As to the general charge of dis-
honesty. and imiuurality c.u.the part
" of Indian agents and other officials
in the N o.u.h-west, a mass of testi-
mony, overwhelming in its colielu-
eiveness, is available. • This testi-
mony is contributed by. Ilaissi011ary
and other clergymen long resident
iii, the • country ; by sottlets, by
journals, some of them. politically
opposed to the present Doiiiuion
Government, and by departmental
officials. The Rev. Alfred Andrews,
?Methodist minister at Lethbridge, •
writes from tlftlatt place, under date
March 2611, as follows
.By the request of the President of
the Manitoba Conference 1 am here
located, in the interests of our Meth
()dist Church. This has Lrought me-
eowewhat into association writ' the
Blood and Piegan Indians. I have
visited some of their lodges and con•
versed with them through an inter
preter. A fortnight ago 1 Went with
our Blies°unary, Rev., John McLean,
to his Mission among the Bloods on
their. reserve and remained a week ' 1
there,visiting the middle and upper
agencies under Mr. Poeklington's
supervision. I must say what 1 saw
was very creclitahle indeed to the
Government. You can therefore
understand tray feelings, on reading
while there the 6/Om's editorial on
the Rev. fir. Robertson's sermon (de-
- livered last month tteettawti on stare•
nag Indians in the Nerth west. I
have written an neitcle to the G/o&e
denying his strictures,.

to Mr. Reed, Mittel: 3, 1886. --
As there appears to be an errone-
etttir idea., abroad as to frauds keine,
perp•etrateel by faidfan Department

missionary among the Indians of
this district for the past three years,
beg to state that during. such time 1
never had any suspicion of fraud on
the part of tire oflieials of this dis
trim, but always looked on them as
honest and u,u'igha then. For the
past few months I have been more
rnrnediately 'connected with the
Piegan reseeve,_and in HO fer as 1
know, the wren thereon are not
chargeable with- having immoral
