now as nearly perfect as anything that can
possibly be devised. and there can he no rea-
sonabe opposition made to its passage 1t is
not all that we could ask. nor all that we de-
sire, but it is a good, fair bill, which ought to
become a law.
s'Do you think the Indians will ratify the
bill if it should pass?
'sThere is not the least doubt in the world
of that. OF course there have been some
doubts expressed. but they do not rest upon
any reasonable basis think that the only
thing that could defeat the ratification OF this
bill by the Indians themselves would be the
appointment of an incompetent COMMISSION.
If the president should select eastern men
who have no acquaintance with Indian char
acter and no ability to effect an understand
ing with them. we might only expect failure.
IpreSume, however, that this course Will not
be pursued; that the president will select
men who know these Indians and can treat
with them, men whom the Indians trust and
that the full promise of the bill will be thor
oughly and fairly explained to them. so that
all their possible fears may be removed"
'What do you think of the seyeralty Dill
which has just been passed.
''Well, have been looking over that bill
and do not feel as much satisfaction in 1t as
1 thought should. AS it passed the senate
il was good bill. 1t was such bill as we
at Pierre and all over Southern Dakota
wanted. In case the Dawes bill to open the
reservation should become q law, this sever
atty bill would afford US some relief, but 1t
has been so amended in its passage through
the house that am not sure that it is going
to do us any good at all. doubt il it will re-
suit in fastening the allotment OF lands, and
it seems to me to SO confuse the authority for
conducting the allotment of lands that the
bill will be defeated by it's own terms. 1t is
a patchwork of clauses, which in one place
says the president shall have charge OF the
allotmets. and in another place says the sec
retary OF the interior shall have charge OF
them. When the bill was passed, the limit OF
time within which the Indians might be per-
mitted to voluntarily take lands was fixed at
two years. AS the bill goes to the senate, L
see. however, that the error is made OF max
ing it five years. This, l believe, was Senator
Dawes DESIRE and the only objection which
he would make in the senate. he says, is that
the terms should be five instead of two years.
1 hope the senate will straighten this out be-
fore it is concurred in, and that it may be
put into such shape as to do us some good"
