WHAT AN INDIAN SAID
BY ALICE ROLLINS CRANES
A great, grand roundup of educated
Indian children took place on Febru
ary 27th at the Carlisle reservation in
Pennsylvania. It was hold to cele
brate the graduation of the English
class of aborigines, crammed with the
knowledge of the white man's civiliza
tion and thoroughly conversant with
all its details, who shortly would be
returned to the tipees and wiokeeups
of their parents and allowed to relapse
into a state of savagery worse than be
fore—because it would be a civilized
one.
A large assemblage of the notables
of the land was present—national sen
atort, high representatives of the army,
the governor of the state and a large
number of black-coated men of God,
whose pious looks and fervent expres
sions of joy added much to the eclat
of the occasion, and probably made
more of an impression on the two
thousand and odd parsons present
than on the graduates.
The motto of the class was, i'We will
go on," and it was decided by all tbat
they had made a good beginning. The
members of the house Indian commit
tee, and other government ofiioials
present took great oare, however, that
the next leaf of the graduate's book of
life should not be turned until their
grand send-off was over, and the en
thusiastic audience had gone to their
homes, praising the paternal thought
fulness of the government and figuring
up the number of missionary boxes
and tracts which the next year would
be forwarded to the parents and rela
tives of their red proteges.
Notwithstanding the precautions
taken by these genial philanthropic
guardians of the red man, they actually
consented to the introduction of a
bomb-shell, which exploded in their
midst and scattered widespread havoc
on every side, simply by drawing the
mask aside and showing the naked
truth regarding the real treatment of
the Indians by the government.
Before the effulgent and rather mor
bid addresses of the speakers had com
menced, Captain Pratt, tbe superin
tendent of the school, said that there
was an Apache Indiau among them
who had been sent to attend the grad
uation ceremonies by a great Chicago
paper.
"His name is Antonio Apache," con
tinued Captain Pratt, "and 1 desire
him to come upon the platform and
address us. Ho has been out from the
Apache reservation browsing around
in civilization until he is full of it.
General O. O, Howard met his father
under peculiar circumstances out west,
and there are those here who also wish
to see him again.
■ Antonio Apache, tall, graceful and
altogether the gentleman, rose, and was
met on the platform by General How
ard. The general said:
"In 1872 General Grant sent me to
Arizona to try to make peace with the
Apache Indians. I took personal let
ters from General Grant to General
Schofleld and General Crook, made a
campaign through the oountry, met
the Apaches and carried a delegation
to Washington." General Howard,
bovver, forgot to tell his hearers that
one of this delegation was Tozs, the
eldest son of Cochise, chief of the
Chiricahua branch of the Apaches,
whose death and burial in Washington,
D. C, oaused the outbreak of 1881."
Continuing, General Howard said:
"I didn't succeed in making peace
with the tribe. I tried to get to their
headquarters in the heart of the Blue
mountain. Cochise was the ruling
chief. I went baok again. Then I tried
again and failed. When I got as far as
New Mexico, on my return, I ran across
a man whom they told me was Captain
Jeffords, the White Chief of the
Apaohes, and the only man tbat Co
chise ever allowed to come into camp,
and I asked him if be would take me
there.
"He said: 'Yes, general, if you will go
without any troops.'
"I said, 'AH right.'
"We went in. One of the Indians
went ahead and then we were conduct
ed right into the stronghold, with no
way to get out. There was one little
entranoe, one little place where the
stream wont out. The Indians bad
pistols in tbeir hands.
"At first we expected Cochise there
but Cochise was not present, and ther
was a sub-chief, who said he didn'
know whether his commander would
allow us to go back or not The In
dians who went with us were fright
ened about it.
"Next morning the first man that
came galloping on horseback down the
ravine, just as we were getting ready
to go, was Juan, all painted with war
paint. He was a brother of tbe Chief
Cochise, but there was no Cochise yst.
Well, Juan came and conversed with
113 for some little time. He didn't tell
us who was to follow him. but soon
after, Cochise came along, riding with
dignity and selfpossesaion. He had
with bim his wife, his sou, and children
and some others. He rode along and
dismounted. I was most astonished;
Cochise was six feet tail, eyes as big us
saucers, and as tine a looking man as I
had ever seen. To my astonishment
he spoke the Spanish language readily.
He turned to me and I shook hands
with him. In the meanwhile, they had
gotten all ready for us. I will not tell
you the rest of the story. I only want
to say that to my astonishment, 1 found
here tonight the son of Juan, the
brother of Cochise. His name is An
tonio, and I want to introduce bim to
you. He looks very much like Cochise,
only he is a little better dressed." .
