The Rev. Lansing, the New England preacher who charged in an address before the Methodist conference that President Cleveland was drunk at various public dinners, has proven himself an ass, disgraced the cloth and insulted every American citizen. He has recovered sufficiently from the storm of indignation raised to emit a bray of apology that places him in a worse light than ever. In an interview upon his return from the South, Marshall Field, the Chicago dry goods king, said: “Business is improving all along the line. A very marked improvement in our trade has set in, and we have reason to believe that it will continue to improve. The new tariff is all right. Business is better because there is an increased demand for goods reduced in values by the new tariff schedules. The manufacturers will not suffer; they have sufficient protection under the new law.” Not since the cow jumped over the moon lias beef been so high in New York. Meat is dearer than it has been for twenty-three years. By a careful canvass made on January 1, 1895, the number of cattle in this country was estimated to he 32,398,000, or 1,951,000 less than appeared in the report for January 1, 1894. The business depression during I lie past year forcing a quick realization on the part of cattle owners accounts in some measure for the decrease. A New York dispatch states high prices will continue to rule in the dressed beef markets until July 1, when the summer grass ted cattle will reach there. In urging the survivors of the Thirtyfirst Indiana to hold reunions, Capt. C. A. Power, of Terre Haute, writes in the Express at length of the part that splendid regiment took in the bloody battle of Shiloh, thirty-three years ago Sunday. In conclusion he says: “Was it a surprise? Yes. With all deference to the memories of Grant and Sherman, they could not, if given life a thousand years, ever write it out of the memory of the men composing the rank and' tile of that magnificent army that they were not surprised on that April Sunday morning by Johnston’s visit with his entire army in attendance to enforce attention. “And now, on this anniversary Sunday morning, while a few readers of The Express may see and read these imperfect tributes of remembrance, the scene changes, and today with the old battlefield redolent again with flowers of springtime the blue and the gray meet in friendly companionship above the graves of the thousands or heroic souls whose lives went out forever on that historic ground. Surely, is it not teaching the nation that the American people are the most forgiving people on earth, else Grant and Sherman would have been summarily executed for that fatal surprise.” We wonder if the Indiana G. A. R. will incorporate this in its proposed school history?

rights. Four days before her philanthropic spirit left its diseased tenement she sent this pathetic message to the President dated Aug. 12, 1885: “To Grover Cleveland, President of the
United States:
Dear Sir: From my death bed I send you a message of heartfelt thanks for what you have already done for the Indian's. I ask you to read my ‘Century of Dishonor.’ I am dying happier for the belief that it is your hand that is destined to strike the first steady hhvv toward lifting this burden of infamy from our country, and righting the wrongs of the Indian race. With respect and gratitude, Helen Jackson.” Cieve'and’s CJmiid Work. Soon after the beginning of President Cleveland’s first term there was a great reform inaugurated in the methods of dealing with the Indians. The thieving agents and hangers-on who had been robbing the Indians for decades were rooted out. Their schools were purged of worthless teachers and made more efficient. The lands of the Indians were segregated in all cases in which tribal consent could be obtained, every Indian old and young, receiving an allotment of a certain number of acres of land and the remainder of their respective reservations put on the market for the lieiioflt of the particular tribe or tribes to which it belonged. The Indians were dealt with as if men and not as if children, as had been done theretofore. The good work lias been going on ever since, and as a result, the condition of the Indian is vastly better than it was
ten years ago.

former fell pierced with buckshot. Mrs. Jackson describes the place well but some slight inaccuracies in details indicate that she did not visit the spot herself. “Alessandro,” whose real name was Juan Diego, alias Alhander, was a harmless and industrious Temecula Indian. For some time before his murder lie had spells of lunacy. When in that condition he imagined that he was being pursued by persons intent upon taking his life. When seized with a lunatic spell he would mount the first horse he could get hold of and ily to the fastness of liis mountain home. Upon one occasion he rode up to the house of a settler, Shasta Tripp, who lived across the moun .ains from his own home, on ono of tho latter’s horses. The horse was cox ered with foam and Alessandro xmi s in a I highly excited state declaring to Tripp that Gahuilla Indians were pursuing him and that if overtaken he would be killed. Tripp soothed him and in some degree dispelled his fears but ho rode away without a word of explanation about the animal he was riding and seemingly unconscious that it was in his possession without leave or license.
A True Story
In relation to the occurrence which resulted in the murder of Diego, (Alessandro i the facts as gathered from those thoroughly conversant with them, fully corroborate the details as given by Mrs. Jackson, except that a horse belonging to Diego and one belonging to Samuel Temple (Farrari were in a corral in San Jacinto kept to accommodate teamsters and travelers for a compensation, and not in an enclosure, the property of Temple. Diego had gone to San Jacinto on some business and attacked by one of his “flighty” spells went to the corral, mounted Temple’s horse, leaving his own inferior animal in the corral, and rode in great haste to his home many miles away. Arriving there he tethered the animal near the house and went to bed. Upon discovering that his horse was missing Temple, well knowing from the presence of tho

“Judge Wells,” then a magistrate residing at lladec, went to the scene of the tragedy and attempted to hold an inquest. The body had been removed and at the time appointed to hear the testimony, Ramona, the only eye-wit-ness, failed to attend. Temple had it all Ins own way, telling a story that shielded him from all blame. He claimed that the Indian advanced to-1 ward him with a drawn knife and that he shot in self defense. The Indians who removed the body did not find a knife or any other weapon on or about it. No one believed Temple’s story, but there being no testimony against him he was never indicted or tried. He is living and may frequently be seen strutting about the streets of Cabazon, Banning, San Jacinto and neighboring villages, proud of the distinction of having killed poor demented Juan Diego. He is a coarse, powerfully built ruffianly looking man. He has the reputation of being a brawling, intemperate braggart. The novelist says of her character representing him: “He was as cowardly as he was cruel: never yet were the two traits separate in human nature.” It is related of I him that subsequent to the Diego tragedy lie had an altercation with a border character named Charles Martin over a game of cards. Charles is not a model man in a moral point of view but has unquestioned courage. On the occasion referred to, Temple, as is his usual habit in such affairs, drew his
