Secretary Schurz on the Indians
The joiIt commission having under
consideration the proposed transfer Of
the Indian bureau from the civil to the
military department, heard the views of
Secretary Schurz this morning In COM
mencing his remarks, the Secretary
disclaimed any personal desire to retain
control Of the Indian service under The
Interior Department. and said, in this
connection, that no branch of the de-
partment's business is so troublesome
and thankless. IF 1t was not that he
considered it best for the service of the
Government generally that the mao
asement of Indian affairs remain wh"re
it is, he would be the last one 70 advo-
cate it. He thought that the Indians
we're entitled to humane treatment at
the hands of American citizens, and
that that could could only be rendered
through tha process of civilization, edu-
cation and kind treatment. This, he
said, in his judgment, the military were
not fitted to promote. The Secretary
quoted at considerable length from the
report Of the Sioux Commission signed
by Generals Sherman, Terry, Augur
and others, setting forth in effect thai it
peace with the Indians was required,
the management. Ct their affairs should
he placed under the civil department OF
the Government. Now, said he, agree
with these gentlemen on this point.
There are a great many officers of the
army who have excellent ideas about
Indian affairs, but is is another thing
to bring ideas into practical effect. The
military arm of the Government he did
not consider gifted with the patient la
bor required to place the hoe in the ln-
dams hand and teach him how to use

the lash be brought in practice in this
State.
Sentimental people point out The
whipping post as a relic Of the middle
ages. They hold that corporal punish
ment should never be inflicted, except
perhaps, for capital ofenses. Their
wish IS unreasonable. Even the most
humane of men admit that all offenders
of the law must be punished, The very
word "punishment," however, implies
infiction of pain and suffering. Mental
pain may properly be called species of
corporal pain, since it is we'll known
that suffering (not diseased) mind
affects the body. Consequently, pun
ishment proper is inconceivable without
corporal pain.
To say that to be whipped is to
be "disgraced for lite" is simply nom
sense.
Punishment cannot disgrace man;
punishment restores him to the place
which he occupied before committing
the offense or crime by which he dis
graced himself.
Whenever any one of the modes of
punishment ceases to inAict pain, it
ceases to be punishment. In this case
persons thus "punished" are practically
licensed to break the law.
Imposition of fines on the wealthy or
on persons commanding liberal incomes,
for instance, is mere mockery, as in the
case of professional gamblers, or of
keepers of disreputable houses.
IF law breakers, sentenced to prison
directly or indirectly, are sentenced to
prison at hard laJor-all right. It will
be difficult to find person who thinks
that such imprisonmentis not punish
ment. But we have large number Of
jails all over the country wherein the
prisoner passes his time in idleness.
These jails are seldom without occu-
pants. There is class Of people who
do not fare worse in prison than outside
ofit-aye, there are many who actually
improve their condition BY going to Jail
particularly during the winter months.
To this miserable class, certainly the
lowest in civilized society, belong the
majority of petty thieves and disturb
ers of the peace. Prison life may be
slightly annoying to such people, but
it does not answer the purpose of pun
ishment.
We have heard of persons who COM
mitted crime in order to be enabled to
spend some time in Jail, and we have
seen many criminals who went to Jail
joking and laughing. No sane man
doubts that if assurance had been given
to those self>sama individuals that
within very short space of time the
cat o. mine tails should be dancing on
their backs, they would have looked at
the Jail door with quite different fell
ings and with more profound resp ct
for the strong arm of law. What say
ye to this. ye miserable chicken thieves ?
