General Towards Indian Policy.

Henceforth, individuals Of tribes al
peace with the United States, who par,
| ticlpate with hostile tribes in acts OF
war, are to be demanded of the tribes,
to be tried for crime by the courts. This
new policy he then and there instituted
ny demanding hostages for the delivery
OF the offenders, and by Selling chief.
upon the spot, to be held until the hos
tages were given.
That this astonished the Indians may
easily be imagined. Hitherto while the
tribes were upon the reservations draw
ing their allowances. individual Indians
even chiefs, would take turn with any
hostile tribes for scalps and plumber. and
at their leisure resume their occupation
OF drawing rations. The chiefs denied
responsibility; said they could not re-
strain their young men, and so on. The
government, regarding these tribes a.
nations, could not bring individuals tc
account, and was too lenient to make wal
on the tribe for individual olfepses which
the chiefs disclaimed And so the
young Indians had immunity in this at.
tractive exercise.
But Gen. Howard has surprised them
with new idea. The Indians are to
be held subject to the laws of the coun-
try, at least while the tribes are by
treaty at peace. At such times individ.
ais who do hostile acts are to be treated
as offenders against the laws, and are to
be tried for crime. To require tina
chiefs to seize and deliver these offend.
ers is justfiable adaptation of this ad
minlstration Of justice to the present con-
ditions.
The policy is new, and its beginning
vigorous. One of the great irupostures
OF the reservation and subsidy system
has been that, while the tribe was pre-,
tending to be at peace, and was support
ed by the government, the young braves
OF the tribe would join the hostiles and
take turn at war. Gen. Howard has
struck blow at this practice. It's the
first time that any practice has been
presented which holds the Indians to
Just responsibility - Cincinnati (Ohio)
