WHY THE sNDrANs FIGHT.
starved into Desperation and Hostility
suggestions from the Frontier.
10 EnL

Oregon, Nevada and Idaho are all just now
more or less agitated over the Indian war. A
good many lives have already been sacrificed,
a vast amount OF property has been leopard
lied, the peace of the frontier has been de-
stroyed for this year, and the hopes Of hun
dreds of poor familes-thUse most deserving
of sympathy and protection been
rudely blasted The Indians who have created
this state of affairs will be pursued and killed,
of course; there is nothing else to do with an
Indian when he takes to theIwar path. At
the same time, II is cruel and shameful war
50 far as this government Is concerned, and
one which would have been impossible had
simple and honest means been taken to pre-
vent it, The English never have wars with
their Indians. Brigham Young planted O
colony of rough and selfish men in the heart
of the Indian country, but his colony never
had any difficulty with the savageS On our
part. however, the whole vast region from the
Atlantic to the Pacific has been crimsOned
with blood.
In nothing do our people show SO much
that they have no right to claim for them
selves peace and prosperity as in the course
which they have pursued toward the Indians.
1t has been full Of treachery and cruelty.
The evil and its remedy have been plain to
frontiersmen for two score years, and yet the
authorities have repeated the same senseless
practices year after year.
If q man like Hub Parker of Carson had
been sent to the BannoCks last February,
with authority to act as he pleased toward
that tribe there would have been no war. He
would have furnished the Indians food and
blankets; he would have made little presents
where needed; II there had been few bad
men In the tribe, he would have impressed
upon the rest the necessity Of hot being led
astray; at rifle practice he would have ex-
celled them all; he would have led them on
their longest march and when the spring
opened he would have had the whole tribe at
work. The result would have been that the
Bannocks would now be the most faithful and
peaceful tribe on the continent The same
might have been done with the Nez Perces
last year. But the truth Is, the savages were
not half clothed or fed, and they suffered I'M
til starvation stared them in the face, and
finally, in desperation, they took to the war

Virginia City Chronicle


Speaking OF gall" remarked an Eastern
printer last evening In q street beer saloon,
talking of solid cheek, | never saw man
who had more of 1t than Pete Blivens, of
Kansas City. Three of us used to room to-
gether there in 1879. One night in July--it
was so hot that If you'd chuck water on the
side of a house 1t would sizz like so much hot
iron-we concluded to go down and sleep on
one of the timber RATS on the river. Well,
we got on the raft with our blankets. Just
before turning In, Pete Bllvrns said he
guessed he'd cool off by taking q swim. |
knew that the current would snatch him
right under, but didn't want to give him
any advice, and he dived off the end
of the raft. The undertow caught and sent
him out of sight In about three seconds. AS
soon as we saw that he was drowned, me and
the other chap went for his effects. We
found So 30 in his pants pocket and an old
watch We took EN- up town and soaked the
clothes for SO and the watch for S12. Then
we went round town on a sort Of o iamboree
and spent the money. About 8 O'Clock in the
morning we were drinking up the last dollar
with some of the boys at the Blue Corner,
when who should walk in but Pete himself In
an old suit of clothes that he'd borrowed Of q
man three miles down the river. And hang
me II he didn't demand his clothes, and the
next day he was round dunning us for the
paltry So 30. The gall of some mems enough
to paralyEe @ Louisiana alligator"
