THE INDIAN POLICY.

THE INDIAN POLICY.
The hue and cry is determination, for
what; Is it that the life Of the unforttl-
nate Gen. Candy is worth more chan the
entire race of Modocs, men, women and
children. If so; what has made the ex-
istence of the Indian so contemplate, and
the value of n solitary white man SO ap-
preciated. Gen. Sherman face to fhce
with red Jack, unless backed by the
steel wall which has always made him as
bold as he has been cruel, may have set
his teeth fast, ere he had dared to speak
the death knell ofthe Indian race. IF
prudence would have suggested this
much for his personal safety, should not
mercy have tempered his ire of Justice.
The act Of the Indian Chief was base and
treacherous, but review the BASE and
TREAcHERots. policy of the government
which was represented in Gen. Candy,
and say if the unciviIized American saw
aught to admire, in the tinselled type of
the civilized American. The worm
will sting the foot that presses it, and
red Jack counting the cost, made the
fearful issue. Back, back, before the
steady tramp of westward ho" he fell,
no hunting grounds for his living, no
resting place for his dead. Enlightcn-
mcnt to him was administered through
the rum bottle; civilization taught him
that from behind crevice of the rock,
he could hurl bullet to the brain of his
betrayer. His bounty was doled out in
beads and poisoned whiskey, his soul was
preached to on one side by the missiona-
ry revealing an accountability, and on
the other by cunning trader VINO made
the wild Indian, wilder devil. Per.
picked, deceived, and maddened, he was
not won over, but sank deeper and deep
er under the influence of the tricky white
man, and hurling the lie of defiance to
his teeth, his wild heroism was aroused,
and he slew both the innocent and the
guilty. Better had the government
measured modicum of its Southern
policy to the Indian, I. e. counting the
inferior its PRoTEGE,. then it might
have been spared the disgrace of Sher-
mans vindictive howl, and at least have
been consistent in its former dealings
with its subjects. Here the rnle is in
hands and hearts blac,ler than the In
dams. There for party sake cruelty will
be practised. Treat the Indian rs a man
and his savage breast will respond
kindly throb. Rob him, and degrade
him by putting his scanty subsistence in
the hands Of cormorant rumsellng agents
and you teach him that neither his, or
the life of such tools Of the government
is worth the sparing.

Annual Tournament than the glorious
FIRST OF MAY! What rplace in Chris

the gallant knights Of DID,. and perpetu-

who look with pride upon the past
achievements of their glorious STATED The
first ofMay was indeed n gala day, long
to be remembered, and the holiday was
heartily enjoyed by the hundreds who
assembled to do honor to the gallant
knights. The threatening. state of the

looking upon the brilliant array of fair
ladies could see that the prospect Of be-
ing crowned the "Queen of Love and

Too much praise cannot be awarded to

BY contumacious chiefs.

A YOUNG girl named Jennie Keyser,
at Austin, furnishes the latest case Of
kerosene suicide in this State, On
Tuesday, being about to light ! FIRE,
she took the oil can to pour some of the
fluid on the kindlings in the stove, but
an unseen c,al darted fame into the
can which exploded, and the death Of
the poor girl, in terrible agony, in !
few hours afterwards, was the result. It
is probable that no number Of such
warnings would serve to deter careless
people from doing the same rash thing
and risking the same fearful penalty.
1t is more than probable that this
young girl had, many times, seen her
parents and other older persons about
the house do just what she did, and
the local paper, In recording the event,
has no night toshiit the blame for her
death to "Him who doeth oil things
well" This is little short Of bias.

with kerosene must be prepared to sui
