ARMSTRONG ANN THE "sTAR" q,
THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

ANhNhN
When Kansas city paper essays 10
touch-on questions effecting the two
territories il tells great deal OF what
IL does not know about good many
things. In late issue the Kansas
City Star speaks of General Arm
strong's report OF the Dawes commits
sion. General Armstrong is built
somewhat on tbs order of Capt Kidd,
and loves TO talk, and here is the way
the Star sizes up his talk, "Kickapoo
Legislature" and all
The statement is made by General
Armstrong, of the Dawes commission,
that the more progressive and intelli-
gent Indians are in favor OF the diff
ferent legislatures of the territory APP
pointing or eleeting commissioners to
treat with the general government In
respect to the creation of a territorial
government aud the sale OF the lands.
They are aware that the present tribal
relations OF the Indians cannot be
maintained ind efiuitely, and that, in
the absence of co operation on the part
of the Indians themselves, congress
will be compelled ultimately to take
this matter in hand and change the
plan OF a nation within nation,
which is the situation under the exist
ing arrangement
In effecting the change which must
be made before anything like lay and
order can be established in the terri
tory, the Dawes commission strongly
favors the scheme OF Indian repFeseu-
tation in the preparat ory negotiations
and this view is supported among the
Choctaws and Kickapoos and Chero-
KEGS to the extent OF circulating petit
tions asking their legislatures to APP
point commissions to meet the repre-
sentatives OF the government in the
case. This is encouraging, and 1t
shows that the creation of the Dawes
commission has been by no means
fruitless II the commission has
achieved no other result it has caused
many people to acquire more accu.
rate knowledge OF the Indian question
than they ever possessed before aud to
form intelligent conclusions touching
that vexed and complicated problem.
The work OF the commission aud the
information it has furnished to the
public will persuade even the senti-
mentalists, IL they are fair, that thei c
is no design on the part OF the govern
ment to treat the Indian harshly or 10
defraud him OF his rights. II is pro
posed to pay him fair price for his
land and To situate him in such way
that he will be able to maintain him
self by moderate industry.
The government cannot do more
than this and the time has come when
the interests Of civilization will suffer
IL II does less. The consensus of en-
ligitened opinion is that the Indian
must learn TO do for himself, and he
made amenable To the same laws 70
which all the balance of the popula
tion Is sui jected. II has been found
subversive OF peace and order aud OF
sound economic policy to maintain an
Indian nation with habits and usuages
entirely distinct from those Of the peo'
pie outside OF the territory Inhabited
by the red men, and the scheme to
make the Indian an American citizen
with responsibilities and obligations
which will tend TO develop the best
that is in him, cannot be rightfully
reckoned as hardship or an injustice

Mexico weekly ledger., 1895-11-28
PETITION FOR DoNNELLY.
Is Being Circulated and Signed by
Mexico's Most influential
Business Men.

W. w. Harper is circulating a Pc
tition which reads as follows:
ITO VIM. j. Stone, Governor of the
State of Missouri: We, the under
signed citizens of Mexico and Audrain
County, do most earnestly petition
Your Excenency and pray that you
commute the sentence of Joe Donnel-
ly, now in jail in Audrain County un-
der sentence Of death, to imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. We are
familiar with the case and its history
and feel and believe that 1t would
best subserve the ends of justice to
commute the sentence
Although the petition has been cir
culated very little as yet, still q large
number of Mexico's most prominent
and influential citizens have signed it,
and it Ia doubtful II there is any one
who will refuse to do so. When filled

public opinion.
