On the 5th of May the party visited Carlisle Fort or Barracks, one of

the ancient military establishments of the Republic, where in the old

times, speaking in an American sense, a considerable force was usually

concentrated to keep watch and ward over the western frontiers, now

extended thousands of miles away to the Pacific. The Barrack, which

is a large quadrangle capable of containing a couple of regiments, is

appropriated by the Government to this great experiment, the systematic

education of the Indians of both sexes, whose families send them to

school for the purpose of learning English and useful arts, mechanical

and other, which may be of advantage to their people. It was, perhaps,

one of the most interesting of the many little excursions which the

Duke of Sutherland and his friends made in the States, and as it was

the only one of the schools which we had an opportunity of seeing I

shall proceed to give a little account of what we witnessed. In the

first place let me express the sense which every one of us entertained

of the real sterling qualities of Captain Pratt who is in charge of

the school, and of the devotion and solicitude for their charges of

those ladies employed in the training establishment. It may be asked

how casual visitors could judge of these things? The discipline,

order, progress, and perfect method visible in every room, and the

intelligence and good understanding between the teachers and the pupils

which could be perceived throughout the establishment, were adequate

proofs, I think, that the praise is well deserved. At the time of our

visit there were something under three hundred pupils, of whom perhaps

two hundred were boys, and these were engaged in their class-rooms,

each section of Indians being arranged according to nationality, if

such a term can be used. But, indeed, the tribes of Indians differed

from each other in personal appearance far more than do the races

which inhabit the European continent. It is true they nearly all have

straight wire-like black hair and eyes set deeply and rather obliquely

in faces which are frequently of the Mongol type. But there is great

diversity in the shape of the head, the angle of the jaw, the formation

of the mouth and nose, the colour (when not tainted or "improved" by

an admixture of European blood, whether Mexican or American or other)

being pretty uniform, a rich bronze, with something of a copper hue,

predominating in the young people. The boys were dressed in a plain

neat uniform of greyish-blue, military tunics and trousers, well shod

and comfortably equipped in all respects. The girls, amongst whom,

perhaps, taste for eccentric finery was not unobservable, wore dresses

less uniform in appearance, generally neat and always clean; but

their foot gear was rather eccentric. The rooms, spacious barrack-like

apartments, well ventilated, were appropriated to the classes according

to age and progress, the boys being separated from the girls. The walls

were hung with maps and furnished with educational coloured prints, and

boards for arithmetical exercises were in each apartment. The desks and

stools were such as would be seen in an ordinary school, and if one had

not looked at the faces of the pupils and been struck by some of the

strange characters on the walls he would have thought himself in the

middle of some ordinary school; save, perhaps, that his ear would have

missed the curious humming noise which marks the industry of idleness

or of legitimate work in similar establishments in Europe. But here

were all these young savages, poring over their books or boring with

their pens, looking up at the visitors scarcely with curiosity and

applying themselves again to their work, or answering questions put

to them with the composure which must be a portion of the Red Man's

nature.

I cannot recollect how many tribes there were represented at the

Carlisle school; but I was struck by the race-distinctions which could

be observed when Captain Pratt, standing on a raised platform, called

out the names of each tribe. The little batches, in some instances

only one or two, stood up briskly and looked somewhat proudly about,

as much as to say, "We are Sioux (or Apaches, or Ponchas, or Creeks),

not like these other fellows." And the young ladies were, if one might

judge from their expression, quite as proud of their own people as the

boys. But the names these poor children receive are ludicrous. Not

content with calling them by English names, or American, singularly

misapplied, very often, as a name may be, their own Indian nomenclature

is translated into English, so that we heard reading and reciting

beside "Luke Phillips" and "Almarine McKillip" (a Scotch Creek)

"Maggie Stands-looking" and "Reuben Quick-bear." There was something

of sarcasm, I think, in the address of a Creek boy to the visitors. He

said: "The Indian boys had come here to learn something about the use

of the bow and hunting. Their people believed that if boys grew up to

manhood without learning they would be of no use; therefore they had

sent the boys here to get education." Then, after some moral if trite

reflections, the lad said: "You must understand that nearly everything

that was made was made both for the present and the future. This

barracks was not built for Indians, as I do not think the men who built

it ever thought that it would be an Indian school; but things were made

to do good both in the present and in the future." And then quoth he,

looking at his white friends straight in the face: "The education which

we are getting here is not like our own land, but it is something that

cannot be stolen nor bought from us." And the white man did not turn

red at the words! I do not pretend to judge of the actual progress made

in learning, but the very intelligent self-possessed teachers reported

uniformly that they were satisfied. The most useful education, perhaps,

which these Indians receive is in practical mechanics, and a visit to

the workshops attached to the barracks was amply repaid by the sight

of these industrious young fellows hammering and leathering away in

the various departments. They have actually completed waggons of a most

satisfactory construction, complete in all their parts, so much so that

orders have been received for as many as can be supplied for the use

of Agencies. They make and repair their own shoes. They have sent out

a hundred and twenty double sets of harness. They make coffee-boilers,

cups, pans, pails, and all the articles known to the tin-smith; and the

girls are taught to hem and sew and knit in the English fashion; but it

must have been not many a long year before the white man landed, when

the ancestors of these Indian maidens exercised the same mystery with

fine sinew and skin in the wonderful work of which specimens are handed

down to us to-day. On one point alone, perhaps, there was something to

regret; the health of the children was not all that could be desired.

