In this weeks issue We give place % the
first division OF the official report OF Judge
!. G. Swan, as Indian Commissioner.
The fact that the suggestions made in this
report by Mr.. Swan, to the official bureau
at Washington, were acted upon aud
adopted by the Government, lends in
creased interest 90 the document itself Il
is well worthy careful pcrusll; and, in
the full and complete manner in which it
deals with the question in hand. all sub
sequent reports made by men in official
capacity have been entirely eclipscd. In
view of the Indian difficulties now pend
ing, it may be profitable for the despen-
sers of law at our national capitol to re-
view this report and compare notes.
