plain the causes3which led to this par
ticular outbreak, chief among then
being the withholding of money right
fully due the Indians, who had waited
in hunger, dissatisfaction and perplex-
ity for some two months. He concludes
with the statement that our race would
not be proof against the corrupt influ-
ences which have been brought to bear
upon the Indian. and that "they would
make Sodom Of any civilized commun-
ity under heaven"
| Naturally, such very plain speaking as
this aroused resentment, but it is now
generally conceded that most OF it was
justified. Soon afterward, the bishop
visited Washington and talked with Lin
coin upon the subject so near his heart.
OF this conversation he says:
"Mr. Lincoln had known something of
Indian warfare in the Black Hawk war.
He was deeply moved He was man of
profound sympathy, but he usually re-
lieved the strain upon his feelings by
telling story. When 1 had finished he
said:
Bishop, man thought that mon
keys could pick cotton better than ne
groes because they were quicker and
their fingers smaller. He turned lot
Of them into his cotton field, but he
found that 1t took two overseers TO
watch one monkey. 1t needs more than,
one honest man to watch one Indian
agent,
"A short time after this President
Lincoln, meeting friend from Illinois,
asked him If their old friend, Luther
Dearborn. had not moved to Minnesota.
Receiving an affirmative answer he said.
When you see Lutte, ask him II he
knows Bishop whipple. He came here
the other day and talked with me about
the rascality of this Indian business
until felt it down to my boots. If we
get through this war, and l live, this
Indian system shall be reformed!'"
Bishop Whittle is one of the men, rare
among churchmen for some reason or
other, who can talk with primitive hu-
man beings and get at their real
thoughts and feelings. The Catholic
Church has picked out this material foc
the priests whom 1t has sent among tn,
Indians, ard for that reason has had
much success in Christianizing and con-
trolling them. But this pioneer bishop,
with his magnificent physique, his sim
plicity of nature, and his earnestness,
has put into his work talents which
The Washington times., 1902-10-26

might In other circumstances have made
him a diplomat CT statesman; and y
needs all of those talents. He was quick
from the first to see where he made mis-
takes. and not to make them more than
once. He says in an earlier chapter:
'In my first sermons to the Indians
preached as I would to white men;
but after one of the services chief
said to ME:
What does the white man mean by
slandering my people and calling them
sinners? We are not sinners. We
know that his people are sinners. It
is his people who bring fire-water and
evil to my people and our daughters
1t is better that he talks to them"
There is much truth in this. but 1t
is not every white man to whom an
Indian would express himself thus
frankly. or who would see the Justice
of the argument when made.
Another Indian story which he tells
is sort of proof of the truth Of this
argument:
'.'The Legislature had demanded the
removal Of ell Indians from Minnesota,
and the authorities at Washington had
prepared treaty by which the Chip
pewas were to relinquish their lands
and remove to country north OF
Leech Lake, and special agent was
sent to negotiate the treaty. The man
was without the slightest knowledge
Of Indian character He came to see
me and begged me to help him make
the treaty. After examining the paper
I said:
1.-The Indians will not sign this
treaty; they are not fools. This is the
poorest strip of land In Minnesota. and
is unfit for cultivation. You propose
to take their arabic land, their best
hunting ground, their rice fields. and
their fisheries, and give them country
where they cannot live without the sup
port of the Government
''The agent was angry, and replied:
If you will not help me, I will ne
gotiate 1t without your help
{" You can try it, replied, but you
will certainly fall
"He called all the Indians together
at Grow Wing, and made this speech to
them:
" Ny friends, your Great Father has
heard how much you have been wronged.
and he determined to send an honest
man to treat with you. He looked in