Well clad, regularly fed, I presume on wholesome food, cleanly lodged

in well-ventilated rooms, these wild children of the plains scarcely

came up to the expectations one would form of them in the matter of

chest-measurement; and although many were remarkable for fine physical

development, Captain Pratt confessed that their sanitary condition was

not everything that could be desired, and that losses from consumption

and other causes were rather serious. But they have plenty of out-door

exercise. They have games in which they rejoice. They drill and

march to the sound of their own band, a very good brass band of eight

performers, each of a different tribe, who played "Hail Columbia!"

and the "Star-Spangled Banner," and the like, with energy and zest;

nay, with harmonious concurrence. When we went out into the large open

square, there appeared before us a wonderful being in feathers, waving

plumes, wampum and all the leathern panoply and peltry adornments of

an Indian, painted, and armed with bow and arrow, probably such an one

as Captain John Smith may have seen as he went exploring the woods

of Virginia on his way to the sacrifice from which he was saved by

Pocahontas. A target was erected at a distance of a hundred yards or

so, and had I been in the centre of it, I should have been perfectly

safe from the arrows which the Indian warrior discharged at it. But

we were told that with a good bow a strong-armed Indian will drive an

arrow right through a buffalo, and in that case I would suppose that

the buffalo was very near to him indeed.

Of course it is but natural to find very varying degrees of

intelligence amongst the pupils, and the rate of progress was by no

means uniform, but a committee of examination which recently visited

the school declared that the manifestations of advancement in the

rudiments of English education were to them simply surprising. It was

with admiration bordering on amazement they observed the facility and

accuracy with which the children passed through the various exercises,

in reading, geography, arithmetic, and writing, of the schoolroom;

the accurate training and the amount of knowledge displayed were, they

reported, the fullest proof not only of skilful teaching, but of great

aptitude and diligence on the part of the children. Considering the

brief period during which the school had been in operation, and the

fact that the children entered it in a wholly untutored condition,

the evidence was conclusive of the capability of culture. They go on

to say: "We are fully persuaded that improvement equal to that which

we have witnessed in the case of these children of the plains, if

made in equal time by American children, would be regarded as quite

unusual. And when the difficulty of communication consequent upon the

diversities of language is taken into account we can but feel that the

results of which we have been the witnesses to-day justify our judgment

of them as amazing."

One of the most interesting features connected with the attempts

to educate the Indians at Carlisle is the 'School News,' a little

publication which, as I understand, is conducted by Indian pupils

taught in the establishment, edited by Samuel Townsend, a Pawnee Indian

boy. It is published once a month, and costs 25 cents or 1_s._ per

year. It takes as its motto the lines:

"A pebble cast into the sea is felt from shore to shore,

A thought from the mind set free will echo on for ever more."

Perhaps neither the metre nor the actual statement commend themselves

to acceptance, but the matter of the little journal is full of

interest. In the first place the names of the contributors afford

full matter for meditation. Perhaps it is one of the steps which

must be taken to civilise these poor Indians that their names should

undergo a strange and, to me, unmeaning metamorphose. There seems no

reason whatever why the Indian names should not be retained, or if

there is any reason for changing them, at least there might be some

discrimination and good taste exercised in the adoption of English

Christian names.

The first number of the 'School News,' which I have before me, contains

as an article: "What Michael Burns, an Apache boy, thinks on the Indian

Question." He says, "I cannot help myself, having much feeling for my

people, what has been said about them, and the efforts making to give

us the same privileges as the people of the United States. And it is

said how we have been treated by the bad white man, for the last ten

or fifteen years, decreasing our number. But that kind for treatment

for my nation will soon stop." The poor boy goes on to say: "There is

no doubt that we are in fault. We had the opinion that we could not

get beaten by any other nation. Now we know for ourselves that we will

have to change.... But how does the white man know which way is the

best to do. Was he born that way? No! Education gives him the light

of knowledge." Then a boy named Marcus Poko writes to his father: "I

want you to try hard and leave the Comanche way, and to find the white

man's way." In the leading article, written, I presume, by Samuel

Townsend, it is said: "Indian ways will never be good any more, it

is all passed, gone away, and the other way is coming up to take the

place. We shall all be glad when we all get into the civilised way of

living, then the Indians will not make so much trouble for the American

people. Some people say 'let the Indians get out of the way. There

is no use in trying to advance them, kill them all they are like the

wild animals deaf and dumb, they never will learn anything. We have

already paid so much money for them they have never become civilised

yet.' But all good people say, 'Oh, yes, give them an education and

plenty of opportunities, and send more teachers among them so they may

come up beside us and live as brothers and live in peace.'" There is a

little paragraph as to language. "There are a great many words in the

English," says the writer, "that the Indians have no word for, so the

white people who make the Indian books have to make new Indian words.

