A Negligent Agent.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Chief Moses and
other Indians from the Columbia and Col
vile Reservations to-day signed the agree
ment, which, with few notifications, is
identical with the one virtually affected last
Saturday. At to-day's conference Chief To
msskat complained that Simms, Agent of
the Colville Reservation, never visited the
Ii di ans personally, and wss entirely igno-
rant of their wants; that his quarters are
forty miles from the Reservation, thus oblig.
ing the Indians to travel that distance in or
der to confer with him whenever anything
IS need. 1t is said at the Department that
agent Simms will be promptly removed un-
less henceforth he gives the Indians under
his charge more personal attention.

Much Ado About No thing.

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
You will pardon me for calling attention
to an article which appeared in yesterdays
Journal under the caption, Fixing 1t so
Judge Howk Could See It," purporting to
narrate an incident occurring upon a trial
before Judge Welborn, OF Princeton, in
which, it is stated, the writer participated.
To the intelligent reading public, espe-
cially where the two eminent judges referred
to are known, it is hardly necessary to say
that the story is wholly without any founda-
ton in fact whatsoever. Yet, in view of the
matter-of-fact style of the narration, and the
prominence of its publication in the State it
is but Just to Judge Welborn and Judge
Howk, who occupy important and delicate
positions in the State, to whom
the story is calculated, if not IN
tended, to give annoyance, to say through
your paper that the narrative is pure SIM
pie, not to say silly, fabrication-a fiction in
all Its parts, scene, characters, language and
sentiments; the invention OF some clumsy
lawyer, who must have imagined he was per-
petrating professional joke
That no such trial was ever had before
Judge Welborn; that in no case, at any time.
nave ever asked the court, after the jury
had been instructed and had started to retire
from the court, to make its instructions more
exlicit that Judge Weborn, at no time or
place, ever did-in fact as gentleman and
a jurist, is incapable Of and never could
have perpetrated the conduct, or language,
or sentiments attributed to him in said
article.
In conclusion permit me to say that it is
to be much regretted that the press, especially
the Vincennes News and the indianapolis
Journal, should give currency, as matters of
fact, to inventions of a character calulated
to bring discredit upon the judiciary of the
of their delicate duties and to lessen in the
popular mind that respect for the courts and
the legal profession, so necessary to the per-
formance of the responsible duties which
devolve upon them in the administration of
the laws OF society. w. NJ. LAND

A STARS CIRCULATION.
An Interesting Celestial Attraction Which
Occurred Last Night.

Last night at IL o'clock the moon Ooculted or
passed over the star Beta Scorpii, hiding or con-
cealing it from view. as the word OccultatiOn
means. Beta ScOrpii is a star of the second mag
nitude in the constellation Scorpio, ranking next
in brightness to Antares, its well-known leading
brilliant. Beta Scorpii is also a beautiful double
star. The telescope easily separates 1t into two
stars or compOhents The larger component is
of the second magnitude, pale or yellowsh white
in color, and the smaller OF the fifth and half
magnitude and of lilac color. The stars are
thirteen seconds apart. Observers who watched
the occultation through a good telescope
beheld a beautiful spectacle. The moon had
just passed the fun, and nearly her whole disk
was illuminated. About IL o'clock the larger
star disappeared behind the moons bright edge,
and IN less than a minute the tiny companioa
also disappeared. This is called the immersion
OF the star The occultation continued for an
hour and a half About 1890 O'Clock, the COM
panion stars reappeared on the opposite side OF
the moons disc.
N B. The above Information is based upon
facts furnished by several eminent astronomers,
and is scientifically accurate The phenomenon
doubtless occurred, exactly as described, it
was booked for the hour designated, although it
was so cloudy that nobody could see it; but the
journal gives an account OF it, as II is the pro-
vince OF all enterUrising papers, to give all the
news, celestial as well as terrestrial.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.



To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal.
Do the liquor leagues suppose that they
can hold the balance of power and continue
to control the legislation of the country I'M
the plea that to defend the rights of the
people and protect their homes against the
ruins of a morbid appetite for strong drinks
is passing sumptuary laws? The influence OF
strong drink and dissipation on the prosperity
of this country is not to be left with tenn
perance societies, with blue or red-ribbon
reformers alone 1t is great national Ques-
ton. Statesmen will come forward to solve
the problems involved, and to carry out the
policy that will ultimate in restraining
inebriety
Anti-liquor leagues will soon be formed
to counteract the influence of the liquor
league. This is to be the programme
for future operations against dra m-shops
| shall not arrogate to myself the wisdom of a
prophet l will, however, venture the pre-
dicton that it will not be long until one
anti-liquor league will be formed in every
county and State in the Union that will
hold the balance of power and defeat any
party that the liquor league may control.
Such league is called for by the course pur-
sued by the liquor traffic which is now COM
pletey organized Its votares have sacri-
| feed their political conviction and ignored
every other question than that of opposition
to any legislation unfriendly to dram-shops.
Large sums of money have been appropriated
by them to carry elections and elevate their
friends to power. The Distllers' Associa-

makers Association all act in harmony on
| this question, while each contends for its
own interest Why not the masses who carry
the burden of taxes imposed upon them by

The fire that kindled the great temperance
movement is not dead because the flame is
not seen. 1t has only ceased to glare that it
may burn deeper in the convictions of the
| people. The next flow of the tide of this re-
form will set it on the solid basis of a great
essential governmental policy. Perhaps
| may be mistaken in the time. but it will
come as certain as its necessity is founded
upon the wishes, the welfare and happiness
of the people. The Journal has been liberal
| to the friends as well us to the enemies of
temperance. 1t has given its columns for the
| controversy of this great question, not as a
question of any political party but as a ques-
! ton OF principle and policy, which is the
