in the report of the Commissioner OF
Indian affairs. For Superintendent,
and Indian agents, not On the ReseF-
yations, officers Of the army were
elected. The reasons for this r nu-
merous. When Indian agents are
sent there, or near there, troops must
be sent also. The agent and the
commander Of troops are independent
of each other, and are subject to orders
from different departments Of the
Government. The army officer holds
a position for life, the agent one at the
will of the President. The former is
personally interested in living in har-
mOny with the Indians and in the es-
Enlistment of q permanent peace, to
the end that some portion of his life
may be spent within the limits of q
civilized section. The latter has no
such personal interests. Another rea-
son is an economical one, and still
another hold which the Government
has upon a life officer to secure a
faithful discharge of duties in carry
ing out a given policy. The building
of railroads, and the access thereby
given to all agricultural and mineral
regions of this country, is rapidly
bringing civilized settlements into
contact with all tribes of Indians. No
matter what ought to be the relations
between such settlements andthe abO-
riginees, they do not harmonic well,
and one or the other has to give way
in the end. A system which looks to
the determination of the race is too
horrible for a nation to adopt without
on4oflf1r rTnOr1 tfco1f tho urrofh of oil
ChristendOm, and engendering in the
citizens a disregard for human life
and the rights of others dangerous to
society. Isee no substitute for such a
system except in placing all the In
dams on a large reservation as rapidly
as can be done, and giving them alb
solute protection there. AS sOOn as
they are fitted for it they should be
induced to take their lands severally
and to set up Territorial Governments
for their own protection. For full de-
tails on this subject 1 call yeur especial
attention TO the reports of the Secre-
tary of the Interior and the Commits
siOner of Indian Affairs.

at least doubled during the same time.

to increase largely the compensation

above the old BRADY Mill"
The present survey will run on the

like a half mile from the court house.
The survey progresses very slowly,
the party now having been some
eight or ten days coming from the
