INDIAN EDUCATION.
The Sioux chiefs in their confer-
ence at Washington said that they
appreciated the fact that the time
had arrived when their people must
abandon their old customs and hab-
its and therefore they wanted their
children educated and they said it
would be bettor to talce tho Indian
children away from their parents
and their tribe and educate them
among the white people so that they
should not cling to their Indian
ways but would adopt those of tho
wliitos. Without knowing how
sfcuong is the affection of Indian par-
ante for their children how child-
Etfe thev are in their sorrow at being
separated from them and how long
the time of such separation seems
it is impossible to understand how
much is meant for tJie chiefs who
themselves had children at Carlisle
to sar this. They have so little that
what they do have is everything to
them. Morning Star.

"The course of destruction will
last about fifteen days ; on the first
day the sea will overllow its boun-

The Anthony Republican in-
spired by PnvynejSlast proclamation
gives voice to its spleen in 4tho fol-
lowing burst of eloquence :
"Mr. Payne expects to win-in the
end and we regard it as only a
question of a very short time when
the entire Indian Territory as a res-
ervation will he a thing of tho past.
The people-are getting tired. of tho
sentimental gusli about tho noble
red man. They begin to fool as
though it-was about time to let up
on the vast expenditures to fcecj
clothe school and equip savages let
alone according to them rightaavhich.
white men do not possess. Theraifl
a feeling that we cannot afford :to
continue such a state of affairs par-
ticularly while the cities of tho
United States turn out so many
wretches of .poverty so :many ob-
jects of charity emaciated gaunt
and decrepit. It is timo that the
Indian question was left to settle
itself that the unoccupied lands in
the United States were all thrown
open to settlement allowing the! ra-
dians to take their chances withilho
balance of mankind."
As 1o Paync'43 prospect of ulti-
mate success we do not choose to
trouble oursclf for what we might
say would have no more effect on
the action of the Government than
do the pratings -of t'he dlepublican
and others of its kind. Tho Gov-
ernment 'feeds clothes and schools
tho Indians in exactly tho Homo
sense that the merchant furnishoa
the farmer except that the Indiana
havo paid for their supplies yarsin
advanco while the civilised white
man swears if he lias to pay in a
year. The (lovernnient made tho
most solemn promise to do even
more than it is now doing for the
Indians. and in accepting clothing
subsistence etc. the' are in no
.ionse paupons. They bargained
fairly on their side at least and
paid dearly for what they aro now
getting. The Government had its
pay long since and will in the main
comply with the treaties. The Il-
Ipublioau would have the Govoiiiv
