Some Good Indians Living.

Back in the time when il was the
popular saying and the firm belief that
tie Cnly good Indian was a dead In
dian. 1t is probable that the Sioux was
more prominently in mind than any
other tribe. In the early days of the
middle West the wars of the Sioux
against other tribes and against the
whites were on the most extensive and
bloody scale. For generations in Iowa,
Minnesota. Dakota and Montana the
name of Sioux was the synonym of all
that was worst in Indian warfare.
Nowadays. despite all the fierce bat
ties and cruel massacres Of half CEN
tury ago. there still remain about
35.G00 Sioux. On the authority of the
late Governor Cue of Iowa, "the Sioux
were the most warlike and treachcrous
of all the tribes Which have at any
time had homes in this state. The
crueitieS perpetratcd by the Sioux upon
helpless women and children in this
greatest of all Indian massacres Uhe
one ir Minnesota in 1892 were never
surpassed i'm atrocity by savagcs in
any period Of the worlds history"
fession of Christian fellowship signify
anything i'm the way of reformation,
half the Sioux of today arc as good
as though they were dead. OF the
$500 now in existence. exactly one
half are enrolled in Christian com
munions. 400 being Roman Catho-
lies. 500 EpscopaIians, 1885, Pres
bytrrians. 1.022 Congregationalists
and several hundred more in various
denominations. Nor does the civil
iZed Sioux content himself with
quIcscent membership in church. Til"
New York Christian Advocate de
clares that the Indian is a born de-
batter and has become greatly inter
estcd in religious matters. The fol-
lowing are given as some of the topics
discussed by the Congregational and
Presbyterian Sioux:
How may our Sabbath schools be i'm
proved?
Is the custcm of making presents tu
the dead a good one?
What can be done to prevent church
members from backsliding at Fourth
of July celebrations?
Should one be engaged in hcathcn
and Christian practices at the same
time?
How may politics and religion hclr
each other?
When is the keeping of money a good
or an evil thing?
The evils of dancing.
Says the Iowa Register aud Leader:
Imagine the Sioux warriors wht
massacred nearly TIE entire settle.

The statement made by a Chicago
judge that within the last five years

here. among those who make a study
of sociology The statement is es-

from our lax method of enforcing