General Howard then introduced
Antonio Apache who, in a clear, well
modulated voice, said:
"Ladies and Gentlemen—lt is an un
expected pleasure to address this vast
assembly this evening. I came down
here on a mission for a newspaper in
order to let the people in Chicago
know what Captain Pratt is doing for
the Indiau, collectively and individu
ally. I expected to be placed on the
program according to the way wine
was served in the old Hebrew days.
When the guests were first asked to
the meal they always served the good
wine, but as the meal progressed they
generally put on poorer, but I have the
great honor of being served with the
good. The people of the United States
have been in intimate contaot with the
Indians for a period of 250 years; in
Florida and elsewhere a longer period.
The citizens of the United States have
been taxed indefinitely for the Bupport
of the various Indian tribes. Much of
tbe appropriations which have been
made year after year for the benefit of
tbe Indian goes to the contractor and
trader for transportation and supplies,
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING. APRIL 5. 1898.
and tbe Indians get tbe tail end of it.
There would. be no problem
in dealing with the Indians
if a proper administration
had been rendered when tbe depart
ment was first established, and accord
ing to the idea of George Washington;
then we would not. need to have a
reservation here today in Carlisle.
This is a reservation. The Indian
oould have been civilized aud would be
holding a much better position than at
the present time. The method that
has been adopted by the administra
tion has been adopted for the benefit
of the contractors and others, and has
a tendency to encourage the reserva
tion system, which has been a curse to
the Indian and will ever be a blot upon
Indian legislation. The people of the
United States in their iguoranoe have
good intentions, but the sooial laws of
tbe Indians have made them vaga
bonds. The Indians of tbe United
States are today in a worse condition
practically, considering what has been
expended in their behalf, than they
were fifty years ago. ludians are sus
ceptible to education and civilization,
and they are much better thsn the
average immigrants who come into the
country aud who at onoe receive citi
zenship.
The Indian as the ward of the nation
has been denied the rights in the
courts of the United States. He has
been den'ed the rights that are given
to the immigrant on his arrival in this
country. He is denied tbe redress for
any trouble that may occur. Here is
an Indian on a reservation, and the
agent is an absolute monarch. His
authority is as great as the Czar of
Russia.
The people of tho United States want
to see the Indians progress aud be
come self-respecting citizens, but this
reservation system has been a curse to
them. They are just like a herd of
cattle in a corral. There is no reason
for that today. Take the most savage
tribes in tbe United States and with
proper administration they oan bo
brought up in five years time. It is
possible, but there is only one thing
to be done, legislation has got to pro
ceed upon the broad principles of jus
tice and humanity. The Indians are
willing to work. I have seen them
work. Some people have an idea that
tbe only thing an Indian is good for is
to draw rations, but it is the younger
generation tbat we have got to look to
for the future of the Indian of the
United States. I have no sym
pathy for the old heads;
tbe sooner they die out
the better. It has been a great detri
ment to the progress of the young, in
going back and living among their own
people, who are full of ignorance and
superstition. They naturally have to
adapt themselves to the rules of the
community in which they live. The
future of the Indian lies with the
younger generation. They have got to
go our. aud hustle. I would no more
receive rations from tbe United States
government than I would be a dog. I
have seen them throw meat at the In
dians, and I have been in tbe zoo and
seen them do it the same way.
It is not the lack of intellect in the
Indian, but it is his ignorance tbat
stands in the way. Tbe childien here
no doubt look back in the centuries
when the Caucasian race was just as
ignorant as the Indians, but it took
them centuries to reaoh the typo of
citizenship whioh they now have at
tained, and which is by no means the
most successful that has been reached.
Under proper reanngement the Indiana
could all be on a
in five years' time. The only hops for
the Indians is for tbe young people to
respect themselves end to carry them
selves aB men and women. If I had my
way, I would put all the old Indians on
the reservation alone."
Mr. Apache's impassioned gestures,
direot charges and irrefutable facts,
fell like a thunderbolt on the assem
blage. His appearauce bespoke the
truth of what he said. He, himself,
was its exponent. He stood the result
of what a civilized Apache could attain
to, and in language, logic and delivery
stood an equal among them all. Prob
ably for the first time was the truth
told unhesitatingly and plainly cast
into the very,teeth of the Indian com
mittee, while tbeir attempts to gloss
over and bide the misappropriation of
funds, tbe ill treatment, and above ell,
the ignorant course tbey have been
pursuing toward the Indians, was
bathed in the pure light of day.
Everything which Antonio Apache
said was right. If the government
used tbe proper means the Indians
would be self-supporting in five years
and the necessity of making appropria
tions for them and the expense of sus
taining troops, would cease forever.
The address was as unexpected as it
was sensational and will result in
graat good by setting some of the best
people in the east thinking and the
crushing out of the morbid sentimen
talists, who if they continue to exist
much longer, will be the Indians'
doom.
