Congressman schleicher. of lie,

Congressman Schleicler, of Texas
has misgiv!ngs concerning the present
peace on the Mexican border. lie
thinks that the next important news
from that country will he THAT the
Mexicans of the State of Tamaulipas
have invaded the adjacent United
States territory. lie finds grounds for
these apprehensions in his private
advices from his district, which com
prises the entire Rio Grande border
country, and in copies of Mexican
newspapers just yer the border, which
have recently reached him. If such is
the case, the Government of the United
States ought to, and probably will be,
able to prevent a serious denouement
by prompt military movements. Ger
tainly little or no confidence Il he
placed in the Mexican authorities to
suppress the ~brigandagr that prevails
along the border.

Religion Among The Indians.


1t is very evident from the present
condition of affairs at the White Earth
Indian Agency, in Minnesota, that Sec
tartan prosecuting among the red men
by different religious denominations of
white men does not accrue to the Indi-
ans advantage, nor contribute much
to the general stock of ''peace on earth
and good will toward men," 1t appears
that two rival priests, IL E~piscopalian
and the other Catholic, located them
selves at this agency and began to make
converts, each rs best he could. As
could easily have beer foretold by any
shrewd observer of the inevitable eff
fects of rivalry among missionaries,
the Indians seeing the difference be-
tween these two men, and thinking no
doubt that fighting was as legitimate in
religion as in secular matters. took
sides with their respective parties, and
the feeling ran so high that Father
Tomazin, the Catholic. had TO be re-
moved from the agency altogether.
If the matter were not so intrinsi-
cally serious, it would be entirely ludi-
crous to witness the paucity Of actual
appreciation which the average Indian
manifests in regard to the higher, or
even the more essential, tenet of
Christian belief. Pope was undoubtedly
right in saying that poor Go saw
God in clouds and heard him in the
wind, for surely nothing a well be
more cloudy or windy than that faith
by which the Indian is moved to love,
fear or worship. 1t may indeed he
doubted whether the Indian in his pres
ent state is susceptible of living q re-
ligious life in the real, true meaning of
the term. In Elliott's day, a few of
them were brought under the power of
moral things, and, for n while, Mt least
until after Elliott died, manifested gen.
uine reformation of heart and conduct.
But the Indian of to-day is confessedly
much lower in the scale of knowledge
and capacity than he was at the time
VIC NDllIlllN Mdo llob hloSoN'i''H ~
that no argument could rest on this
basis.
From the recent exhibitions of feel
ing at White Earth, and the unpleasant
results likely to flow therefrom, it will
be entirely suicidal for more than one
denomination hereafter to attempt
evangelic work among Indians at one
place and at one time. To confuse
their heads with Observation-Disclosures
tions, or try to have two denominations
live together ut the same agency, is not
only foolish but cruel. Neither will it be
profitable to attempt TO do more than
inculcate n few of the simplest elements
of common morality, leaving all the
higher spiritual mysteries and doctrines
to be apprehended gradually, if at all.
What the Indians need is not the jargon
of warning sects, but the plain truths
and living examples of Christianity
among them, SO that they may learn
the good ways Of the white man, and
not be encountered with any more moral
evil than they naturally inherit. IChica-
