A RED LOAFER.

Rubbing the Romance of Red Cloud-He
and His Warriors Nothing But Lazy Loaf
ers, Too Good to Work.
WASHINGTON, D. c., September 19.-
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House Leedom,
who was in charge of the Holman Indian
Committee, comes back to the city with
various novel views of the Indian race.
Red Cloud he believes to be loafer and
constitutional dead beat, who is the only
one of all the chiefs the committee has
visited that steadily refuses to allow his
children to attend school and take on the
ways of civilization. Red Cloud
tells his people that as long as the Great
Father knows that they are unable to
support themselves they will be provided
with rations, but if they become self
supporting they will receive no more
help. When it was suggested to him
that his men should learn to farm he
said:
"Our farmer (their instructor in agri-
culture) is not of the right kind. He
comes here and wants US warriors to
work. What we want is for the Great
Father to send us white men to plant
our corn, hoe it, reap it and put it In
barns, which they should build for US.
We are warriors and don't work. Squaws
work"
Mr.. Leedom says the committee has a
number of reforms in Indian government
to recommend. The general tenor OF
them all will be to treat the Indians like
children and govern them accordingly;
to teach them to farm and earn their
own living, but in the meantime TO care
for them whesever they are unable to do
so themselves.
