From its conversations with Senator
Allison it sums up the causes Of fail
l. No pG,ents were IEoshfed fos
the Indians This custom Is the a.
most sure passport to their confidence
2. The interference oil white men
half-breeds, Government agents and
nfracfoes, win any ani al tsopo'
s.t.ons that did not involve immense
sums Of money, IN the way Of sub
sistsscs and annuity goods, fos long
series Of years
). A Determines opposition on the
pHt Of the Young men Of the various
tribes, and also Of The wild tribes OF
the North, 10 The simission OF the
white man 10 any part al the resef-
walton. This, ou readers wiA re-
member, WAS the real cause Of The
disturbance on the ed OF Septem-
Der, when these young Warriors we're
orgsnised for serious lfoatle u case
any OF the chefs should on thai dAy
propose 10 sell the Hiih "a aay
lerms.
1. The extrzy4gaat notions Of the
aayzges - 10 the value of that reser-
walton: the mass OF them believing
tia; :Le Hin. are worth . fabulous
sum 10 the whites for mining psspo-
So.
/ Many Of them believe thai Tim
Ter will soon be exhausted 10 the
present settlements, and that The
white man will gradually encroaeh
upon them. and that in these Hills,
where timber and water are sbun-
dant, they viii finally find their per-
manent home.
One thing may be regarded - GER
fsin, that no agreement can be made
in The near future with them ihst
Congress Or the people viii approve.
The sum offered By the Commission
vas : great deal more than the Hills
are really worth, and We doubt not
more than Congress would consent 70
pay, and cen only b justi6ed On the
grounds that three-fourths Of the
sum offered WAS to be used for their
subsistence, which seems most likely
the Government viii be obliged to
erpend for several yean 70 come. We
have Just looked over the Indian ap
preparation bills Of this year, 10 IS
certain how much money the people
are annually paying these arrogant
and insolent Sioux beggars, and End
that this year there has been appsC-
priated in round numbers the sum OF
q Coo, 300, and find that thi. IS
about an average OF what We have
been paving them for seven years
past OF this sum sl,lO0, 900 was
appropriated outside Of any treaty
obligations, and on purely bumanita-
RAN grounds.
We are forced to conclude tha. the
demands OF these sava-
ges, made in most insolent way,
will likely result in total charge Of
method in treating with the Sioux.
They insist that under the treaty of
Sc no white man 10 allowed on their
Ii this stipulation is TO !
he rigidly enforced, let all the others
be likewise, and let the Government
require these pensioners upon its
bounty to earn their food by labor by |
mining in the Hills, if they are so
rich Is they profess to believe, or be |
made TO feel what it 10 to stand By |
the letter OF treaty stipulations.
