THE INDIAN POLICY.

The Judgment of Judge Dundy, of the
United States court for the district of Ne
braska, in relation to the status of the Ponca
Indians, has been practically affirmed by
Justice Miller, of the circuit court of the
United States, who dismissed the case.
There is no political significance in the de-
cision already rendered. 1t was simply rem
dered in the equities of the case. The In
dians had been forced to abandon their
homes by the military, and take up their
habitation in a latitude not at all congenial
to their tastes. They broke away from the
restraints imposed upon them and returned
to their old homes. They were at once
placed under restraint and. treated as crimi-
nails, though they had committed no offense
against the laws of the government. Under
the petition for habeas corpus Judge
Dundy released them, deciding in effect that
Indians have some of the rights of citizens.
The decision ought to have the effect of
impressing upon the minds of the people of
the country the idea that Indians have some
rights that white men are bound to respect.
The Indian policy of the government has in
the past been only a disgrace These "wards
of the government have been treated as
outlaws, to be shot down on sight if they hap
pened to be off their reservations. The only
result that could be anticipated has come
about. The Indians, smarting under their
wrongs, have on occasions risen and asserted
their rights. This was an impulse of COM
mon humanity, and we see no good reason
why an Indian should not be entitled to as
sert his rights as we'll as person of Caucas-
sian blood. The fact decided by Judge
Dundy that Indians have legal rights under
the laws of the United States, ought to in
spire the government with the desire to treat
these people with that degree of honor that
characterizes the dealings of the government
with foreign powers and tribes. At an
