The Nez Perce Reservation. WHY the
Distinction.

INC OFe9oatdn and other papers ~
Oregon are urging that all the Iudi
ans of that State west of the Cascades
embracing upwards of 1000, be placed
on one reservation to be set apart on
the coast west OF the Coast Range ol
mountains, and that the amount of no..
OOO acres Of land is more than ampls
Tor all their wants. AS every man "a.
miliar with the coast well knows. nearly
four, ,ffths of that land is heavily tim
bered land, and consequently for agri.
culture, by means of which it is intend.
ed the Indians shall derive their main
subsistence, it will require generations
of time to subject it to the plow, rem
derlng its present condition compare.
lively worthless for cultivation, so that
not more than $4,000 acres could now
be made available for the support Of
these Indians. Yet this amount is re-.
garded by the wise men OF Oregon as
more than ample for these Indians.
Let us now look at the contrast between
that contemplated reserve aud the Nez
Perce reserve. This last reserve EN-
braces 900 square miles of land or
576,OOO acres, nearly four fifths of
which is good agricultural land and
ready now for the plow, and each acre
is capable Of producing annually on an
average 30 bushels of wheat per acre.
Nearly $50, 900 acres of this is already
surveyed into 20 acre lots at the ex.
pense of the government for the bene-
fit of ttese Indians, not one -Gfticth part
of which has ever been occupied or cul-
tlvated IN any manner by them, when
their number was nearly $500. Now
it is doubtful whether full and accur-
ate census Of what Indians are remain
ing on the reserve will show 900 men,
and children. OF course those
who have been engaged with the hos
tiles, been killed and gone are not to be
provided for. This then leaves 576
acres of land for each man, woman and
child remaining, and if We reduce the
number to the heads of families and
single men over 81 years of age, the
same as our land laws for the white cit
zen to hold land, there is not remain.
ng more than 300 of that class SO
hat the present limits of the reserva.
ion give TO each head of a family and
single man over 81 years of age, the
enormous amount of 1920 acres of land
,r twelve times the amount allotted to |
he white man. If the Indian did or |
would improve and cultivate this land
nd cause it to bring forth products to
nrich them, and the country generally,
here might be proprlety in allowing
hem to retain this amount of land.
,ut even then it would evince on the
art of the government an unjust dis
rimination 10 favor Of the Indian over
1e white man. But the Indian will
OF cause this land to be cultivated, but
i'll suffer on al average 99-l00 Of all
lis land to remain non-productive for
heuco, even under the most :
hcient efforts of the agents

lndian wants hunt ng grounds. This
contemplates that be is to get his sub.
sistence by hunting aud not by agricul-
ture, aul give them then only hunting
ground. If he wants both, and Is at
peace with the government he can oc.
cupy jointly with the white man all
suitable hunting grounds without their
being set apart in reservation. If he
be inclined to hostility, the government
should in every case see to it that hs
possess no firearms or implements Of
death IN any form. But some say that
the Indians are stock raiseys and they
must have large ranges. II is true that
some of the Nez Perces have had lavge
bands of stock, that it has constituted
their principal source of wealth. But
it is equally true that l60 acres Of land
to each Indian of the Nez Perce tribe,
properly cared for has been more than
ample for the support Of all the stock
the Nez Perces possessed at one timo
since the reservation was first establish.
ed. White men too are stock raisers,
in sections of country where there are
no Indian lands, aud individuals often
possess more stock than can be sup.
ported from 100 acres OF land, but they
provide themselves with land from
Others in their vicinity who raise com.
paratively no stock. Why should not
the Indians be forced to do the same
thing? If the advocates of these unlim.
tied reservations tor the ostensible ben.
etit OF Indians, admit that the object Of
the reservations is to foster and nur.
ture the Indian in his habits Of idIeness,
and suffer hinato keep up his nomadic
habits without ever coming in contact
with the whites, then their clamor for
large reservations is proper. But the
professed object of the reservation sys-
tenn is to bring the Indian to abandon
his nomadic wanderings and induce him
to adopt and practice the industries 10.
cident to civilized humanity. The sys.
tenn of large reservations for Indians,
with tens OF thousands of acres Of the
best lands of the country for them to
merely roam over at will, can never
bring about this result. nor will il ever
teach the Indians industry, economy,
and self supporting labor such as be.
longs to civilized man. The Nee Perce
reservation should be curtailed in its
to fifth its present ex..
tent, aud provision should at once bs
made to effect this and open the bal.
ance for settlers, and thereby induce it's
and productiv eness to enrich
he whole country.

An eminent German geologist,
Herr Edward Suess, Professor Of
Geology at the University of Wen
ma, and widely known throughout
Europe for his scientific works and
researches, has recently published
q remarkable book, entitled, s"Ihe
Future of Gold" in which as q
mineralogist of authority he asserts
positively that the total production
of gold from the remotest epoch
known to the present time has not
been large enough to authorize the
universal establishment of the sim
gle gold money standard; and that
mankind is in far greater danger of
an ultimate gold famine than of the
exhaustion of the coal beds of the
earth. as was once apprehensively
considered possible.
