The grand jc9u!pe- - of trouble with the remnant of the aborigines is rank injustice on tha part of the dominant l sace. If tie not sell tbeir land ai the price offered by the whites, the superic-- r race Uke it by force. Treaties are made with the Indians and arc kept only bo long as it 8uHa the purpose of the people who have seized upon their country.

When we learn that the same rale holds good with Indians, the chief difficulty is removed. But it is said tur .wars with them have been almost oonstant. Have we been uniformly unjust? We answer unhesitate-ingly- , yes. We are aware that the masses of our people feel kindly towards them and that the legislation of Congress has always been conceived in the best intentions, but it has been erroneous ia fact or perverted in execution." "if the lands of the white man are taken civilisation justifies him in resisting the invader. Civilization does more thad this: it biands him as a coward and a slave if he submits to the wrong. Here civilization made its own contract and guaranteed the rights of the weaker party. It did not stand by the guarantee. The treaty was broken but not by the savage. If the savage resists, civilization with the ten commandments in one hand and tbe sword in the other demands his immediate extermination." "We do not contest the ready argument that civilization must not be arrested by a handful of savages. We would only be understood as doubting the purity cf that civilization which reaches its ends by fahebood and violence, and discusses blessings that spring from violated rights." "That tbe Indian goes to war is not astonishing, he is often compelled to do so. Wrongs are borne by him in silence, that never fail to drive civilized men to deeds of violence. When he is your friend be will often sacrifioe himself in your defence. Whea be is your enemy he pushes his enmity to the exoess of barbarity, This shocks tbe moral sense and .leaves him with no defenders." Speaking bf tha Sand Creek massacre, by the win es, which was the cause of the Cheyenne war, they say: "It le enough to say that it scarcely has a parallel in the records of Indian barbarity. Fleeing women holding up their bauds and praying for mercy were brutally shot down; infants were killed and ccalped in derision; men, were tortured aad mutilated in a manner that would put to shame the Ravage ingenuity of interior Africa." They recite the causes of all our Indian difficulties on the plains as d say that tbe "origin and progress of this war is repeated iu nearly every Indian war.V, . The voice of justice cries out against the present cruel nnd unnes-Barwar. It is waged in support of fraud. It will not only dye the Indian lands with the blood of soldier and savage, but crimson tbe nation with a broad blot of infamy. The Sioux may go down before the might of the army; the crime of stealing the land, which might have been bought of them, may be sucsessful; and the yellow god, which men worship, may smile upon tho labors of its devotees; but the anger of the Great Father of the whale race will rest upon the nation for its and tbe penalty must be for its murderous rapacity. paid ' Treat the Indians as human beings, a degraded, brutal, barbarous type of the race if you will; commit no fraud upon them; protect them in their rights; make them that there is some honor in the white people; and then," should it be necessary to chastise them, make the punishment worthy of the offence, and instead of sending a few handfuls of soldiers to feel after and skirmish around them, " burl upon them a sufficient force to make them feel that the Government is not only willing to treat them fairly, but to smite them with a. force that is irresistible, bod against which it is useless to contend. This is the true and proper "Indian policy." y blood-guiltines- s, ' s ; On Saturday evening, Aocidest.
