the situation has become so hopeless as to
suggest no better remedy than the repeal OF
the existing laws for the protection OF the pub
lie domain.
Certainly this is remarkable proposition.
Even if tho laws have not hitherto been ad-
ministered, it does not follow, upon any sane
line of reasoning that they ought to be re-
ncaled. To do so would be to confess directly
and unequivocally that republican government
is n failure. and that the American people
cannot secure the administration of the laws
winch they themselves have enacted. The trhe
remedy lies not in repeal, but in vigorous
enforcement, and if need be in such amendment
~ the experience Of the past may suggest.
When some lonely suburb of Il city Is found To
be infested with thieves, we do not think Of
rcmcdying the evil by Withdrawing the police
from that quarter. or by abolishng the penal
ties for larceny. On the sane principle must
the land question be dealt with. II the laws
have failed. il is clearly in great part because
the means of enforcing them have not been
provided. But there is no reason to fear that
the Western cattle companies intend to defy
the whole power Of the United States, and ut
all events IA serious effort must be made to
punish lawlcSSneSs before any such theory Il
advanced. What is most needed is more vigil
aucc and energy in the administration of the
land laws, aud if stronger force is required
in the West for this purpose, Congress should
see that the means of providing it are furnished
promptly. But the time will never come when
it will be either advisable or necessary for the
United States Government to surrender uncon-
ditionally to the land thieves and monopolsts.

ways of living and who, because II they try to
do so they cannot escape collisions with our
citizens must ultimately be subjugatcd by force,
and held in a state of virtual captivity alike
degrading TO them and inconycnient to ms. The
only way to settle the question inielllgcntly Is
to sweep away all the rubbish of separate SOW
crcignty, treaty making power and the rest, ana
declare the Indian an American citizen without
more ado.
The result of TINT measure would be to solve
problem which has hitherto puzzled every
body. There is no civilzing agency half az
powerful az the imposition of responsibilities.
The Indian made citizen would instantly iind
himself strongly braced as to his progressive
tendencies and as strongly restricted as to his
savage tendencies. The shield Of American
law would be thrown over him. and the sword
of American justice would oppose his bar
barism. Given the saiae opportunities as the
rest of us, he would then have to stand or fall
by his own merits. All his capacity would be
brought out: his life wond be furnished with a
constant stimulus. lie would no longer be
treated like n spoiled chill or an outcast He
would no longer be the prey OF roSnes. VI
course ii would be proper either to make due
Land reservations for him. but not i'll com
monaliy, or to capitalize the valuc of the lands
surrendered By him, and thus form fund from
which he might be assisted at the outset OF his
new life. But there is no other way by which
the Indian can be given fair opportunity to
establish himself under the conditions which
American civilization have imposed upon the
land, nor il there any other which Is really a.
just 10 him. The present muddled method OF
dealing with him can only result in his ruin and
extinction, aud Christian nation cannot De
