Indians.
The Hon. f. p. Smith. Commissioner Of In
dian Affairs, has made his report TO the
Secretary of the Interior lie discern. un-
mistakable evidences OF advancing civliza-
ton among almost all Of the aboriSines. At
agencies. Indians who, three
years ago. made no effort and showed ID III
clination toward labor or education -ecmIl y
to have settled into an earnest purpose to
learn to provide for themselves, and adept a
civilized Mode of life.
The Commissioner classifies the Indians
under three heads. for easier reference:
1. Wild; trsctatle o, ly to the extent of be-
ing willing to take rat:ons and blankets from
the government.
2. Indians actually undertaking labor. snd
accepting more or lass the assistance anddi-
rection Of government agents to this end.
3. Indians with landed estates.
The first class numbers, 80. 8i9; the secoad,
81. 1923 the third class about 100. 600. There
is also q fourth class OF Migrants, numbering
1900. This would make q total Of
255. 24S Indians now in the United States.
The Indians Of the first class are as yet III
by missionary influence, and he
superstitions Of their native Pagsnism fre-
1uently forbid their being counted for enrol
1t is from these Indians that
any such hostilities are to be appe-
hended as would require the presence
Or use Of tho military. Possibly only from
900 to 10000 Of these could be properly
designated rs hostile. and they are so sea-
tered and divided into bands that !: is not
that over 900 warriors will eva
again be mustered for a fight. The Commits
ioner thinks q general Indian war can never
recur in this country. Even the highly dis
.urbed feeling Of the Sioux lately has net led
70 an attempt at war. and military posts have
been successfully established at Red Cloud
Ind Spotted Tail agencies in the face Of vio-
declarations that 10 soldiers should ever
ross the Platte river. The Sioux hate to lore
heir coffee, sugar and beef by fighting. II
las alec been proven to be cheaper to feed
han to fight wild Indians. The Commissions
n ,deprecates any i~eniency in treating with
indian outrages. They should be punished
It all hazards. The necessity Of making war
IN the Comanches and Chevennes in the
Territory originated largely III q failure
observe this rule. The military force sta
Toned around and among these wild Indians IL
sufficient for their restraint, and it is
confidently believed tina. thir class will dimin-
in number year by year.
