Time and again we have noted with
pain tendency on the part of Mr.. Nc
Kinley to allow interested or corrupt
advisers to place him in positions of
suspicion and humiliation before the
American people. In the present IN
stance we feel impelled to admonish
him, with sentiments Of the greatest
friendliness for him personally. that he
is being driven toward the edge OF a
chasm of insane blunder, to fall into

reputation that is still respectable. in

stances, and perhaps unavoidable but

they have been forced to walk home
with no means to buy provisions on the
way. This is all done in the interest of
United States marshals.
We do not have to depend on the
word of the Indians alone for this
knowledge of their sufferings. The
Commissioner of Indian Affairs bears
out their allegations and specifies some
of TIE methods of robbery. Unfortu-
nately these are not applied to the Pill
layers alone, but to all Indians in the
Northwest. Even the iong-ciVilized
tribes in Wisconsin are regularly de-
frauded of their rights in pine timber.
The laws that were enacted in pre-
tended care for the welfare of the red
men, are easily made the means of
their robbery. 1t only needs political
influence enough on the part of logging
pointed to the offices of Indian agents TO
enable them to defraud a whole tribe
without violating the distinct provis-
ions of the law.
The only remedy is that proposed by
the Indian conference at Montauk
Point-to take the whole matter out of
politics. There is a voluntary organi-
cation that has for its sole purpose the
protection of the Indians in all their
rights. All times it has attempted TO in
fluence the appointment or retention of
men as agents who are known TO be
honest and efficient, but this has always
been defeated by some active politician.
Long ago ii suggested that the regular
army should have the full control of
! the Indians; that an army officer should
| be detailed to act as agent, and that
board of officers should determine all
| questions that are now settled by poll
| ticians in the interest of corporations
that contribute largely to the campaign
| funds. 1t is a common fallacy that
army officers would be more severe on
the Indians than civilians. AS matter
| of fact, the officers of the army. when
they speak on the subject condemn the
white officials for every outbreak, and
/ their sympathies are entirely with the
red men. If the army can be taken out
of politics again. it will solve all Indian
| questions TO allow an army board to
! govern these wards of the nation.