So the Indians have to learn the new Indian words. Now we don't know

much about it, but we believe the Indians can all learn to speak the

same as the whites." Then there is a column about the school news:

"Lizzie McRae, a Creek girl, made a very good corn bread the other

day. We had some of it. It was right good I tell you." "Robert American

Horse is a steady boy. He works in the blacksmith shop very well, and

Mr. Harris never has to tell him but once how to do something." "One

of the teachers had artificial violets on her belt. A Gros Ventre boy

saw them, but did not know what they were, so he got up from his desk

and went close to the teacher. He looked at it and then smelt it. When

he smelt it he said, 'Pooh! rags!'" "Boys, some time ago Captain Pratt

gave us advice about throwing stones at birds. Some of the boys who

understand most English did not listen. We want the birds to come and

stay with us and sing for us, too. Let us remember about this, and

not let Captain Pratt have to say it again." "Last Sunday some of the

large girls had a prayer-meeting in the yard at the back of the girls'

quarters. Nobody told them to do it, but they thought it would be a

good thing." There is a long letter from Lizzie Walton, a Pawnee girl

of thirteen years old, describing a trip to Philadelphia, and I believe

there are very few girls of thirteen years of age in any school who

could write more amusingly or better. The account of a magic lantern by

Ada Bent, a Cheyenne girl, closes the number.

Letters from the children who are sent out to the farmers are published

in this little periodical, and give a very pleasing picture of the

lives and aptitudes of these Indians. Virginia, of Kiowar, writes from

a farm, asking one of the teachers to pardon her for not having done so

before; but "I have not much time," she says, "I am very busy set the

table and wash dishes make my bed and make pies and cakes and try to

make bread too, and the other things beside.... Sometime I make fire

and bring in wood. Mrs. Borton is very kind lady she has two children

one girl and boy. I love these little children very much." "My dear

Miss H----, I am not bad a girl. I help now a great deal. I pray for

you almost every night, also when I wake up in the morning. I like to

pray very much because I make myself good." And so on in a pleasant

little gossiping way, frequently in very difficult language. There is

an article in the 'School News' of July upon the shooting of President

Garfield: "The man who shot him," says the writer, "we suppose, thought

he would please some of the people in the United States. He thought he

was very smart. If President were to die how would every white man,

black man and the Indian feel? It was not in war when the President

was shot, for our country don't have war any more, but in peace....

We all feel sorry because the President is suffering. We hope he

will soon recover." It is stated that about a hundred boys and girls

have gone out to work on the farms, and there are some trite remarks

about the advantages of hard work as opposed to the disadvantages of

laziness. "The farmers up country say the Indian boys can bind wheat

first-rate." "Nelly Cook, Sioux, made 36 sheets in one day last week.

Nellie Cary, Apache, made 32, and Ella Moore, Creek, made 30. Boys, do

you think those girls are lazy?" The 'School News' has a reporter, it

would appear, for the paper says that "Our reporter took a walk round

in the shops to see what the boys were doing. In all the shops every

boy was busy. In the carpenter shop there were Jock (Arapahoe), Ralph

(Sioux), Elwood (Iowa), and Joe Gun (Ponca) sawing out window and door

frames. Oscar (Cheyenne) and Michael Burns (Apache) were busy carving

balcony posts; and Lester (Arapahoe) was outside chiselling a beam.

These things are all for our new hospital.... Jesse (Arapahoe) and

Little Elk (Cheyenne) were busy in the gymnasium. The waggons which

Robert American Horse has finished painting are to be sent to Oregon

and Washington Territories." It is sometimes difficult to make out

the meaning of the little prattle which these small people commit to

the uncertain medium of the English tongue; but, on the whole, it is

a most interesting and curious study. In one respect these children

of the forest possess that which civilisation seems rather to dwarf

amongst men of the highest culture and imagination--a certain stately

eloquence and nobility of expression, in which natural images abound,

and allegory and metaphor consort together in excellent and tasteful

union. In a paper called 'Eadle Keatah Toh,' which seems to have been

the precursor of the 'School News,' there is an interesting report

from the Committee on Indian Affairs to the House of Representatives,

submitted by Mr. Pound. The motto of the paper is "God helps those

who help themselves"; but surely it might be better put that God will

help those who seek to do good to the unfortunate Indians, who in

contact with civilisation are rendered utterly helpless, and who in

their attempts to help themselves according to the manner of the race

must meet with nothing but extinction. From time to time there are

notices of deaths. One would like to know who wrote the account of the

"death of John Renville, son of Gabriel Renville, Chief of the Sisseton

Sioux." After noticing the circumstances under which he contracted his

fatal illness--fever, produced by drinking water at a spring on a hot

day on a march to the camp in Perry County, the writer says:--"'Death

loves a shining mark,' the poet sang long ago; and in the passing away

of John Renville from our school we sadly say, how truthfully the poet

sang.... Through all the days of his sickness his large sorrowful eyes

had a far-away wondering look, no pain marred the beauty of his brow,

and his voice as he addressed his sister, who tenderly watched over

him, was like the trumpet warbling of some mournful bird. Our hearts

follow the father in deep sympathy as he bears back the body of his

beautiful boy to the land of the Dakotas for burial."

