Indians are now taught how to manage farms,
how to conduct stockraisiug, they are
taught the principles OF the simpler indus
trial and mechanical arts, and with all this
practical instruction is mingled the ordinary
branches of common school education. Day
and boarding schools have been established
on many of the reservations and training
schools at outside points. More than oooo
pupils have attended the agency schools dur
ing the past year, and Gal have been enroll
cd at the three training schools, where prac
tical instruction is given in the industrial and
mechanical arts Some Of the tribes who
have hitherto held out against ali the ad-
vanccs of the government, arc sending their
youth to these training schools.
The success of these Indian schools would
seem to warrant larger appropriation for car
rying them on. As yet, they are
little more than an experiment, for
the simple reason that the necessary
funds are lacking to extend their
advantages. Commissioner Price, in his an
nual report, urges upon Congress the advis-
ability of making ample provision for them
and we certainly hope that 1t will seem best
to our Legislators to do so. The country is
most fortunate in having such man as
Commissioner Price at the head Of the Indian
Bureau. lie is a thoroughly earnest, honest,

The Democratic Majority Sma1lNCarr
Elected "A Republican Legislature.

ALBANY, Nov. THE Argus estimates
that the Democratic State ticket, except the
candidate for secretary of state l. IL. May
nard, is elected by 10000 majority. The
successful Democratic candidates are
Comptroller, Alfred G. Chaplin; State treasu-
rer, Robert A. Maxwell engineer and sur
veyor, Elnaiham Sweet attorney. general,
Denis O'Brien. The Republicans elect Gen.
Joseph B. Carr secretary Of state by about
10, 900 majority an,l have majority Of the
Senate and Assembly.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE Sun estimates
Cars majority at 10000 to Is 900. Max
well, for state treasurer, it says, lags behind
his ticket in the Western part of the State
but probably pulls through. The State SEN
ate stands 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats
The Tribune estimates Carrs plurality in the
State at over 10000, and says the balance of
the Republican State ticket apparently lack
only from 1000 10 G000 OF election. 1t says
ocrats, and the House "a Republicans and "a
Democrats.
The official count for mayor of Brooklyn
shows that Seth Low. Rep, has 40, 702 and
Hendrix, Dcm,, 1890. Lows majority is
1882.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov 1.-THE returns
from several of the outlying towns are still
incomplete but nothing has been given to
materially alter the figures of last night as to
the general result. Maynard runs behind
his ticket about 1000 and the rest of the
Republican ticket is elected In the city by
about $500. The county returns will proba-
bly, show Republican majority of about
1000, except Carr whose majority will range
about $500.
The following are the results for the
Assembly, First district, Donohuc, DEM,
elected by majority of 2000 Second dis
trct, Seipp, Republican, 500 majority
Third district, Clifton, Republican, $500
majority. Fourth district Jackson, Dem,
$50 majority. Fifth district, d. j. Wilcox,
Dem, $40 majority. Tituss majority for
the Senate is safely placed at 800. Jonathan
Scoville is probably elected by $50.
The Republican candidate claims fraud in
several of the districts and an investigation
it is believed will be instituted. The con-
tending factions are very much excited over
the results and the air is full Of rumors. Full
returns it is believed will be in by to-mor.

THE ELECTIONS.

The result Of Tues lays elections was on
the whole eminently favorable for the Re-
publcans. New York, where last year
there was majority of two bundled
thousand votes for the Democratic
ticket, now passes into the list Of
doubtful S,a'es. AS nearly as can be
learned at the moment OF writing only a art
OF the Democratic State tickle, is elected, AID
this by majority of only about fifteen
thousand at the highest. The lila lrity for
some of the names on it is less, and the
leading candidate on it, Mr.. Maynard is
defeated. This, at the best, is u loss OF
more than one hundred and scvcnty-hre
thousand votes from the Democratic MAORI
y on the State ticket last year. A strong
Republican majority is elected in the 5 mate
(which is now Democra,lc) and the
Assembly is in doubt, with chances
favoring small Republican major
ity there. The present Assembly Demo
cratic by nearly two-thirds majority in II
total of one hundred and twenty-eight. The
campaign was an exceedingly quiet one, and
the Republican gain was made almost without
an effort. Surely the result eau not he con-
sidered otherwise than as very encouraging
In Connecticut the Republicans made
large gains. In Massachusetts the slucch-
ing of Butler was a magnificent triumph.
In Maryland the Republicans made hand
some gains. From Virginia, Nebraska,
Minnesota and the rest We have a.
this moment no definite returns. From
Mississippi comes the familiar report of a
sweeping Democratic victory Pennsyl.
vania once more takes Its place in the Repub-
can column. Last year it was overwhelm-
ingly Democratic.
In summing up the result, til. Tribune
well says that the result makes Republican
success possible in the next Presidential con-
test. If New York, Massachusetts and Pen
sylvania had all followed OHIO in going Dem.
ccratic this Fall, few would have been hope
full enough to believe that so overwhelming
currcat could have been turned back in a
single year. Now everybody can see that
fighting ground is left that the Republicans
can fairly hope by good conduct and good
fortune to carry every State they had in
1850; and that, as against party so prone to
blundcr and with so many chances to blum.
der as the Democrats, their prospect for car.
rying enough of them is more than fair.

