QUIETED THE INDIANS.
Bishop Whipple's Method of Sub
duing Refractory and Re~
bellious Braves.
Most interesting is Bishop Whipple's
account of the manner in which he
once prevented an Indian outbreak,
says H. B. Merwin, in Atlantic.
“Courteousness of speech,” he says,
“is & marked characteristic of the In
dian, It is an act of great rudeness
to interrupt another, and the last
words of every speech are: ‘I have
done,' Knowledge of this fact once
enabled me to settle a serious difficul
ty. The Indians at Leech Lake had
heard--as was the fact—that the gov
ernment had sold all their pine with
out their knowledge and consent.”
An uprising was imminent, and the
Indians had already killed the govern
ment cattle. Bishop Whipple was re
quested by the president to go to
Leech Lake and negotiate with the In
dians. “It was in the dead of winter,
the thermometer below zero, and the
| snow deep. It was a jourvey of 15%
'| miles through the forest, and it took |
us three days to reach the lake, The
Indians came to their council in paint
| and feathers, angry and turbulent”
| Flatmouth, their chief, made a violent
|.speech, to which the bishop replied
| briefly, as follows: *“I shall tell you
| the truth. It will not be pleasant to
| my red brother. When you killed
|| those cattle, you struck the Great
| Father in the face. When you stole
1| those goods, you committed a crime.
| T am not here to tell you what the
Great Father will do. He has not told
)| me. If he does what he ought to do,
| he will arrest those who have com
. | mitted this erime, If it takes 10,000
' | men.”
“As I expected,” the bishop relates,
| “the chief was very angry, and,
¥| springing to his feet, began to talk
8 | violently. 1 folded my arms and sat
| down. When he paused, I said quiet
ly: ‘Flatmouth, are you talking, or
-| am T talking? If you are talking, I
* | will wait till you have finished; if I
1| am talking, you may wait till ¥ have
1| finished.” The Indians all shouted:
-| ‘Ho! ho!’ Their chief had committed
a great breach of courtesy toward me,
*| their friend.
r “Overwhelmed with confusion, Flat
¥ | mouth sat down, and 1 knew that the
“| ground was mine. [ then told them
that when I heard of the pine sale 1
- | wrote to Washington and protested
*| against it; that | went to the man
*| who bought the pise, and told him
3| that I should oppose the sale and car
: ry the matter into the courts.”
