But this side of the geat, comprehensive teform, several minor, subsidiary reforms are urgently required. Among these 1.

Thousands of such cases have occurred this Winter—oeeur every Winter. Most of those who plead for “Something to Do” know not how todo anything that others want. “I am willing to do any thing,” they say ; but they really know how to do nothing.

We cannot all live in cities, yet nearly all seem determined to do so. Millions of acres of choice land solicit cultivation; the Government gives them naw y able- bodied man may be a farmer and live on his own land, if he will; yet hundreds of thou- sands reject this, and rush into the cities, which are alieady crowded to excess ; and here they st nd hang, looking for work where work cannot be, exhansting the scanty means of relitives and friends by borrowing and beggi All these complain—and most un- reasonably—that they can find nothing to do.

At this point, Mr. Schenck offers an amendment which simply proposes to transfer the Burean to the War Department. Last summer, John Sherman offered a similar amend- ment in the Senate. The military, it seems, want it; which is, on the whole, the worst fea- ture iu the ease. The plan, however, has some backing. Theamonnt of confidence which seems o be reposedin the honesty of the War Depart- mentiscertainly consoling. When we considerthe greater amonnt of its disbursements, it is cheer- ing to reflect that those who hold up their hands in horror at the rascality of the Indian Office, recognize in it an incorruptible iutegrity which s under its conscientions wings every stray and erring waif of government, The ghost of the days when Quartermasters and Provost-Marshals reigned on earth might check this enthnsiasm, and us at a loss 1o know whether there had been a previons re- form in that department, or if the exceeding sinfuloess of the Indian Burean had reached a point where any change would Le for the better, A In truth, nothing could exceed the botch- work and corruption of our Indinn manage- ment for the past thitty years, It was abused while under the War Department before, and then it was a “ve little child.” Always growing worse.

The former steadily encroach on the latter. Humanity toward them is ®nsidered a weakuess. The public man, representing a new community, who shoold*deliberately propose to do justly by this people, could not be reélected. Ie is ex- pected to brow-beat and humbug the little sense of justice aud hamanity there may be in Congress—to get rid of the Indians in, the shortest way, and get their lands for the least money. If he does nof, in addition, con- nive with thievish contractors to swindle them ont of thiee-fourths of the miserable pittance they get, he may be considered a very honest sort of Western Congressman.

We fear not. Something must be allowed for a system that seems to have sucked in §o many prominent and frusted men into its pol- lution. The temptation to prey on a helpless race is ever the hardest experiment for govern- ment. Can we afford, therefore, to corrupt the Army? or can Congress, with propriety, say to the Secretary of War, “Iere is a system so “rotten that wo can neither endure, nor devise “a remedy for it—Take it?” Look st the experiment of British India! Was anything in the shape of government ever 80 fertile of corruption? How must it ever be with & nation of quiet men, ruled by active and money-seching adventurers? How must it be when a hapless race is turned over to the tender wercies of those who possess the nerve and power of civilization without its Churisti- anity or merey ! How terrible was the straggle of the best Indian rulets to eliminate from the East Typdian Govegyument its worst abuses! Many of them fell; all were abused by the lLiordes of merciless money-seekers. It is not a small job., It cannot be turned over to the “War Department.” It cannet be got vid of. How is jit to be met? The Senate bill for a “Board” of Inspectors is a meve ex- pedient. It may help to give light. Itis not a L remedy. In the first place, what gumrantee | have we that the “Board” will be honest, any | more than Commissioners and Superintendents? The “religions dodge™ is its worst feature, In allowing “religions bodies” to nominate a clergyman (o apublic post of 34,000 a year, we cormupt the elergy, set them at office-seeking, and are almost sure to get the greatest money- secker in the diocese or synod. To permit the War Department to have the management of the wild Indians of the Plains —of those who are not upon reserves and | among whom no experiments of civilization are being tried—might do. To quarter.a few hund- red of our common soldiers among a tribe of Indians on a reserve to “civilize them,” wonld be to demoralizb &ldief and people. The patience, the Christian forbearance and hope, the self-abnegation, needed to lift up semi-or wholly-barbavous men, need an enthusiast; and an avmy offie , or ought to be, an en- thusiast only in his profession. The mareh of Ameriean civilization to-day defands a vemedy. 'The Indians arve the it owners of ilie conntry we claim. Our boast is that we take it to make a Christian community. Let us prove it. In a few years | the whole West will be full of settlers, To-day, they push into these Western wilds with an Lenergy before which the stragelings of early settlements were like the vivalets, compared to the inroad of the mighty sea.

They can betanght to work. That is, after all, the great lesson of civilization. But it cannot be taught by pau- perizing them. Neither can they be foreed into it. They must be induced—and can be. The great blunder of our theorists and law- makers is in treating all the Indians alike. To treat the civilized Indians like the savages is an outrage and a shame. ‘The former need no not been taught to work could be taught in the beginning to be shepherds and stock-raisers, A great portion of the center of the continent will and must be pasturage.
