Warm Spring Indians.

Captain John Smith, who has been th 6
Indian Agent at the Warm Spring Reserva-
ton for the last IA years, came down to
Vancouver on Saturday. He was called
there by General Howard to assist in dis
posing of the band of Warm Spring In
dams now prisoners at Fort Vancouver.
After full consultation it was determined
to have Ili-ack-eny's wife and children
brought down here, when they will be
sent to the Indian Territory, to be he,ded
with Joseph and his Nez Perces. This
chief has heretofore given the authorities
much trouble is high spirited and brooks
no control--in fact. never could be con-
troled in the least by the authorities, aud
in view of the expected trouble it was
deemed advisable to thoroughly dispose
of him. The remainder of the band will
be sent back under guard to the Warm
Spring Reservation. The Warm Spring
Indians on the reservation held a
council few days ago and resolved to sup,
port the authorities. and fight for them il
there should be trouble with any Indian;

Indian Troubles Ahead.

A telegrami in yesterdays Statesman
from Wallula contained news of an
alarming character. If it be true, as
stated, that Moses at the head of his
warriors has taken the war path, the
situation assumes formidable aspect,
and the near future is fraught with i'm.
pending disaster. An Indian war at
this time will result in incalculable 10.

of which will remain for years, and the

hed---for they will hang about us like
pestllential vapor, poisoning and destroy
ing the seeds of that brilliant career
which at this time appears so near at
hand. We want peace. But it must
not be had at the expense of the white
man; his interests are paramount to the
insolent claims Of the Indians. 4 per.
manent peace can be only secured in
one way. The Indians must be made
to fee! the strong arm of the Govern
ment; they must be taught the white
man has some rights that even an In
dian ought to be compelled TO respect.
The history of the settlement of the
United States is the record of contin-
uous Indian wars. The whites and
their red brethren had never lived to.

them there has been an '.irrepressible
conflict" With the one it has been
murder, and with the other extermina.
ton. What has taken place in other
communities will surely be repeated
here. 1t is settled fact that the In.
dian and the white man cannot both
occupy the same country. One must
go; and from the days Of Plymouth
to the present the red man has been
compelled to retreat. Realizing this,
the Government has been derelict in
its duty in not having settled the prob
lem before. Sooner or later it must be
disposed of, and experience has demon
strated that there is but one way, aud
that determination. All other means
have failed, and it is too late to renew
the worn out experiments Of a a'century
ago, when Penn sought to mollify his
red brethren with a cheap article OF
calico, coupled with desire to impart
religious instruction. When war ia in.
augurated let force sufficient be sent
into the field, so that at the end of the
campaign there will be no more occa-
sion for future alarms. Let the blow
when struck be decisive; and one blow
should be all that is necessary. Gen
Howard should demand an increased
force; aud, obtaining it, place the en-
tire army under his command imme
diately into the field. He should be
prepared for every emergency, and 81
distribute his forces that the enemy
cannot escape. The Indians must bt
whipped into subjection, and we believe
this is the accepted time.

we'll to state that Gen. Forsythe regards
the reports thus far received as very
much exaggerated, and does not think
he will encounter any serious difficulty.

it advisable to mount the command.

The Transfer.

Rex, the Washington correspondent
of the Statesman of date Dec. 5, has
the following;
General Sherman and Quartermaster
Gen. Meigs yesterday gave their opin-
ion at length on the subject of the In
dian bureau transfer. Gen. Meigs is an
officer of experience aud sense, and
has the confidence of Congress to as
great an extent. perhaps, as any other
man living. His opinion will have
great weight. He thinks the transfer
will be beneficial to both races. Gen.
Sherman favors it also. The proposed
change is certainly growing in favor,
especially since Secretary Schurz says
it is impossible for his department to
take care of the Indians without a
great deal more money and without
saddling upon the country new and
numerous class OF office holders. 1t is
safe to predict that government money
will not be spent as loosely in the aext
few years as in the past. and that the
Secretary will soon be laughed at who
proposes to increase the already absurd
iy large number of officials.

Position of the Northern Pacific.

