As to the general cllarge of dis-
honesty and immorality on the part
of I1lrlian agents.and other officials
f'u the N o.it1i-wet, a mass of testi-
ninny, overwhelming in its conclu-
siveness, is available. This testi-
xtony is contributed by missionary
' and other clergymen long resident
111 the country ; by settler's,, -by
,journals, swim' of them politically
unposed to the preseut Dominion
Government, and by departmental
officials. The 1' 'v. Alfred Andrews,
, Methodist minister at Lethbridge,
writes front that place, under date
March 26th, as follows
By the request of the President of
the Manitoba Conference 1 ani here -

somewhat into association with the

our miss'onar;y, Rev. John McLean,
to his Mission among the Bloods on
their reserve and remained a week
•t here, visiting •the middle and upper
agencies under Mr. Pocklington's
supervision. I must say what 1 aaw
was very crerlitehle indeed to the
Government. You can therefore

Theo Rev. Leon D'otteet in a st,atu-
tory• declaration made before Mr.
Assistant Commissioner Reed on
the 18th Febi'uary, 1886, said :
1. I .have resided on the Iliackfoot'
reserve most of the. ,tinie since the
early part of 1853.
2.. '('hat I never had any snspiciou
of any 1'raudirlent transaction between
any of the employes and the contlae,
tors with the vietia' of defrauding the
Government or the Indians.
-3. That I have never , heard' any
enlnplaints from the Indians as to
their being defrauded by the em
ployes.
'1'11.0 Rev. J. N. 'hiins, on Black-
foot Heserve, wrote to Mr. hued as
follows:
. With regard' to our conversation
this morning allow me to state that
during my ' residence of two' and a
hall years amongst tiie North Black -
feet as an ordained missionary of the
English Church, i have had no know-
ledge whatever of frauds committed
by the employes of the Indian De-
pattrneut, either against the Govern
tient by conspiring with, the con
tractors, tip against the Indians by
disposing of the beef and (fool• in any
other way than to the Indians tlhen,
selves. -
The Rev. H. T. Bourne, of the
Blood and Piegan reserves, writes
to Mr. Reed, Mai'ch 3, 1886 --
As there appears to he an errone4
nus ialea., abroad as to frauds being
perpetrates] by I:inlian Depaitwent
officials, I, as a church of _England
missionary ainoug the Indians of
this district for the past three years,
heg'to state that during.such time 1
never had any suspicion of fraud on
• the part of the- officials of this alis
triol, but always looked on them as
honest and upright teen. For the
past few months 1 have been more
immediately connected with the
Piegan reserve, and in so for as I
know, the wen thereon are 1101
chargeable with (having immoral
Intercourse with Indian women,
'Phos. E. Glipsham, Methodist
�lissiou teacher, writes en. March .3,
1386
i have been a mission teacher' on
the Blood reserve for about a year
and a hall', and hereby certify that I
know nothing and have never beard
of anything to lead me to suspect
that any fraud has been practised by
the Indian Depa1'tmAnt employes on
sald•.reseevation, and 1 know of noth
Mg to least the to the belief that
there is any illicit intercourse exist•
ing between' the employes and the
Indian women.
Father Lacomiic, the oldest flared.
certainty one of the hest authorities
en the subject of the Indians in the
North-West writes to the Commis -

sioner, 2nd April,,1886, as fullows :
"Let the Indians alone with the
Guveruluent officers appointee) to
look after their welfare and there
will be no trouble with tlieiu." OD
the 22nd of February, 1884, he had
written : "Of course they know
