The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1895-03-01


This is Objectionable in that it desires the gov
ernment to accept as wards. with all that the |
name implies in the matter OF protection anu /
support, band of foreign Indians who are ue-
scribed as outlaws and robbers, breeding as
sent among our more settled and partially civil |
lied tribes. " il would clearly be impolitic for |
the government to Introduce uDon Ms Indian |
reservations disturbing elements OF this charac-
ter. Such a course would invite rclniorce-
ments from over the Canadian border. In rs-
sponse to petitions from the Cree Indians ask
ing TO be placed upon our Indian reservations.
i have conferred with the federal authorizes
without satisfactory results in tnat direction,
and am confident that to memorialize congress
to that end will prejudice the real object 10 De
attained namely, the removal OF the Cree In
dians from the state. To settle these Indians
upon our reservations, either upon lands III
Sc yeralty or otherwise, would Involve new ques-
tiOns for internationa consideration that would
indefinitely postpone the settlement OF the Cree
problem and prevent the throwing open OF these
reservations in part to white settlers. am
firmly of the opinion that but one course should
be pursued relative TO the Cree Indians,
namely, the insistance that congress shal take
steps to remove them from the state, aud. in de-
fault OF this legislative ac.ion that will att ain
the same result.
The question was then put whether the
vote should be sustained or the bill passed
regardless of the governors refusal TO
sign it, with the following result:

that he would tomorrow move to recon-
