Indian Affairs.

The troublous question regarding
the Indians is referred TO editorially
by the Pioneer Press, as follows:
"Gen. Miles has persistently advo-
Gated the transfer Of the nomadic In
dian tribes to the care Of the war de.
partment, aud the abolition of their
large reservations, Oh which they are
supported by the government. This
proposition has been frequently dis
eussed in Congress; but there is such
an abiding faith in the old method OF
dealing with these people, especially
on the part OF the traders, contractors
and department officials who reap no
incousiderabIe profit from the arrange
ment, that no progress has been made
to the proposed change, in favor Of
which much can be said. Gen. Miles
argues that the present chronic state
of insecurity and the periodic out
break of hoslllities will continue IL the
Indians are not placed under govern
ment strong enough to bold them
aud just enough to command thei
respect They would, under war de
partment control, receive their sup
plies by perfectly regulated and eff
cient system, which would proven
the starvation aud swindIing processes
SO long current under the existing
system. They would sooner becom,
self.supporting, and be weaned from
their nomadic life, aud would gradu
ally become an agricultural aud stocl
raising people. Such system would
of course, not interfere with mission
airy work among the Indians, as as
serted by many WRITER'S

of the United States, east, west, north
and south. This meant that he was
at the head Of an army Of nearly II
million men. 1t had been gathered
up by four years of education and de-
veIopment Of the energies of the
north. About 100000 were actually
available for service. OF all these
Grant from his headquarters was to.
direct the movements. How well do
his men remember the Wilderness
and Spotsvlvania, North Anna aud
Cold HarbOr. Then the movement
against Lees army, Atlana had
fallen on September ?, "a. Sherman
had risen in favor and had marched
triumphantly to the sea. There was
movement to place Sherman at the
head but Sherman wrote preferring
Grant. Then came the draft Of $500
900 men. The battle Of Five Forks,
fought April ], '6j, was the beginning
vi Tue tllu duu hiANl AhN h-9'uih oiNii >
the lines, ordered for Sunday April
End. The battle ground extended
from Five Forks to Petersburg, Fort
Gregg surrendered at $50 o'clock and
the last defense of Richmond and the
lost cause was gone.
The above are only a few meagre
references 10 some of the principal
events of the conflict that made Gen
Grant the hero of the nation. They
scarcely need the telling except Il
keep in mind the chain Of those grea
events. His life in the executive
chair and his actions since are famil
sar to US all. His grandeuar will in
crease as the days roll on and the
