has gone to Red Cloud agency on the CON-
mission of Investigation,
The Board Of Indian Commissioners
have issued an address to the Christian
public asking support for humane policy
toward the Indians. They saythis policy,
despite the assaults upon it, has been emf
nently successful. The Indians are taking
up the manners and occupations of civil
lied life. ln regard to the Indian agents,
while they admit that perhaps few may
have become corrupt, they feel confident
that the government was never 80 faith
fully served in this respect as at the pres
cnt time. Neither the board nor the gov
ernment could be justified in accepting
loud mouthed accusations as an evidence
of guilt, as most of the charges come from
disappointed contractors and traders,
whose hope of gain under more careful
letting CT contracts and rigid inspection
of supplies is gone. Nor, on the other
hand, would they be justified in Withholding
the most rigid investigation. when, as in
some cases, the charges are made by good
and responsible parties. They appeal to
the Missionary Board to nominate none
but the best of agents, and state in ali
measures of reform they have the cordial
support of the government.
