10! The Poor Indlani

President Hayes has sent message to
Congress In regard to the future treat
ment of The Indians. He says:
Our general Indian policy for the
future should embrace the following
ideas: First, the Indians should be pre-.
pared for citizenship by giving to their
young of both sexes that Industrial and
general education which is requisite to
enable them to be selfsupporting and
capable of self.protection Ia civilized
communities. Second, lands should be
allotted to the Indians in seyeralty, in.
alienable for certain period. Third,
the Indians should have fair compensa.
tion for their lands not required for indi.
vidual allOtments, the amount to be in.
vested with suitable safeguards for their
benefit Fourth, with these prerequisites
secured, the Indians should be made cit.
izens and be invested with the rights and
charged with the responsibilities of citi.
zensbip. 1t is therefore recommended
that legislation be adopted in regard TO
the Ponca Indians authorizing the SEQ.
retary of the Inter!e: &C sec;;:T-o &c ;5iddii ;idi
vidual members Of the Ponca tribe. in
severalty sufficient land for their support,
inalienable for term of years, or until
tho restriction on alienation may be re-
; moved hy tho President. Ampic tinu
and opportunity should be given TO the
members Of the tribe freely 20 choose
! their ali0tments. either on their neyy or
old reservation. Full compensation
should be made for the lands to be relin-
l%4uiShed, and for the loss es to them by
Sioux depredntions, and by reason OF
their removal TO the Indian Territory, the
amount named in tho declaration Of the
| chiefs made on December 81, 1880. In
short, nothing should be left undone to
| chow to the Indians that the Government
of the United States regards their rights
IS equally sacred with those of its citi.
zens. The time has como when the
policy should be to place the Indians as
rapidly as practicable on the snme foot,
ing with other permanent inhabitants ol
the country. I do not undertake to ap
portion the blame for the iDjustice doni
to the Poncas. Whether the Executive
or Congress or The public is chiefly Ii
fault 10 not now qnestion of praci;sa
Importance. AS the Chief Executive at
the time when the wrong was consum
mated, | am deeply scnsibfe that enough
of the responsibility for that wrong Justly
attaches TO me to make it my peraonn
duty and earnest desire to do all I can Il
give 20 these Indian people that measure
of redress which is required alike by jus
lice aud by humanity

Old Missouri Never Tire.

Friday evening at the residence of Col. D.
j. WEIGH and MI. John H. Curtis a most en-
joyable entertainment was given by Mr.. J. r.
Boyce, brother-in-l law of Mrs. Curtis.
The occasion was intended TO cele-
brate the safe return of Mr.. Boyce from
his wanderinss among the savage
tribes Of the sFar East" and the abo-
riginal Missourians were out in full force.
They were invited by Mr.. Boyce to partake of
some of the dclicacies OF their own far away
land beyond the waters Of the "Big Muddy"
q spot to them more dear than all the world
beside, though, according to the accounts OF
the returned p~rodigsl, "the lion roareth, and
ever there too doth the whaagdoodle mourn
for her tirst-born-Selah." The table was
deliberately spread, and the first dish to which
all eyes were directed was a dish of &c nuine
persimnons, which, the wanderer assures US,
were dug from their native holes by his own
baud on his recent visit. This rare, tropical
fruit vas acknowledged to be unequalled in
flavor. The next dish was the old Southern
standby, baked 'possum and sweet potatoes,
followed by fried chicken. The latter two
dishes were prepared in Missouri and brought
out under glass in an air-tight case for the
special beI eft of Mrs. Curtis.