The Indian chiefs have a right, which they often exercise, of visiting

these schools as a Board; and there is an account in the Carlisle paper

of the visit of Spotted Tail, Iron Wing, White Thunder, Black Crow,

and Louis Robideau from the Rosebud Agency; Red Cloud, American Horse,

Red Dog, Red Shirt, Little Wound, and Two Strike from the Pine Ridge

Agency; Like the Bear and Medicine Bull from the Lower Brule Agency;

Son of the Star, Poor Wolf, Peter Beauchamp, and John Smith from Fort

Berthold; Two Bears, John Big Head, Grass, Thunder Hawk, and Louis

Primeau from Standing Rock; Charger and Bull Eagle from Cheyenne River;

Brother to All and James Broadhead from Crow Creek; Strike the Ree

and Jumping Thunder from Yankton; Robert Hakewashte and Eli Abraham

from Santee Agency; Mr. Tackett and his wife and daughter; a daughter

of Spotted Tail, and others. The meeting of the children with their

parents is described as being most touching; and sometimes the pupils

were not recognised, so greatly had they altered. As the chiefs seemed

unwilling to speak when called upon to do so, there was silence for a

time till a little girl, who had been about a year and a half at the

school, expressed her desire to speak in so earnest a way that General

Marshall permitted her to do so; and so, speaking in her own dialect,

her words were translated into English and into Sioux. She declared

that she liked the white man's ways and the white man's language.

Indian words, she said, were down on the ground, but the white man's

language was in his head. The chiefs, who listened attentively, seemed

to understand this curious figure of speech, and nodded their approval.

And then she enlarged upon the advantage of what she learned, and

implored the chiefs to send their children to the school, where she

says she is going to try to be God's daughter. Her words seemed to

kindle the fire within the chieftains' breasts, for Like the Bear, a

Sioux, and father of one of the boys at Hampton School, came forward

and addressed the meeting. "There is no greater power in the world,"

said he, "than the Great Spirit, and we must listen to Him and do

what He wants us to do. When the men who were sent out by the Great

Father the President asked for my children I gave them up. I see you

are making brains for my children, and you are making eyes for them so

that they can see. That is what I thank the Great Spirit for, and it is

that which will make me strong." Then Robert Hakewashte, a chief from

the Santee Agency, spoke, and said that he wanted schools like that

which he saw here on his own reservation, and Spotted Tail wished for

the same thing. "Since I have learned the words of God," he says, "it

makes no difference to me what is the colour of a man's skin; if he

walks like a man it is the same. I do not believe God likes the white

colour only. God likes red and white, for He made them all." And then

the flood of eloquence was loosened, and an old chief of the Sioux,

nearly blind, verging on ninety years of age, who had come to see his

grandson, said: "I grew up a red man, and the things I see here I never

had a chance to see before. I have heard about the white man's church

and his religion, and I have heard about the holy house. I have looked

into them, and I am very much pleased. But there is only one Great

Spirit we all can worship, and the red men all over the country are

hearing about it. You are teaching the children to worship the Great

Spirit. That is a great thing, and I like it. But you have here two

sons of one father. One is sick. I want you to keep the other." And so

he carried him away.

The condition of the Red Man who is allowed to exist under the banner

of the Republic is a subject which has attracted the attention of the

best and wisest men in the United States. The treatment of the Indians

is a question of future policy. It is one which must exercise a very

deep and abiding influence on the whole history of an ancient and

interesting people. But it is exceedingly difficult to put in a short

compass its most salient points before those who are unacquainted with

the nature of the problems to be solved. Comparisons are odious, above

all places, in America, when they are not to the advantage of the Great

Republic, and I shall not draw any between the state of the Indian

tribes in Canada and in the States. But it may be fairly admitted that

the Indian Question in Canada is divested of many of the difficulties

which surround it south of the lakes. The people of Canada have far

more land than they know what to do with. They are a sparse population.

They are not impelled to fierce adventures by mining "booms," and they

are altogether less progressive than their American brethren. Shall we

say that they are more charitable, more humane, less greedy of other

men's goods? I do not say so. But at all events it is perfectly true

that the Red Man, although he is dying out under the influence of

whiskey and other influences which need not be particularised, in his

native land, lives in comparative peace and comfort under the British

flag in Canada. He is content with the White Mother. He pursues the

occupations dear to his race as a hunter and as a fisherman. He is a

dealer in peltries, and in such small barter as his needs require. He

is the companion of sportsmen, and he delights, free as mountain air,

to hunt on the hillside and in the prairie in winter over the vast

ranges of snowy fields which in the few short months of spring and

summer teem with flowers, and the frosty lakes which yield fish to his

spear and net. There are few or no railways through his reservations

to vex his repose, no great trains of miners with pick and rifle to

drive away the moose and the buffalo, and hand the native hunter over

to starvation. The Indian gives to the white man all he needs, and aids

him in obtaining from the wide stretch of land over which he roams all

the wealth that it can afford. Practically one part of the Dominion

is handed over to the Red Man and to the half-breeds, for there is an

Indian frontier which as yet has not been much encroached upon by any

large migration of whites. As far as I know, conflicts north of the

Saint Lawrence between Indians and whites are unknown, or have not

been heard of for very many years. South of the great lakes, in the

wonderful land over which is displayed the banner of the stars and

stripes, the fate of the Indian is very different. In the words of Mr.

