Our Indians.

The old order of things is changing very rapidly in the North-West, and giving place to the new and the better. But as in King Arthur’s day so in ours, those who have lived under the old order are mostly not able to conform to the new order of things. The change bewilders, perplexes and upsets them, and they fight of course vainly against lit, and so, generally die in the contest. | Under the Hudson Bay Company’s rule, jour Indians in the Forth-West were con-

tented, and fully as happy as the average human being. Being a trading, not a = onizing corporation, the Hudson Bay Com-

‘| pany’s best policy was, of course, to disconr-

age settlement and agriculture, and encour- age the nomadic habits of the Indians, who, ‘indeed, had a few higher aspirations. Now and again a faithful missionary would strive to convince them that the best mode of liv- ing, at any rate for their children, in view of the future, was not that of hunting and fishing and dwelling in small wigwams. <A little was done, no doubt, through such means, but very little, and now the Indians will be foreed to face the then future, which has now become the present, and. live if they can or die if they must under new civ- cumstances. It has been the habit of Canadian writers to compare the pacitie and kindly relations of our Indians with the Government and the white people, with the perpetually conflicting relations of their United States brethren with the Govern- ment and the people of that Republic. The

greatly in favor of Canada, and justly so, but not to the extent sometimes claimed. In the United States civilization has ad- vanced much more rapidly than in Canada, and the consequence is that the Indians have been crowded to the West by the white settlers much move rapidly than they were prepared to ge. There was hardly suflicient time to treat for the lands which the Indians not unreasonably re- garded as their birthright, before the settlers entered in and possessed it, and so treaties were always more or less coercive typon the Indians, who retired with wound- ed feelings, and in most cases not without conflict. In later times, thongh,—and these we should keep» most clearly in view, for from these we can gather the lessons which will now be useful te ms—there was much less'exers’ for the tre ment which intensified the bitter feelinys which the In- which has resulted in perpetual warfare. The treaties made between the Indians and the United States Government during the last forty years, have been :mostly just enough, and sometimes even generous, to- ward the Indian from a.whiteman’s stand- point. Reservations, net always the most suitable, perhaps, but still large enough, were set apart fer them, and they were promised yearly annuities and supplies of food and clothing, and implements both for

| hunting and agriculture, which altogetlier

were caleulated to render them -more com- fortable on limited grounds than they could possibly be though fhunting over all the grounds which they claimed as theirs. But these treaties were never fuiiy observed or preserved by the Government, or rather by the people whom the Government repre- sented in these treaties. ‘The people of the United States who come in contact with the Indians, in accordance with their peculiar view of freedom, regard the Government as a restricting power to’ be escaped from if possible altogether, and, at any rate, whose behests are not worthy of consideration if not thoroughly enforced. Thus as the best of the lands secured by treaty from the In- dians was taken up, the colonists disvegard- ed the treaties, and squatted upon the reservations. The Indians appealed to the Government but the Government in few cases righted them, perhaps because the difliculties in the way of doing so were almost insurmountable, ard so the Indians, despairing of justice from Washington, cid themseltes justice by foreibly: expelling the intruders. This has always led to bloodshed on bothi. ‘sides,

part of the colonists by ejecting the Indians from their reservation, and forcing them to occupy another at a distance fer the time being, from the danger of intrusion. The new reservation was only reserved to the Indian mntil the tide of emigration flowed up to'the new border, when the old svenes with the old results followed. “Their supplies and annuities were trusted to cor- rupt agents of the Government for distribu- tion, and, as a check was impossible, the Indians were’ cheated, it is calculated, out of about two-thirds of the supplies for the purchase of which Congress faithfully votes an ample sim every year. Thus, through fraud and misunderstanding, the Indians are foreed into war for a subsistence, often murdering helpless and innocent farmers settled near them out of hate to the race which has so misused them. The Indians have of course in the warfare always suf- fered defeat finally, though their struggles have been heroic. One of the most hereic of these tribes, tired of warfare, retreated across the border into British territory, and have been as peaceful and well in- clined towards the whites as our own In- dians. But ‘their visit has doubtless done much to render necessary an early solution of our own Indian problem, which was at any rate growing more pressing with the rapid opening up of the North-West through settlement, and the location and

troubles, appear ominous. Surveyors staking out lands for settlements ‘aroused the ‘suspicion of the Indians, and they forcibly opposed them and for a time stopped the work. An attem)t was made at one police station to rob the Government stores, and telegraphic communication with Batuleford was cut off ‘for some days, and it was said that a raid ‘was to he made upon Governor Laird’s residence. As a fact, however, nothing serious has as yet occurred, but there can be no doubt that there are indieations of future trouble if the’ Indians are not dealt with generously and the treaties sacredly preserved. Sitting Bull and his large band of Indians have unintentionally added to our troubles, and they heave thinned out the buffalo and other game, upon which our own Indians relied to a great extent for their living. Now they have had to move south of the line again, and are coming in contact with the United States troops. It is said that Sitting Bull is peaceably incimed, but with such a fire-eater as General Miles in command of the troops sent to watch the Indians, all hope of peace being pre- served must be abandoned unless Sitting Ball moves back across theborder. If he comes back again he cannot be allowed to starve, andat all events our own Indians will have to be looked after. Thus our Indian problem comes up for solution, and our whole future treatment of the Indian’s de- pends greatly upon the manner in which the present settlement is made and carried out. The Prince and the Princess Beatrice.

The Prince had an affair of the heart, and with a very illustrious lady, the Princess Beatrice of England. That is to say— to go no further than my information—he had formed a strong affection for the Princess, which was to some extent reciprocated. There was an exchange of rings between the young people,and an exchange of views between the elder people, and the Queen, without saying. niuch as to her own personal tastes, expressed a fear that Parliament would not look with favor on such a match One secret motive of the Prince’s journey was, therefore, to conquer this difficulty by winning popularity with the English people. 1 do not pretend to know anything of the extent to which the Princess was pledged either in heart or word. Bnt you will observe that she ac- companied her mother to Chiselliurst.— London Cor. of N. Y. World.
