The Peace Policy.

The President transmitted TO Congress Thursday
the annual report Of the Iudian Commissioners
for the year 1881 The report Is vOluminous and
deals with various important questions connected
with Indian government. Respecting the peaceful
attitude and industrial progress of the Indians
generally, the report says that with the excep-
ii on of the disturbance in New Mexico and
Arizona, caused by u small band of roam
ing Apachcs, the Indians have continued
peaceful, and have made commcndnblo progress
In various pursuits of industry The results of In.
dian labor during the past twelve years, since the
beginning of the peace policy, the board says,
show an Increase of the products of The soil by
Indian labor of nearly twclveiod aud at this
rate Of progress It is confidently predicted that the
time is not far distant when ali semi civilized In
dams will be gelf-supportng, ana the few tribes
that remain wild ndsavage will soon follow their
example. The Indian, the report says,
has no more natural right to live with
ont work thRn the white man, though, as Il
temporary expedient, II is cheaper to feed him
than TO fight him. The board earnestly renew
their recommendations of past years in favor of
granting lands In seyeralty to Indians The re-
ports speaks of the good ACCOMPLISHED by the
training for Indian children, and urge the
establishment of more.

A novel abuse of the mails hussprung up within
a few years. 1t appears that business men having
large numbers Of circulars TO distribute have
made practice Of having this work done by con-
tract by parties who make specially Of folding
and mailing these circulars at figure much be-
low the usual cost An investigation instituted by
the postal officers showed that these parties had en-
tered into arrangements with certain post
masters Of small Offices whereby in consldera-
ton Of q division OF tho percentage on matter
mailed to which the postmaster is entitled, the
matter would be mailed at his Office. In the
vicinity of New York and Boston there are many
such Offices, which have been, or soon will be,
raised TO the rank of Presidential offices II this
practice Is continued. AS the circulars could be
mailed at the principal offices without cost to the
Government, the Postmaster-G General, after
u careful consideration of the subject, has
issued circular TO postmasters, which states that
while the public have a right to choose the
office at which to do their mailing, the postmaster
is forbidden TO solicit the mailing at his office
rather than at another office. A violation of this
order will be considered as cause for removal.
Even IL such business comes to an Office withoutthe
solicitation of the postmaster in order TO protect
the interests Of the Government such officer Will
be removed.
