other attractions in town. The audience
was somewhat disappointed on account
OF the nature OF the exercises not being as
elcvating as had been expected. How
ever, the pieces were mostly rendered ar

4 private letter from delegate Fem,
of Feb. Gath, informs us that several
members of the Indian Bureau had been
before the House Indian committee 10
opposition to the transfer of the Indian
to the War department, and discussed
the Indian question generally. The
Washington enabling act has been CON
6ldered IN committee on territories. and
referred to sub committee. The only
objection to it seemed to be the prejudice
against admitting new state without
the full quota of population, and this
may soon be overcome. The bill will
be further considered in full committee,

A. Sage's Opinion.

On officer in the Bureau of Education
Department OF the Interior lately aa-
dressed a circular asking questions about
the status of the Indian, to Jesse Apple
gate an old veteran of Oregon, who has
lived 80 years of his adult life among
Indians. Among the questions he asks
If the Indian is capable of changing his
.nomadic life, and depending upon his
labor for his support. Tothis Apologize
replies as follows:
That the Indian is capable Of cbanc.
ms his nomadic life for permanent
nome, and to depend upon labor to sun
ply MS wants, rather than the chase and
spontaneous products of the earth. is no
longer theory but fact established bv
numerous cases where he has done so.
IL Is only strange that any Intelligent
man could think otherwise.
Is true that the Indian is a SAVAGE
ana has all the vices incident to his con,
dltion, but when he is free from the
vices and diseases contracted from bad
wnite men, ne is physically aud mental.
~ inferior to few if-any of the races of
men when in like condition, And as
history informs US the races now most
advanced In mental culture were all once
savages, no good reason can be advanced
why the Indian cannot erdsrge frop.

Observation-Disclosures GOVERNOR.
He turns upon His Accusers, Gives thcm
Rating, and RepeIs their Assault.

Enemies Of Gov. Brayman OF Idaho
have been very INSCRIPTIONS IN their
attacks upon him. He has turned on
them with great spirit and effect. The
charges made against him seem, on ex-
animation, to be utterly frivolous and
malicious; and the manner in which be
retorts upon his accusers shows him
more than match for all Of them to-
gether. Their arraignment of him be-
fore the supreme court Of the territory
was an unprecedented and tarcical pro-
ceeding. 1t was charged that he had
advised people to take cases out of the
court and settle them by miners meet
ings, or arbitration; and on this he was
accused of undermining the respect due
10 the court and its authority. On this
point, which constitutes the 9rardmen
Of the whole charge, he properly an
swers: This, no doubt, is the point Of
the whole business. The Oregonian
copied from the Idaho Statesman a por-
ton of the attack on the governor, and
it cannot in justice to him do less than
take notice of the vigorous manner in
which he has repealed it. There are
political factions always and everywhere,
which, if they cannot use man, try to
drag him down. Oreg0nian.
1t is meet that the Oregonian with
other journals should begin to discern
that the Idaho Statesman is MT good
authority, where character of persons,
whether official or otherwise is concern
ed. The granny who controls that Sheet
is flied with envy, malice and spleen
and to crafty it has 10 scruple in man
ifestlng his malignity through the col!
umns Of his paper. We Ia Idaho know
him too well to believe what he says on
any subject, where his interest or pre-
JUDGES could be involved. His own
meddlesomcness begot the war among Of
ficials and attorneys, and enlisted some
good men in it, who now are heartily
ashamed of the position in viii h they
find themselves. Ia saying the above
we are rot taking sides with Brayman

What will the Government do.

for some time past, and its phases have
been sufficiently variegated to have APP
prlsed the authorities that the present
Indian policy is not what is demanded
for the security Of life and property, The
treaties have been violated, both by In
dams and the government, aud Indian
reservations and agencies have been
wholly insufficient to hold the Indians
back from going on the war path. The
different agencies among the Sioux and
other tribes East Of the Rockies. and
even the Nez Perez agency, which has
been considered "a model agency, has
utterly failed to prevent hostilities and
loss Of life. We need not agencies,
why? The fact is enough to apprise the
government that the reservation policy
does not accomplish what its friends
predicted. 1t has been very expensive
policy for the government. The mill
tary arm Of the government has been
entirely inadequate to enforce the reser-
walton policy. In fact if there had been
no hampering Of the u. S. troops by the
agency system, their success in conquer
ing peace would have been far greater.
This is apparent from the stand point of
every military commander who has been
on the frontier, hence surrendering
of the Indian to the War department
would be an improvement. But the
segregating of Indians upon lands in
severalty promises a.better pacifcation
Of the Indians themselves, and gives
better promises Of raising up the red
man to the dignity and position OF a
citizen OF the government, than any
holding of the Indians upon reserva-
tions, under the authority of an agent.
The demonstrating of Indians vii! in
spire hope for future prosperity, will
tend to break up their nomadic habits
will make them self reliant, will inspire
them to emulate the example Of white
men in improving thei9 lands and per-
feeling title thereto. Various propos;
tions are before congress upon this cues,
ton in different forms, but nearly all
fail to meet the issue, owing to dis,
trust IN the present condition Of the To-
dian to properly embrace the policy of
owning lands in severalty. All seem to
desire to await their mental and moral
elevation which is expected to result
from the lessons taught upon the differ
ent reservations. But with few excep.
items the elevation of the indians is but
very little, if any, in advance of what it
was when the reservation system was
first inaugurated, while their power for
effective war fare against white men has
been more than doubly enhanced, and
that at the expense Of the government
itself, and settlers who go upon the
frontier und.r the mistaken belief that
because treaties have been made and
reservations set apart for the indians, all
is safe, find unexpectedly themselves
beset by vigorous savage foe, who has
been fed, clothed and armed by the gov
ernment, at the different agencies, and
no adequate government force to avert
or punish their hostility. What will
The government do, is the question.
Delays are complcating the situation of
the frontier settlers. Murderers are held
and petted by the government. Muir
derers return to the agencies after their
raids: and are secreted and protected bv
