The Reservation System.

The following from the S f. Call are
our views TO dot, as frequently expressed
in the columns of the STATESMAN hereto
fore. We are pleased to note the fact of
the call joining us in denouncing the
present ridiculous system Of Indian reser-
Vatiuns
Arizona copies after Colorado in pro-
testing against the reservation system.
Public meetings have been held to de
nuunce it 81 long as the government
recognizes the Indians as wards to be pro-
rided for, SO long Will they be exacting IN
their demands, which, if not complied
with to suit their caprices, viii cause
them Ia become hostile. The conduct Of
the people of Arizona can scarcely be
censnred in this matter, fer no man
would feel easy If he knew there was
serpent in his house, and the Indians OF
Arizona are constant dread to the set
tiers and miners, whom they rob ard
murder upon the least prcvocation. They
are vicious neighbors, who are liable to
strike when least expected. And then,
in this connection comes up the old
question, that will always arise anu have
its special application. why are these
people, who are streDg, vigorous, and IL:
prime health, not be compelled to work
for livelihood, Instead of being support
ed at the expense Of the Government "
