THE FUTURE INDIAN POLICY. Is the government on the point of inaugurating a new method of dealing with the Indians ? The supreme court has declared that congress has the right to take their lands, without their consent on any terms it sees fit. How far will this privilege affect the future of the Indians ? The making of treaties with the Indians has always been more or less of a farce. The doctored " the facts in white men have securing the consent of the red man, and then altered the treaties as suited them after consent was obtained ; while those who spoke for a tribe were hot necessarily authorized to do so. This was less true twenty and thirty years ago, as those native children of the soil were strong enough to make it dangerous to tamper with them seriously. Irregularities were paid for dearly by Indian wars. Now, the danger from warfare is slight, and the white man's government is careless how it secures or keeps its treaties. In 1892 a treaty was made with Oklahoma Indians which the Indians themselves repudiated as not properly indorsed and altered radically after such sanction as was given it. In 1902 a test of the treaty led to a decision by the supreme court in which the bars are let . 4 t 1 '; I ? t ? I . I i :i & X i GRAND Novelty Pointers : f A MISAPPREHENSION. The Philadelphia Press, which is usually careful about its statements, unaccountably referred to the Japanese not long ago as a people recently sprung from barbarism, and the Washington Times thinks it was about time that this misapprehension should disap44 While the civilization of the Japanese pear. is unlike our own, and many of their traditions and customs are the reverse of ours, they are in no sense barbarians. They had a civilization of great complexity and beauty in an age when the forefathers of every European were skipping about the forests clad in skins and fighting with primitive weapons. 44 Japanese civilization as it exists at the present day is essentially that of old Japan, in spirit and tradition, though the changes which have taken place in its outward form are so great as to seem a transformation to the careless eye of the traveler. The fact that the Japanese have, within a few years, learned to use modern appliances of civilization, publish newspapers, run railway trains, and, as their latest exploits show, manage modern war engines with great ease and effectiveness, does not argue a radical chance in their natures. It is simply a corollary of the marvelous and complex development which occupied centuries upon centuries, and which has made Japanese art the wonder of the world. The old Japanese civilization, unlike some of the old civilizations of Europe, did not mean clumsiness and lack of training, stupidity, ignorance, on the part of the masses of the people. It meant deftness of hand and skill of workmanship, quilc-nes- s of thought, the transmission of a mass'of the maintenancejof Essentially poetic folk-lora most complicated social system.
