CIVILIZING INDIANS.
Work of Evolution and Improvement
is Slow.
Cling to Their Old Traditions, Super
stitions and Ghost Dancing and
Incapable of Self Government.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The con.
dition of the Indians in OklahO-
ma Territory, together with their
advancement or deterioration since
the free admission of white men
among them, and the organization
OF the territory under government
control, will probably have consid-
cradle to do with the admission OF
the Indian Territory as state, or
the organization of the territory
directly under government control.
The state OF affairs makes the re-
cent reports OF Indian agents in
Oklahoma more than of ordinary
interest.
Capt. A. E. Woodson, Fifth cav
airy, acting agent of the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe agency, says the pro.
gress of those tribes toward Civili-
cation has been slow.
Though declared citizens, they
are SO only in name. They are not
ready to cope with their more as
tute white neighbors, and Of neces-
sity are greatly dependent on the
agent for advice and protection"
He also states that the In
dams take no interest in pol
itics, nor cared to exercise the
right Of franchise. Although
allOttments are taken, tribal rela-
tions are still maintained; and
even though the lands have been
allotted them in severalty, the
same old customs prevail; the
same old superstition and belief in
the efficiency OF the medicine men
marital relations, with plurality
OF wives, and the same inclinations
to idleness. with lack OF thrift
and industry.
However" Capt. Woodson says,
Indians is remarkable. Although
entirely surrouded and inter
mingled with whites, instances are
rare wherein they have been
guilty of criminal violation Of
existing statute?"
At Usage agency, Major H.
3. Freeman, Of the Six.
teenth infantry, does not think
there is much progress, although
the Osages regard themselves as a
great nation. He says crime, with
exception Of polygamy, is very rare,
and adds that they submit without
resistance to injustice from their
white neighbors.
j. p. Woolsey, in charge OF the
Ponca, Pawnee, OtOe and OklahO-
ma agency, has divided his report,
the different tribes varying. The
Poncas are making rapid progress;
the Pawnees do not do so well; the
Otoes are little better, though very
stubborn and given to "ghOst dane
ing" and others similar to it. They
oppose the allotments. He reports
very little moral improvement.
WOOlsey reports better state of
things at the Oklahoma sub
agency occupied by the TonkOWa
Indians. They have taken the
allOttments and want the lands
improved.
Edward Thomas, agent OF the
Sac and Fox agency, makes an un-
favorable report of the Indians
under his care. He sums up:
There has been a slow, but very
marked change for the better
among all Indians Of this agen-
cy."

The State Aid. and Grace or Cuckoo Dsmoc-
racy have found II impossible to get any
leaders in the districts below Fourteenth
street except liquor dealers They have
eumulated a complete assortment ofthese. but
they have no one else In any prominent eapac-
ity in the down-town districts. Here is the list
OF them corrected to date: Mahon and Good

Wild In the Second. John Heppenhagen In the
Third, Bait In the Fourth. Clancy In the Fifth.
Grote in the Sixth. Flegenheimer in the
Seventh. Hull and Johnny Martin In the Eight
Culkin In the Ninth. and Kunzenman In the
Tenth. The reason given by practical politi-
clans for this Is ingenious and probably aeeu-
rate: Men looking for political positions such
as are to be tlled in the Federal service are
liberal patrons of saloons which are conducted
by patronage dispensers. 1t pays them to be
generous. and frequently to treat the boys.
As a saloon run by State Aid or Cuckoo Dem
oeEacy district leader is the most certain place
for seeing him. and OF keeping ones claims in
his mind. the State Democracy leaders down
town have been overrun with customers am
bilious to serve Uncle Sam. and willing to
leave little spare change In the district lead
er's bar every night.
The municipal statesmen who have been
laboring asslduously for two years to build
up" the State Democracy without succeeding
in establishing an organization in any one of
the thirty assembly districts are ota dilstory
bent and are strongly opposed to anything
which smaeks of action. They believe that 1t
IL better to put on till tomorrow what you
