A few years ago when the Indian was driven upon what is now known as the plains country. it was believed the Indian difficulty was pretty well settled. There was a vast expanse of territory. (and. by the by. net a very good territory.) and it was supposed to be beyond the range of settlement. but very shortly afterward California was acquired and our settlements began to grow on the Pacific coast. Emigration then commenced progressing from the west to the east. and still from the east to the west. so that today the Indian is confined within a territory of the United States bordered on the west nearly entirely by tie Sierra Nevadas. and on the east by a line running somewhere from near the west end of Lake Superior southwesterly through to the Gulf of Mexico. Now. the question is what is to become of him ? This territory he cannot hold.
