CIvILIZING THE INDIANS.
Gen. Morgan's Suggestions for the Arneliora-
ton Of Their Condition.

ton of Their Condition.
Gen. 7. J. Morgan, commissioner of Indian
affairs, delivered lecture before the Baptist
ministers conference in Philadelphia Mon
day morning on the Indian problem. He said
the settlement of the Indian problem was
one that interested every intelligent man, one
that involved the welfare and treatment of
100000 Indians, and questions of peace, expen-
diture of money and national honor. General
! Morgan suggests among the elements that
should enter into the government policy the
following:
First. Comprehensiveness In dealing with
| the Indians ii is important to consider all the
facts thoroughly comprehend their situation.
The Indians while alike i'll their relations to
the government differ widely among them
selves IN language. manner Snd customs and
IN the various stages Of their civilization and
any theory OF treatment which ignores these
facts must of necessity he wrong.
Second. Defniteness of aim. II il il the pur-
pose OF the government to eXterminate the
Indians they, with all the people. should now
H. IL the purpose is TO guard them pris-
oherS teedlrS and supporting them in idle
ness without regard to their future then that
should be stated If. however. it be the pur-
pose to incorporate these people into the
national lille as citizens then this should be
stated; unless there is held clearly before the
mind the ultimate end aimed at there can
be no wise adaptation of means and no proper
marshalirg of forces toward the develop
nent Of civilization among these ride and
barbarous people. A failure to comprehend
these features leads to grave errors of judg-
me Mt and results in laying blame where it
does not belong. Humanity prompts us
that by reason OF the wrongs which the In
dams have suffered by the infiowing tide of
immigration, which has driven them step by
step IRON their old homes reduced them to
dire necessities. TO be magnaninous end not
cruel For the sake Of the history We are max
lnS as Christian nation we should treat them
with as much kindness and generosity as is con-
sistent with their highest welfare.
Having determined upon a scheme for deal
ing with this matter We should regard as III ed
and sacred. Bring the Indians into right rela-
tonship with the age. put tools in their hands
by which they may gain for themselves food
and clothing and build for themselves homes
Ihey should be fostered. strengthened. MAIN
tanned and allowed to work. Time viii do the

For thirteen weeks the Drs French have been
in washington. at 1926 street. and have en-
rolled the great number of 675 patients for mag
netic treatment OF that immense number fully
two-thirds are pronounced perfectly and per-
manently cured, many Of whom had bsffied the
skill OF specialists in this and other cities. All
classes and nationalities are represented. and no
one has gone forth from their Office unless well
or convalescent. All kinds Of diseases. too. are
treated by them-Epilepsy, that fearful malady,
Is controlled and cured; Scrofula, Spinal and
nervous diseases. Cystitis, Lumbago and Cancer
are not only cured by them, but persons may
converse any day with others while ~siting
who consider themselves cured. The most pain
fui cases OF piles are cured every day by hem.
A lady who had been a great sufferer with piles
says she has not missed a day from the Do
partment during treatment His cures are not
made hundreds Of miles from Washington, but

any prejudice against the wonderful results of
magnetism as applied by DIR. French. Many of
the most stubborn cases are cured in a short
time by few magnetic treatments, but in no
case will they take q person for treatment I'M
less they are positive that cure can be made
in the short time remaining for their first visit

be infaliible, but he has knowledg. of his
business and knows, too. the natural magnetic
power he Possesses. The afflicted who have
tried all sorts of doctoring and given up in de-