Carl Schurz, himself an expert in the question, "the history of the

relations of the United States with the Red Man presents in great part

a record of broken treaties, of unjust wars and of cruel spoliation."

That is a sweeping statement, which it would be just as well for

an Englishman not to make, but coming from the mouth of an American

citizen and of a United States Minister with plenty of evidence to back

it, there can be no harm in recording my conviction of its truth. It is

but another indictment against a defect in the form of government which

Americans exalt as the most perfect of human institutions, that the

central government made treaties in good faith with the Indian tribes,

but was unable to enforce their obligations or to maintain their

integrity. There is, as all well-informed people know--well informed,

at least, in reference to American affairs--a commissioner who makes an

annual report to the Secretary of the Interior respecting the Indian

tribes in the various locations over the Union and the Territories.

The last of these reports which I have seen is that of the Acting

Commissioner Mr. Marble, addressed to the Department of the Interior

from the office of Indian Affairs at Washington in the November of

last year. The volume contains the reports of the agents in the Indian

Territory; of the schools for Indian children established in pursuance

of a wise and humane policy, and detailed statistics in relation to the

Indian settlements and reservations, the latter indeed forming by far

the largest portion of the volume of 400 pages. Before I call attention

to the condition of the Indians, and the efforts made to save them from

extinction or from a degradation worse than annihilation, I should like

to direct the attention of those who are interested in the subject

to the view which is beginning to find favour, I believe, among the

most experienced men in the States, that the system of "Reservations"

is founded on a mistake the magnitude of which is demonstrated every

day, and that the only means of saving the Indians from extinction is

their gradual absorption as educated communities in the agricultural

life of the nation, keeping them far as may be from the white man,

but making no other distinction between them and the other citizens

of the United States than such as must be found in the nature of the

Indian race and their degree of culture and civilisation--treating

them, in fact, as communities of Mennonites, Mormons, or Norwegians,

or other nationalities would be treated in the United States. When

the Reservations were first established it was considered impossible

that the migration of the whites would extend to the remote regions of

the west to which the unfortunate survivors of the people with whose

virtues and vices Cooper and other novelists have made us familiar were

gradually and often remorselessly driven. It is a plea which will be

urged in bar of judgment that the doctrine of States Rights prevented

the interference of the United States Government on behalf of the

Indian tribes who were often ruthlessly destroyed. But it will scarcely

be a plea, I think, which humanity in full court would recognise as

valid. _Homo homini lupus._ But to the Red Man as to the Black in many

cases the White Man is worse than any wolf; far more bloodthirsty and

rapacious than any tiger--a Cain of Cains. It was our own kith and kin

who, landing on the shores of the North American continent, encroaching

by degrees upon the tribes and at last encountering their hostility,

spread their sway literally by fire and sword, and rooted out the

Red Man wherever they found him established on land or by sea which

they coveted. We, whose countrymen have worked out the same policy on

the Australian continent and Van Diemen's Land, and who can only be

restrained from its pursuit in New Zealand by the strong arm of the

Home Government, can scarcely afford to take up stones to fling at our

American brethren; and it is not with any purpose of indictment or

accusation that I proceed to make a few remarks on the relations of

the United States Government with the Red Man, and the efforts which

they have been making to compensate the Indians in some measure for the

injustice and persecution dealt out for many a generation.

As I looked at the men gathered at some of the railroad stations in

the western desert and thought of the Red Men whose fate it is to

meet such representatives of civilisation and Christianity, I could

not but be filled with pity for the unfortunates and with wonder at

"the dispensation" under which they live. The faces are fine and bold

enough, bearded to the cheek or shaved in the American fashion, with

bold staring eyes, which "look square" in your own, with a general

expression "Do you want a fight?" in them--the heads to which they

belong are generally set on muscular bodies. If a gang of these men

think fit to go on to an Indian reservation--the very name is too often

a bitter mockery--who is to stop them? If the Indians try to do so and

one of the white intruders is killed the country-side rings with cries

of "vengeance for the massacre of our brethren," and all the papers are

filled with accounts of "Another Indian Outbreak."

