Gen. Miles on the Indian Policy.


|, There is no man so we'll qualified 10
give advice on all questions concerning
the trea' 'ment of the Indians as General
Miles. He has been among them a great
deal, has s'u'liei th"ir needs, their hab-
its and their capacities. He unders' ands
every phase OF the Indian question, and
is really an expert on the subject OF the
relation which exists between them and
the Government. Besides that, Gen
Miles is known as man Of broad and
wise views in matters OF civil politv. In
newspaper interview recentlv, he sum-
marizad his views upon What to do with
the Indians in the following:
Destroy all tribal relation. Divide
lands now held hy treaty with civiliz d
or half civilized Indians in severalty and
compel each family or persons aushoriz'
ell under present homestead laws to
dwell on them
2. Sell tue remainder OF the lands,
amounting 10 millions OF acres, for the
heneft OF Indian school and agricnltu.
raj funds and open them to white settle.

Turn over the will and Wholly IN
civilized Indians, now few in number
to the care and custody OF the military
until they are capable Of taking upor
themselves the duties snd privileges o.
individual land holding. But, above all
destroy the tribal farce and wipe ou'
what is already an absurd humbug the
law of chief'ainship; it has no longel

THESE propositions merit the consil.

OF INTEREST TO PENSIONERS.
Decision of Commissioner Black
Relative to Land Warrants and
Pensions of 1912.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-In section 8 al
an act OF Congress, approved March 9
1873. it is "provided that when any per.
son has been granted land warrant un.
der any act Of Congress for and on &C
count of service IN the war of 1872 such
grant shall be prima facie evidence oi
his service and honorable discharge, so
as to entite him il living, or his widow
IL he be dead, to a pension under this
act :; but such evidence shall not he con
elusive, and may be rebutted by evidence
that such land warrant was improperly
granted"
In the case of widow OF soldier OF
the war OF 1872, whose husband during
his lifetime was granted both land war.
rant and pension, Commissioner Black
has recently decided that it would be q
great hardship to require, altar the lapse
OF Sd many years, new evidence to re-
establish the fact, character and period
OF service which had previously been de
'ermned by competent authority, the
prima facie case provided for by the stat
ute having thus been supplemented and
strengthened. and hence the Widows
claim for pension should be allowed and
no attempt made to Iebut the evidence
upon which her husbands claim foT
bounty land and pension had been grant.
ed.
In other cases, however, in which M
pension had been allowed the soldier, and
where only the prima facie csses made
by the Law exist, the matter Of pension
never having been adjudicated, the Com
missioner held that these were cases oil
6rst impression so far as claims for pen
sion are concerned, and as it appears lha
the husbands of the claimants were mol
in the service for fourteen days during
the war OF 1912, and the preponderance
o! evidence being that they were not il
any engagement in that war. the prime
facie case created by the statute is over
come, and the applications for pensions
in those cases will be rejected.
