COMMISSIONER HoYr, thinking nothing
better can be done with certain Indian
tribes than to utilize their savage in.
stinets, recommends that they be or
ganized into military police force for
the preservation of peace in the reserva-
tons, and as fighters against their more
hostile brothers, and that they be uni.
formed in the OLD fringed ritie-blouse,
and pants, with the addition of few
brass buttons. Why not establish, at
once, an Indian West Point academy
on the plains for the complete military
training of the young braves. Sitting
Bull could be engaged as drillmaster, at
avery small salary. The Quaker policy
is peculiar.
