ance Of Cfficefs commanding troops stationed
on the several Indian reservations in the de-
CLING bands and families still at large upon
the reservations. AID TO serve as nucleus for
establishing civil government A small num-
Der Of the Indians recently used as scouts
will he retaiue j in service under existing or.
ders at each # the rGsecv atoms hereafter
specified. Each of the detachments will be
under the command of an officer designated
by the Department Commander, who will
have charge, under The supervision Of the
~, ~ e Al
clothing and accounts, but the post com.
mander msy communicate with thsm direct
at any and all times. These Indians will be
selected from among the best Of their several
tribes. and will be liable to be mustered cut
for misconduct towards the Indians of their
owa or other tribes, or other good cause. aud
their places filed by others duly selected
Tley will constitute the police force of the
reservations, and while required to attend
regular mus,ers and inspectious. will not only
be allowed, bus wi be required, to cultivate
the soil and perform the various industries
prescribed by Che Indian Department, the
same as Other IadIans. They will be used
from time to time, upon the application of
the Agent or the commanding Itfi;er's own
molten, to preserve the :sca, report and cor
rect any Irregularities that may occur among
their own or OTHER tribes il the vicinity. The
commanding officer will aid the duly author
lied agents in instructipg the Indians in and
establishing among them a civil government
ia it's simplest form, enabling thec. TO settle
their differences according 10 the usage of
civi!jz stiop, gradually showing them the ben
ehts that are derived as contrasted with their
own Dsrbsrous forms and customs. To dc this
efsctually will require different forms 10
suit the peculiaritias of different tribes. ard
the Agents Of the several reservations can
agree upon the necessary forms, being careful
rot to make them too complicated at first for
the comprehension OF the tribes TO which they
are to be applied, leaving them to be enlarged
with their capabilities, so that when the aux
Hilary force can be dispensed with they will
be capable of self-goyerament, and event.
ually become good CT liens. While they
should not be Judged too harshly for acts
which. in the civil codes, would constitute
minor offsnses, csre should also be take that
they do not succeed in deceiying their Agents
and the officers in matters of great.
er Importance, being careful TO treat
them as children, in ignorance il not inno-
cepce. The commanding General, after max
ing thorough and exhaustive examination
al.ong the Indians of the eastern and south.
ern parts Of this Territory, regrets to say that
lie hnds among them general feeling of dis
trust and want OF c0Ihdencs in whites, es-
pecially the soldiers, and also that much dis
satisfaction, dangerous TO tho peace Of She
country, exists among them.

issued October 3, 1882: Off ezra ard
solGizrs serving in this department are re-
minded that one OF the fundamental prin
cipies of the military character il justice TO
all Indisns as well rs white men. and that o
disregard Of this principle is likely to bring
sb5uS hostiliti9s snd cause tire death
Of ths very persons whom they ara
sent to protect. In all dealings with
Iadiaas, tae cfficsEs must be careful not only
to observe the strictest fidelity, but to make
no promises not in their power to carry cut.
All grievances arising within their jurisdic.
ton should be redressed, so that an accumu-
lstion Of them may not cause an outbreak.
Grievances, however petty, ii permitted to
accumulate, will be like nbsrs that smoIder
AID eventually b. esk out into fame. When
the officers are applied 10 for the employment
of force against the Iniiars, they should
thoroughly satisfy tie nselves of the necea-
sity for the applca ion acd the lie gali,y of
compliance Herewith, il order that ,hey nay
not, through tie inexpsrieute OF Others, or
their own hastiulss allow sha troops under
them to bscome tie instruments OF oppres-
sion. The must be no division of res ponii-
biiity IL the IN after. Each ctiirsr will be held
CO Z strict accountability.