"The average frontier-man in the States looks," as Mr. Schurz says,

"upon the Indian merely as a nuisance in his way. There are many

whom it would be difficult to convince that it is a crime to kill an

Indian." I will go further and say that there are many, I believe, who

would take great pleasure in killing an Indian whenever they could;

or as one gentleman observed to me, and I believe in his relations

with white men no more just or honourable man or more humane could be

found, "I would sooner kill an Indian than I would a skunk." When I

was in the West, there was a cry raised that the Utes were about to

wage war, and appeals appeared in the local papers for a military force

to march against them. Their leaders were accused of arrogance and of

insolence, and of murderous designs, and the general remark one heard

was, "The Utes must go." I inquired a little into the matter when I got

back, and I found that the Utes were strictly and absolutely, in their

own right, standing upon the titles, which they had derived from the

United States Government, to the lands from which they were required

to move. These lands were wanted. Other lands were pointed out to them,

to which they objected, and then they were informed that they would be

moved by force, and preparations were made to levy war against these

unfortunates, if they resisted deportation from the territory which

had been assigned to them by the Great Father. Had they been Irish

landlords, they could not have been treated worse; but in the West not

one word was raised in favour of their claims.

The first point which has to be considered is, that the Indian is

obnoxious to the very class of men with whom he is by the necessity

of things most closely brought in contact. The railway has been the

great persecutor of Red Men. It has driven away the game, it has

carried in proximity to their reservations all the enterprise charged

with whiskey, revolver, rifle, and greed, which can be furnished by

the offscourings of the world. In the Far West the miners in advance

throng into the valleys, and break the silence of the mountain-ranges

by the sound of their picks, the cattle-raisers spread out over the

plains, the ploughman settles down on the fertile land. "What," asks

the American philanthropist, and his question is echoed all over the

world by humane and good men, "what is to become of the Indian?" The

hunting-grounds are gradually being pushed farther west and north

until they are bounded by the sea, and by the eternal snow. And if by

any chance it should be found that there is gold or lead, silver or

iron, or copper, or coal in any abundance, even under these unpromising

conditions it will be sought. The buffalo is disappearing fast, faster

than the Indian himself. Deer are becoming scarcer every year. What

is to be left for the Red Man? Pastoral life and agriculture, say

the philanthropists. The substitution, however, is not so easy. The

weakness of the United States Government is the main cause why the

policy of reservations has failed. Let us take the account of it by a

United States Minister. "The Government," says Mr. Schurz, "has tried

to protect the Indians in good faith against encroachments, and has

failed. It has yielded to the pressure exercised upon it by people in

immediate contact with the Indians. When a collision between Indians

and whites once occurred, no matter who was responsible for it, our

military forces were always found on the side of the white against the

savage. How was Government to proclaim that white men should for ever

be excluded from the millions of acres covered by Indian reservations,

and that the national power would be exerted to do so?" Such an

idea the American Minister thinks would be utterly preposterous. The

rough and ready frontier-man would pick quarrels with the Indians;

the speculators would urge him on. Government could not prevent

collisions; the conflict once brought on, Government, in spite of its

good intentions and sense of justice, would find itself employing its

forces to hunt down the Indian. The old story would be repeated, as it

will be wherever, says Mr. Schurz, there is a large and valuable Indian

Reservation surrounded by white settlements, "and unjust, disgraceful

as it is, that is an inevitable result." Such being the case then,

the United States Government being powerless to see that right shall

be done, and it being at once a human and a Christian duty to avert,

if possible, the extinction of the original possessors of this grand

continent, let us see what can be done to carry out the object. Fit the

Indians, it is said, for the habits and occupations of civilised life;

give them individual possession of land as property, a fee-simple title

to the fields they cultivate, guarded by an absolute prohibition of

sale--because it has been found that whenever the Indians are exposed

to the temptation of artful traders, they will be cajoled out of the

titles they have to their land--and you will save the remnants from

utter destruction. I hope it will be so. I could not but feel a glow

of enthusiasm when I heard the Attorney-General, Mr. MacVeagh, at

Washington, speaking incidentally one day about some railway matter,

declare that he would not sanction the making of a line of railway

through Indian Territory until he was satisfied that the Indians

actually understood the conditions which had been offered to them by

the company. "I will," said Mr. MacVeagh, "send down government agents

there to ascertain that the Indians thoroughly understand what they

are doing, and that it is of their own free will and consent that the

railway passes through their territory in exchange for the money and

goods they receive for the concession." Excellent and just minister!

But, alas! I believe that ere I left the United States the whole thing

was done; the railway company had declared that they would, whether

or no, make their line, and if an Indian touched a hair of the head of

any white man, the United States Government would not be able to avert

the Divine wrath of every white man on the border from the whole of

the tribe. Well may Mr. Schurz say that the thought of exterminating a

race once the only occupants of the soil, where so many millions of our

own people have flourished, must be revolting to every American who is

not devoid of all sentiments of justice and humanity. Extermination or

civilisation is the alternative offered to the Indian. Now let us see

how it is proposed to civilise them. According to the returns in the

Report for 1880, the number of Indians in the United States, exclusive

of those in Alaska, is 256,127. Of these, 138,642 are described as

wearing citizen's dress. It will be observed that there is no estimate

given of the Indians who do not wear citizen's dress under this head.

