INSTRUCTIONS 20 Indian Commits
kIOuers.

WASHINGTON. August 22.-The
instructions to the Sioux commits
sion, appointed under a recent act
of Congress, are nearly completed.
One of the most important sub
ieots of the negotiation is that rep
resented by the fifth clause of the
instructions, and the President
is strongly impressed with the be-
lief that the agreement which shall
be best calculated to enable the In
dams to become self-supporting is
one which shall provide for their
removal at as early a day as posi-
BILE to the Indian Territory. They
must depend for their support
mainly upon the cultivation of the
soil, and their own country is quite
unfit for that purpose. The supe-
rior climate and soil of the Indian
Territory, and the fact that that
Territory is forever secured to the
Indian people, should afford strong
inducement to the Indians to enter
into such an agreement. The In
dams cannot now live upon their
reservation without the aid of the
government, and it is under no OBJ
legation to continue its supplies Of
food. While no money considera-
ton should be offered them as an
inducement for any undertaking on
their part, it is believed that the
government will willingly furnish
them subsistence, medical assist.
ance and schools until they car
care for themselves, in case of then
removal to the Indian Territory
If, however, they decline to agree
to such removal they should be in
formed that they will be obliged t.
90 to the Missouri river to receiv0
such supplies as shall be provided
under any future act of Congress
and the treaties with them now il
force.

should be punished to the full ex-
tent of the law, and that, upon
application of the proper authority
the President should furnish troops
to suppress violence and preserve
order. The resolution recognized
the validity of the Fifteenth Con-
stitutional amendment. The South
cheerfully acquiesced in that amend
merit yet the enforcement law has
been declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and no law has been passed
to take its place. Neither the
courts or the Executive have any
power, under present legislation, to
enforce the Fifteenth amendment
The enforcement act is IA dead letter,
and no substitute has been passed
under which the President can use
troops to suppress domestic violence
save upon the application of a State
Legislature or Governor. Mr.
Lords resolution is not a law, is
not mandatory, and has no more
binding force than a resolution
passed by a ward meeting. 1t Is
suggestive to the State courts, and
will have a good moral effect at the
South as well as the North. The
Presidents action shows that he is
a tool in the hands Of desperate
politicians it may delude the ne
groes into a belief that Grant Is
about to place the whites under
martial law, but since it is plain
that the resolution confers no more
power on the President than he had
before. we do not believe that much
will come of this sharp trick, ex-
cept to put the white people Of the
South on their guard and to stimu-
late them to greater efforts than
ever before to overthrow a rockies;
and despotic administration. No
Governor has called for troops yet,
nor is it likely that any occasion OF
pretext to do so will arise.

1t is a fact not generally known
that while Generals Crook and

to cope with a superior force of In
