The selling of three negroes at Fay ette, Mo., under the vagrancy act a few days ago caused a great deal of indigna tion among the colored population of that place, many of them believing that slavery times had returned. There vas some talk of vengeance, but it is liardly likely that any trouble will result. The negroes had been convicted of vagrancy in the courts and the sale only applies during the time of senteuce. Senator Paddock's pit re food bill has been favorably reported on by the house committee to which it was referred and the indications are that it will become a law before tlie close of the session. The masses of the people all over the United States are interested id that law. It is for their good and a protection to their health and Senator Paddock has won thousands of friends by his activity and persistence in the matter.

From present appearances' there will be do lack of moisture for crojis this season, but Melbourne tvould be a very convenient fellow to have urouncl should a dry spelt set in belore tlie crop is ma tured.

When the saloon element attempts to run matters regardless of the law it arouses the bet ter class of people to actior which they would not take tinder other cii-cum stances.

To place the Indians under the war de- rartmxnr and IlUt arlllV them would be to alndon all effort and tJiem and outbreaks and uprisiugs could only 1 prevented bv force of arms. It has been openly charged that former Indian agents have fortune ill a few years anuuiuiuit. nctimr m that caiacity a thing which could not honestly be accom plished on the salary of the position, and from the reports of those who have watched the conduct of affairs at the agency the agents are not the only ones who have profited at tlie t.n..nse 01 nation's wards. The Indians at Pine Hidgo have for' years sought to have the man of their choice appointed as their agent. Had tlien choice been u txiuaw man or some one unfit to fill the iosition or a hunger- on who was dependant on tho position to make a "stake" the government wouiu tve been justified in refusing their re- juest, but instead ol mat tney nave asked for a man whose history they now, a man who.se bravery tliey have tested and whose honesty they have proven; a man who has a thorough nowledge of their habits and tastes, and who is jiossessed of means sufficient to place him above the temptation of rofiting at the expense of those whose interests he has in cliarge and one who is not sought the place nor asked recog nition until the Indians urged it so hard that he deemed it his duty to make an ffort for the place. The matl they seek to have appointed is James H: Cook, of Harrison, Neb.; and all who know him and his past life recog nize his peculiar fitness for the place. Considering a!l of the facts many won der that lie is not apxintsl. The rea- ronisthis: The Pine Ridge reservation is almost wholly in the siate of South Dakota, and under the rule of appoint ments the senators frdtri that slate have the naming of the agent. Mr. Cook lives in Nebraska Itnd hetle his appoint ment ii opposed by llie polticians of that state. Last week the writer accompanied Mr. Cook on a trip to South Dakota and there found many who recoghized the important features of the Case and lent aid to the movement in1 the belief that tlie appointment of Mk Cook would as sist in the upbuilding of their state. 1 lie politicians who fee notiimg but a federal appointment) opposed the seloo lion of any man outside their own state, and while s'.'ch a rule is pood in most cases the 6rie at issue is ad exception. Senator Pettigrew; of South Dakota, expressed niniseii in tne discussion re ferred to nbove as favoring the efforts to civilize the Indians. If such is his sin cere wish he will see that to grant the petition of the Indian's Will be a long step 111 that direction. Ths right of (jet tion is recognized in all civilized nations ana 11 me request 01 11 10 Indians is re fused it will not increase their liking for tne meinous 01 uie winie man. It is quite likely that som of the more nar row-minded politicians of South Dakota would object to the appointment of Mr. Cook and attempt to make k-uator Pettigrew answer therefor, but it would seem that that geiitlemau would rather answer to that class for such an act aud advance the interests of his ttate and the state of Nebraska, and advance the in terests of tlie government arid the In dians, than to answer to his entire state to the stats of Nebraska aiid lo the gov ernment and Ins own conscience for refusing to overlook the matter of loca tion and thereby entail ii loss prosperity to his own and n neighboring state; to wake necessary a vast ontlav on the part of tlie government arid last but greatest of all, to stand reshonsibi for loss of life resulting froni (lissatiHfac tion among the Indians. There is a good deal of feeling at presenl aeairist Uie government and its aenU among tlie iuuibux ui l ine uuge ana tlie disquiet constantly increasing. Tliey liave noth ing Mgainst the settlers but should they once take the field against tlie gotenv rnent the liatred of the pale-face wbultl lead them to visit their wrath on who might cross their patti. Mr. Cook has the support of both the Nehniska senators and petitjqns for his upjioinimeni nave been signed bv nun dreds of people of .ijorthwest.
