THE SAN JUAN QUESTION.

WE yesterday published an article from Put
a,dm's Magazine by General Alvord, which
gave a very clear and explicit statement of
the controversy between the United States
and England with regard to the possession of
the island of San Juan, which, if allowed to
remain in the hands of the British, will, in
conjunction with their strong positionon Van
couvers Island, enable them practically to
command the northwestern outlet of our
dominions. This controversy is a part
of the legacy left us by the irreso-
luton of President Polk and his
advisers who allowed themselves to be
bullied into yielding everything of impor-
tanee in the Northwest that England de-
manded; and instead of fighting for the line
Of 81 degrees 40 minutes, consented to the
boundary of the 49th parallel, and moreover
gave up Vancouver's Island, which General
Alvcrd rightly says 'frowns down upon all
our possessions in that quarter" When the
treaty of the 18th of June, 1916, was con-
cluded, all the territory involved in the con-
troversy was an uninhabited wilderness.
Gold had not been discovered in California,
and there seemed no prospect whatever that
the Pacific coast would be ssttled and orga-
nized into States for many years to come
That the Government yielded as it did to the
demands of England was because it appearedto
be piece of folly to involve the two coun-
tries in a war on account of desert far re-
moved from civilization, and which might
never be of use to anybody. 1t was a mis-
take on our part, and in the future it ought
to be held as an axiom in American diplo-
macy that We always will make mistake if
we yield ia the slightest degree to the de-
mand or pretensions of England in any con-
troyersy we msy have with her. Two years
after the Northwest boundary treaty was CON-

PlOUS INDIAN AGENTS.

The Indian Bureau has come to the impor-
tant determination to pay more attention
than heretofore to the moral qualifications
and capacity of its agents; and we are in
formed that, whenever practicable, such
agents, before appointment, will be required
to have the endorsement of the religious
bodies to which they may respectively belong,
as in the case of the QuakersN Nappointed a
year ago. If it were possible to obtain truly
pious men to act as Indian agents, the coun-
try might expect very great improvement
in the relations between the Indians and
the white race on the Western plains;
but our faith in the ability or disposition of
the men who really control the Indian Bureau
to make such selec tions as will lead to desira-
BILE results is exceedingly limited. We have
too often seen examples of robes borrowed
from Heaven to serve the devil in to expect
any great moral improvement in the Indian
agents appointed under a system that is COR
rupt and rotten to the core, and one of the
evil effects of sending out the Quakers last
year was that it set bad precedent While
we have every reason to hope for good results
from the missionary enterprises set on foot
and supported by the different religious bodies
of the country, we have no faith whatever in
missionaries sent out under the auspices of
the Government. 1t may not be compliment
tary to the religious people of the nation, but
it is nevertheless solemn truth, that it is
one of the easiest things in the world for a
man of no character whatever to obtain an
endorsement from church congregation or
the prominent officials or members of almost
any of the different denominations. While
this announcement from the Indian Bureau
may mean that an effort will be made in good
faith to appoint better class of men than
heretofore as agents, it looks very much as
if the old Indian ring which
for years past has been plundering both the
Government and the Indians has taken a
hint from the appointment Of the Quaker
agents, and has come to the conclusion that
it will pay to cover its iniquities with the
garb of religion; and there is a prospect
ahead that the poor savages will be swindled
worse in the future than they have been in the
past The fact of the matter is that the
whole system of Indian agencies, like that of
Pension agencies, has become so cor
rupt that no good can be expected
from it, and the only way to effect reform
is to break it up entirely and to transfer the
management Of our Indian affairs to the
army That Congress would not consent to
take this step is because the Indian ring is
strong enough to effectually resist any change
that will deprive it of its opportunities for
plunder, and it is scarcely possible to expect
an improvement SO long as Congressman,
rather than turn their friends and partsans
out of Office, prefer that bloodshed aud
rapine shall continue upon the frontier ia
definitely. lff H lstLI

cluded the discovery Of gold was made in
California, and the entire relations of the
Pacific coast to the rest Of the
country were changed. In less
than quarter of century from
the day when we yielded to England the
immense strip of territory included between
the 49th parallel of north latitude and the
parallel of "a deg. 40 min, with its coast line,
and the great island of Vancouver, States and
Territories have sprung up on the Pacific
slope which rival those of the East in popu-
lation and wealth, and q second grand trans
continental railway is being built which will
have its terminus at Puget Sound, one of the
outlets to the Pacific Ocean which are frowned
upon by British guns from Vancouver's Island.
Having given up this territory, however,
there is nothing for us to do but to abide
by our bargain, but for the United
States to yield single point in its claims to
the island of San Juan and the adjacent ar
chipelego would be the height of folly
General Alvord clearly shows in the paper
which we published yesterday that when the
treaty of 1916 was made there was no misun-
derstanding whatever on this point, and that
the British claim to the island of San Juan
was trumped up afterwards, and with charac-
teristic insolence Lord Russell and other Eng
lish statesmen who have discussed the matter
have refused to listen to any proposition for
a settlement of the controversy that will not
leave them in possession of the disputed
territory. About the time of
the breaking out of the rebellion
there was prospect of difficulty between
the United States and England with regard
to this island, but as we had something
to attend to Just then, a compromise was
effected by General Scott, who proposed
the joint occupation of the island by the
forces of the two countries, until diplomacy
should decide which party it belonged to.
Since then the subject has been lost sight of
amid the press of weightier matters, but the
fact that the Northern Pacific Railroad will
terminate at Puget Sound is bringing it
prominently before the public again; and the
time has arrived when the dispute ought to
be settled finally and forever by our taking
possession of San Juan Island and the
Haro Archipelago if we can,
forcibly if we must. 1t would be a
crime of the first magnitude for the United
States to enter upon war with England out
of mere greed for the acquisition of territory;
but it would be worse than a crime-a blum
der-for us to be bullied into giving up what
rightfully belongs to US for the sake of avoid
ing contest. There is no danger, however,
that England will attempt to get up fight on
this subject, and our Government can pro-
cure settlement of the controversy, if it will,
by simply asserting its rights and refusing to
listen to any compromise or to any PROPOSE
ton for arbitration. The Northern Pacific
Railroad will be completed before many years,
and it is therefore important that definite
movement for the settlement of the dispute
should be commenced at once, and any new
negotiations should be entered into with a
fixed determination on our part to obtain
what we want at all hazards.
