Indian Einmesteads.

Our attention has been called 20 an
editorial in the Oregonjan Of June p,
1878, relating to enabling acts permit
ting Indians to homestead lands. Be-
ing from home at the time Of the pub
LEGATION of this article we never before
read it. The ARTICLE commences as fol
lows:
GA dispatch sent by Gen. Howard to
Gen. Mcdowell, published some days
ago in the Oregonidn, assumed that the
law allows Indians to take and hold
homesteads on their present reserva-
tons" The article then goes on to
theorizo upon this right of the Indians,
amt says that "for twonty-threo years
the Indians have had the right to claim
their homesteaas on the reservations"
This right is deduced from the troa-
ties and homestead laws existing. It
further says that "no patents have been
issued BY the President to those Indian
farmers and lunbermen according to
the provision Of the treaties, for the
reason that his attention has not been
called to the subject. The agents on
tho reservations arc his appontecs and
those responsible to see that the rights
of the Indians under the treaty are
made complete" Assuming this view
to be current, the fact that SO few have
ever taken up homesteads is attributable
to the neglect Of the agents to properly
inform and instruct the Indians as to
their rights in this respect. A few of
the Neg 'erces have taken up home.
steads off tha reservation and arc doing
well. But it is well known here that
homestaadins lands by Indians has
been discouraged BY the agent Of the
Noz perces, and it has never been un-
derstood here that they could file a
homestead on lands included within the
limits OF the reservation. We know
that several Indians now living upon
the reservation have expressed a wish
to have the privilege Of homosteadipg
lands gu the reservation, and under the
belief that the laws and treaties would
not permit this. About q year ago a
petition was drawn up to Congress ask
ing that law be provided for the ex :
ercse Of this right An attempt was
made to get signatures of Indians to
this, bat the agent discouraged the at
tempt, and no further effort was then
made. At the recent council held at
Lapwai when the question of transfer
Of the Indian bureau to the War. De-
partment was presented to the indians
the question Of demonstrating lands was
also one to be submitted for their de.
cision. This latter question, as we are
informed, WAS merely mentioned, and
no expression from the Indians Gale
for, and we are further informed that
the agent discouraged the Indians from
giving any expression by informing
them that the lands on the reservation
which they did not homestead would be
t rown OPEN 70 settlement by whites
Now, if Gen. Towards theory be cor
rect, these Indian agents are not acting
in harmony with that theory but, on
the contrary, are acting in direct cen
alct with it, whereby the Indian him
self is being deprived from the exercise
of his rights in the promises We vii
! speak further of this matter ia a futur,

Whatever issue the subject of Civil Service Re-

not been without some good results. 1t has opened
