Spring opened unusually early. They
have journeyed thus Ihr, with little dim.

laws regulating trade with tho Indians are
violated. The continual distribution and
use of ardent spirits amoiigif them, Is not
merely prejudicial to (hemsctvos alone,
but greatly disturbs the peace, and Impairs
Ihs safety of Ihe while Inhabitants, con.
Ilguous to Indian villages. There it too
much apathy prevalent In this country,
concerning this practice, All woll dll
posed otlitens should regard It as a conscl.
eniloua duty, to bring to justice Ihe of.
fsndsrs for such grievous violations of leg.
Islatlve enactmentst and groat good wculd
probably result from greater vigilance
on ihe part of the Indian Agents. That
"Inevitable destiny" that "mysterious
fading away of tho red man before tbe face
of ihe white," renralns no longer a my,
tery to me. Prostitution and rum, do tbe
