INDIAN LAND

President Grants administration
has heretofore held the blue ribbon
for scandals and rottenness, but if in
vestigatioHs r pushed it is thought
there will be unearthed scandals that
exceed those of Grants administra-
ton. True, these scandals did not all
arise during the present administra-
ton. Those in the postomce depart
ment cover a period of twenty years,
but they have been continuous, grow
ing worse as the years went by.
The new scandals arose in recent
years in the interior department.,
and they relate to the government
of the Indians, and more particular
ly to the disposition of public lands.
The complainant is Nh. Brosius,
who was sent to the Indian territory
by the Indian Rights association,
and it is much easier to state the
rottenness he did find.
He found that trust companies Or
ganized aud differed by members of
the Dawes commission, and other Of
fcials entrusted with the care of the
Indians, were securing lands from
the Indians at ridiculously low
prices, and were engaged in resell
ing them ct high prices. District at
torneys and all sorts of territorial
officials lad fingere in the pie, and
the Indians were mercilessly robbed
at every turn.
Secretary Hitchcock claims that
he has been investigating the charges
since May, but not a single official
has been removed or admonished or
punished. Not a trust company or
ganizeti try them has been dIsbanded,
and "tne gentlemen of the Dawes
commission are going ahead un-
checked.
Congress will soon meet and if the
democrats do not see that these
wards of the nation are protected,
and as far as possible that restitution
is made, they will not do their duty
The scandals in the Indian territory
are far the most scandaleus that
have been unearthed, because they
pertain to our duties as guardians Of
the remnant of original inhabitants.
To rob the first settlers is indeed q
grave Offense.
