Idesire to cAn your attention to \ telegram |
recently cent through the country concerning |
the relations existing between the Whites and
indians upon these lands, Tho whites have
treated the Indians with great kinduess, par
ticula1ly in the absence Of any protest from
tile Ipdians to tho settlers occupying their
lands. When the Osagcs vent out on their
fall hunt their corn was stored With tho whites,
at the request Of tho Indians, and Was deliF-
ercd On their return, when called for, and none
Of il vas stolen, according to the report. Be-
eidee that, the whites supported al Who ~efe
too old and feeble to endure the fatigue OF
the hunt. The report also at.tes that the
whites went into IN Indian village Of nine hun
a.ea hou.es, and forced the lneiana ort upon
the prairie This is downright fAlschool-
There are not fifty houses belonging 70 the
whole tribe and they ~ould be he last tmng =
The Indians have no cultivated fields. ~ the
report etates, but few s4uAu patches, which

arter, Ind the Indians, thus far. hare nevar
complained ot auy enc.oachmenss upon their
rishtr or property. During the past ycaI the
| Whites lave contributed. IN the form
Of tax, over $1,000 for hess
support, and when they were preparing
foI their fa1l hunt the whites nearly
supplied them With xhss provisions they re,
quifed. They have been fed and clothed. and
treated in nany instances to better thinge
than the Hlites vess providing for their poor.

The Catholic Church has done good mis-.
sionary service in America, by the influence
it has exetted withinathe folds Of the We

missionary spirit; their congregations, re-
lying wholly on voluntary contributions for
support, become more a power il the

more closely to the standard Of self -deninl
and useful practical work, for which they
we're founded; the whole Church is felt to
be less burden upon, and more working
agent Of, tho people, than in exclusively
Catholic countries. AL experience and
history prove that, in religion, as we'll as in
industry, competition is as essential as CO.

unfe1t or unacknowledged, to its
critics and opponents for being what it Is
Without this criticism and opposition it
would have had n less vigorous growth and

though the least sectarian, are those who,

Professionals, are catholic. The highest les

ture ones.
