Who Inhabits cur Frontier {?

IT may be interesting to u readers
TO know the expressed opinion OF a
Nebraska bishop in regard to the nat
ural religious instincts" Of the noble
Indian, as compared with the white
outlaws, thieves and marauders who
inhabit our frontier. The Inter-Ocean
of a recent date, contains the follow
ing dispatch:
Bishop Hare, Of Niobrara lcctured
In : owark, n. J., IN Friday evening
on the subject Of Indian missions. He
said that despite oil his savagery, the
Indian is by nature a mat Of religious
instincts. and can be ch~ristianiZed.
The white men on our frontiers are
mainly outlaws thieves and murder
ers-who live by selling fire water To
the red man.
Here you have the whole subject in
n nutshell. Such assertions, coming
from ''divines" in high position, do
more 10 create and sustain
ideas in regard 10 our settlers, and
the character OF the worthless vpga-
bonds who roam over our prairirs
watching for favorable opportunities
to run off stock or murder the unprO-
tected frOntiersmen. that can be cor
Iected in years. We can say from
personal knowledge, that there is less
ihieving, less outlaWry, less murders,
and less whisky-guzzling to-day in
the frontier counties Of Nebraska.
than there is in any locality of the
same number Of inhabitants in any
State on the Pacific coast. Here we
have no fences To enclose u stock,
no barns in which To lock nur grain
and machinery, and no stables tn bar
against thieves; ami yet we seldom
hear of depredatiuns. Could the
farmers of New Jersey, or ave Pur-
itans of New England, trust their
neighbors with no better security
than we have? The Inhabitants OF
our frontier, as n class, are intelligent,
industrious, patient, and law-ahiding.
and will compare favorahly with any
class of people on the globe, the asser-
ton of Bishop Hare to the contrary
