him The results Of every treaty, every
stipulation Of peace and every concession of
territory, point 10 but one conclusion, viz
that the Indian is not to be trusted. Witch
craft and mystery alone can influence him
and that not long. Our belief is that the
only way to manage him is that adopted in
the management Of any animal that is true
to brutal instincts. Persuasion, sacrifice,
concession he spurns as the swine would
jewels. He repudiates all forms Of society,
demanding limitess forests in which to roam
free and subject to no restraint.
The negro, though degenerate through
long ages Of license, is Of religious nature,
susceptible of being moulded by christian
and moral surroundings. Malay, arab,
esquimau, each possess some small
spark Of moral sense that may be
famed into better manhood. But neither
Longfellow, a Parkman, Jesuit or a
miner has been able to dispel the conviction,
founded upon the accumulated evidence of
over three centuries of bitter experience,
that the North American Indians cannot bo
civilized. And yet from that last desper.
ate resort Of annihiating them, we shrink
both as individuals and as a nation. We
cheerfully agree to the expense required to
preserve this intractabe race till it shall be-
come extinct by its own laws Of self-destruc-
ton rather than sweep it at once from the
earth.
Meantime, however, the frontier must be
guarded. General Sherman has recently
shown, as the sad news Of the slaughter OF
Custer and his troops has attested, how iu-
adequate has been the military force pro.
vided. The senseless cry Of "reduce, re.
duce !" goes out from the halls Of congress.
1t is safe to say that unless immediate ap.
preparations are made for the Indian emeE-
gency, the leadership Of the democrats will
not be confded in, to the extent they might
desire. And it seems to most people that
the theory oil one white man being match
for five warriors, is not tho tactics by which
victory will be won. The Indians with
their superior knowledge Of local topography,
and their skulking mode Of warfare are to
be overcome only by excess Of numbers.
How the three hundred died, the odds
they fought against or the number Of In
dams they slew, will probably never be &C.
curately known. The fact is of itself les
soma sad one, too-that larger army
must be raised and that the Indian bureau
ought at once to be merged into the war de-
partment. 1t must not be forgotten that
the arms with which the Sioux fought we're
all obtained frpm white men. The war
already precipitated is not to be Of insignif-
cant proportions. The Sioux reservation
consists Of 10000 square miles with pop
ulatiOn Of over $4,000. 10 these will be
added, no doubt, many hitherto neutral
tribes. While the loss of so brilliant com.
mander and Of so large number Of excel.
lent officers is mourned, it is to be hoped
that some prompt, decisive, efficient action
will be taken to expiate the blood already
shed aud subdue, it possible, the wretched
remnants of bloody and worthless race

The Frontier War.

And now the Indian problem looms up
more vexing and ugly than ever. The
horrid massacre of General Custer though
the result Of rashness or as Sheridan puts it,,
"superabundance Of courage" and Of his
260 followers, causes a cry for speedy VEN
gance and the question comes home, what
shall be done with these intractablo and
treacherous red men p That the lax and
irresponsible way in which the government
has managed the affairs of the Indian bu.
reau is remotely the cause of the recent dis.
aster, no one who has watched the progress
Of events will doubt. The trickery Of post.
traders and the continual encroachments Of
miners constitute the primary reason for
this fresh outburst OF lerocious savagery.
An Indian is an Indian, unreliable, rapa-
cious and degenerate beyond all influences
Of refinement. Nor is he to be tempered
with. They have false conception Of his
character who suppose his friendship is pur-
ehasable with trinkets and frippery. Some.
thing ought to have been learned from the
long history Of our dealings as nation with

He of the Celestial Kingdom.

The miniature Mongolian who essayed to

night in the Unreasonable superiority Of
celestial civilization over the American
standard has bitten off rather a larger lump
than he can conveniently chew. This big

is thought to be an emissary from the ORR
entail dominion, commissioned to relieve our
benightcd nation Of certain erroneous impress
sions concerning the attributes Of the opium
smoker. His Seli-contained highness pro.
ceeded to pass judgment upon certain impro-
prieties his almond eye had detected, like
the raising Of ones feet into an attitude oil
comfort, the angularity Of the Americans
walk as contrasted with the graceful curves
described by his own movements, and the
utter barrenness Of our alphabet compared
with the magnificent pcnitude of Chinese
characters. There he stood in his loose and
fluttering robes, with his sacred cue Of
