The DiggeFs.


The Humboldt Times thus discourses on
the condition Of the Digger Indians:
Indian affairs in this State tt this time,
present subject of difficult solution. All
notions founded upon experience with regard
to the Indians on the other side of the couti-
nent seem to be at fault here. The reserya-
tion system which has there worked well
proves a perfect failure here. and will doubt
less be abandoned But what other plan
will be substituted 10y the Government is the
important question. In this part of the State
every year seems to add to the Indian diff
culties and we see no hope of any change in
this respect. The Indians scattered through.
out the country from Meudocino county to
the klamath river occupy the lowest grade
of humanity and are but little above the
wild beasts that have for ages been their
com anions. They have no race or nation
but like the elk, the bear, or the wolf sinp-
Is live in bands. As an exception to the
rest of the human family savage as well as
civilized. these mountain dggers are destitute
of any form of government. Hence the i'm
practicability OF treating with them: and to
this fact also may be attributed the failure
on the part of the Government in every
move that has SO far been made towards pro
viding for them They seem to take as little
thought of the future as the brutes, and fail
to provide in summer for their want in win
ter. Only when hunger begins to pinch will
they make an effort to provide the means of
subsistence, and they have learned that it is
much easier to drive off and kill the stock of
the settlers Of their vicinity than to hunt elk
or deer or catch fish. They are naturally
predatory and it is not reasonable TO suppose
they will change their nature and resort to
labor or industry for living as long as they
can obtain it hy plundering. Before the
whites came among them they plundered
from each other, and will not be likely to
reform now when the inducements are so
much greater As long therefore as they in
fest the country now being settled with our
own race We must expect "A continuance of
what we gee going on at the present time -
Look at the accounts in this weeks paper as
a sample of the Indian depredntions aud
white man 5 vengeance exhibited at various
points III this section: Hardly week passes
that we do not chronicle the murder of some
white mau or the killing of stock or destruc-
ton of other property 10y the Indians, or the
slaughter OF some OF their number by the en-
ragged settlers How much longer shall this
state of things continue? Cannot something
he done to eliectually remove this curse of
Indian troubles from our county, are we com
PEELED to wait the slow but certain process
of cXtermnation These are questions that
with our people, now rise above all others in
Importance.
