Chapter C: P. Allen, M. D

This reservation embraces about 3,200,000 acres of land, of which one-third is supposed to be tillable; two-thirds wooded, grazing and worthless.

Perhaps the most gratifying feature of the work here is the successful opening of a fully equipped boarding-school in November last. Ten boys and as many girls were taken, clothed and fed; the girls were taught to wash, mend, knit, cook, keep house; and the boys were taught to cut and prepare fuel, to plow, plant, grub, do fence and farm work. In addition to the twenty boarding pupils, there were some twenty day-scholars, so that the present capacity of the school is filled. The results are very gratifying.

The missionary work has been under the auspices of the Protestant Episcopal Mission, who sent last year two native clergymen to labor here; one died in September, 1877. This year, three others have been sent to labor here and across the Lake, where no missionary work has been done, and where the Indians oppose any work of the kind. A church edifice is in process of building, to be completed by December 1st.

Progress is seen in the extent of land in cultivation, in largely increased crops, in fencing made, better dwellings, more stoves, tables, chairs, crockery, better clothing, greater cleanliness, more wash-boards and wash-tubs in use, more comfortable homes; more stock each year; a growing desire to have their children educated; more knitting and sewing done than formerly. Owing to a general lack of snow and water, less has been accomplished this season than usual in the way of building houses, as we had little lumber to build with, although logs were cut, preparatory to driving to mill, to the amount of over 100,000 feet.

Arrangements are about completed for putting in here a substantial little flour-mill this fall, to convert their wheat into nice flour. This will prove a great incentive to increased labor in clearing up land and raising more wheat. This again, will conduce to improved health, as much of their sickness arises from insufficient food, and that of poor quality.

During the last year a new source of revenue has been developed, which is _Senega root_. Of this, they have dug nearly $4,000 worth, and the supply is not exhausted.

This tribe is not decreasing in number, the births fully equaling the deaths. What we need is to cultivate _individuality_; to treat the Indians as men and women, not as parts of a tribe; to allot lands in severalty, giving them titles to their homes.

In place of our usual communication from Superintendent Pond, which he has not been able to send us, on account of special pressure in his work, we reprint from a California paper the following article by Rev. Dr. M. C. Briggs, one of the leading men in the Methodist Episcopal denomination in California. It embodies very important truth in a most sprightly and incisive style.—[ED’S AM. MISS.]

CHINAPHOBIA.

“Bring me to the test, and I the matter will re-word that madness gambols at.” This sentence from Shakspeare (I hope it is correctly quoted) is the sole partition between our Assemblymen and a charge of confirmed monomania. All roads lead to Paris, and all subjects of discussion lead these astute Solons to John Chinaman. To assert your philanthropy, curse the Chinese. To prove your patriotism, denounce the Chinese. To abate land monopoly, abuse the Chinese. To eradicate the social evil, grow furious over the Chinese. To regulate finances, tax the Chinese. To quell incendiary mobs, displace the Chinese, and put ruffians in their stead. To pass the Bland bill, expel the Chinese. To effect resumption, crucify the Chinese. To ensure commercial prosperity, exclude forever the Chinese. To show your faith in the Declaration of Independence, levy a high tariff on the bones of the Chinese. To reclaim our swamp lands, howl at the Chinese. To encourage citizens to furnish free meals for white tramps, who refuse to work at any price, drive out from our kitchens the Chinese, who to-day receive higher wages than white men and women are getting in any State east of the Rocky Mountains. To show yourself a hero, hurl brickbats at the Chinese. From whatever point of the political or moral compass these broad and eloquent men set out, they are sure to end with a stereotyped spasm on the stereotyped topic—the infernal Chinese. Such untiring repetitiousness grows stale, and one almost wishes that the “nigger” or the Hottentot, or any human being without a vote, would appear on the political tapis, to offer leather-lunged demagogueism a chance for variety, and the weary ears of the people a rest. Nasby’s patent question, “If the nigger is set free, whom will the Democrats find to look down on?” has been answered to the glory and delectation of both the old parties, and, pre-eminently, of the new party, which has nothing American about it save whisky and brag.