Citizens must be sometimes very badly dressed indeed if the Indians I

saw at various stations along the line to San Francisco in shocking

bad hats and tattered clothes were to be included amongst those who

figured under this description in the report of the Commissioner. About

17,000 houses are reported as occupied. There are 224 schools, attended

by 6000 scholars for a month or more during the year, scattered over

the continent. About 34,550 Indians could read. There were 154 church

buildings and 74 missionaries. The number of children of school age was

34,541; but this was an under estimate. Of these there was only school

accommodation for 9972. The total amount expended for education during

the year by the United States Government was $249,299; by the State of

New York, $15,863; by the State of Pennsylvania, $325; by other States,

nothing; by religious societies, $46,933; by tribal funds, $7481.

22,048 Indian families were engaged in cultivating farms or small

patches of ground; 33,125 male Indians were labouring in civilised

pursuits; and 358 Indian apprentices had been pursuing trades during

the year. This census and these statistics are stated to be imperfect,

and it would require a close examination of the returns to enable an

inquirer to form any idea as to the progress made in the direction

which we are told is the alternative of destruction.

The Reservations of the various Indian tribes are scattered irregularly

over the United States; from Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota on

the north and north-west, away to the Territories on the other side

of the Rocky Mountains, down to New Mexico and Arizona, there being

none in the southern states bordering the Atlantic. But there are

Red Men of different tribes located, as the Americans would say, in

the States to the east, such as New York. The Reservations are of

irregular size and extent. Isabella, in the State of Maine, reserved

for 848 Indians, lies to the east of 86° longitude, and south of 44°

latitude. There is a considerable group of Reservations on the western

shore of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin, and in Minnesota. But the proper

Indian territory lies west of Arkansas, with the Red River on the

south, New Mexico on the west, and Kansas on the north; and in it are

concentrated the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chicasaws, Comanches, Cheyennes,

and several other tribes. The Navajo Reservation in New Mexico and

Arizona ranks perhaps next in size, extending northwards into Colorado,

where the Utes have got a large tract of land assigned to them upon

what appears now to be very doubtful or vanishing tenure. These, and

numerous reservations, which it would be tedious to enumerate, are

under the charge of agents appointed by the Government at Washington,

as to whose functions and personal character and attainments one

hears very surprising and contradictory reports. But I confess, from

a perusal of the documents which they have furnished to the head of

the Department, and which are published in the Annual Report, there

seems to me no just ground for imputing to these gentlemen want of

zeal, knowledge, interest, or intelligence. Those who detest the whole

work of saving the Red Man are very apt to impute to the Indian agents

not only corrupt practices in relation to the sale of government

stores and supplies destined for the use of those under their charge,

but illicit traffic in spirits, which is ruinous to the Red Man, and

even some participation in the acts of violence which have frequently

led to Indian troubles. It all depends upon the manner in which your

informant in the States regards the Indian Question whether the agents

are described as scoundrels whom no man could trust, or as gentlemen of

high propriety and general excellence.

The necessities which have been imposed by advancing civilisation

of providing Indians with food entail a heavy outlay upon the United

States Government, which is much begrudged by large sections of members

of Congress, although they do not see their way clearly to withhold

supplies of food from the unfortunate people whose hunting-grounds have

been occupied, and who have not yet learned the arts of agriculture,

so as to be able to supply themselves with food. The transportation of

stores, the cost of beef, corn, coffee, bread, tobacco, tea; in fact,

all kinds of food, woollen goods, clothing, boots, hats, groceries,

waggons, tools, hardware, and medical supplies,--all these duly figure

in the estimates of the Indian Commissioner to a very considerable

amount, and the returns as yet do not present any large reduction on

the annual charge; although nearly all the agents speak in terms of

great hopefulness of the extraordinary advance which has been made in

their agencies in the cultivation of the soil.

One remarkable division of the agencies has reference to their

appropriation to religious denominations. An Indian might well

be puzzled as to his form of belief if he were passed through the

various agencies, attending at each a religious service or two, and

listening to the teaching of the various divines attached to them. The

Society of Friends have control of the belief and religious teaching

of the Sante and Nemaja Indians in Nebraska, and of the Pawnees in

the Indian Territory; to the Methodists are assigned three tribes in

California, three tribes in Washington Territory, two in Oregon, three

in Montana, two in Idaho, and one in Michigan. The Nevada Cherokees,

Creeks, Choctaws, Chicasaws, and Seminoles are handed over to the

Baptists. The Presbyterians have charge of the Nezpercès in Idaho,

Umtas in Utah; the Apaches, Pueblos, and two other tribes in New

Mexico. The Congregational Church exercises its religious offices

among the tribes in Wisconsin, among two tribes in Dacotah, and one

in Washington Territory. The Reformed Church has its work cut out for

it in Arizona amongst four tribes. The Protestant Episcopal Church

exercises its jurisdiction over one tribe in Minnesota, six tribes in

Dacotah, one in Indian Territory, and one in Wyoming. The Unitarians

have apparently only one tribe in teaching, the Los Pinos in Colorado.

