Secretary Te!lcr,s indian Policy.

AS we intimated last week, the new Sec
retary of the Interior holds very decided
views on the Indian question, and it now
seems that he is also not averse TO making
them public in the course Of a recent con-
vers&tion with a New York Herald CORE
spendent, he took occasion to say that he
was opposed TO making any more treaties
with the Indians, or recognizing in any
other way their tribal relations; that the
Indian schools ought to be conducted with
view TO teaching the young savage to work
rather than instructing him in mere book
learning; and, finally, that the Government
should combine justice to the whites with
justice to the red man in it's dealings with
the latter. There is a great deal of sound
sense in these observations. From time inn
memorial we have been making treaties
with the Indians which we knew at the
time of drafting them could not possibly be
kept, and nine-tenths Of the wars with
WHICH IuC JTOHJltI SeIJIcHleulS nave DcGn
vexed have been due to this policy of keep
ing the savages quiet by means of delusive
promises The mistake which the Govern
ment has made has not been-as the senti-
mentalsts claim-its failure to protect the
treaty rights of the Indians, since the west
ward rush Of emigration has always made
that impossible, but in its original recogni-
ton of these rights. Had the Government,
ten years ago. abandoned its policy Of treat
ing the tribes as sovereign nations and
dealt with them as individuals, it would
unquestionably have effected great saving
of life and money. The practical way of
surmounting the obstacles to permanent
solution Of the Indian problem is clearly
that which is suggested by Secretary Teller,
viz: 81 am opposed to making further trea-
ties with the Indians would treat them
just as we treat our own citizens that is, I
would legislate for them, respecting at all
times their property rights, and if it be-
comes necessary to take portion of their
land would compensate them for the same
in the same manner and as fully as if they
The National tribune., 1882-04-22

were white men. We have made many
treaties with the Indians that were impos-
sible of execution and in fact detrimental
to the interest of the Indians themselves
These treaties should be modified, rs have
before suggested"
The secretary's ideas concerning the
methods that ought to be adopted to civilize
the Indians are equally sensible. He points
out that in spite of the persistent attempts
dating back almost to the settlement of
New England-that have been made to
educate the Indian, his condition remains
practically unchanged, and lie suggests that
the failure may he due to the inability Of
the race to pass Immediately from the
savage to the civilized state. In his opinion
more attention should be paid to teaching
the useful trades and arts, as preparation
for instruction in the purely abstract
branches of knowledge. He thinks, too,
that the abruptness of the transition from
nomadic life to agricultural pursuits is ore
Of the obstacles to the civilization of the
average Indian, and intimates that herding
is an occupation much better suited to his
nature. But we cannot do better than to
quote his own language:
al am in favor of putting the Indians on
reservations in the regions of the country
Nyb tI,o,,
of the reservation should depend on the
number of the Indians and the character of
the country-that is, whether agricultural
or pastoral land. In dealing with the In
dians the first object should be to make
them selfsupporting. No general rule can
be laid down as to the method of doing this.
Some Indians will readily cultivate the soil
others will not. The greater number will
doubtless support themselves much more
readily by stock raising than by agricultural
pursuits. When an Indian will accept and
care for stocll-that is, cattle, sheep, or
goats-I would furnish him q few, and if he
shows his ability to take care of them l
would add to his herd until it was sufficient
for his support. I would then withdraw
government aid and allow him to support
himself ] would establish labor schools
near the reservation, paying more attention
to educating them to work than in book
knowledge. ] would teach the young In
dian to herd and care for stock and to engage
in such agricultural labor as can be carried
on at a school farm. The girls should be
taught to make their clothes and do general
housewOrlz, make butter, &c"
If Secretary Teller has an opportunity to
carry out the policy which he has here
mapped out, we are confident that it will be
attended by the most happy results for both
races.