Senator Sherman rose in response to
Antonio Apache's speech and said that
be did not think he would be doing
justice to himself, his country or bis
race, if he sat silent after what seemed
to bim was an attack made on the de
partment aud bureau of Indiau affairs.
"I do not Hgree," said he, "with my
young acquaintance from the west,
that this generous government, whioh
only yesterday appropriated eight and
a half millions ot dollars to assist in
the civilization of the Indian race, ie
tramping that race down. I do not
agree with him that we are treating the
Indians like dogs, throwing to them
moat as we throw the offal to the beast.
(The illustrious senator never lived ou
a reservation evidently, else he would
know wboreof he speaks.) "I challenge
any man's statemeut, who asserts that
that department is not in thorough
sympathy with every effort to civilize
and elevate the Indian race, and I don't
think the old Indians should be rele
gated to the rear." (No? well, then let
the government supply their wickee
ups with sewing machines, nickel
plated washing machines and band cul
tivators, that it tenches their young to
use in its schools, so they may praotice
on them a few hours a day at home.)
Eight and one-half million dollars'
appropriation to assist iv the civiliza
tion of the Indians! Where does it all
go? Surely with that amount there
should be none uncivilized.
Certainly a change will be wrought
if satisfactory roßults are obtained by
the expenditure of tbe eight and a half
millions, for over a hundred million
has been expended, and so far the In
telligent observer cannot say that the
condition of the Indian has improved.
There is probably now hope for the
reclamation of the Indian.
Stories Which Wander
What schoolboy does not remember how
Sir Philip Sidney refused a cup of water at
/.utphen, giving it to tho wounded soldier
beside him? But in his Quintus Curtitie
he will find the same story with a differ
enie of circumstance, When the Mace
donians were pursuing Bessus they suffered
the last agonies of thirst. One of them
found water, and hastened back with a
supply; meeting the king in advance, he
offered him a cupful. Alexander asked
to whom they were carrying the water,
and when he heard it was fur their chil
dren he handed back the cup, saying,
"Take tt to the children, sinco there is not
enough for all."
The anower of a Spanish marshal on his
deathbed, when told to foreive his enemies
—"I have shot them all"—has been attrib
uted to several of his nation, and to a
Scotsman a century before. Mr. < lallenga
reports it of Narvaez.and he was in Madrid
at the time. Anyhow we have it, varied
only by the circumstance*, in the answer
of Flaminius to Philip 11 of Macedon. At
a conference Philip observed; "You have a
great retinue, general, whilst I come all
alone."' "No wonder," replied Flaminius,
"for you have killed all who should have
been your attendants."
There are those who believe that every
good saying, especially the "very last thing
out," was current among the ancients.
They do not lack illustrations of their the
ory, anyhow. Who does not know the epi
taph on the good duko of Northumberland
and his wife, which ends, "What I gave I
have"? Ovid quotes a line by his friend,
Domitius Maraus—the only one extant—
"Hoe habeo quodeunqne dedi," etc., which
is exactly the same thing.
The legend of a painter who called upon
a rival in his absence and left a trophy of
skill, which the rival emulated, is told of
half a dozen "old masters." Wo llnd tho
original in Pliny. Under those circum
stances Apelles drew a line of exquisite
slenderness In the studio wall of I'rotog
enes. The latter coming in split the line
in two—with paint of another color, we
presume. Apelles took an opportunity to
return, saw hia challenge thus mocked,and
split the second line. Then I'rotogenes
lecugnized his visitor. We muv even be
lieve this earliest version, for l'lin / says he
had often seen the marks thus subdivided.

"Shadowgraph" and "Telegram"
A correspondent writes to protest against |
the "barbarous" word "shadowgram," i
which he fears is getting into the language
as tha term to describe Prof. Roentgen s
new process of photography. The only de
fensible word, he assures us, is sciagra- j
pheme, assuming that, the term wanted is i
one to describe the representation of a
shadow or outline. If there were a cor
responding Greek word it would be |
skiagrapheo for tho verb form and skiag- .
rapherna for the noun form. Hence, of
course, "sciagrapherne." .
We prefer not to kindle warfare among
the scholars by expressing a very positive
opinion upon this point. But oar corres
pondent's objection recalls a similar battle
long ago over the word telegram. In this
case the barbarians won a notable victory
over the combined forces of Cambridge
scholarship, which asserted that the word
"telegram" implied a blunder .for which
any schoolboy would be chastised. The
verb, they asserted, must be telegraphes.
and the noun telegraphema—hence tele
grapheme, and not telegram. Tho public,
however, absolutely revolted against lele
grapheme, and insisted on telegram,
though to the end of his days the famous
Cambridge scholar, Shilleio, always talked
about "sending a telegrapheme"—never a
telegram. In the case of "photograph," a
curiously British compromise was arranged
between the two forms. The word is quito
correct so far as it goes.—Westminster
