THE INDIANS,
Report Of the Conimissioner of Indian
Affairs,


Affairs.
WARRINGTON, d. C., Oct. 26.-The report
OF tn commissioner of 1udsn affairs for the
last fiscal year says it is gratifying to And
lha' not only has no backward step been
taSen in the march OF improvement among
the Indians, but that some decided advan &C
has been made. Particularly is this true In
the matter o. industrial school education
Among the things needed to secure success
and efficiency in solving the Indian problem
are: An appropriation to survey out the
boundaries OF the Indian reservations SO the
Indians and white men may know they have
rights aud where they have none; law for
the punishment OF persons who furnish arms
or ammunition to the Indians, more liberal
appropriations for Indian police an appro-
prialiOn sufficient to defray the expense of
detecting and prosecuting persons who
furnish liquor TO the Indians. Under
the existing laws ale, beer and alcoholic slim
uants disguised rs medicines arc sold at mill
tary posts TO soldiers and civilians, and al
though the post traGer5 are not permitted to
sell IT directly to Indians yet 1t is easy for
the ln1ans u Obtain it. The punishments
imposed by statute should be more severe in |
view OF the fact that some courts are tender |
hearted when sentence is to be pronounced on |
the wretch who furnishes liquor TO the In |
dams Under the present system of making |
appropriations for the Indian service and |
the rulings Of the accounting officers
this office is much embarrassed and much |
loss OF funds is occasoned II Congress
viii fix he amount to be expended for the
Indian service and leave the department to
distribute 1t as the wants of the service re-
qulte there will be great improvement on
the present manner OF doing business. The
commissioner says that in no case where the
allo ments of land in scvcralty have been
made to Indians and titles secured have any
other than the best results followed. The
bureau will adhere to the policy of alloting
lands wherever ii can be legally done and
III condition OF the Indian warrants il. The
attention Of Congress is invited to the neces-
sity OF legislation to enable the Indians to
make entrcf under the homestead law with
ont cost. The attention of Congress is
especially drawn TO the aggressive moye.
ments on Indian Territory lands as illustrat-
Ing the urgent necessity for speedy and
effective legislation in regard to trcspassers
During the year s145, 900 was paid to Iu-
dlans us annuity and otherwise.
Congress is urged to increase the appro-
prialiJns for schools. The commissioner
commcnds the work which is being done by
religious societies among the Indians and
says that in his opinion the best hope for the
Indian lies in bringing him into the closest
possible relations with these societies. ,,
