Poor Oregon And Nevada.

DeadwoodC Champion,
1t will take some time for the ac-
cursed philauthropic dam lhooh of
the east, and especially eastern mem
bers of congress, to realize that the
white people Of the west the
west, and the land they occupy, and
hat congressman from the east as
well as the west are elected to serve
the people of the whole country, and
especially are they elected to see that
every American citizen is protected
in his life, liberty und property.
Heretofore, and even now, the
congressional Indian hero worship
pers. susta ned by a lot of "tender-
foot" newspapers, have, by their
blind monomaniaism, impeded the
wheels of government, by Withholding
from frontier settlers their protection
from the savage infesting " coun-
try and raiding on our fellow ctzens
of Oregon and Idaho and the Black
Hill as by law, the constitution and as
citizens they are entitled to. The life
of n white mar ought to count more
than a whole tribe of red devils, who
neither reap, SOW or produce who
exis. only to destroy, and whose pro
genv can have no higher aspiration
than existing as national paupers.
We wonder when the west will, in
the majesty of its greatness, send
some man to congress who has a just
appreciation of this subject of Indian
paupers and white mems rights, and
also the grit, brains and eliquenoe
to place the question of American
citizens rights in its proper light
and obtaining for us of the west the
Legislation which we are now so un-
Justly deprived of. We are philan-
thropists in the broadest sense of the
term. We believe in the protection
OF the rights Of every man, and the
O abuse of every animal, but we
do not think that in our desire to do
justice to the Indians, it becomes a
first duty to entirely disregard the
rights due to ourselves, our families
and our pioneer fellow citizens of
other states and territorys. The In
dians, by all laws of equity and COM
mon sense, are merely tolerated, and
when they intrude on any country
necessary to keeping up the western
tide of immigration, they are mere
ly tolerated in%teriopers. Either that
or white men have no rights in the
west, Which is it? is a question
that some of these days will loom up
and burst on the country with as
startling effect as a clap of thunder
in a clear sky.
