The Country Press,

There are few people who do the coun-
try paper full justice. Most Everybody is
inclined to look away over the shoulders

ing more reading matter, and then make
comparisons. There are people who act
ually believe it impossible to find person
with common sense, with industry or with
brains in the Office of a country newspaper;
newspaper can have no charms for them
unless it can be mystified under strange
personality, and in buying copy they
proceed upon the same grounds as in the
purchase of bar of soap-they would
rather have one that comes from the city,
because it must necessarily be so much
better in every sense than home pro-
duction. The same man would laugh at
you if you should refuse to patronize the
crossroads mill, because you believed you
had rather get your flour from the city.
The country newspaper is one of the most
important attributes of every town in the
United States. When a colony settles
anywhere with the intention of building a
village, the first thought is a newspaper;
the press is thus in the very vanguard Of
civilization. 1t is the useful agent in
every place of progress and growth. There
is not another single power that can do so
much good, patient work in the way of
building up as the local newspaper. 1t is
not altogether important how it is edited,
whether with ability or not, so that it be con-
Quoted with an industry and enterprise at
least side by side with the town-if it can
afford to keep few years in advance it is
all the better. A country paper that had
little else than advertisements would be
an immense help to any place, for adver-
tisements constitute most reliable index
to the character, size, business and gen.
eral condition of the town. To the
stranger who may have looked in pros
pective way upon a place. the advertise
ments are the invaluable part of the pa
pers that have been sent him. Without a
newspaper, with its local news and bust
age American city or village be? 1t would
surely be unknown of its neighbors.
The country weeklies ought to be the
best supported newspapers of the whole
land, for they contain news and gossip that
cannot be found in any of the city dailies,
The farmer can learn from his local paper
if he prefers to take 1t instead of some
more expensive publicatlon-how much
his neighbor's sixty-acre farm sold for.
how the schools are prospecting, the price
of butter and eggs at the village market,
and what improvements are in progress
through the section in which he lives. He
can get none Of this in the city paper, and
he cannot be thoroughly useful either
without such items of light information
1t is not always that the best towns sup
port the best newspapers, but it is strictly
a fact that no place ever gets the credit Of
being thrifty or enterprising until it can
send out a frst-class paper, and thai
always depends more upon the people thar

dian laws ought to be just, humane and con-
slderate; but the superior sense of Congress
must decide what these laws shall be, and
they must be enforced with frmness, de-
cision and vigor that will convince the In
dams of the futility of resistance.
This inevitable change in our Indian policy
is imposed by the force of circumstances and
II the government has not yet quite grown TO
II 1t will very soon. A good beginning was
made in 1871, when Congress passed the law
forbidding the Executive to make any further
treaties with the Indian tribes. The newspa-
per correspondents at Washington during the
visit of Red Cloud and his associates seem to
have forgotten this important statute in their
perpetual use of the word ''treaty" as apphcs-
bic to the proposed arrangement with the Sioux
chiefs. The act of March 8, 1871, declares
that mo Indian nation or tribe within the
territory of the United States shall be ac-
knowledged or recognized as an independent
nation, tribe or power, with whom
the United States may contract by
treaty" This great step toward fun
damental change in our Indian pol
icy has made, as yet but little impression
on the public mind, because it is prospective
IN its operation and leaves existing Indian
treaties untouched. The act expressly pro-
vides that mo obligation of any treaty law
fully made and ratified with any such
Indian nation or tribe prior to March s.
1871, shall be hereby invalidated or i'm
paired" The government must of course,
keep faith; but if the old Indian treaties
could be annulled the field would be clear
for new and wise Indian policy. Provision
has been made by Congress for terminating
existing treaties with any tribe which COM
mences hostilities against the United States
wise and provldent enactment, founded
on principle of the law of nations, by
which subsisting treaties are annulled be-
should excite their tribe to hostilities when
they get back their treaty will be as dead as
if they had signed REIMBURSEMENT during
their late visit. The statute here referred
to was passed in 1862, with view
to prevent the Indians from fighting in the
interest of the Confederates but this acct
dental origin does not impair its value for
present purposes. It's language is, "When-
ever the tribal organization of any Indian
tribe is in actual hostility to the United
States the President is authorized, by procla-
nation, to declare all treaties with such tribe
abrogated by such tribe" If the Sioux
chiefs 60 home and stir up hostilities they
will as efectually annul their treaty as if
they had signed q REIMBURSEMENT, without
gaining the advantages which the govern
ment offered them in compensation. We
hope the government will avail itself of this
means Of abrogating Indian treaties as fast
as occasions may arise, and when the existing
treaties are out of the way it will be at full
liberty to deal with the Indian question in
manner adapted to the extension of our set
Elements into the great Western regions

Red Clouds Abortfve Visit-our Ina
dian Policy.

M regret should be felt at the obstinate re-
fusal OF the Sioux chiefs, in their late visit to
Washington, TO sign REIMBURSEMENT of the
treaty by which they hold their present terri
tory. We hope this failure may put an end
to the foolish practice Of Indian embassies to
Washington to negotiate with the government.
The time has come when the Indian tribes
should be no longer dalied with and bar
gained with, but governed. Like all other
people who reside on our territory, they must
be subject to our laws. No other race is
permitted to visit the federal capital to ar
range the conditions on which they will yield
obedience. Neither whites nor negroes as
sert any such privilege, and her pretonsions
would be secuted as nsn7erable If tuey did.
For all other clisses q our population, except
the Indians, Congress passes such laws as i
deems just and expedent, and enforces obe-
dience The time bas come when II must
make its authority felt by the Indians in
the same absoluts manner. They must
no longer be permitted to judge for
themselves, but tho government must
Judge for them what laws and regulations
shall be binding on their race within the
limits Of the national jurisdiction. The In

and that in very short time. In point OF
fact, we have already made important steps
toward it. Personal and business indebted
ness has been immensely lessened in the last
three years. Farmers aud planters owe but
little money. They are generally poor; bat
good crop, sold at fair prices
this year, will make them prosperous.
OF our business complications the greater part
has been Strengthened out by the Sheriff or by
private arrangement between debtor and credi-
tor. An immense, an almost incredible
amount of our accumulated capital of the
savings of the people during many decades
has been either lost or as good as lost
being temporarily unproductive; hence new
enterprises lag and speculative improvements
get no encouragement. But any one who
carefully looks over the country will see
that really sound and valuable enterprises
which can be carried on with moderate
capital and will bring moderate but also
quick returns do not lack support. Our
condition just now is that of man who has
o handsome income and lives in q small
house. Such O man has not long to wait
before he is master of the situation.
He is already prosperous. And SO is
the country at the present moment. 1t is
substantially in sound condition. 1t could
bear losses to-day tar better than three years
ago. 1t is richer now than it has been since
1861. A bad crop would distress rs less this
year than it would have done in 1871 or 1872.
We have put stop 10 the outgo, and our in
come is so great that only prudent economy
and sound business Management, are needed
to bring us back to a wholesome prosperity.
1t viii be some years before we are ready to
enter on another career Of wild speculation,
and those who understand by prosperity
notions Of living at the expense of others will
have to wait while. For them the times will
continue to be hard but for legitimate in
dustry the present promises to be the last
hard year, and if we could be sure of certain
wholesome and needed reforms in the govern
ment, which would give rest and good gov
eminent to the South and a sound currency to
the nation, our period Of hard times would
be substantially at an end
