OUR INDIAN POLICY

The policy Of peace has usually resulted
in war with the savageso It brings about
relations which excite the cupidity of bad
men, and in the purchase Of lands, the
sale Of supplies os che distribution OF
guns and whiskyo.the indians are cheated
and exesperated into waro From the days
of William Penn 90 those Of the present
peace commissioners. efforts have been
made to induce the adoption Of industria!
pursuits Schools have been opened, yes-
ervations assured, farms piowed and
workshops prepared. and yet the whole
blood Indian has rarely accepted this

Tartars, warlike as Scythians, and as IN.

regular toll and systematic order.
The American people have waged
long war with these races Of
opposite instincts. It has gradually
received itself into a conviction that the
Indians do not acknowledge the same
rules Of moral obligation with ourselves.
So the old frontier rule was to put NO
trust in the savage and ''never let an In
dian pass if you've got loaded gun" was
the backwoods motto century ago. We
really can see Go other solution to the
Modoc war Il is the Everglades again,
