An appeal of tho Indian Right association asso-ciation recently Issued says that until the decision of the United Slates Supreme Su-preme Court (January 5, 1S03) In the ca.ve of Lone Wolf vs. the Secretary of the Interior, holding that Congress may abrogate ab-rogate at will an Indian, treaty, "it was the uniform policy of the Government to respect (in form, at least.) the treaties entered into with its Indian wards," Surely a greater mistake than that could not bo made in treating of that subject. On the contrary, it has been the uniform practico of Congress to vlolato vlo-lato these treaties at will. Tho history of tho country conclusively shows this, oven the decision referred to is based on the precedents showing this practice of Congress. The writer of the Indian Rights appeal could not have read the decision to which he refers.
