Ia tho nature ol lhlnea lhe Ia
dian question commands interest
And wo think il isa safe assertion
to say that the United States Gov
ernmeut has continually pursucs
the worst policy toward her Indian
Tribes Of any nation on earth. Il
would seem that your eastern
statesman had forgotten the his.
tory and experience Of ihoir faith.
ers and become 80 far removed
from The several tribes as to be-
come incompetent judges Of the
policies to be adopted in the solu.
ton OF Indian difficulties. Aud
yet we believe they arrogate to
themselves superior wisdom on
the subject Of Indian affairs. As a
matter ofright, it seems to us their
advice is entirely graiuitous. In
the first place, the original states
having all the representation in
Congress pursueda a policy toward
the Indians then inhahiting the
Older states that drove them west
into the wilderness, and left the
Indian question as unsettled as
when Columbus first set foot ON
the American Continent. The po-
sitions then that they occupy. be.
fore the country, is that Of Kidding
themselves Of all responsibility
for the Indian, and that through
bloodshed, war and cruel crimes,
securing his lands, and leaving the
Indian who have been driven away
from their own doors, on the lands
Of the future states and territories,
and then denying to the citizens
the rightto settle the ques-
lions growing out of it according
70 their own judgment--a judg-
nent formed out of actual eSper-
Ience on the frontier. 1t is clear
ihen that the west has the best
light to say what policy is right
md proper TO be pursued toward
he Indian tribes.
If the old states had pursued a
wise policy by caring each for its
,wn Indian tribes and lifted them
Up to a state of enligtenmcnt, there
you'd be no Indian question to-day
o perplex the brains Of statesmen.
But the west cannot copy their bad
precedent. 1t is still called
lpon to settle this question, and do
t in way that will be compatible
With national expansion. 1t is not
then that public atten-
ion is directed to the Indian Ter
itory, occupied by 10000 civiliz-
d Indians and about l2,000 white
nd colored persons, and sur
ounded by four states. It seems
0 me not strange that public SEN
iment should demand that We
lothe ourselves with consistent
,ovcrnment, SO this country can
lave commercial basis, then cap
tai and labor will caus e the devel-
pment of our resources.

Pas. the nil and End the Matter.

Tho end OF the session approaches, and the
Assembly Apportionment bill, which was
regarded as reasonable and fair, sleeps In tho
Senate. Tho bill gives the Republicans II
chance to elect one member OF Congress in
this city. Doubtless it can be 80 changed ms
to make IL impossible for them to carry even
one OF tho city districts Probably dozen
OF the country districts in the bill could be so
altered and twisted that the Democrats might
hope to carry one more OF them than they
count upon as the bill now stands.
But would such mutiation OF the bill by
the Democrats pay In the long rum 1t does
not meet the case to say that IL the Republic
cans were in power at Albany they would
very likely rcdistrict the State solely in their
own interests, without regard to fair treat
ment Of their opponents. This may DO true.
But the Democrats must do better than the
Republicans. Last fall they were placed In
power for this very purpose. II they fail in
their duty independent voters may think 1t Ia
OF no use to turn Republicans out OF Office
merely TO lot Democrats get In.
The Senate should pass the Assembly bill,
and make an end of this troublesome matter.

ArbOr Day.

Gov. DAWES OF Nebraska has invited tho
people OF that State to celebrate Wednesday,,
April 10, as "ArbOr Day." by planting trees.
For tho purpose OF encouraging a general
observance OF the day, the State Board OF
Agriculture have offered an "Arbor Day
premium" to be given to the person planting
tho largest number Of trees upon that day.
They have issued a classified list OF tho va
rieties Of trees the planting of which they de-
sire to encourage. This premium, 1t should
BIO said, is in addition to liberal premiums
offered by tho Board to tho person planting
tho largest number OF trees during tho year
1t seems that the authorities Of at least
one State appreciate the great and growing
dangers arising from tho reckless destruc-
tlon OF forests which has been going on with
such rapidity in tho last quarter Of century.
The plan adopted by the Board Of Agrlcul-
turo and Gov. DAWES IL an excellent one.
Aside from the actual increase In tho number
OF trees planted each year, the custom Of
setting apart o special day for tree planting

NO DYNAMITE IN WASHINGTON
Mr.. West Knows OF No Plots and the Brit.
ish Legation IL Imperturbsd.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The house occu-
pied by the British Legation is very large and
very solid and it would take considerable
dynamite to blow 1t up. Thus far no dynamite
has been exploded In its cellar. Mr.. West con-
tinues to live there and 1t is not true as re-
ported that he has sent his family away for
safety. Not a suggestion Of dynamite has been
made to Minister West or to any OF the members
OF the Legation. Ono OF Mr. Vests secretaries
said this afternoon that no one had given in
formation that there was dynamite preparing
land: moreover that not single word oral or
written. had passed between the Legation and
the State Department on the subject OF dyna-
mite for there had been no reason to complain
blowing up Of anything English. This exactly
corresponds with Information from the State
Department. all the officials declaring that
there has never been word received from the
British Minister on the subject.
About two weeks ago an alleged private de-
tective named Hoover went to Minister West
with a revelation about q pretended Fenian
plot but 1t Is not true that his story was about
house. This man was employed for u day or
two until he was found to be humbug who
had really no information whatever. These
people with stories about plots are constantly
are Hooycrs.
Notwithstanding the sensational reports that
have been sent from here there Is no talk in
Washington on the subject OF dynamite. The
tive. The State department Is not supprossing
anything, because there is nothing to suppress.
The English police officers who are in this
countrynre here to ia ko about persons whose
men or dynamite flends. but are charged with
forgery and kindred offences.
