A Letter from the President In Response
TO M. &, Conference Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, April "A letter has
been written by the president in response
to a resolution adopted at the session Of
the Philadelphia annual conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, held in Phil
adelphia, in which he says: ! have re-
ceived certain resolutions passed at the
annual conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church held at Philadelphia on the
Goth. The action taken by this assem-
blage Of christian men has greatly sur
prised and disappointed me. They de-
clare that this conference earnestly pro
tests against the recent action of the gov
eminent excluding the use Of native Lam
guages in the education Of the Indians
and especially the exclusion Of the bible
among those tribes where it was formerly
used. The president continues: The
government seeks In IFS management Of
the Indians to civiIize them and prepare
them for that contact with the world
which necessarily accompanies civiliza-
lion. Manifestly nothing is more Impor-
tant to the Indian from this view than q
knowledge Of the English language. All
the efforts Of those having the matter IN
charge tend to the Ultimate mixture of
the Indians with Jul people, thus making
one community equal in all those rights
which pertain to citizenship.
II VIII not do to permit these wards Of
the nation in their preparation to become
their own master, to indulge in their bar
barous languages, because II is
easier for them or because
it pleases them. Secular teaehing
IS the object Of the ordinary government
schools, but surely there can be no OBJ
jecti0n TO reading a chaptef in the bible
In English. Among the Dakota tribes
English could not be understood at the
daily opening of those schools, as is done
In very many other well regulAted secular
schools.
IT may be too that the use Of words In
the yernacular may be sometimes neces-
sary 20 aid in communicating 3 knowledge
Of the English language, but the use Of
the yernacular should not be encouraged
or continued beyond the limit OF such ne
cessity and the textbooks, the local in
strucfion,p In d general senGe the @cur.
ricplnm,n certainly should be IN English.
In missionary schools moral apd reiig-
|ious instruction may be given Ia the GER
l~nacular as an auxiliary 70 English. In
conveying such instruction until It Is dem
onstrated that the rules of the Indian bu.
reau operate as impedimepts to Indian
advancement, they win be adhered to,

FOOTPRINTS OF THE RED MEN.


While not fully entering into the
ssnti nsnt Of the following article ia
ken from the Macleod Gazette. we
ssoo nmend 1t - . good production
veil worthy Of persual:
A feeling Of sadness creeps v e "a
hearts ~ we gaze upon the lingering
traces Of Of civilization, supplapted by
anoble system ofmorslity aud religion.
Here and there along the rivers, On
che prairies and In the forest and
mountains, the pioneers Of the CONT
Asnt have left impressions Of their
sustoms that reveal their hidden lore
% those trained to listen and interpret
che language Of the insnimats things
that surround US In life. In former
years the old trees that skirted the
river were the resting places Of ths
dead, but the strong winds and the
decay OF natural things have destroy
Cd them, and few Of these receptacles
containing an Indian chief or famous
warrior now exist. Sometimes small
circles OF stone may be seen on the
prairie which were kept in position
at the bottom OF the lodges. but these
are becoming scattered, and even
when they remain, a. they arc left,
few persons can tell the cause Of this
popularity. The sscrifcial offerings
surrounding strange shaped rocks and
trees have been seized by vaudals and
cast away, %betokening q different kind
Of training. and a lack OF appreciation
OF the religious customs OF the red
men. Cairns Of stones oftentimes
marked The spots where famous bat
ties had been fought between hostile
tribes, and could they but speak, very
strange narratives would they tell Of
horse stealing, cruel torture and scalp
ing. A few ofthese cairns are still 10
existence, but most OF the actors In
those bloody genes have gone to the
land beyond, and the history Of these
strifes will so on be sunk in depths, Of
oblivion.
Long years before the advent of the
white man upon the continent, the
highways Of the New World were In
the trails OF the red men. The rivers
were the highways for those who trsv.
elled by canoe, and many genes strange
and sad were enacted on these waters.
Over tie mountains and p~rairies their
singular pathways led to distant camp
fires, and the homes OF hostile tribes:
Through the forest they led unmarked
by tree, mound or stone, the keen eye
of the red man, and the instinct of
the ace easily guiding him safely 10
his destination. These constitute a
singular network over the continent,
and many started on their journey
from their camp fires and lodges who
were destined never TO return.
Could these scenes Of former years
be revived, what strange emotions
would thrill our hearts. The men
have gone aud much Of their history
has died with them. The fires that
bur ned. the tales Of adventure that
were told are things Of the past. The
railroads follow the old trails and the
remnants OF the red race have receded

in front of the Ninth Vermont, and
taking off his hat, solemnly said:

had anything to drink.
Stannard c~ourteously handed him

captain poured out Q horn and AFRO

"Colonel, here is TO the health OF

"To ask and accept o courtesy OF Q

that an honorable soldier would

and gave him o severe scolding, saying
the repetition of such an insult to
