear whisperings in
the air to the effect that proposition look
ing to compromise has been made, and
that negotiations looking to the squelching
Of an investigation by the court are now
in progress, If not consummated.
About the time this investigation was set
on foot the same parties instjgating it
charged wrong-doing upon the part of the
officials Of the civilized tribes of Indians
who had leased large sections Of land in
their territory to stock men for grazing
purposes.
With view of getting at the facts in
relation to this charge, Judge Peelle drew a
resolution and submitted it to the Com
mltteo on Indian Affairs, of which he is q
Member, asking for subcommittee of that
committee to, during the recess Of Congress-
go into the Indian Territory and investi-
gate and report to Congress at the short ses-
sion all the facts in connection with the
leasing of tho said lands
AS soon as it became known that the
committee had acted favorably upon this
resolution, and would ask the House to con-
cur with it, the attorney Of the stock men
and some of the stock mon themselves
tame to Washington and began to manipu.
late certain parties, and as a result wo hear
that an arrangement has been reached
which satisfies all parties, and the facts are
