In his Annual Report, the Secretary of the Interior says that, respecting the Indians, the great difficulty in dealing with them is that there is no longer any frontier line; they are divided among the whites who are constantly spreading over the Western country. The immense region allotted them, and the strict dividing line between them and the whites, in British America, is the reason the English Government is enabled to manage them so easily. We can make no such restriction, with our growing population. The report recommends as progress toward civilization that the Indians be gathered in smaller reservations and taught agriculture and cattle raising; that small tracts be deeded each one, so that they may have fixed homes; that hunting be discouraged; that proper tribunals of justice be established; that schools be introduced, and attendance by youth made compulsory; that farmers be employed to teach Indians agriculture, and that Indian labor be employed on all reservations. * * * * * CHINESE NOTES. Governor Irwin, of California, has urged the Legislature of that State to memorialize Congress that it is the duty of the United States Government to prevent unlimited Chinese immigration. The State Senate has forwarded such a document. The Memorial says, that the 180,000 Chinamen constitute one sixth of the population of California, pay less than one-four-hundredth of the State revenue, and send back to China $180,000,000 annually ($1,000 each); that they have no families here; that not one has been converted to a Christian faith or way of living; that the cheapness of their labor, owing to their cheap living, stops American and European immigration, and interferes with the development of the State; that if not interfered with, they will ultimately drive out white labor, and leave only masters and serfs on the Pacific Coast. * * * * *
