GEN. PoPE ON Our INDIAN PoLIcY.-Gen.
Pope, who speaks from ten years. experien2e
on the frontier, suggests, In an official report,
a new mode of dealing with hostile Indians. In
view of the facilities afforded them for making
trouble by the weakness of new settlements.
He proposes that whenever an Indian tribe
makes difficulties 1t shall be transported into
the midst of the white population eastward
In the rear, as he says, instead of farther To
the front of tie line of settlements; and there
the Indians should, he thinks, be treated not
as tribes, but as individuals, accountable to
the laws as other men or women, and part OF
the permanent population Of the country.
