The Commissioner of
INDIAN AFFAIRS,
J. D. c. Atkins. has just completed his
annual report, showing the operations
of the Indian Bureau during the past
fiscal year. He begins by calling atten-
ton to the unmistakeable evidences OF
progress made by many tribes, and
saws: The excellent temper. subOrdina-
ton and general tranquility which,
with two or three exceptions, have
Everywhere prevailed is OF itself a
most suspicious omen of progress ;
many facts fully established the claim
that during the past year the Indian
race has taken a hrmer step IN the
march toward civilization than ever
before known in the same length of
time. The estimates for carrying on
the Indian service have been reduced
from 81, 32S, 049 In 1886, to $5,608,875 for
1887, and but for the increase OF
SIT 800 in the estimate for educational
work, the reduction would have been
greater. He expresses his conviction
that the proposition to throw open Ok
Iahama to white settlement would be an
experiment dangerous to all concerned.
II is. therefore, recommended as a
preliminary step, that Congress author
lie the department to appoint com
mission. who shall visit the Cheyennes
and Arapahoes, Wichitas and Kiowas,
Comanches and Apaches, in the Indian
Territory. to ascertain their views with
reference to the subject OF removal to
lands in said Territory east OF 50 de-
prees. The report saws that the imme-
date necessity for the establishment OF
q limited States district court within the
heart of the territory Of the i've civilized
nations. say Muskogee or Fort Gibson,
no longer admits of a doubt; the neces-
sity for legislation by Congress upon
the question of leasing the Indian lands
is also a subject Of remark. The COM
missioner refers to his instructions to
agents looking to the teaching to the
Indians how to farm, and says he IN
tends to see to it that they are fully
out. Of the necessity for an approprla-
: ton to defray the expense OF making q
census of the Indians. he says: = don !
, doubt that an accurate census would
show a decrease in the number OF INDIANS
: throughout the country, or at IeasI az
) taxing the census is inconsiderablew when
compared with the great saving 1t would
probably effect The saving IN TWO IN
stances Cheyenne and ArraPahoe ano

sum annually.