Tammany Jared very i'll, in the New York
municipa election. 1t elected only one Sen
ator, but six or seven aldermen against
eleven last year,, and it loses three Assem-

throughout the city there was the most
shameless dealing and trading on the part of
Tammany Hall, the local leaders selling out
the Democratic State and county candidates
wherever it was possible to gain vote for
alderman. This trickcry cost the Democrat

The second auditor of tie treasury makes
the excellent recommen lation that n statute

Of the National treasury. The Government
is swindled out, large amounts every year by
fraudulent claims growing out.of the war, and
the opportunities for cheating grow with the
lapse Of time. TIE auditor advises thu pas
sage Of law providing that all such claims
shall be ruled out unless presented within n
certain time, say one or t"o years. No
honest claimant could reasonably object to
such limitation, and Congress should not
fail to pass the needed law.

THE NEW INDIAN POLICY

Those who are at all interested in the In.
dian question, must have remarked with
satisfaction the general success of the prcs.
ent policy employed by the government to.
ward this class of its subjects. Indian
troubles OF serious nature have not dis
turbed the public mind for a long time.
Win the exception of the trouble with the
Apaches on the Mexican border, we are not
aware that there has been anything during
the past year calling for 1.-THE armed interior
ence OF the United States government. On
the contrary, the most peaceful and even
cordial relations have been maintained be-
tween the Indian commissioners and their
wards-a state of things hitherto almost
unparalleled in the history of the depart
ment.
The reason for this undoubtedly lies in the
TACT that there has been distinct change of
policy in the Indian department. The old
policy OF supporting the nations wards in
idleness-a poor support and poor policy
has been abandoned, and more reasonable
system adopted. Under the old system, the
Indians Jared so poorly that we can hardly
wonder at their lawessness The agents
who were appointed to dole out 10 them their
gratuitous stores were, for the most part, un.
principled rascals, who made the most OF their
opportunities to defraud the poor savage,
and fill their own pockets with the proceeds
OF the government supplies. Very frequently
whole tribes OF Indians were reduced to such
state OF helpless independence by this sys
ten OF government support, as to be entirely
at the mercy OF the Indian agents. Some
times the unfaithfulness of the latter brougb,
their wards to the very verge of starvation,
and it was only by leaving their reservations
and committing robbery and devastation
among the white settlers that they could Sc
cure food and clothing enough 10 keen
themselves alive. 1t is not to be wonder.
cd at, that this sort Of treatment at the
hands, as they supposed, Of the government,
made them vindictivc and revcngcful
and induced them to take every
opportunity to redress their wrongs by force.
Happily, this condition of things is now
chanSeu. Inc government no longer pro-
ceeds upon the policy of treating the Indians
as helpless and useless subjects. The basis
OF lis present policy is the fact that the In
dian is citizen of the United States, and
must fulfil, 60 far as possible. the duties of
citizenship. lie is not an alien nor pau.
per, and there is not particle more reason
for supporting him in dleness than for sun-
porting the negro or the Chinamau. Accord
ingly, the Indian is now told that
he must do something to support him
self, and that II he docs, he shall
have full credit for his industry. The aim Of
those in charge OF the Indian department is
to render their wards capable Of self-support
by instructing them in those occupations Of
civilized life to which they are fitted. The