The republic is sick. It has gastric fever, gout, goitre, gangrene, scrofula, sciatica, croup, consumption, ophthalmia, vertigo, small-pox, and cholera. It has eaten too much, drank too much, danced too much, flirted too much, smoked too much, gambled too much, run riot in frivolity, gone mad in greed, flaunted its pageantry of pride, coveted, lusted, blasphemed, forsaken God, despised religion, loved leasing, and hated honest toil, with its health-giving frugality and slow but solid gains. Poor patient! It needs skilful treatment; and what will these queer doctors do? Why, they propose to force emetics and drastics down the throats of ever so many Chinamen. If the case were not so serious, it would be infinitely funny. The patient has brain fever. Kick the Chinaman. It has palpitation. Cuff the Chinaman. It is shaking with chills from Maine to Mexico. Pull the pigtails of the Chinaman. Banks are breaking in New York. Set the dogs on the Chinamen. Mercantile houses are tumbling into ruins in Massachusetts. Arrest the Chinaman on suspicion. Finances are deranged, and Congress is quarreling over resumption. Shoot the Chinamen. The South needs pacification. Cut the throats of the Chinamen. Industry flags everywhere. Get up processions, and raid on the wash-houses of the Chinamen. Wages are six bits a day, without board, in the Eastern States. Banish the Chinamen from California forever and forever. Hurrah!!

There was once a doctor who was “death on burns.” These gentlemen are not a whit behind him, only their specialty, into which they resolve all wounds and diseases, is the Chinese pest, _alias_ the Asiatic nuisance, _alias_ the Cooly invasion, _alias_ the cheap-labor plague of the Pacific Coast.

What repose it gives a State to have wise and just men at the helm of affairs! This epidemic rage—as unstatesmanlike as it is unphilanthropic—so prevalent in the halls of legislation just now, merits the sarcasm of a Lord Brougham. Yet I accord to our Representatives a fair measure of good intentions. The Chinese have no votes, and are not patrons of the press; therefore, it is safe to denounce them. Besides, just now it promises to be a paying as well as a perilless pastime. The rioters have ballots in their hands. “Pathric” counts one (sometimes two or ten) at the polls; and who will defend John? “Pathric” does not care to remember that he was threatened with expulsion on similar grounds, and with equally cogent reasons, in the bygone. It will be well for him to recall the fact; for when once the principle of discrimination is incorporated into the policy of the nation, the bolt that hits John to-day may chance to strike some one else to-morrow. When caste and caprice usurp the place of justice and humanity, every man will thenceforth hold life, liberty and property by sufferance of the mob. It is natural to the weak side of public men, to court the voters’ favor. Not many politicians are tall enough to look over the heads of stump orators and bannered agitators. Has the good God no taller men to send us for these agitated times?

AN OLD-TIME PRAYER MEETING.

Among the many things which I have observed is the singular form of worship which the colored people practice here. While at Hampton last term, I read Livingstone’s book about Africa. Some of the religious customs related in that volume have certainly been brought over by our forefathers, and are in this enlightened land found mingled with the true religion. The great belief which our people have in conjuration, (or “throwing for each other,” as they call it) signs, and the returning of departed spirits, confirm the above opinion. Not long ago I went to one of their meetings. It was held in a little church about twenty-two or twenty-three feet long, and twelve feet wide, with three windows, which have shutters of plank, through which, when shut, little or no air can pass. In the middle of the floor sits a large stove in which a very hot fire was kept during the meeting. The preacher was to have come that night, but for some reason he disappointed them. His absence, however, did not prevent their having an “Old-time prayer-meeting,” as they call it. So, after waiting for some time for their pastor to arrive, they commenced the meeting by singing a hymn, given out by one called “the leader of the band.” Prayer and a short exhortation came next. Indeed, these two parts of the opening exercises were well performed by a young man. But, in the scene which followed his excellent prayer and advice, he (though somewhat intelligent) was one of the chief actors. One or two more hymns were sung from the hymn-book. I heard some of the women say: “If those men don’t stop singing those dry tunes we’ll take our bonnets and go home.” By the women ceasing to sing, the men discovered that there was something going wrong. The “leader of the band” seems to have seen at a moment’s glance what caused the commotion, and immediately struck up the well-known “I, John, Saw.” The women now joined in; and the woods and hills rang with the resounding melodies of that music which has never known a teacher, but yet is wonderful and almost sublime. While this “shout” was being sung the men and women gathered around the stove, the men on one side and the women on the other. The church by this time had become full of people. One could not kneel down without leaning on some one else. All three of the windows were shut, and the shutters closed. A fire was in the stove. Soon a sickening feeling came over me, caused by the impure air which pervaded the place. I asked one who was standing near the window to please open it. “You want us to freeze, don’t you?” said he. I looked up, and, to my great satisfaction, found that the roof was full of holes, and I knew that hot air rises, so I said no more to the man about the window. The “leader” had now become too warm it seemed, for while we were at prayers he took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves, exclaiming at the same time, “Get ready, children, we are going to drive out the devil to-night!” The others, as soon as they saw him without a coat, immediately disrobed themselves of theirs. Had I expected to see such heathenism I am sure I would not have gone to the meeting. After this there came a tumult and excitement—women jumping among the men, men holding each other; some of the young girls uttering screams which really could have been heard a mile; and some tearing their clothes off without regard to womanly modesty. But what discouraged me most was to find among this seething mass some of my school-children. After the meeting was over, and all on our way home, a shameful fight came off between two of the leading shouters (females), about something which had been said during the meeting.