The United Presbyterians have one tribe in Oregon; the Christian Union

has another in Oregon; the Evangelical Lutheran has charge of the

Southern Utes in Colorado; and lastly, the Roman Catholic Church has

two tribes in Washington Territory, two in Oregon, one in Montana,

and two in Dacotah. As a general rule, the reports of the missionaries

themselves are more sanguine, as they are wont to be, than are those

of disinterested, perhaps unprejudiced, observers of their work. But,

as is natural, the actual progress made depends very much, not only

upon the nature of the tribe among whom the work is carried on, but

on the character of the missionary, and on his ability and energy. In

some instances, I see the condition of a tribe is reported as being

lamentable, from a religious point of view, whilst in a neighbouring

reservation, it is stated that great progress has been made in the

establishment of religious teaching and ideas. The Rosebud Agency is

said to prosper in the hands of one reverend gentlemen; the fathers of

St. Ignatius are described as doing good work amongst the Flatheads;

the Pawnees are left without any missionaries at all, and, says

the government report, "are probably better off without them." And

depreciatory remarks are slightingly introduced concerning the work at

other agencies. On the Devil's Lake Agency, the majority of the adults

shun the missionaries as they would the gentleman who may be supposed

to own the lake by the sides of which they are encamped. The Jesuit

fathers and the Catholic sisters are described as working generally

with zeal and success, whilst one agency assigned to the Methodists

is said to have no religious agency at all. It is to the success of

the attempts made to educate the Indians at the public establishments

that the philanthropist and humanitarian must look with the most

hopefulness.

All the reports of the teachers and visitors of these schools coincide

in one point, that the young Indian is most teachable, and that in

respect of acquiring knowledge he is, if anything, the superior of the

white, who seems to enjoy no hereditary excellence in his capacity for

acquiring knowledge. The Bill to which the Report was an introduction

may be considered indeed as the Magna Charta of the Indian tribes

if it be followed up by judicious treatment, and careful management

of and consideration for the rights conferred upon these tribes as

preliminary to their absorption as citizens in the mass of the nation,

when they are fit for such an amalgamation with the white races. The

advance of the United States westwards has left vacant many military

posts and barracks, stranded, as it were, high and dry in the midst of

the torrent of civilisation. Fort Bridger, Wyoming; Carlisle Barracks,

Pennsylvania; Fort Craig, New Mexico; Fort Cummings, in the same

territory, and a number of others, have been named as suitable for

the purpose of educating the Indian children; and it was in pursuance

of the measure recommended to Congress that the various agencies

throughout the Indian Territories were directed to forward children

whom their parents might wish to entrust to the officers of the United

States for education. "Received in the rudest state of savagism," says

the Report, "their progress is already most remarkable." I have already

remarked that the health of the boys is not generally satisfactory.

Their sanitary condition is bad; and it would appear that sometimes in

these long and tedious journeyings from the remote Indian agencies the

poor children suffer much.

Even at the present moment the Anglo-Saxon appears to be dealing with

the Maori in New Zealand very much as he has dealt with the native in

Tasmania and in Australia. The history of our relations with the New

Zealand chiefs and people is not in a nature to enable us to throw

stones at the Americans with impunity, for the glass house in which

we live can very easily be reached. Some sixteen or seventeen years

ago a rebellion, arising out of the aggressions of the white settlers

on the lands of the Maori, was averted by a Proclamation and by Acts

confiscating a large tract of Tallinassey, which became theoretically

the property of the Crown. Of course the natives had as little to say

to that as the lady who is mentioned in 'Tristram Shandy' had with the

declaration that "she was not related to her own child." But they did

not recognise the occupancy, and whenever a white man settled upon

a portion of the ground they pulled down his fences and removed his

landmarks. The contest is still going on, but no one who is acquainted

with the history of the colony will doubt what the end will be; and

it is coming soon, or it is to come, the moment the colonists are bent

upon taking the land, and when it is desired to do so.

"It but feebly expresses the judgment formed from what we have observed

to say that we regard the experiment made in this school to educate and

improve Indian children as in every way a very remarkable success." _Si

sic omnes!_ Why does not the United States Government, or if not the

Government, the people, abounding in wealth, full of pious impulses,

humane, charitable, who justly say that the worst use you can make

of an Indian is to hang him; why do not the political economists who

declare that it costs a million of dollars to get rid of an Indian with

gunpowder and lead; why do not the enterprising and wealthy capitalists

who desire to appropriate Indian Reservations all combine to extend the

work of these schools so as to absorb all that remains of the Red Man

in the rising generation amongst the citizens of the great Republic? A

blessed work, worthy of an imperial State, truly great and truly good!

FOOTNOTES

[A] How Mr. Garrett executed his mission and killed the Kid is

narrated in the account of the desperados of the West, which

forms a separate chapter.

[B] The day of our departure from the United States, after the

visit of which I have been giving the details, was the date

of a great crime, of which we were then ignorant. About the

very time that we were on our way to the wharf to embark on

board the "_City of Berlin_," the murderer of the President

was accomplishing his purpose. But with all the means and

appliances which exist for the despatch of news, I believe

that the commission of the crime was not known till the

steamer had passed out to sea from the Sand Heads.
