CHRISTIANS ARE PEAcEABLE.
may be mistaken, but hope that the last
war between Christian nations is ended.
Barbarians may mix their war paint, and
Afghan and Zulu hurl poisoned arrows, but
/ think Christian nations have gradually
learned that war Is disaster to victor as well
as vanquished, and that almost anything
bought by blood is bought at too dear price
wish to God that this nation might be a
model Of willingness for arbitration. No
need OF killing another Indian. No need Of
sacrificing any more brave Gen. Clusters
Stop exasperating the red man, and there
will be no more arrows shot out from the
reservation. A general Of the United States
army, in high repute throughout this land,
and who, perhaps, has been In more Indian
wars than any other officer, and who has
been wounded again and again in behalf Of
our government In battle against the In
dams, told me that all the wars that had ever
occurred in this country between Indians
and white men had been provoked by white
men, and that there was no exception to the
rule. While we are arbitrating with Chris
tian nations, let Us toward barbarians carry
ourselves in a manner unprovocative OF coif-
test
inherit large estate, and the waters are
with birds, and my corn fields are silken and
golden. Here is my sisters grave. Out
yonder, under that large tree, my father
died. An invader comes, and proposes to
drive me Off and take possession OF my prop
erty. He crowds me back, and crowds me
on, aud crowds me into a closer corner and
still closer corner, until after while say:
"Stand backi don't crowd mo any more, or
I'll strike. What right have you to como
here and drive me Off of my premisesi Z
got this farm from my father, and he got it
from his father. What right have YOU to
come here and modest mef' You blandly
say: "Oh, know more than you do. be-
long to higher civilization. ! cut my hair
shorter than you do. Icould put this ground
to great deal better use than you don And
you keep crowding me back and crowding
me on into a closer corner and closer cor
ner, until one day / look around upon
my suffering family, and, fired by
their hardships, hew you in twain.
Forthwith. all the world comes 10 your
funeral to pronounce eulogium, comes
TO my execution to anathematize me. You
are the hero, am the culprit. Behold the
United States government and the North
American Indian. The red man has stood
more wrongs than / would, or you. We
would have struck sooner, deeper. That
which is right In defense Of Brooklyn home
or a New York home Is right in defense OF a
home on top Of the Rocky mountains Be-
fore this dwinding red race dies completely
out, wish that this generation might by COM
mon justice atone ( r the inhumanity Of its
predecessors. In the day Of Gods Judgment,
would rather be blood smeared Modoc
than a swindling United States officer on an
