affair, before o complete and authentic report
was published; and the practical common
sense of the people of the country will GER
tainly sustain the officers of the army who
are endeavoring to manage affairs upon the
frontier, and protect the settlers to the utmost
extent of their ability. We will most cor
daily support any practical efforts to benefit
the Indians, and to bring them to state of
civilization. Those who are engaged in this
work are entitled to the sympathy and CO.
operation of their fellow-citizens; but they
should also bear in mind that the white
men on the plains have some rights, and
that it is the specific duty of the army to pro-
tect the settlers with strong arm. The In
dians have undoubtedly suffered many wrongs,
but they have given ample provocation for
the bitter feeling that is entertained towards
them by the whites; and in criticizing such
an affair as the attack upon the Piegans, it is
only proper to take into consideration the
outrages committed by them for which this
was at once warning and punishment, and
not to represent them as unressting inno-
CENTS and the officers and men of the army
as the bloodthirsty aggressors. Any plan for
ulakluB J1o duleudDlo IO Tue
of civilization, and confining them within
certain bounds, so that they will be
incapable of inficting injury on their
white neighbors, is certainly beset
with grave difficulties; and those who are
seeking to solve the Indian problem in a
peaceable manner will receive but little as
sistance from the white race who are brought
Immediately in contact with the savages.
General Sheridan was nearly right when he
said that the soldiers are the only practical
friends that the Indians have, and the advo-
Gates of a peace policy will more surely ad-
vance their ends if they will so manage as to
secure the cooperation of the army. Unre-
strained abuse, however, is not the way to
secure this cooperation, and we regret ex-
ceedingly that better temper was not shown
in the criticism upon the Piegan affair.

under the control Of the Government, there
can scarcely be doubt as to the bad policy
of such an enactment as this. The original
bill, if passed by Congress, would have in
volved us in bloody and expensive war to
very little purpose, while the modification of
it that is now before the Senate will,
if it becomes the law, remain
q dead letter and be little more
than protest against polygamy. The op-
ponents of Mormonism have not as yet such
a foothold in Utah that we can afford to COM
mence active measures Of aggression against
the Mormons, and any enactment of this
kind is at least impolitic The general idea
in nearly all sections of the country is that
the safest speedist, and best methods of
dealing with the Mormons is to
leave them to their own dissensions
that at the present time appear to be rapidly
demoralizing their organization, and to the
advancing tide of emigration that is surround
ing them with hostile population that will
compel them in a few years to make another
move or else to bring their religious and
social policy more in conformity with the
principles of modern civilization. The time
may como when il will be both polite and
necessary for us to make the Mormons feel in
decided manner the authority of the Gov
ernment and the force of public opinion;
but the time is not now, and we can well
afford to wait the development of events
before entering upon costly campaign that
will bring us very little credit or glory and
that will place the Mormons in the attitude of
martyrs

The MORMONS.

SALT LAKE Cry is in terrible state of ex-
citement over Mr.. Cullom's bill for the sup
preston of polygamy in Utah, which recently
passed the National House of Representa-
tives, and memorials will be forwarded to the
Senate asking for the expurgation of those
sections that bear most hardly upon the
peculiar institution" of Mormonism. The
bill as it actually passed the House was very
different in its essential features from that
originated by Mr.. Cullom; and while pro-
hibiting polygamy, it practically renders
such prohibition ineffective by failing to
provide adequate means for enforcement or
adequate penalties for the offense. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful whether the bill will be able
to pass the Senate in any shape; and much
as we desire that the disgraceful features of
Mormonism may be done away with or brought

THE Alta OK ON THE PIEGANS.
THE report of Colonel Baker to General
Sheridan with regard to his attack upon the
camp of the Piegan Indians will be received
with general satisfaction. 1t gives a very
different version of the affair from that which
was first received and which excited SO much
Indignation among the Eastern friends of Mr..
Lo, and it entirely relieves the officers and
men of the army who were engaged in the
fight from the accusation of unnecessary
cruelty, and the wanton slaughter of women
and children that was made against them.
According to Colonel Baker, the total num-
Der of Indians killed, SO far as could be ascer-
tanned, was 173, of whom 120were able-bodied
men and 53 women and children. 40
women and children were captured and re-
leased. Colonel Baker states his belief that
every effort was made by the officers and men
under his command to protect the non-com-
batants, and it was only by the unavoidable
casualties of such an affray that any women
and children were killed. 14,g
There is no reason to doubt that the state
ments of Colonel Baker are true in every par
ticular and however much it may be regretted
that any women and children should be
slaughtered by our soldiers, the exigencies of
Indian warfare must be taken into account,
and the utter impossibility of Furnishing
the savages for their crimes unless in this
very manner. The friends of the Indians
have only injured their own cause by the
abuse they have layished upon General sheri-
dan, Colonel Baker, and the officers and men
Under their command, on account Of this
