HvMBU0 AND ExTORTI0N.

Hippodromic humbugs have fig
ured conspicuously and added a
marked feature in the history Of
the United States, among its peo-
pie and we regret to say, in the le-
galizing and administration Of
the mandates Of the law. Espec-
tally has this been the case with
reference to the red race.
Since the day when first the
American Indian were discovered
living "after the manner Of the
golden age,'' their right to the
soil upon which they lived, nay
their existence, has been disputed,
and under various pretexts they
have been made to forsake the
homes Of their birth; in some few
instances they have been treated
with the courtesy becoming Ma
tion in the conducting Of such ne
gotiations. In the majority Of
cases they have been led, nay
forced to give up their possession
through the nefarious machination
Of greed and unsrupulous infuen-
ces; they have been led by delu-
siye representations to confdingly
throw off all distrust, when they
were deceived, plundered, their
villages destroyed, their families
murdered and outraged and oft
times sold as menial slaves into
the possession of brutal masters.
Within a few years the facili-
ties of schools and the advantages
Of education has tended to sharpen
the Indians estimates of moral
justice as also the value of his in
terest in realty. Under these cir
cumstances he has stubbornly
contested every foot Of ground
that has been illegally extorted
from his race. On the other hand
the invaders and would be possess
ors of his home, has equally been
active and relentless, and have
not been 10th to add blood-shed to
prosper their rapcious motives and
satiate rancorous prejudlces. These
sanguinary occurrences, in a meas
ure, eliminated on that fatal day
in the valley Of the Little Big
Horn when the heroic Custer and
his brave legion fell victims to the
Wiles of misguided ambition in
censed by the lamentable blunders
and distorted issues of abortive
legislation.
With the voluntary submission
Of Sitting Bull and his valiant
host the Indian as a fighting pow
er practically ceased in the United
States. Since then the number
Of measures, bills and pretexts
that have come up at every session
Of Congress, for the relief (of his
land right) Of the Indian, is legion.
In general, the primary motives
and the construction Of these So
called 'relief bills have had issue
of soulless land grabbers, timber
thieves and scheming politicians.
and not as the public would be led
to believe to promote the interest
of the Indian and prosper Nation
al welfare. Of late this legislation
has become SO prevalent as to be
legibly admitted as chronic and
as equally silly and devoid Of sin
cerity as to become the laughing
stock Of an intelligent public and
a hippodrome and humbug in the
estimate Of the unbeguiled Indian,
whose prudence in this wise is a
detriment to individuals and cor.
porations whose motives, were

clothed with the legal priv iilsges
and sanctity Of law, are as infa.

An AGENTS pRivlLEGE.


AN AGENTS PRlvlLEoE.
Referring to the late order that
agents shall select their own
clerks and other subordinates, = Il
true, we believe that this is as Il
should be. It is true that in the
hands Of an unscrupulous agent
this power Of designation would be
dangerous, and have tendency to
create circle of subordinates
whose sole aim would be to aid
and abet their principal in any
course he might choose to pursue.
But great as such an evil would be;
and however hard combination
Of individuals whose interests were
bound together by such a tie,
might act upon those who were
not tolerant Of the foibles Of an
agent, we yet believe that the ap-
pointing power vested in an agent
would better serve the interests Of
any reservation.
The position Of an agent is, in
some respect, an onerous one. As
disburser Of greater or less sums,
as custodian Of greater Of less
quantity Of valuable property, he
is put under heavy bonds, and is
thus made responsible, pecuniarly,
for the actions Of his subordinates.
Being SO responsible it is but. fair
that he should be allowed the priv
ilege Of choosing those who are to
serve under him. The clerk par
ticularly because the accounting
is his work, and if incompetent,
will inyitably create confusion and
loss to his principal. And not on
ly this, but in the temporary ab-
sence Of an agent, he becomes the
representative, in a large degree,
Of his principal, therefore he
should be an Individual in whom
an agent can trust.
A clerk who owes his appoint
ment to sources higher than an
agent, is generally one imposed
upon him because Of political in.
fuence, and he (the clerk may be
thereby SO influenced by this quasi
independence as often to disregard
the. work it belongs to him to per-
form.
Under Gen. Atkins. but really
by the policy Of Mr.. Upshaw, a
custom has arisen which ignores
an agent; clerks, physicians, farm
ers, ct al, have been sent where
they should NEVER have gone. By
means Of this powerful patronage
Mr.. Upshaw has attempted to
build up
HIS own Political Importance,
and without any regard for the
efficiency Of the service.
We believe then that the Secre-
tary Of the interior has acted wise.
" if he really has relegated to
agents q power they always have
enjoyed. It is a power which in
the hand Of a wise agent can be
productive Of great good.
As a guard against the creation
Of q clique which such power in
the hands Of an unscrupulous
agent can bring about, it ought to
be made the duty Of the Depart.
ment. to consider charges against
these subordinates and without
reference to the agent.
If these subordlnates are proven
guilty Of any acts which should
Justify their removal, they should
