The Indians.

The report Of Indian Commissioner Smith is
very important document, and a review OF
the proceedings Of the council with the Sioux
delegation in Washington last May. He Ia
meDts the failure of the Commission OF
which Senator Allison was Chairman, to OBJ
tain from the sioux REIMBURSEMENT OF their
title to the Back Hills, as he is aW re that
one thousand or more miners have made heir
way Into the Sioux country in the face OF the
most stringent prohibltory ORDERS by the
military authorities. A large number OF
miners have organized into an association for
mutual protection, and have adopted laws
and regulations; nave staked out and reserved
tier claims in the right of which they expect
hereafter to be protected In this compllca-
ton OF affairs Commissioner Smith cOnsid-
ers that there is but one alternative
for the Government either to ncrease
the military force SO as to compel q strict oD-
servance Of the treaty rights OF the Sioux, by
preventing all intrusion, or to put such re-
stnctions upon the exercise OF the large
bounty now granted to the Sioux as to form
an argument that wall be Likely to procure
their assent to the cession of this country.
He admits thatth occupation and possession
of the Black Hills by white ruen is inevitable
but no reason exists for the making of this
inevitably an OCCASION IL wrong or injury to
the Sioux.
The commissioner recommends strongly the
expulsion OF all those persons known as
- squaw men, or the white husbands OF
squaWs from the Indian reservation; the re-
movatxf Spotted Tail and Red Cloud agencies
