Indian War and Policy.

The uprising of the Nez Perces Tor
nosebored Indians) in Idaho, has
begun to assume formidable proper
tiOns. Idaho is a territory Of the
Pacific slope, having an area of &c.
294 square miles, and being for the
most part mountainous. Its popula-
ton in 1870 was only 20, ,5S3, of whom
5,S2l were Indians, 4,274 Chinese,
and only 10,6lS whites OF the
whites 5,002 were males and 2,0l6 fe-
males. The sparceneSS Of the white
population, especially Of the fighting
element, may be judged by these
facts. There has never been an Or
ganized outbreak of the Nez Perces
Indians before. From the time of
Lewis and Clark's expedition in 1903
-06, these Indians have been friendly.
1t is said that they are not a noma-
die tribe, like the Sioux, but have
had fixed habitations for many years
and haYe supported themselves by
agriculture. Dispatches from the
scene Of action show that they do not
kill women and children, scalp the
dead nor torture the wounded. The
real and essential cause of the war is
believed to be an unfortunate dis
pute about land titles. Under an
understanding of all the facts Presi-
dent Grant, by an order of June l6,
1878, set apart the WalloWa valley
for those Indians who had the indie
feasible right Of occupancy to it, and
Joseph and his band, who claim that
they were not parties to a eeSsiOn
which had been previously made of
the Wallowa valley to the United
States by an intruding party of In
dians, took possession Of it. However
Gen. Grant, June 10, 1875, revoked
the former order and restored the
WallOWa valley to the public domain.
AS usual meddlesome Indian Agent
was at the bottom Of the trouble. lie
got an Indian faction in the first place
to make the cession referred to, and
sought to disposess the tribe for the
sake of few scattering white settlers
who coveted the possessions of their
red neighbOrs. If Gen, Grant had
stood by his first order there would
have been no disturbance, but his

son will scarcely reach 5000, 600, while
the cost for repairs and maintenance
will reach 81 100000.
The fact is becoming patent to
New Workers that even the Erie Ca
nal cannot successfully compete with
the railroads without posing upon
the taxpayers the burden of keeping
the ditch in repairs. Our own canal
has done rather better than the Erie
Canal Of late years. The State has
paid the interest on a debt Of some
thing like seven millions Of dollars
contracted in its construction, but it
has not been obliged to make up any
deficiency in the working expenses.
Nevertheless, PRECISELY the same
causes that rendered the. Erie Canal
an Improbable concern are destroy
ing the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
For weeks during the very season
when freighting ought to be at its
best, there has been a strike among
the bcatmen which has prevented the
passage ola single Oal-carrying boat.
The cause of the trouble is 50 plain
that only those who Wilfully shut
their eyes fail to see it. The BaIti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company
can carry coal from the Alleghany
mines to Baltimore as cheaply as it
can be carried by canal to q Gorge
town. The mining companies pre-
fer to ship by rail, unless the boat
men can offer large inducement in
the way of low freights. The sched-
ule now in force affords them a bare
living, but the railroad can still
underbid them. They appeal to the
Canal ROard for a reduction of tolls,
but they are informed that the pres
ent rates with the reduced tonnage
barely suffice to meet current eXpen-
seS. Then they further COmplicate
the situation and increase their own
miserieS by getting up a strike. For
nearly three weeks they have main
tanned blockade, and allowed no
boat laden with coal to pass down.
One of three things must be done {:
The coal companies must pay higher
freights; if they persist in their re-
fusal to do this the Canal Board must
reduce the tolls; or the bOatmen
must succumb and take what they
can get.
No matter what the result of this
struggle may be, the utter inability
ofthe canal to compete with the rail-
road in the coal traffic has been fully
demonstrated. Every year the one
will grow stronger and the other
weaker, until the final solution of
the problem will be the abandon
ment of a ditch that cannot afford
those who navigate it a decent op-
portunity of making a living, nor yet
pay the cost Of keeping itselfin re-
pair, Canals have had their day

revocation of it has led to the present
difficulty, Chief Joseph having de.
clared that on his paternal soil, re-
stored to him and reoccupied after
exile, he would die.
The outbreak in Idaho, like other
Indian disturbances of late years,
comes of the most direct injustice to
the Indians, the government having
doue nothing to prevent land robbers
and speculat"rs from inflicting
wrongs upon the red men and at the
same time neglected to provide ade-
quate means to prOtect peaceable
whites from the effects Of the natural
resentments which the Indians would
feel under such treatments. The mill
sitary forces eftfia Northwesb have
been just large enough to hold out a
promise of protection to settlers
which has proved delusive. In the
meantime regiments ofsOldiers have
been kept in the South on ilIegiti-
mate, unnecessary and degrading
service, doing no good, but on the
contrary much harm, and bedeYilfng
whole communities and States, while
the Indians have been bedeviled on
the frontiers, being shamefully cheat
ed by rascaily agents and provoked
to that fierce Vengeance which sense
OF wrong always arOuSeS in savage
minds, while nothing has been done
to defend the white population from
these terrible Uutbursts. The pres
ent administration, by its wise and
cOnsiliatOry policy toward the South
is left at liberty to remove the troops
from that section topOints which are
Threatened with real danger, and we
accordingly hear of the movement
of fedaral forces from the South to-
Idaho.
There is some fear, on account of
the success OF the savages in several
preliminary engagements, that there
will be a prolonged war. General
Howard, of Howard University
fame, who, it is stated, has always
been mightier with the pen than the
sword, is telegraphing vigorously to
Washington, but does not seem to
have handled lis troops with much
skill. On the other hand the heroic
conduct of Captain Randall and his
sixteen Idaho volunteers in q late
Indian fight against trem%nG6JtS odds
shows plainly enough that our count
ry may rely upon volunteers in the
future as in the past for the most Sc
ri0us fighting she will ever have to
do, and that a regular army is only
needed as nuclC us of skill and or
ganizatiOn, around which the i'm
mense physical force of the country,
when necessary, can be rallied. In
the light of the splendid valor of the
immortal seventeen how silly APP
pears the gascOnade of Gen. Sherman
that America needs a regular army
to keep her from becoming a mob!
A few regiments of mounted vOlun-
teers, in response to call from the
Governors Of the States nearest the
Indian country, and put under the
command of an able officer, would
seem, if at once called out, to be Yuf-
ticient for the present trouble. Mean
time we say we shall have no per-
manent peace with the Indians gen.
orally till the system of dealing with
them as independent nations comes
to an end.-BuHO. Sun.
