Senator McCumber, who hails from North Dakota, in a speech on the Indian appropriation bill, predicted that within the next fifteen years ‘every acre of Taitian land would have passed into the hands of the white man and the En glians would be wandering bands of beggars,’ whose only hope would be to get into Mexico. This is a discour aging prospect, after all that the nation has done with the ostensible purpose to rescue the ending from an ignoble des tiny. We are not yet ready to believe that the senator's prediction is well founded, although it must be acknowl edged that the whites in the states where Indians now reside exhibit a disposition which would make the re sult possible. The whites want all the Indian land, and the government is too often inclined to help them get it. Sometimes the Indian bureau appears to be on their side, as when it fixes the price of reservation lands far below their actual value in order, seemingly, to tempt the cupidity of the local ene mies of the Indian.
