Omaha. The late Carl Schurz is best
remembered in Omaha as the cause Of
the American Indians being admitted
to tull citizenship in this cOuntry-not
through his taking the side of the red
men in the long struggle, but because
he, as secretary OF the interior, issued
an order which so aroused the west TO
the wrongs of the Indian that cru
sade was started in Omaha which
reached TO all portions of the United
States, lasted seven years. and ended
by supreme court decisions and legisla-
tive enactments making the Indian as
free us a white man il he choose to be
so, and TO accept the conditions OF
civilization.
SChurz had the order issued to Gen.
Crook, then stationed at Omaha and
commanding this department of the
army, and Immediately the cause Of
the Indian was taken up by Thomas
II. Tibbles. late vice presidential can
didate on the popuist ticket; Cen

Of the interior. The government was
an absolute autocrat over the destiny
OF the red man in the entire country.
Pitiful Funeral Procession.
Back in 1879 n pitiful procession
wended its slow way northward from
Indian territory, bound for the prairies
Cf Nebraska. There were 30 Indians
on foot and one Old wagon, drawn by
two wornout horses. In the wagon
was the dead body of child-an In
dian boy. The leader of the little par
ty was the father of the dead child;
the famous Ponca Indian chief, Stand
ing Bear, n few years later to be the
best-known Indian in the entire world
and to speak in every city In the
country in behalf OF his people.
Standing Bears party was en- route
to the Niobrara country, in northern
Nebraska, to bury the child in the an

They had started on the long trip, al

Us" said Iron Eye.
But the government, through Schuu,
said NO
So Crook arrested the old chief and
brought him and his followers down
10 Omaha. And with them came the
wagon bearing the dead child.
Standing Bear told Crook his indi-
yidual story. The great Indian fighter
knew the general history of the In
lians and was already indignant at
their treatment, but the treatment aC-
corded Standing Bear was too much.
and even the stern warrior rebelled.
Campaign Mapped Out.
That night Crook came into Omaha
and had an all-night's conference with
Tibbles, then an editorial writer on a
newspaper. A campaign OF Indians
rights was mapped out, and both men
started out the next day 10 carry out
their parts.
Crook was TO delay returning the In
dams to Indian Territory until writ
OF habeas corpus could be asked for
from the United States court on the
ground that the constitution, in the
fourteenth amendment, guaranteed to
all persons born in the United States
equal protection OF the law.
Tlbbles looked out for the legal end
Of the deal. He went to John l., Web
ster, then a struggling. unknown young
lawyer, laid his case before him, and
asked him TO defend the rights OF the
| Indian.
There is no money In 1t, but there
is fame, honor and glory" said lib
bes.
Webster took the case, and asked

had lost 700 braves In the white mans

of the interior had given them, in fee
simple, full title to their reservation
and lands.
Lands Taken from Poncas.
Then MIR. Schurz was made secre-
tnry. and at the point OF the bayohet
had driven the Poncas down into In
dian Territory, deprlving them OF the
LANDS for which they held government
DEEDS. The Poncas were left months
without rations in the new country,
and more than one-third of them died
while there.
And among those who died was the
