THE ANSWER.

| CO0tlnucO from ISL 1dSc.)
Bureau a detailed statement Of the
particular matters PERTAINING to
their tribal affairs that pecessita ted
the members coming to Washing
ton and remaining during the
present session of Congress-"
The legislative committee sui
mltted very detailed statement,
and convincing one.
In requesting a statement the
Bureau has departed from the old
ways of forbidding without con-
sideration or courtesy, departure
for Washington by delegation of
indians The old way was in effect,
like the utterance of the harsh
words, Don't you dare leave the
reservation and come to Washing
ton" ''The world do move" in
spite of the Brother Jasper like
theory of the Gxity of things.
Progress has been made in re-
gard to Indian movements, and
made so far as the Minnesota Chip
pewas are concerned through the
organization effected by the crea-
ton of General Cvnncil.
This Council has wrung from the
Bureau a recognition that it is q
body that must be dealt with
courteously. We do not believe it
has yielded to circumstances graci
ously, it has simply followed.
though unwill,ng'y, the recogni-
ton Congress has always given the
| Council, of the right to be heard
upon m alters pertaining to their
tribal affairs.
Recognition by the Indian office
has been attained, but it has come
not without struggle on the part
of the Chippewas of Minnesota.
The Indian office has in the past
fought tooth and nail against
anything and everything the Chip
pewas have sought to 10 indepcnd-
emily.
Heretofore the Office has some
times called a delegation to Wash
ington for reasons of its own, and
agents or superintendent have
selected the 5ubservent tools, but
now q different process seems t.
be in the making. No forbidding
appears and the most that is asked
is, please tell us why you camel
Now a-days a delegation may
come without the permission of
the Office, 90 to the Indian COM
mittee rooms of Congress and
state their errand without the
escort of some Sub" from the
Indian office.
Complete victory is not vet
gained, for always the Indian Office
will be more or less an enemy, but
the Indian is we'll ahead consider
ing what his lot has been in the
past.
A word as to the statement of
the Legislative committee. IL is
volumiDous, precise and convincing
however the Indian office may
regard it. 1t is a clear statement
Of the acts legal and illegal in
VOWED in the matters pertaining to
the tribe.
We wish to mention especially
Section ~ of the Statement. Here
in Section of the Act of January
ii, 1889 il mentioned and from
this it is shown that new born
children are being denied lawful
rights.
The statement sustains the
charge THE ToMAHAwK has been
constantly making against the. In
dian office.
The Office has encouraged and
aided young men and women to
leave the reservation in search Of
honorable, profitable and congenial
employment, and then has denied
to their children born off the res
ervation the right of enrolment
and thus to participation of annui-
| ties and To final distribution.

We are not at all convinced that
the drastic fuel order of DR.. Garfield
was done in the best way to reach
the end desired and we are yet oil
the opinion that the operation oil
the order will leave many sore spots.
But something was necessary to be
done. and since the order is to stand
az war measure despite the thou
sands of protests. there is nothing
to do but obey the behests of the
government and make the best of it.
And let US hope that the unity oil
the people, so essential to the sue
cess of the administration in the
present war crisis, will not be Sc
riously disturbed by the losses and
inconvenience caused by the clos

to improve the acute condition
