10, THE POOR INDIAS.
Secretary Noble Thinks the Red Men
Should Be Made 10 work


WASHINGTON. January A. Secretary
Noble spoke today with some earnestness of
the reports to the effect that the Indians are
in starving condition and the present
trouble is due to the fact that the govern
ment had not kept its agreement with the
Sioux but had already begun to cut down
tue rations supplied them, in violation of all
treaty obligations. The Secretary de-
nounced these statements as unqualifiedly
false. The story of starvation among the
Sioux was pure fabrication. For ten years
the government In fulfillment of its treaty
obligations, had been feeding the Sioux in
idleness. Some were thrifty farmers and
good citizens but large proportion were
shiftless and indolent. The of treaty 1877, the
Secretary said, obligated the government to
furnish them with certain amount of food,
clothing, implements, horses, cattle. etc. un-
I'LL tney became self-SuppOrting. After ten
years had elapsed, during which the govern
ment had spent millions of dollars with the
view to placing the Indians on self sup
porting basis, members of Congress very APP
propriately, began TO inquire whether IL was
the purpose of the government to continue
indefinitely and forever this policy of feed
Ing Indians who persisted in living in idle
ness. They thought it about time to test
tnelr aollity to support themselves. So the
appropriation was reduced by $1,000 not a
very idISo dmOuuJ W0en compared with the
vast sum of the usual appropriation called
for. Thereupon, the Indian immediately
began to complain, but maze no effort to-
ward feeding himself. He occupied vast
territory containing thousands of acres of
productive land and was supplied with
everything necessary to improve it and raise
good crops, but he preferred to do nothing
and let the government continue to put his
food in his mouth. 1t was time, the Secre-
taIy Thought, that these people be compelled
to do something. He had lost patience with
