The Indian Policy.

One of the most difficult problems ouI
government has ever been called upOr t.
solve is that OF dealing with the Indians
Nearly every policy That has ever teen
adopted has proved Il failure in some
important respects. 1t Is now matter
of history that the encrOachment of the
white man upon the hunting grounds OF
a5originees has been the primary cause Of
most the wars which have ragged ON our
/ frontiers, from the discovery of North
America to the present time. 1t Is
equally true that when the Indians were
approached in a friendly manner, As in
the case of William Penn, they almost
invariably met friendship with friend
ship, aud confidence with confidence, in
the beginning. But these things are of
the past and the few noble specimens OF
the sons of the forest, lauded In story and
in song, seem to have passed away, and
left degenerate race OF groveling, filthy
and deuased beings, WHO must be the
dregs OF past generations of better men.
Whatever may have been the good or
bad qualities of these red men OF the for
est in the years gone by, We know that a
vast majority OF them now are a set of
beastly, barbarous and cruel wretches,
who pilfer, rob, murder people and burn
houses and property, with, or without
provocation, on all occasions when OPP
portunity offers and they believe they
can escape.
How to deal with such men, is ques-
ton which may well puzzle wise heads.
1t is not compatible with the common
dictates Ofhumanity for our Government
to turn loose its soldiers upon them, and
slaughter them in cold blood. They
appear to be too treacher0uS to trust un-
der any circumstances which tempt
them in the natural bent of their incli-
nations; and they will not remain on
their reservations when the thirst for
blood. plumber and rowing seizes them.
Like the man with the burning desire
for strong drink, they will break over all
restraints, and go upon the war path or
the chase in spite OF promises or the fear
Of punishment.
We know that when the policy of the
Government was apparently aimless, and
the savages were kept in subsection only
by fear of the troops, that our frontiers
were the scenes of devastation, b!oodshed
and ruin; that the exposed settlements
were constantly subject to alarms, and
the unprotected Inhabitants, ever and
anon. were driven in by terror and fright
from their pioneer homes, and a state of
almost ceaseless uneasiness and alarm
was experienced. We know, too that
since the peace policy was adopted, our
people have not felt secure, and during
the past year large number ofshocking
butcheries have been perpetIated, in
nearly every instance upon unprotected
settlers or immigrants.
Now if both the peace policy and the
war policy, have failed, where shall we
look for solution of the difficulty? We
all know how expensive the old order of
things was; and we know that it takes
large sums of money from the national
treasury to feed and fatter the savages
on their reservations. We do not now
have the figures before us, and cannot

definitely say which method has proved
most costly to the nation.
1t is one of the clearest established
facts of our history that the Indian agen-
cies have always been a machine of cor.
.ruption. REGULATIONS have come to be
regarded as almost if not quite legiti'
mate feature of these positions; and an
Indian agent is generally expected to
Feather his nest" out of the stealings OF
his office. This is most lamentable
state of affairs, but is unfortunately nc
fiction.
As the civil administration of Indian
affairs has proved so complete-not to
say disastrous-a failure, would it not
be wise to turn the redskins over to the
War Department and let the military
deal with them? We are inclined to
believe there would be less corruption
and venality, more efficient service
secured, more faithful account render
ed, and the Indians kept under much
better subsection and control.-Learen-

When rogues fall out, several good
things occur, and since the elevator men
were particularly active in getting up
public meetings to denounce the Erie
Canal ring, the canal people retort by
exposing and denouncing the frauds and
extortions of the elevator ring. They
show ameng other things, that while the
entire toll charged by the canals on
grains is II cents per bushel, the charge
of the elevators at Buffalo and New
York is q cents per bushel.
One of the most noticeable facts in
connection with the statement for March
of the condition of national banks, is
that the deposits had grown up to the
enormous amount of $685., 0O0, 900 in last
December as compared with $685., OOO,-
600 on September IL, 1873, thus showing
an increase of $50, 900, 900 over the large
deposits held before the panic. This,
however, was the result of lack of con-
fdence in all business enterprises and
the simple deposit of money in the bank
for safe keeping. The decrease of $40.
100000 of deposits between December
and March indicated the revival of con-
fidence and the withdrawal of capital to
be used in circulation and in the actual
use of currency from hand to hand in
the shops.

Keep the Brain FallOw i'm Childhood.

When we are considering the health
of children, it is imperative not to
omit the Importance of keeping the
brain fallow, as it were, for several
of the first years of their existence The
mischief perpetrated by contrary course. in
the shape of bad health, peevish temper and
developed vanity is incurabe. Some infant
prodigy, which is a standard of mischief
throughout its neighborhood, misleads them !;
but parents may be assured that this early
work is not by any means all gain, even in
the way of work. l suspect it is a loss, and
that children who begin their education late,
as it would be called, will rapidly overtake
those who have been in harness long before
them.
And what advantage can it be that q child
knows more at six years old than its COM
peers, especially if this is to be gained at a
sacrifice of health which may never be re-
gained? There may be some excuse for this
early book-work in the case of those children
who are to live by manual labor. Is it worth
while, perhaps, to run the risk of some
physical injury to them, having only their
early years in which we can teach them book
knowledge? The chance of mischief, too,
will be less, being more likely to be counter
acted by their after-life. But TOR child who
is to be at book work for the first twenty-one
years of its life, what folly it is to exhaust in
the least its mental energy, which, after all,
is its surest implement!

NapOleOnic Intrigues in France.


The Empress Eugene and her son are re.
Of Arenenberg, where they are passing the
holidays. The party comprises several jour
nalists, and the Empress is doing all she can
to win back her way in popularity.
1t is now pretty generally understood that
the Napoleons took away with them in one
shape or another about $780, 100000, and that
they have since spent greater part of this
money in political intrigues for their restora-
ton. They have maintained, and are proba-
bly, still maintaining, wholly or in part, about
forty newspapers in France and other coun-
tries; but their funds have been lately running
short, and they are now trying to do whatso-
ever is to be done by condescension instead
of hard cash.
Mr.. Paul de Cassagnac, the champion of
fallen Empire, is also particularly courted,
both for his pen and his sword. But the ex-
ercise of the latter has been recently circum-
scribed, because two journalists attached to
the editorial department of the RepubHgue
Franchise, M. Gambetta's paper, pass all their
days in practicing fencing, for the avowed
purpose of taking M. Paurs life. His duels,
therefore, have not lately been so frequent as
they formerly were. A few of the older ad-
herents of the Napoleons gathered around
the widowed Empress and her son on the
18th inst, and the young Prince addressed
them with considerable tact and poll teal
ability. He said
"Should the French people some day recall
me to power l will force all honest men to
rally round the Empire by erasing from the
French language the words exile and pro
scription.' If it could only be known what
lessons have learned from the past, what
resolutions l have drawn from experience of
the events which passed under my own eyes,
it would be seen how well I understand that
must only look backward for example and
teaching, but not for objects OF vengeance
and bitterness. A great people are not to be
governed by hatred and revenge" These are
brave words, full of fair promise, and it is
only to be hoped that the Prince will actup to
his principle should he ever have the chance
of doing so