What shall I say, having seen such degrading things with my own eyes, (and I have not told the worst). All I can say is this: Let us work on with our might, and hope for better things. “For if God be for us, who can be against us?”

The Independent for 1879

Will have to be a VERY GOOD PAPER to satisfy the thousands of readers who have become familiar with its good qualities in the past. But we propose this year to excel the past. We shall continue to print articles from the best writers and thinkers in the country. The departments of Religious News, Literature, Sunday-school, Fine Arts, Science, Missions, School and College, Markets, Farm and Garden, Financial, and Insurance will, as heretofore, be contributed to by specialists in each branch. These departments are famous because they are able and trustworthy.

COOK’S LECTURES.

These famous Lectures, delivered in Boston every Monday, by the Rev. Joseph Cook, will be published in full, together with the Introductory Remarks, beginning in the issue of November 7th.

SERMONS

by eminent clergymen in all parts of the country will continue to be printed.

PREMIUMS.

We offer Rev. Joseph Cook’s valuable new volumes, entitled “BIOLOGY”, “TRANSCENDENTALISM” and “ORTHODOXY,” embodying, in a revised and corrected form, the author’s last winter’s remarkable Monday Lectures. They are published in handsome book form, with colored illustrations, by James R. Osgood & Co., of Boston. We will mail a copy of either volume, postpaid, to any subscriber to THE INDEPENDENT who remits us $3.00 for a year in advance; or any Subscriber may remit $5.50, and we will send him THE INDEPENDENT for two years, in advance, and two volumes, postpaid; or, for $8.00, we will send THE INDEPENDENT to any one subscriber for three years, in advance, and the three volumes.

WORCESTER’S UNABRIDGED PICTORIAL DICTIONARY.

Bound in Sheep, 1854 pages, over 1000 Illustrations Issue of 1878

We have made a special contract with the great publishing house of J. B. Lippincott & Co., of Philadelphia, by which we are enabled to offer the most desirable Premium ever given by us or any other newspaper in the country. We will send this =Dictionary= to any person who will send us the names of =Three New Subscribers and Nine Dollars=; or who will, on renewing his own subscription, in advance, send us =Two New Names= additional and $9.00; or who will renew his own subscription for three years, in advance, and send us $9.00; or for a new subscriber for three years and $9.00.

The regular price of the =Dictionary= alone at all the bookstores is $10.00, while the lowest price of three subscriptions is $9.00. Both the =Dictionary and the three Subscriptions=, under this extraordinary offer, can, therefore, be had =together= for only $9.00. The =Dictionary= will be delivered at our office, or in Philadelphia, free, or be sent by express or otherwise, as may be ordered, at the expense of the subscriber.

The subscriber under this offer will not be entitled to any other Premium.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, — $3.00 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

Including any one of the following Premiums:

Any one volume of the “=Household Edition of Charles Dickens’s Works=,” bound in cloth, with 16 Illustrations each, by Sol Eytinge.
