or better habits of the whites.
ton by such means has proven failure,
as, in the nature Of things, was inevitable.
To tell people of 10 civilization of the
customs and habits of state of existence
they have not seen is nonsense, it does
not convey to them any conception of it.
They must see it; must be associated
with it, or they will not learn. The only
way therefore to eivilize the Indians is to
associate them with civilization; they
must be surrounded by it.
The solution of the whole problem
lies in the establishment of government
over the Indians, the allotment of lands
to them az white people own it. and the
opening Of the country to white people.
Were this done, the Indian territory
would soon he filled with intelligent,
law-abiding white people; the Indians
would he surrounded with civilization,
and could soon learn its ways; the coun-
try now fertile waste, would become
the garden of the west, and the commer-
cia1 avenues of the whole western coun-
try would he opened. Were this done
their presence there would not he dam
age 70 the country, and would be great
benefit tn them. But to fasten them
there. lock white people out, and stop up
commercial avenues, il a most disastrous
blow at western prosperity, and confines
the Indians to nomadic barbarity for al
time.-Kansas City Journal Of Commerce.

LAST Wednesday it was announced in
the telegraph dispatches that the long
continued strike among the coal miners
in Pennsylvania had come to an end, the
miners making an unconditional surren'
der. It is a matter of rejoicing to the
country at large that this prolonged con-
flict between capital and labor has termi'
mated. While we condemn all acts of vi.
olence and disorder on the part of the
miners, yet if the reduction of their
wages was unjust We are sorry that star
walton made it necessary for them
to surrender. Labor is the foundation
OF all capital. and if laborers will united
ly assert their rights in an intelligent,
orderly and peaceable manner they can
generally receive a just compensation for
work performed. Strikes have become
unpopular with the mass of our citizens
more on account of the drunkenness and
disorderiy conduct Of the strikers than
from their demands being unjnst-as
they sometimes are. With the equality
before the law that is enjoyed by all
classes in this country those who per-
form manual labor have it in their power
to demand and receive just wages, and
in every contest between labor and capital
where the former has had to unjustly
succumb to the latter, we believe the
cause can be given in one word. whisky.
