Yesterday word reached this city an
%nouncing the death OF Captain Robert
H. Kerr. chief clerk Of the steamer Vir-
ginia, at the Homeopathic Hospital in
Pittsburg. Although his death was not
unexpected, it came as a great shock to
his many friends in this city. and i'm
mediately upon the receipt Of the news
the flags on the wharfboat and all the
local packets were lowered to half mast.
The story OF Captain Kerr's illness is
one Of fidelity to duty. He has been
failing in health rapidly during the past
two months, but Notwithstanding lis
feeble condition, Captain Kerr has re-
fused to desert his office and was only
removed when in an unconscious condi-
ton.
When his condition grew such that
he vas unable to stand up to perform
his duties, he sat in a chair in his Of
fee and directed the boats business.
He became unconscious about 4 o'clock
yesterday morning, and Immediately
upon the arrival of the packet at Pitts
burg was removed to the hospital.
Captain Kerr was a resident of Gin
c~innati, and was about sixty-one years
old. He is one of the most widely
known rivermen on the Ohio, and was
esteemed by all for his many good
qualities and his general genialty. He
began steamboating early in life. Cap
tain Kerr was commander of the old
Granite State, a Cincinnati packet,
steamboating with that famous boat
man, Captain Wash Gray. He was
later clerk of the Buckeye State, n
was on that boat when she sank at
Louisville. He was also clerk OF the
Sciota and Iron Queen, being upon the
latter boat when she was burned.
Twenty years ago he became connected
with the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & Wheel
ing Packet Company, and has remained
with them ever since. Since being
upon the Virginia he has never missed
a trip and it was his n ambition to
end this season on the boat and make
out it's report under his own signature.
Upon his last trip he was accompa-
MED by his wife and Mr.. and Mrs.
Buckhannon, relatives of his. The re-
mains will be taken to Cincinnati Tor
interment.

The Authors Experiences.

u. s.. Consul Pike, of P ort Louis,
Mauritius, has written a charming book
Jpn this gem of the ocean, the home of
Paul and Virginia.
Col. Pike, whose New York address Is
43. Exchange Place, had q curious ex-
perience with coffee and the beverage
almost destroyed his eyesight.
He says, Speaking Of coffee, my first
warning against the use was insomnia
followed by depression, and desponden-
cy. The Y system was in such a
condition that l could not attend to bus
mess, and to my distress l discovered
that my eyesight was becoming more
n more imperfect every day. From
my knowledge of the symptoms Of cof-
fee poisoning, ! concluded to leave on
the coffee and take up Postum Food
Gomez In its place.
The results Fere astonishing. Grad

nervous condition and depressed feel

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-In the present City Hall mud
die. which is SO ~disgraceful to this city,
q blind man even might discern the
true apimus of the Republican party.
It is the animus Of a revolutionary
clique which has vowed its insubordin-
alton in secret and Haunted its defiance
Of the will Of the people in public. 1t
seeks to avert it's final doom through
dilat0ry tactics, in the meantime hoping
for some turn in affairs which might
prevent a too heavy fall.
Mr.. Editor, for the amusement OF
your readers, just let us for a moment
look at this picture from the reverse
side. Suppose the Republicans had car
ried the election, M had, besides the
sheriff and Mayor and Chief of Police.
elected a majority of Council and then
the minority had resorted to the same
foul practices which have all along been
resorted to by the Republicans in this
case. Do you not know that a great
howl OF alarm would have gone up all
over the country at the awful wicked
ness of the Democrats? But then it's
lA4t0lu6 AOW " ASCpuUitNohos AAAS
sg6 this has been their aim, to thwart
the will of the people. Now, | can say
without the fear of successful contra
diction. that such as this would not
fAaye been tolerated in Switzerland
for forty-eight hours, for there in hat
sturdy republic, the people consti-
fute the source of all power In all
branches of the government. They
have had in full force for over sixty
years the methods of governing through
the initiative, the referendum, n also
the imperative mandate, which means
that they choose their laws and have
the power at the polls to reject them
in toto; also to unseat officials II they
fail to do justice. How long will it
take us, in our boosted free country, to
get that mush liberty? Are We not as
liberty loving and as honest as the
Swiss? Our returning ambassadors do
most fearlessly assert that Switzerland
is the most free and the best governed
country In the world, but woe be to the
public servant who would attempt any
thing bordering on a comparison with
this outrageous INSTRUMENTATION.
But then the American people seem
prepared for any change in their sys-
tenn of government, but always a change
for the worst. In no country where
the people truly rule and are jealous
of their rights, as they are in the little
republic OF Switzerland, can it be pos
sible that public brigands a safely
defy the will of the people and plumber
the public treasury, to the great discom-
future of the citizens.

Keep the Old Road open.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Whakever may be done in the
matter of constructing a new road north
of the city, In the vicinity Of the TOP
miIt" either along the river, front CT
by the cut in the hillside, the present
road should not be closed upon any pre-
text, but should be kept open and main
tanned as at present. The present road
is, of course, public property, and those
who may prefer to use it in the future
should be allowed to do so no matter
what improvements may be made. Pri-
vate parties or corporations may ask
that it may be closed, upon n pre-
text or another. | sincerely hope
no such proposition will ever be enter
tanned by the authorities.

why Not Join.

Sir:-lt occurs to me that the pres
ent Board of Public Works has been re-
viled enough by one or two members
of the old Board and their attendant
political satellites, and l would suggest
that the present Board ask the Circuit
Court for an injunction restraining the
ex-oficials from further interference
with the conduct of public business.
Such an injunction would doubtless be
granted for the asking, and would put
a summary end to the present undesir-
able situation of affairs. Will the Board
take note of this idea?
