Secretary Lamar Again Finds 1t Necessary

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Seeretary Lamar
has made decision in the farm mortgage case
which has attracted so much attention in Wiscon-
sin, sharply overruling the decision of Commits
soner Sparks. of the General Land Office, and di
recting him to certify up the lands at once in order
that they may be conveyed to the State of Wis
consin for the benefit of the Farm mortgage
Company. The greater portion of the large tract
of land involved was long ago occupied by inno-
cent third parties, farmers and others, who
hold their title as the grantees of the Farm
mortgage Company, to which Commissioner
Sparks had refused to give title. Secretary
Lamar, in his comments upon the decision of
SPARKS, has established precedent which is of
the utmost Importance in large class of similar
cases He does not propose to override de-
cision of the United States Supreme Court,
which he declares to be very high and persua-

THE NEW SILVER CERTIFICATES.

The Ten-Dollar Notes VIII Bear the Picture
of the Late Mr.. Hendricks.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The printing of the
new ter-dollar silver certificates began at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing yesterday.
The design of this note, as has already been
stated, includes well-execured portrait of the
late Yice-president Hendricks. The work is
being executed on the new distinctive paper,
which was manufactured expressly for the new
silver certificates. At least 5000 impressions
were taken yesterday, and as each sheet contains
feur notes, $500. 900 worth of the silver GER
tifcates have passed through the first
process on their way to the public. About
thirty days will be required to finish them
and have them ready for circulation, but
1t is understood they will not be
issued before the middle of November, when the
ones and twos are expected to be prepared for is
sue. The designs for the latter denominations
are now being transferred to STEEL and the plates
will probably be ready for the printers about the
middle of next month. The design for the ten
dollar plate was commenced some time before
Congress authorized the printing of the new is
sue of certificates, it was deemed advisable to
replace the old design with the Hendricks note
This explains why the largest denomination is 30
much further advanced than the designs for the
smaller notes. AS soon the plates for the
latter are prepared, the full complement of en-
Dloyes at the bureau will be put to work to ex-
pedite their circulation.

SCANDAL IN THE INDIAN OFFICE.
Alleged Corruption in the Management OF

Alleged Corruption in the Management of
the Philadelphia Indian School.
Washington Special.
The Council Fire, published in the interest of
the Indians, in its issue of to-day, speaking of
the Indian Bureau says of Charles F. Larabee
a clerk in the land division of the Indian Office
who has been selected as a memb Der of the new
Indian Commission: "Larabee has contempt
for Indians and strong friendship for corrupt
and despotic agents. He has been the foe of
Red Cloud and supporter of McGillycuddy dur
ing all the long years the old chief has stood as
representative Of justice, and McGilycuddy the
representative OF injustice and despctism.
All Indians are warned to be wary about
signing any paper drawn up or presented to
them by Larabee until it shall have been fully
examined by some one in whose honor and just
ice, as well as intelligence, they have full conf
dence." In recent visit to the Indian school at
Philadelphia, the writer says, he was much sur
prised at what he saw and heard. The institute
is Protestant Episcopal mission school for poor
white children, but through influence the man
ayers have been able for some years to get an
appropriation from the federal Treasury of $2j,-
900 year for educating 100 Indian girls and
fifty boys. He says:
They do not pretend to have any teachers
for the 100 Indian girls, but send them to the
public schools of the city. There are two or
three women employed to keep the clothing of
the girls in repair, rather to that the girls
keep their own clothes in repair, and their rooms
neat by scrubbing. The washing is sent to the
boys school, so the girls are not taught
TO wash. Indeed. so far as could
learn. they are taught nothing in the institute

The boys have literary teachers, but they are

tendent says they won't work. This surprised
me, until learned that there are thirty or more
white boys Of q pauper class in the school with
them. This explained the matter. The white
boys. by their idle habits demoralize the Indian
boys"
The cost of maintaining the school does not

There are two simple tests by which we al
ways convince ourselves whether a person is
really dead or not. One test is the same that has
been crowned with prize by the French gov
eminent, which had for years offered large re-
ward for the discovery of any method, always
applicable, always reliable, and that may be
practiced by the most ignorant The method of
determining actual death, which was considered
by the French government as being worthy of
the reward, is the following: When the fingers of
person who is supposed to be dead are fully ex-
tended. but kept near together. and if placed in
front of candle light in dark room peculiar
bright color, due to the capillary circulation,
will be visible where the fingers touch each
other, il there is any life left This test has
thus far proved the most reliable. The other is
based upon the well-known fact that the muscles
of human being will never respond for longer
time to the strongest electrical current than for
an hour and half after DEATH while as long
life lasts may it's evidences be so little. the
contractility of the muscles, if not affected by

Society should hold the man who drinks liquor
responsible for its effects on him. Not many
years ago the Supreme Court of Indiana set aside
a verdict of guilty in a murder case because II
was shown that, during the progress of the trial.
one of the jurors had drunk a single glass or
whisky. The court held that inasmuch as a.
small amount oe alcohol was sufficient to intoxi-
cate some men, the only safe rule was to make
the slightest indulgence in intoxicants By jury
man fatal to the validity of a verdict The best
prohibtory law that exists is found in those com
munities which maintains o public sentiment
that brands drunkenness as an outrage. It ia
not the business of society to keep liquor. knives,
