The Senator began by stating that the older he

he then briefly reviewed the history Of the Re

THE PIEGAN INDIANS.
The House Of Representatives Responsible for
Their Starving Condition.

WAsHINGr ON, Aug 30 I'm regard to the re
ports Of the distressed condition Of the Piegan
Indians, Acting Indian Commissioner Stevens to-
day stated that the Indian Office is in no wise to
blamefor this condition Of affairs At the last ses
sion Of Congress the Commissioner requested an
appropriation Of $75 900 for maintenance of these
Indians This amount was in the opinion Of the
bureau, the smallest sum that would suffice for
the purpose, but the House cut the estimate
down to $4,000; the Senate increased the ap-
preparation to $50, 900, and this money, although
used to the best advantage is not enough to
feed the Indians during the year. On Aug IL
Agent Allen made the following report upon the
subject:
Under date of June A. 1884, wrote your office
reviewing the estimate for supplies made by my
predecessor, John Youna, for the year ending
june 30, 1855, and showed that the amount Of
meat estimated for was only one-fourth the
quantity required, and of flour only about one
third the quantity required. He asked for 500,
600 pounds of beef gross, and only 100000
pounds have been purchased. less than one-ftth
rations, or less than five ounces per day for each
person. The flour purchased for the current fs-
cal year gives less than six ounces per day to
each person. On such allowance, having moth
ing else, how could they avoid starving9 tele-

more than that, and will continue to do so while

of starvation while l have anything to give
them. If the supply runs out, the responsibility
may rest where it belongs At present there is
great abundance of berries, and these help to
| prevent starvation, for the Indians gather and
eat them in great quantities; but the berries will
soon be gone and then there will be nothing but
meat and -four 1t should be borne in mind that
at no time since l assumed charge of this
agency has there been a single pound of

George H. Ball to Rev. w. N Williams, Of Camp

Dear Bro. W.-Yours of the 10th answer just as

positive evidence that Cleveland is lbertne. His

The washington Monument.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. The discovery of the
fact that the title to the Washington monument
site is in the private corporation known as the
Washington National Monument Society, has
caused surprise. It is not thought however,
that the interest Of the association will prevent
the government from exercising the same own
ership and control over the monument and its
ments erected at public places in the capital
The site was given tothe monument society in
1848, by act of Congress, before any money was
collected. That society, after that, collected
1922, 900, which raised the shaft to 152 feet The
completion of the shaft from that point to its
present height, five hundred feet has been done
by direct appropriation from Congress, under
the direction of government engineer officer,
This ancient monumental society will take the
lead in the ceremonies of celebrating the com

A GREAT OFFER.
The W EEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home Of every Repub-
Gcan in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for % cents.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is a complete family
newspaper. It is specially edited and much
of the matter appearing IN it is especially pre-
pared for the wants Of the weekly readers It
is a compendium Of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters; it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general; it has the news Of the State
and of the city. Its literary and miscellane-
Gus features are Of the best.
THE WEEKLY Journal is newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana and at
4e price aasrr.cL for II tlsrs = ne reason why
it should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered Political com
mitteea cannot do better than to see that
copies Of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands Of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers Of
some sound Republican paper, The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle of protection to American industry
in whatever revision of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments Of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the Journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects Of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once, either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.
