OUR INDIAN POLICY.

The views of Secretary Teller as to the
now in the hands of General Crook as pris-
oners are eminently sound, and should meet
the approval of the department having
authority in the premises. Mr.. Teller sug-
gests, in letter to Secretary Lincoln, that
the adults should be held as prisoners and
punished for their crimes, instead of per-
hitting them to return to their reservation,
as heretofore. As to the children he would
have them taken from their parents and
placed in the government indian schools.
1t would be difficult to either find a serious
fault in this policy, or to suggest an i'm
provement upon it. The practice of allow
ing these savages immunity for their crimes
by simply returning to their reservations
and resuming their Willingness to be fed and
clothed by the government, is a gushing
anomaly that has outlived itself, and it
is earnestly hoped will be succeeded
by policy of justice and
sound sense. Had the views of General
Sherman, expressed ten years ago been
adopted, we believe the Indian problem
would have been settled, or as nearly as it
can be while we have Indians and uncertain
white men. The government has placed its
self in the peculiar predicament of treating
with them as separate nations, and in turn
assuming almost absolute sway over their
affairs. AS to the existing treaties, they
should be carried out in good faith where
they have been fairly and understandingly
dian against responsibility for his crimes and
outrages. The rights of citizenship
ought to be so extended that he
would be amenable to the laws, and placed
under the jurisdiction of the courts the
same as other men. AS matters stand, if
white man should steal IS pony from the
reservation he would be imprisoned for it;
but the owner of the pony can leave the res
ervation and run off the entire herds of the
white man and escape the courts entirely.
1t is true that the Indian agent is presumed

but the people have concluded that Crazy

that the words of Mr.. Teller point to the ul-

opinion, declared that the liquor traffic is
regarded as pernicious and injurious in all
civilized governments, and hence is subject,
per Sc, to police regulation and restraint.
"In this respect" says the court sit has
business, and it is believed to have resulted
from humane feelings and a desire to sup
press immortality, vice, crime and disorder,
and the other miseries that follow in its
train" And the court also says: 1.-THE
business is, on principle, within the police
power of the State, and restrictions which
may rightfully be imposed upon it might be
obnoxious as an illegal restraint of trade
