THE INDIAN Ql'ESTION.
The secretary of the treasury has issu-
ed a circular wbi< h directs all collector*
ot etistenis to collect the alien immigrant
tax of fifty cents each, which by law is
levied upon all foreigners coming io this
country, whether they are merely tour is s,
travelers in trans t to other countries, or
immigrants coming to this country to re-
side pennni.eiitly. As federal law* ap-
ply to all collection < istiicts alike, it
would he interesting to find out how the
above regulation is io Le enforced and
carried out in the district of El Pase.
..L-.f-—. -i- — «
The penitentiary question is getting to
be a very perplt sing one. The Green-
ville Banner lias tins to say on the nib-
ject: "'I he ►■•ate convict prohli ru is u
totijih one. There ate twice as tneny
convcts as the walls will hold. The
siate of T< xa> ought to buy arid operate
a vast state f*rtn »om« u here in the rich
regions of Central Texas, in connection
with a new penitentiary to he erected
there. This seems to be ihe only way to
u'i'izethe vast amount of unskilled labor
whirl) i« now a burden on the«tate."
Like the shifting scenes on the camera
of i he kaleidoscope, questions of mo-
ment, interc.-t and i xciteuient have pass-
ed over the minds ot our people. The
Strang proposition for the fch ool
lands in i 'isher county first, then the re-
port of the financial committee and the
two grand jury rejloi ts following fast op-
en one another; but quickly giving way
to and in some manner productive of the
action of the commissioners court, and
last, It r the time being overshadowing all,
is the Indian question. Its suddenness
is only equaled by iIip complete absorp-
tion of all other questions in the minds
of the people. From all the reports
from .those in command of the reserva-
tions and the seeming goad behavior of
the Indians for the past eighteen months,
we were totally unprepared for mch
i.eus. It to a very gn at extent deaion-
siraus the necessity of a vital change in
the treatment of this Indian question bv
the government. Fortunately the ad-
ministration is not trammeled by or tied
t»> the precedents which have so long
l.een tried with so fatal and damaging
results hitherto. It suggist* to our
init.d-the folly of longer" holding the
bands i:i reservations located in the
Wis —tit least while the country sur-
rounding them i ff. rs such advantages of
j) tinder with impunity as it now does.
It the , administration would
consider Ihe ruggedness of the country,
the ditlieul ies ot communication and
tn.asportation, wli.ch are advantages
fav ningthe hosiiles. the scant and sparse
population, practically of uo help to each
oihr-i ; it the administration would con-
sider that the Indian is without contact
with practically any higher order of civ-
ilization: it the admin stration could un-
derstand that the chief or tribal respon-
sibility to the government ha* no r- -
^training it.lluetice the Indian individ-
ually; if tne Administiation could under-
build that the community system has
been demonstrated to be a failure in the
reseivatloi s where tried—lhen it would
seem to us to mgg st to the mind of the
admini-trattou the removal of these reser-
vations to the cetiti r of the Indi in Tei ri-
tt-ry, where they w ould be surrounded
firtt by a snta 1 cordon <>f soldier po ts;
■second by penceabU' »nd to a certain ex-
tent civilized Indians, and on the outside
of this a dense and close population of
white* who stand, as it were, elbow to
elbow, leady to crush ou'at a moment's
warning any hostile demonstration with
all the faciliti s of tr msmlssion of intelli-
gence, concentration and combination of
forces. There the moral ell'ect of these
surroundings would deter the bands of
wild Indians from even an attempt, at
depredation.
In ad.lit on, this location would bring
them in daily contact with an improved
condition of their own race, and should
the lands be given out to individual
ownership, instead to tribal, a* now
followed, it would have a tendency to
make them feel more their importance
an 1 make them more industrious. Some
such disposition as their removal and
location in a country not so well adapt-
ed to their habits, and not so inviting to
depredations is imperatively demanded
by the people of the west, because we
know more of this Indian questiou than
the people of the east. The government
could purchase of the tribes in the In-
dian Territory a sufficiency of 1-tnd, and
this would be offset bv the reservations
now occupied by those tribes. The
government has to support them at a
heavy expense anil at a great ►acriflce of
property anu lives, as being demonstrat-
ed evry day now. and why not acton
this questiou as if It were any o her
busiues- proposition? Prompt and de-
cisive action is expected of the adminis-
tration, and we fee) we will not be dis-
appointed.
THE fight over the Galveston custom-
house DMxeth warm. There are several
applicants, all '-strongly endorsed." The
News says; "A custom-house should
not be a training school for politicians,
neither should it be a dry dock in which
spavin, d ward bosses may be hoisted for
ft-pato." Stuart paper, that Jv'tws.
