make in regard to the settlement ol this much vexed and knotty .ques- tion, let what is said be tempered with moderation and discretion and with proper regard for the feelings of everybody. So far as we are con cerned we see no possibility of any good coming from the further agita- tion of this matter at the present time. It is now evident that the holders of our bonds will not give us chance to get them in at living rates. So why dilly daily with them longer. We think the best thing that can be done now is to let the matter rock along until our creditors show disposition to meet us with a proposition for such an adjustment as our financial condition will iusti- fy us to entertain. Therefore we, too, say peace on the finance ques- tion and harmony in the Democratic ranks. We need harmony and g thorough organization just st thas time, and we must have it if we wish to see the fall election result in credit and honor to the party and profit to the State. We want good tickets el4cted in every county and q good one for the State. To secure this end we MUST have harmony and organization.

 wigh q hearty goodwill we say Amenl 10 the sentiment above ex
 pressed by ihe Gazette. The dis eussion Of the Adams Redfeld plzn was loag, sharp snd bitter one, and now that ii IS s.s dead dog we say pc&ce io its ashes and peace among our newspaper brethren on that score. There Is noE no use of crim- inaIsons and re-erimiRaflons in rela- tioa b that matter. Both parties ic the discussion gave and received hard blows during the time while it was pending.

The teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1876-1878, 1878-01-19
PerVersiOn.

The B. Statesman in speaking OF
John Clark. now Judge Clark, who
acted as chairman of the mass meeting
in Lewiston some years ago, on the d.
vision Of Idaho and annexation to
Warrington, uses the following Ian
guage: ''The chairman of the meeting
him,elf wrote a letter to Hon. John
Haley, then delegate from Idaho at
Washington, which had not partical
of annexation fervor about it." Now we
will quote from that self same letter of
Judge Clark to John HALEY as follows:
81 have yet to see or hear one of our
people in North Idaho, who is opposed
to DIVISION" Gas all seemed for it I
joined the throng." This is what the
the chairman of that meeting said in
his letter to delegate Haley, and makes
oul position more strong than ever that
the movement is spontaneous and uni
velsal among the people of North Idaho
and was at that time without, as Mr..
Wiley says, the stimulus of the pros.
pective state government. Surely Mr..
Statesman out of the mouth of your
own witness you have convicted your.
self. The other allegations in your arti-
Gle are equally fallacious.
The teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1876-1878, 1878-01-19

the present hostile attitude OF Indians
who have been the wards Of the reser.
walton system is such as to defy the
whole force Of the American army to
prevent their outbreak, and the murder
of our frontier settlers, and each sue
ceeding year of the administrations of
these reservations by these religious
societies, is only rendering our Indian
difficulties more and more complicated.
We say then what we have before
urged, that it is the duty of the govern
ment to surrender the control Of these
Indian matters over to the War Depart
ment, and hold out to the Indian priv
ilege of taking up and holding land in
severalty, the same as to the whites.
Make him amendable to the white
mans laws, and protect him in all his
rights as subject of the government,
and not as ward. Make him earn his
livelihood like others, and suffer him no
longer like rat to gnaw, at the public
crib, to gather in store thousands Of
dollars only to enrich contractors and
agents who have the disbursing of this
money. AS Mr.. Cain says: the better
portion of the Indians would, to-day,
prefer to Homestead lands in severalty
and occupy them, than to be dealt with
under the present reservation system.
Of course we do not expect the agents
to encourage this movement, because it
robs them of their own fat pickings.
But this can be fully explained to the
Indians in spite of these agents and the
more intelligent Of the Indians will en-
brace the principle and the others will
in due time follow, and peace will come
of it, and great saving to the treasury
of:'the government.

the streams which make from the noun.
tains, which are of great value, as the
logs and lumber from them can readily
be utilized by means Of the streams for
purposes of supplying the prairie lands
below, where wood and lumber will al
ways be in great demand. We say then
that to the extent of the area of land
we have described, :here is no section
of country on this Northwest coast that
offers better inducements to colonists
and emigrants who desire to take up
and occupy government lands, than does
North Idaho. While we say this of
Idaho, we further say that all along our
western border, from the 46 parallel to
the 49th in Washington Territory, there
is belt of land varying in width from
10 to so miles of most excellent wheat
land, not one goth part of which is yet
absorbed by settlers, and we therefore
invite agents Of colonists and all who
are looking for land, to look at this
whole section Of country of which We
have spoken above, and they will find
that we have not overdrawn the picture.

Solution of the Indian Question.

We have, on several occasions in
months past, expressed our unqualified
opinion against the present reservation
system, as a means in the hands of the
government for the treatment of Indi-
ans. We have watched its practical
tendencies for series of years, at first
with the hope and faith in its efficacy
in bringing the Indians up to that
standard of intelligence and moral GU
ture, which would augur his becoming
civilized and christanized to such an
extent that he would of choice adopt
the habits and customs Of white citizens,
and become self sustaining and prosper
GUS in their several communities, and
abandon their war like and nomadic
habits. But while we will acknowledge
since the Inauguration of this policy,
embracing many years of the past, in a
very few isolated cases some little de-
velopement has been shown in a very
limited number of those under the i'm
mediate supervision ofagents and teach
ers about the agencies, in religious and
sectarian direction; yet in all matters
of common practical life, such as farm
ing, mechanical arts, and the reciprocal
duties belonging to civilized communi-
ties, the great mass of the Indians on
the reservations have seemed to learn
more from the surrounding settlers out
side the reservations than from the sys-
tenn of teaching done on the reserva-
tions. Millions of dollars of the gov.
eminent funds have been appropriated
for the benefit of these reservations, and
by reason Of the Encouragement of this
money by the agents of the government
the Indians on these reservations have
become dissatisfied in large number
of cases, and rebelled, left the reserva-
lions, taken up arms against the gov
eminent and taxed all the available
forces of the United States with such
volunteers as could be utilized to their
extreme limit to repel invasions upon
settlers and subdue the hostiles, and all
at the costs of millions of dollars more
annually, and even now the comman.
der-in'chief of the army claims that he
needs an army of $4,000 men to garri.
son exposed points and make successful
war upon the hostiles. The advocates
of the reservation system under the re.
ligious denominations claim great sue.
cess OF the system, but their claim is
more than contradicted by the fact that
