The way General Sherman grappled
with the Indian question was unique.
He came to the conclusion that the
easiest solution of it was to bring all the
Indians east and board them at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. OF course you smile.

drawbacks, but it had one decided ad-
vantage, that it would have given him
such grip on the difficulty as to place
its solution in his own hands. e. Smith
