tai of $685., 900, to which $780, 40 in circu-
lating notes have been issued. The aggre-
gate capital of the various classes of banks

Secretary Schurz in his annual report
declares that of the 25O,OOO Indians in the
United States there have been since the paci-
fcation of the Sioux at no time more than 500
In hostile conflict with the whites. Neither
does it appear that such partial disturbances
have been provoked by the absence or pre-.
vented by the presence Of military force. Of
the four disturbances that have occurred with
In the last two years, three broke out
in the immediate presence of such
military force and only one without 1t. At
this moment band of 800 Utes and another
of about $50 Indian marauders in New Mexi-
co, in all less than 1000 of an Indian popula-
tiOn Of quarter of a million, are causing seri-
GUS trouble. In fact the number of white des-
peradoes who were within the past twelve
months banded together in New Mexico for
murder and rapine was larger than that of the
Indians recently on the warpath near the south
ern part Of the Territory. The Secretary claims
to have an Indian policy and says;
The ends steadily pursued by the Department
are the following: First, to set Indians to
work as agriculturists or herders, thus to
break up their habits of savage life and to
make them self-supportlng; second, to edu-
cate their youth of both sexes 80 as to intro
duce to the growing generation civilized ideas,
wants and aspirations; third, to allot parcels
of land to Indians severally, and to give them
individual title to their farms in fee ina
lienable for a certain period, thus to
foster the pride OF individual owner
ship of property instead of their former
dependence upon the tribe, with its territory
held in common; fourth, when settlement in
severalty with individual title is accomplished
to dispose, with their consent, of those lands
on their reservations which are not settled
and used by them, the proceeds to form
fund for their benefit, which win gradually re
neve the Government of the expenses at pres
ent provided for by annual appropriations;
fifth, when this is accomplished to treat the
Indians like other inhabitants of the United
States under the laws of the land.
