cussing the question of the successor
of Mr.. Herman in the United States
senate. His term expires IN March

which is largely republican, will have
to cleo his successor next winter. The
names lHost conspicuously mentioned
in connection with the office are those
of vice President William Wheeler
Levi r. Morton, Chauncey Dcpcw, and
Thomas c. Plat. Morton and Platt are
Conkling men, Dcpcw is an anti-Conk

THE annual report Of the Indian bureau
for 1880 has been completed 1t exhibits
continued steady advancement towards
civilization on the part of nearly II the
Indian tribes, and very remarkable pro-
gress in many instances, especially among
the OgallaIlas and Brule Sioux, in Dako-
Ia, and the Pacific coast Indians collected
at Iokima agency. The demands upon
the bureau by the Indians of a large ma
jority of agencies for implements with
which to enable them to perform manual
labor are far beyond the means at the dis
posal Of the department for that purpose.
The desire of the Indians to labor
il steadily growing and large
number are willing and anxious
to engage in civilized pursuits,
and the improvement in their manner of
putting in and caring for crops raised
the efforts of the past few years are grad
uslly bringing them to a self-supporting
condition. The number of Indians in the

direct control of the government agencies.
The civilized Indians now in tie territory

There are in round numbers 5000 lndi-
