Full Text

The western members of congress are beginning to consider the effect of the continued refusals of the Indians to sign the Sioux treaty. The opinion is generally entertained that a bill could be passed should the present treaty fail, to strike from the law under which these negotiations are pending, the provision requiring the plan to be submitted to the Indians for approval. If the present attempt to open the Sioux country shall be abandoned because of mere obstinacy of the Indians, a good many in congress will doubtless change their views as to the wisdom of the present method of conducting negotiations with the Indians. Representative Lind is of the opinion that a bill to repeal the provision of this law, which requires a submission of the question to the Indians, could be passed in the house next session.
