Order Issued by Carl Schr While Secretary of the Interior
Brought Long Standing Trouble to Crisis
SPLENDID GRAFTON MADE BY INDIAN CHIEF
EoQunce Standing His Own and His Peoples Rights
of Crowded Nebraska Court Room
Judge DundyS Famous Decision.

Omaha.-The late Carl Schurz is best
remembered in Omaha as the cause OF
the American Indians being admitted
to full 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 a cru
Rade 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 as white man ii 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 populist ticket; Gen.
Crook, John l.. Webster, Judge Dundy,
ard a score of other men prominent in
the west.
Previous to the fight spoken of here
every Indian in the United States was
subject to the orders of the secretary
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 a pitiful procession
wended it's slow way northward from
Indian territory, bound for the prairies
OF Nebraska. There We're so Indians
on foot and one old wagon, drawn by
two wornout horses. In the wagon
was the dead body of a 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, 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
-cieDt burying grounds of the tribe
They had started on the long trip, all
though permission to leave the reser-
walton in Indian Territory, on which
they had been settled against their
will, had been refused.
Formerly the Poncas lived in north

me case came to trial. 1t was the
most notable trial ever brought in the
west, and, in fact, the scope was as
wide as any ever tried in the United
States, for by its decision 10000 peo-
pie were made citizens.
Thomas II. Tibbles attended eyerv
session of that court In his own
words he describes it this way:
The courtroom was crowded with
fashionably dressed women, and the
clergy, which had been greatly stirred
by the incident; was there in force.

the hand and my wife follows after me.
Our hands and our feet are torn by
sharp rocks and our trail is marked by
ovr blood. At last | see a rift in the
rocks. A little way beyond there are
green prairies. The swift running wa
ter, the Niobrara, pours down between

THE old chief became silent again.
ana, after an appreciable pause, he
turned toward the 'sudge with such a
look of pathos and suffering on his
face that none who saw it will forget,
and said:
But in the center of the path there
stands man. Behind him | see SOL
diers in number like the leaves of the
trees II that man gives me permis-
sion may pass on to life and liberty.

carefully prepared, and consumed 16
hours in the delivering, occupying the
attention of the court for two days. On
the third day Mr.. Webster spoke for
six hours. And during all the pro-
ccedlngs the courtroom was packed
with the beauty and culture of the
city.
Towards the close of the trial the
situation became tense. AS the wrongs
inflicted on the Indians were described
| by the attorneys indignation was often
at white heat, and the judge made no
attempt at suppressing the applause
which broke out from time to time.
For the department Mr.. Lambert
son made a short address, but was lis
tened to in silence.
1T was late in the afternoon when
the trial drew TO close. The excite
lnent had been increasing, but il
reached a height not before felt when
Judge Dundy announced that Chief
Standing Bear would be allowed to
make a speech in his own behalf
mot one in that audience besides
the army officers and Mr.. Tibb.es had
ever heard an Grafton by an Indian
chief. All of them had read of the elo
quence of Red Jacket and Logan, and
they sat there wondering whether the
mild-looking old man, with the lines of
suffering and sorrow on his furrowed
brow and cheek, dressed in the full
robeG of an Indian chief, could make
a speech at all.
1T happened that there was a good
interpreter present-the son of Father
Hamilton, a well-known missionary.
Standing Bears Address.
Standing Bear arose. Half-facing
the audience he held out his right hand
ard stood motionless SO long that the
stiffness of death which had settled
down on the audience became almost
rnbearabe. At last, looking up at the
judge, he said
THAT hand is not the color of
yours, but if I prick it, the blood will
flow and | shall feel pain. The blood
ig OF the same color as yours. God
made me, and | am man. | never
committed a'crime. If l had, l would
not stand here to make defense. l
would suffer the punishment and make
no complaint
Still standing, half-facing the audi
ence, he looked past the judge out of a
window as if gazing upon something
far in the distance, and continued:
81 seem to be standing on the high
bank of a great river, with my wife
and little girl by my side. l cannot
cross the river, and impossible cliffs
arise behind me. | hear the noise of
great waters; | look and see a flood
cunning. The waters rise to our feet
and then to our knees. My little girl
stretches her hands toward me and
says, Save mel"
- stand where no member of my
race ever stood before. There is no
tradition to guide me. The chiefs who
preceded me knew nothing of the cir
cumstances that surround me. | hear
only my little girl say, Save mel"
Reached Heights of Tloquence.
In despair | look toward the cliffs
behind me, and | seem to see a dim
trail that may lead to a way of life
But no Indian ever passed over that
trail. 1t looks to be impossible. |

WHAT WOULD A NAN DO
WITH THESE BILLS TO PAY

The outlay of the average Canon
City woman for society expenses some
times causes the lord Of the house to
paw earth when the bills come in. But
reslly now, what would the said lord
do II he lived In New York. Here Is
4 case cited in eastern newspapers:
Mrs. Burke Roche and her father,
Frank Work, of New York, have patch
cd mp their recent quarrel over money
matters, which was one of the SEN
sational incidents among the 400"
Mrs. Burke Roche spends sum Of
$376 a day, or over 100000 year.
and considers 1t a proper allowance
for q woman in her position. Her
yearly expenses were: Stable and
horse show, $4,000; losses at bridge
whist, $4,000; gowns for every occa-
sion. 10000; balls and bauquets, $16.-
600; automobile expenses, $4,000;
furs and jewels, $4,000; incidentals.
SIC. 900. Her father had been in the
habit OF allowing her $4,000 monthly
for expenses, but she had overdrawn
her account in the round sum Of $40.-
600. and this made the old man angry,
and when he demonstrated with her
for her extravaganza she left his
house. Her return seems to imply
that Mr. Work agrees with her that
an allowance Of 500, 900 a year is me-
cessary to cover her yearly expendi-
tures
