I know that the victim was only an Indian. and that he is now a "dead Indian." But I confess that this has seemed to me a good deal like other murders. and I am as yet unable to disabuse my mind of a feeling that our dealings with the weak who come under our power should be characterized by a scrupulous regard to justice and humanity. more carefully meted. perhaps. to him who has no power to compel the exaction of the justice which is his due and not written in the blood of innocent men. It has been a relief to me. however. in examining our treatment of these weak and defenseless people. to find that these methods are not American in their origin. but bear too striking a resemblance to the modes of an imperial government carried on by espionage and arbitrary power. They are methods which I believe to be unique. and which I trust will never be naturalized. Mr. President.
