In the ich? le arca of tue Uulted rtt.?t?-*i, n?>t including Alaska, there Is not au important valley niiye cupled ny white men. The rapid ?.croud of civilisation since 1849 has p?a. d the white mau and the Indian tn direct contint throiigaoiit the whole ares, and tho "la iliau problem" Is thus forced upon us, and It must be solved wisely or unwisely. Many of th- difficulties are' iiih'-rett and pan uot be avoided, l?ul an equal minder are unnecessary and are caused tiy the tack of onr knowl crl-n relatiug to tho Indiaus themselves. Bavai/ery is not inchoate civilisation; It Is rii'.istlu''! stitusof ?.oci.-tv, with iu own ln?tliutions, customs, philosophy and relig. loll ; and all these must uoowMtarily '"? ovi ? lui ,w ,\ be fore m w institution?, customs, philosophy and i?',i-i?,ii can be introduced. Tho failure to recognize this fact ha? wrought inconceivable mlschi.-f in our tuiiiiagcuient. of toe Indians, for the proper elucidation of this et.tte m-nt a volume is n c?*?*arv, but I shall Uiive to content mvself with some brief illustrations.
