THE INDIAN Observation-Disclosures
The special friends OF the Indians In
Congress are making'efiorts to do some
thing practical for them. They pro-
nose that wherever the President thinks
any reservation is advantageous for
agricultural or grazing purposes and the
Indians quartered thereon are sufficient
" civilized to encourage the hope that
AN allotment of lands in seve-
#alty will be for their benefit he
#mav allot said lands to them.
They propose. however, that ample
safeguards shall be thrown around
them, so that they shall not fall preys
to land-sharpers. 1t is further pro-
posed TO bring them under the laws of
the United States, but not to make
them citizens. Citizenship, they say,
will follow in course dtime. The ex-
periments being made u Hampton for
the education of indians is watched
with much interest. ~
