t Spirit made the Red man and the White. I think he made the Red man first. He raised me in this land, and it is mine. He raised the White men beyond the sea; their land is over there. Since they crossed the sea, I have given them room, and there are pale faces all about me. I have but a small spot of land left. The Great Spirit tells me to keep it. Brigham Young might use these words. The Lord has given Salt Lake Valley to Brigham and the Saints, just as the Great Spirit has given Nebraska to Red Cloud and the Sioux. The Lord has told Brigham to keep that valley, and Brigham will hold it so long as the Lord gives him strength to keep the Gentiles out. Whatever I do, says Red Cloud, in the tone so often heard at Salt Lake City, my people will do the same. Whether asking or refusing, Red Cloud is but carrying out the wishes of his people and the will of God. Brigham Young has done something to appease the feuds between Utes and Shoshones; but, as some persons allege, he

hey wanted soldiers to protect their plant; but Red Cloud would not have these armed hands about his lodges. No, he answered the Commissioner, in the tone of a prophet; you shall not send a soldier across the North Platte. Conferences were held, and Red Cloud went to Washington and New York. A pact was signed by him, giving the White men certain rights; but many of his tribe were vexed by his concessions, and asserted that their chief had been made drunk. A new palaver was arranged at Laramie, when Red Cloud stood on his ancient right, not only as a prince, but priest and seer. Commissioner Brandt asked him to receive a White agent in his country. He refused. I have consulted the Great Spirit, and do not want a strange man for agent. When pressed to yield the right of garrisoning his hunting-grounds, he rose and spoke: I am Red Cloud. The Great Spirit made the Red man and the White. I think he made the Red man first. He raised me in this land, and it is mine. He r

ve been actually baptized into the Mormon Church. Red bishops have been consecrated for the government of these mountain tribes. Nine years ago, while staying in Salt Lake City, studying the system introduced among men of European stock by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, I wrote these words: What have ,these saints achieved? In the midst of a free people, they have founded a despotic power. In a land which repudiates State religions, they have placed their Church above human laws. Amr view of Indian life confirms my first belief that some of the ideas and many of the practices, found among the Mormons living at Salt Lake city, are a growth of the soil, older than the advent of Brigham Young, older than the revela tion of Joseph Smith. Apart from the devotional spirit, the sense of order, and the love of work, which are the virtues of New England and of Old England, never yet divorced from men of Anglo-Saxon breed, the Mormons seem to have derived their chief ideas, and

Great Spirit and his tribe. No private member of the tribe has any power to hold and own the land, and what is on the land. 7. An injury to any member of the nation is regarded by the Red man an injury to all, so that this wrong must be atoned before the tribe can rest — a blood atonement being required of the offending tribe. All these ideas, strange to White men, hardly known in London and Berlin, Paris and New York, have been adopted by the Saints, not only by Brigham Young and Daniel Wells, illiterate presidents of the Church, but by their learned bishops, compeers, and defenders, Delegate George Q. Cannon, and Professor Orson Pratt. In the camp of Red Cloud, a chief of the Teton Sioux, you hear the same talk of divine help, and of standing face to face with God, as you hear in the Lion House and Tabernacle at Salt Lake. I will consult the Great Spirit, says Red Cloud, when the Indian Commissioners press a point. In speaking to the Whites, Red Cloud never drops this t

as, many of the practices of Utes, Shoshones, or Snakes. A wider view of Indian life confirms my first belief that some of the ideas and many of the practices, found among the Mormons living at Salt Lake city, are a growth of the soil, older than the advent of Brigham Young, older than the revela tion of Joseph Smith. Apart from the devotional spirit, the sense of order, and the love of work, which are the virtues of New England and of Old England, never yet divorced from men of Anglo-Saxon breed, the Mormons seem to have derived their chief ideas, and adopted their chief practices from the Indian lodge. Glance, for a moment, at the main ideas on which Red men differ from White — from all White men except Latter-day Saints. 1. Red men have a physical god, who can be seen and heard, not only in the cloud and wind, but with the form and voice of man. 2. They have a class of seers and chiefs, endowed with a supernal faculty of seeing this god, of listening to his counsels,

Chapter 19: Red Mormonism. From Winnemucca, an Indian camp in Nevada, to Brigham, a prosperous Mormon town in Salt Lake Valley, we race and wriggle through a mountain district, not more striking in physical aspect than in human interest. Rolling on the level of Ben Nevis, with a score of snowy peaks in front and flank, we climb through woods of stunted pine, ascending by the Pallisades to Pequop, at the height of Mont d'or, from which we slide by way of Humboldt Wells and the American Desert direct to Brigham in the land of Zion. Ten years ago, this line of country, four hundred miles by road, belonged to independent tribes of Utes and Shoshones, whose pagan ancestors had hunted buffalo, made peace and war, and carried on vendetta, from the frozen sierras to the neighbourhood of Snake River and Shoshone Falls. To-day these tribes have not a single acre of their ancient hunting grounds. Many of these Indians are Red Mormons. Every Indian tribe, among whose tents the Mo

All these ideas, strange to White men, hardly known in London and Berlin, Paris and New York,mountains from the Upper Missouri River to the Setting Sun. White men came into his huntinggrounds; trappers, dealers, herdsmrs how to work! But he reserved his princely rights. When White men came to make a road, they wanted soldiers to protect ths at bay; but numbers and courage were of no avail against White strength and discipline. Shot, brained, cut down, they feld the bones of many warriors who had evidently been sped by White men's bullets to the land of souls. That skirmish cleared Shoshones made off, retiring to the trackless wastes where White men's feet have never trod. The trail was lost, the chase
