The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-04-01

nv nomadic tribes of Indians is cultivated,
and it quite naturally occurs to him that
as he has to support these untamed
tribes of Indians, that he ought to have
the land that they refuse to cultivate, in
order that he may be more able to con-
tribute to the support of these idle and
murderous savages.
The redskin autocrats of this country
have in possession 1872 100000 acres of the
very best land in the country, with very
little of it in cultivation. The law gives
an Indian squaw 1,100 acres of land
and if she has fur children the family
are allowed $500 acres as a play ground,
and, as we have remarked, in addition to
this Uncle Sam furnishes free lunch
counter, at which these dusky Migrants
stuff three times a day or oftener, the
bill paid by the able-bodied people of the
United States. Idleness has never been
cured by donations of food and clothing,
tobacco and whisky. If you want to con-
firm white man in vagrancy, give him
money or food whenever he is hungry
and clothing and shelter whenever he is
cold. If white man needs the spur of
necessity to make him work, how
much more SO does an Indian,
who has inherited laziness for
generations until it has become his ma
ture. The only way to civilize the Indian
is to cut off his supplies, apportion each
a certain amount of land, teach him the
use of tools and farming implements,
while he is hungry and cold, and let him
know when the supplies then given him
in his outfit start are exhausted he will
have to depend upon his own labor to
keep body and soul together.
He ,an be taught this. Many of them
in the Indian territory are good farmers,
merchants, mechanics, doctors, lawyers,
members of council, secretaries and gov
ernors. The governor of the Greek
nation would be mistaken for
Castillian knight of the olden time,
and he is full-blooded Indian. They
are capable of high Christian civiliza-