President Wright, in reply to an ar
ticla in tho New York Herald, thus
declares the programme Of his company:
lhe company considers itself able to
build the road with its own resources,
including the land grant already made
to it, and it asks no more. The priv.
ilege OF doing this, and thereby funish-
ing competing line to the Pacific, is
the only prayer the stockholders Of the
reorganized northern road have ever
made to Congress. These stockholders
are very numerous and reside in almost
every neighborhood throughout the
Union. There are 1892 Of them in
your own state of New York, and g.
1872 in Pennsylvania. They had bought
Northern Pacific bonds in open market.
These were subsequently converted into
preferred stock. aud the money Of these
stockholders, to the amount of over
s2,00O,O0O cash, has gone into the en-.
terprise, aud is still there. As they
desire now only the privilege of com.
pleting national work, with their own
credit and. capital, on the terms upon
which they originally invested, their
proposition docs not seem unreasonable.
| repeat, they seek no subsidy. but only
a Limited guarantee against confiscation.
They have merely petitioned Congress
that the grant, upon the faith of which
they invested their money, shall not be
resumed for certain reasonable period
of time. Such q. resumption, under the
circumstances, would be most cruel and
unjust, and would serve no public good

bad Management.

From all indications the northern Pa
ci6c Railroad Company will attempt, a diff.
ferent mod. of procedure to obtain from
Congress an extension Of time for building
their road and at the same time hold their
great franchise. Lately, sympathetic ap-
peals have been put forth In various ways,
all of which are intended to help the con-
pany carry out its plans In the Winter
campaign in Congress. The people Of this
territory desire direct communication be.
tween Puget Sound and the country east OF
the Cascade mountains, and no extension Of
time unless the road is quickly built will
satisfy them. Give the company an extern
sion Of time without exacting when the
road shall be built aud the road will not
be finished In our lifetime, and its grant Of
lands will be held either from market or
else at extortionate rates. The Columbia
river will continue to be the main line Of
communication between here and the east
ern country, and the advancement Of the
whole territory will be retarded. This,
however, Is only in keeping with the gem
eral man agement Of the company since its
first organization. Had the company seiec-
ted terminus on Puget Sound, instead Of
going to Kalama, and then built its road
across the Cascades instead of building
from Kalama to the Sound, it would now,
with the means used on the road, aud
on its Puyallup coal road have
reached the Walla Walla country, and its
income would have built the road to the
Rocky mountains as fast as it could have
been put down. No road in the world to-
day would have been paying better. But
its greed for lands and subsidies, with its
general mismanagement, has made the use
Of its means Gu this coast almost a worth
less expenditure, and we have yet to see
that its managers are learning .nnythil g

Status In Yakima County.
The Seattle Post of the 18th inst.
has the following:


has the following:
A private letter received in this city
yesterday from persons in the Yakima
country states that the inhabitants there
who can will leave during the winter.
The writer, a lady, sends to arrange for
coming to Seattle. She says others
will come if they can. The road across
the mountains is closed for the winter,
aud the only hope of escape is by way
of the Columbia river.
The lady writes that $50 armed In.
dians recently joined Moses in body.
Small parties are continually gathering
in, and they make no secret of their
intention of taking the war path in
March. At that time the roads will
be almost impossible, and but few of
the settlers can hope to escape.
The people feel very bitter towards
the government for its neglect to pro-
vide for their safety. They expect no
relief until after the outbreak, when
they suppose the government will pur-
sue the murderous Indians and place
them on reservation, that they may
prepare for another massacre, or war,
as government officers persist in calling
this wholesale butchery. Moses offers
to return the stock stolen from the set.
tiers for SIS per head.
The settlers accuse the people OF
Seattle Of selling the Indians arms and
ammunition, and say that is the only
kind of aid they expect from this quar-
ter The outlook is very gloomy, and
men who have lived in that country
for seventeen years are preparing tc
send their families to places Of safety
The criminal neglect of the government
to protect the lives and property of the
people there will greatly retard the de
velopmeut and prosperity of that rict
section of country. After the Indians
kill the people and destroy their homes
and property, the settlers suppose tht
government will send an army there a
great expense. A small fraction of thu
amount OF money needed for that pur
pose would, if expended at the prope
time and with ordinary judgment, saw
the lives of loyal and taxpaying citi
zens.
