CHECKING INDIAN FRAuDs.-A rather
novel yet highly ingen.ns device for fix
ing the responsibility of their conduct
upon the Indians themselves more close
ly has been adopted by Gen. Crook.
commanding the Department Of Arizo-
na. HIS plan is to check the wards of
the nation like pieces of baggage. each
warrior carrying with him constantly a
metal check with his number and tribe
stamped thereon. The officer in charge
keeps record of each, with the number
of members of his family and descrip-
ton of him. In this way the Indian is
not only protected against the unscru-
pulous greed of the agents, but offenses
can be traced home to their authors
more readily; and as the issue of sup
plies is made in accordance with these
checks there is less chance of imposture
on one side and fraud on the other. 1t
would be we'll if all officials engaged in
the Indian service we're to have a poll:
cy that is so plain and the same time SO
ommendeble and sagacious in its
method. Gen. Crooks report shows
what can be accomplished even with
the Arache Indians, this worst of all
North American tribes. They are be-
coming SO far advanced, morally and
industrially, that the tribe is now at
least partially self. supporting.

When he had sold her, he put up oth-

when the crier had sold the bansomest,
he ordered the ugliest of all women to

thus tho finest women were sold, and
