New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1879-03-12


There is another thing well worth
considering and that is the possibility
Of their civilization. Many attempts
have been made ever since our earliest
New England colonies by Christian
men and philanthropists to improve the
moral and material condition Of the
savage. These efforts have been sue.
cessful in a fattering degree. Moth
ing would please us more than to give
some OF the abundant proof for these
statements, but the nature of these ar
ticles does not admit of it to any extent.
According to the Commissioner 8 report
for 1877 there were $50 schools, of
which so were boarding schools with
437 teachers among the Indians. There
have attended, for at least one month.
II ,5l5 pupils. There are 4O,597 Indi.
ans who can read; and over one half
of these are adults. More than twelve
hundred learned to read last year.
There are more than two hundred
church buildings on the reservations
with q ,2l5 members of mission church.
es. These Indians own considerable
property in land and cattle and farm
implements. To give the statistics
would make this article too lengthy.
It is sufficient to know that they are
making commendable progress each
year in civilization.
But this advance is made in the face
of many and great difficulties some Of
which are chargeable to the whites
themselves.
Now let us look at one more fact and
we will dismiss the subject. 1t costs
something to civilize the Indians; but
more to fight them. Take few ex-
amples. The late Sioux war cost 49,
1883 in money, and 283 men killed,
among whom was the gallant Custer
and his staff, and 125 wounded. For
the past forty years according to official
statistics lately published, operations
against the Indians by our government
have cost on the average each year $12,-
600, 900. Ten thousand Wild Apaches
cost the government nearly $4,000, 900
annually for the pay Of the army car
ing for them. On the contrary &C, 600
Cherokees who are civilized and peace
able cost almost nothing. Now, as a
matter of political economy, the gov.
eminent would do wise thing to send
more teachers and fewer soldiers a.
mong the Indians. The cost to the
government per year for each soldier
fighting them is about 81, 700. Missi-
onaries are supported at about half the
cost. Common sense would say keep
the soldier at home and send the other
man. II there are savages, and we
doubt not there is, who will not be
brought under civilizing influence let
them be dealt with as white savages
are. But by all means let us who be.
lieved in humanity, even that, too,
which is very debased and vicious, and
in respecting the rights Of others, even
to the rights Of mule, and in giving
every man a fair chance, throw our
little influence on the side of honest
dealing with all men; and especially
those who are less fortunate than we in
their race, birth and social condition.
The loss is nothing; but the gain will
be immense.

a bill was passed by the late Legis-
lature requiring county commissioners
to publish their proceeding in one pa:
per in the county. The commissioners
are to designate the paper and pay
such rates as may be agreed upon be-
tween them and the publisher,
The bill for the removal of the county
seat from Beaver Falls to Bird Island
in Renville county had close shave in
the Senate, there being II for and 10
against the passage of the bill. The
question will come before the people
of that county next fall, and a lively
old fight it will be.

rizing the city council to issue bonds to
aid in the construction of q refinery, no
action could be taken. Another letter
was read from the Minneapolis gentle.
man, of whom we made mention last
week, from which it would appear
that the parties he represents mean
business. They have fully determined
to build one or more refineries but as
yet the localities have not been fully
decided upon, and we believe that by
holding out proper inducements they
would locate one in New Ulm.
Wearo sorry to learn that the bill above
referred to, failed. 1t passed the Senate
and when it came up in the House on
the last night Of the session for a third
reading, motion was made to adjourn,
which prevailed, and it with about
thirty other bills were left undisposed
Of. The matter, however, should not
be dropped because the bill failed. If
the parties above referred to can be in.
duced to build a refinery in our city BY
the offer Of local aid, ways and means
should be devised for 50 doing. Our
citizens can not take too much interest
in this matter. By-gone experience
should have taught them that this is a
progressive age and in order to keep up
with our sister towns we must put our.
right foot forward.

WE learn that Maj. j. J. Salley
visited the counties Of Lexington,
Edgcfield and Laurens last week and
brings back ilattcring and cheering
reports of matters and things general
ly. Both cotton and corn are small
but tho former has time enough to
make satisfactory yield. Maj. Sal .ey
reports the farmers Of the up-country
as being highly pleased with the "No
Fence Law" The people make more
milk and butter than they eyer did
before. One of the blessings Of the
law, not mean one either, is that
one knows exactly where TO find his
COWS without losing ever 80 much
time hunting them. One man will
make two bags of cotton on his old
fence rows.
