We are ready to give the first letter Of
the surname, which, in connection with
its fellows, spells Marsh. Several prom
inent subscribers to the NEW NORTH
WEST informed us in substance that
they had thought for while Of discon-
tinuiug the Peoples Paper this year for
economy's sake, but lis independent
course in exposing that pharisaical
sham to the public gaze, and its digni-
fled rebuke OF the loose and slippery tool
OF the erring party-the starveling ed
itor Of the faculty's Organ" who had
evidently been hired 10y somebody to
throw mud at us-had changed their
minds. So, a. in Hillsboro, We did not
lose an old subscriber, aud guined a
gOodly array Of new ones.
But We were speaking OF the Indian
school " hen the above paragraph in
truded itself, and will now return to the
text. We had beard much while in
Tacoma and Steilacoom about the kid
noppiug Of these young Indians by Cap
tain Wilkinson, under an order from
General Milroy, and took occasion to
ask the children, while all together, TO
state the facts from their own stand
point. All who we're pleased with their
present quarters were asked to raise
their hands. Forty hands went up. All
who wanted to return were asked to
signify it. Not hand was raised. Pc
ter Stannup, a young Indian, and evil
IDENTIFY the spokesman Of the school,
arose at the close of our address and
stated that all the Puyallup Indians
were ready 20 send such of their chill
dren as the Captain wanted, until by
some mistake among the white folks il
was proclaimed that General MilrOy had
sent an order to take them 10y force, at
which, very naturally, the parents re-
beiled. Bat, he said, none OF the chill
dren were taken without the parents
consent, and several that the Captain
wanted he did not bring, because theil
fathers were not willing. The Indian
woman who was sent to Jail had broken
/ the law by stealing a child from the
Puyallup school. That child was not in
| this school, and had not been TIL,
/ principal fuss, he said, had been mad,
by tue white folks who had not be
lieved ia the Captains experiment, an,
50 had opposed il. so far as he knew
there was no dissatisfaction now.
The girls Of the school are taught t,
cook, wash, iron, sew, wash dishes, d.
chamber work, and all other dutie
which the supported sex are expected 4
perform, and the boys are to be taugh
farming, horticulture and trades. w
personally know some thousands @
white children whom we'd be glad {
see as we'll provided for aud as practi
eally taught IN the ways Of honest wor
AS these wards Of the Nation.
