The Ute Quest!on-Scllurz's Opinion OF
Newspapers.
CHICAGO, January 15th.-1he Inter. Ocean
editoIially says 1t is refreshing to learn from
Washington specials that Ouray and the
other Utes who did not participate in the
late massacres, and who events have abun-
dainty proved have no influence with the
tribe. are about to be furnished with new
clothes preparatory to being talked at by the
Interior Department Meanwhile the per-
petrators of the massacres and of the horrible
outrages afterward, go unpublished, and this
additional palaver to no purpose with Ouray
will but emphasize the imbecility or indif-
ference to the atrocities in question which
seems to obtain in that Department.
The Inter Oceans Washington special says:
Secretary Schurz is doing nothing with the
Ute Indians, which he has under guard at
hotel here, and the lips of all their attendants
have been Theoretically sealed by his order.
whom he is trying to impress the fact that
this great Government is powerful TO reward
and punish, and if the whole nation of Utes
does not turn in and assist in bringing those
guilty of the Meeker massacre to punish
ment. the doctrine of vicarous atonement
will be observed, and the many will
have to suffer for the crimes OF
the few. He impresses the mind of Ouray
with the fact that he has not come here to
complain of bad treatment, which Is the
usual motive of Indian visits to Washington,
but that the Great Father has sent for him
to complain OF his conduct; that the Indians,
not the Government, are the defendants IN
this action Ouray goes back to lis compan-
ions, after these interviews with Schurz, and
repeats what has been said but the Secre-
tary does not think he has got them up to
pitch where a council with the Great Father
will be effective. The Secretary refuses to
allow a reporter to see the Indians, and says
that newspaper publications have already
interfered with the work of the Commission,
and General Adams is of the opinion that
the guilty Utes might have been secured had
the temper of the Colorado press not been so
fierce against them. The U ties have know
edge of what is published, and the publica-
ton Of what is going on here would GEL
tainly be known by the Utes in Colorado.
For this reason the councils with Ouray and
his braves will be secret, and the results will
be secret, lest the publication of them may
prevent whatever is agreed upon being car
ried out.
