There is, however, 4 form of labor
which the Indians might, perhaps, be

show such a willingness they would
no doubt succeed. The cattle interest
Of the Western plains is certain to be-
come one of the leading industries of
the country, if not the first; and as it
grows and the herds increase, there
will be a large demand for herd
ers. Tho life of a cowboy is not SO
far removed from that of an Indian as
to make the transition for the latter a
matter of much difficulty, while the
work necessary has SO much of adven-

lmdlail COWBOYS.

The presence of Father Conradi at
Washington, with q plan for civilizing
the Indians, ono more calls attention
TO this much discussed question. The
Conrad idea 10 based on the assump-
tion that at present the allowance of
land per Indian is altogether too liber-
al. and furnishes the savages with an
excuse, if they needed one, for idle
nsss and all the vices and evils that
follow III its train. Father Conra,ii
accordingly proposes to remedy tho
present state Of things by curtaillng
the acreage allowed and setting apart
. definite reservation of 100 acres of
good land to each Indian capable of
working; then settle the Indians upon
chs land in small societies, to each
dozen allowing a practical farmer to
teach them the business. Additional
clauses provide for employing those
incapable. by age or intirmity. of do
Ing full work. and Father Conradi is
sure that in a very few years we shall
hear nothing mor of the Indian ques-
tion. since the problem will have
answered itself by the Indians becom-
ing honest. industrious. and law-abid-
ing citizens.
So far as the plan is set forth in the
dispatches, tho only thing new about
II ls that Of its proposal by Father
Conrad. The principal objection to
Il is found In the fact that il, or some
plan akin to it, has been tried again
and again, and has invariably failed,
because it presupposod tho consent Of
the Indians to the arrangement, and
this consent has never been obtained.
Tho hatred Of tho ordinary Indian to
anything in tho guiso Of manual labor
Is something wonderful. Ages Of ex-