THE Page anti-Chinese bill, which pro-
vidss for ten-year suspension Of immigra-
grafton, passed the House on Monday last
by vote of POI yeas TO 81 nays, and will
doubtless go through the Senate without
amendment, ard become law with the
Presidents approval at the present session.
The measure does not altogether meet the
views of residents of the Pacific slope, but
practically it will accomplish all that the
people of California demand without sub
jscting the Government to the imputation
Of having violated the terms of the Bur-
ling&me treaty, and the Republican leaders
have displayed both patriotism and COM
mon sense in advocating its adoption, instead
of sulxing in their tents as some of the
Democratic Representatives were inclined
to do upon learning that Mr.. Arthur had
vetoed the original bill. Their prompt and
resolute action is likely to take the Chinese
question out of politics for many years to
ONE, if not altogether.
The National tribune., 1882-04-22

If expended directly in the support of col
ored schools it would prove mere drop in
the bucket, while if employed in founding
a colored college for the education of teach
crs, it would simply attract students from
existing institutions. The quickest and
most feasible way Of accomplishing the
desired result would be, it seems to US, to
employ the income from the fund in helping
young colored men of good character and
marked talent to acquire the higher educa-
tion necessary to fit them for leaders, as well
as teachers of their race There is nothing
of which the freedmen stand so greatly in
need to-day as leaders of their own color
who will devote themselves earnestly and
unseltishly to their instruction, not merely in
the general rudiments of knowledge, but in
the industrial arts, and thus awaken the
desire for distinction in some profession that
is free from the debasing influence of pol
itics.

Continue the Good Work.

We desire to again acknowledge, through
this medium, our appreciation of the inter
est that continues TO be manifested by the
friends of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE 10 ex-
tend lis circulation, and thereby increase its
influence in Congress in battling for the rights
of the soldier Many of our subscribers
have responded promptly to our request TO
aid us in securing additional readers of this
journal, and their words of commendation
accompanying their subscriptions indicate
Il warm personal interest in the work. To
all such we return our most grateful ac-
acknowledgements, coupled with the hope that
they will not relax their efforts until our
circulation has reached 100000 copies
While it is the case, however, that the re-
sponses have in very many instances been
prompt and highly gratifying, yet there is a
large number from whom no response has
been received, and we again urge upon them
the Importance of interesting their friends
L
necessary to remind them that we shall con-
tinue oar efforts in and out of the halls of
Congress, to see that full justice is meted
out to the soldier. We have strong hopes of
soon seeing the Pension Bureau properly
equipped, and when this is accomplished we
shall turn our attention to the Equalization
of Bounties bill, and urge the passage of
that and other measures of legislation affect
ing the interests of the e1-soldiers. 1t shall
be our aim to see that the claims of the sol
der and sailor are adjusted as promptly as
those of the bondholder, whose checks are
so considerately mailed in advance of the
time when the interest is due. When it is
known that we have 100000 subscribers,
representing about 100000 readers, THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE will be able to combat
more effectually the venomous attacks on
the Nations defenders of such scurrilous
sheets as the New York Tribune and Herald,
whose almost daily utterances, if needed,
would have the effect of robbing the soldier
of that which the Government pledged him |

IF CAPTAIN HowGATE had been an ordi-
nary thief, who in a moment of desperation,
perhaps, had stolen a loaf of bread to save
his family from starvation, no judge would
have condeseended to let him pay visit to
his home in charge of prison official On
the contrary, his application would in all
probability have been treated as piece of
impertinence and promptly refused. 1t was
a fortunate thing, therefore, for Captain
Howgate that he was a prisoner of some
notoriety, else the opportunity which he
seized to effect his escape might never have
presented itself It remains to been seen
whether equal consideration will be shown
to Guiteau, who doubtless is quite as anxious
to visit his relatives once more as the doughty
Captain appeared to be.
The National tribune., 1882-04-22

THE London Journals seem to think it
was a great piece of impertinence on the
part of the United States Government to
request a respite in the case of DR.. Lamson,
under sentence of death for murder, and no
doubt they regard the demand for the release
or speedy trial Of the American suspects"
as positive outrage, but we observe that
the British Cabinet does not countenance
this sentiment. 1t hastens to DO precisely
what this impertinent Government OF ours
requires.
The National tribune., 1882-04-22

THE circulation of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE continues to steadily increase, and
we hope to see the day when it will 90 into
every soldiers family in the country. Our
subscribers seem to appreciate the improve
ments which we have made from time to
time, and we trust that they will neglect no
opportunity to bring them to the attention
of those whose names as yet are not on our
rolls. The greater the circulation of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE the greater will be its
influence and usefulness.
