committee that a certain agent has
been naughty, and the missionary at
that agency heard him say bad
word then his removal is asked, and
another member Of the church ap.
pointed only to be slaughtered in like
manner. We boast Of American,lib.
! erty. But how much liberty has a
man between the mission and tribe
Of Indians. If he has not the pa
ticnce Of Job he will curse both in
six months time. Compare his re-
sponsibility with. his liberty, then
look for Justice. Either do. away
with agents and make the missionary
agent direct, Or -disconncct- tl,et,,, let
each be free to tend to his own work.
Some way to do away with this con.
tinual quareling between the church
and Indian agents, thereby destroying
the efficiency Of both.
On this agency alone thousands OF
dollars have been spent for school
purposes, and yet not a-sipgle Ponca
has learned to read and write. (
think one great trouble with the mis-
sionaries is. it climbs too high up the
ladder before it commences its work;
it has too much t1leory ard red tame
and not enough practical work. In
stead of teaching them, first cleanli.
ness, how to make clothes, and to
have proper respect for themselves,
something than they can see and real.
ize that their efforts are for their
good, in which they would become
interested and their minds would
grow and desire something new each
day, they start in to make them
christians or members of their church,
build christianity on their filth. The.
real work that should be. done is
stepped over aud they can not make
any practical use, of what they do
learn.
Had {, control Of Indians would
break up as far as possible the tribal
relations, separate them into families,
each ON a piece of land Of their own,
assist them in building neat com.
Portable house, give them team and
farming implements, seed and every
thing that q white man would have
to have to start with, let them know
that they own their own property and
with them tfey must make their
ing; that il sold or destroyed they
would only be replaced by themselves
at their own expense. Let all church
es be free to come among them and
do them sll the good they. could.
With such plan there. is no COED
reason why in a few years they should
not be self supporting and bcttered
every way.
But you say that would cost too
much. | th,nk it has cost something
to keep them in idleness, and Judging
the future BY the past what will il
cost and when is it going to be any
better. There is no injustice In this
plan. 1t gives the Indians a. better
show than white men get, and why
not compel them to do something for
themselves. lust SO long as they are
kept together, fed and clothed, will il
be necessary to feed and clothe them.
l think the government will be safe
in trying some new plan, and we hope
soon to see the Indians bettercd, the
expenses lessencd, ana less wrong in
Indian affairs.

ernment, church and tax payers.
Thousands Of dollars have been spent
yearly! by both church and state, yet
how little has been accomplished.
They are the same ungrateful, idle,
war-likc race of people they were
twenty years ago; indeed I think
they are more troublesome. They
have been fed, clothed and cared for
SO nicely these many years, they be.
gin to think white men their slaves,
and are now very much displeased
that their servants are doing so little
for them. In fact, they have an idea
they are greater than the government,
and that the Great Fsther is afraid Of
ithem;- that he isgiving them all these
things to keep them quiet. They are
like 2 spoiled child, and will probably
grow worse, and more Unreasonable,
till they have to be whipped by the
boys in blue. =
b think the intention of the present
peace policy was very good, bnt it
fails to produce the desired effect.
Indians, as . people are lazy; to feed
them we'll and treat them kindly does
not make them good workers or
good christians; but rather tends TO
make them better gamblers, smoker.
and losfers. Necessity or comIul-
sion are their incentives to labor. 1t
