Robbers of Indians

OMAHA. Neb., Feb. 1s.--The Bee tonight
says: 1T given out at the Omaha
federal building to-day that in future Ne
braska Indians are to be paid their an
nuities in cash instead of the customary
supplies Of blankets, groceries, etc This
is said to be the result of the thieving per-
petrated the Indians by traders who
secure their supplies for nothing. 1t is be-
Heved this system will apply throughout
the entire West. The recent indictment OF
three men who bought cattle from the
Winnebagoes for a trfe and sold the steers
at Il handsome profit has opened the eyes
of the government to the fact that they
are but a few of the big ring of tricksters
who have BEEN cheating the Indians for
years. and a radical change was resolved
on. Hence the subject of paying the In
dams money and allowing them to buy their
clothing and supplies wherever they wish
has been revived and is said to have met
tire approval of federal officials. Under
the present method the laws restrict In
dams from selling or trading their sup
plies on a reservation, but they are at
liberty TO dispose of them with impunity
if the bargain is made off reservation soil
Many white land sharks always on the
alert to snap UP such chances. 1t is not
an uncommon occurrence for the latter To
get a new blanket. suit of clothes and a
pair of boots from Indian on 'distribu-
ton day for 81. Grocers and traders also
seize the opportunity, and there is one in
stance where an Indian traded his entire
outfit for sixteen pounds OF eIpwn sugar.

The official train records show that In the
week ending Feb. 16 there were received and
forwarded at Indianapolis S04 more loaded
cars than in the week ending Feb. 9, and
1.725 more were handled than in the cor
responding week OF 1894. Still, the move
ment was not as heavy as in December or
January. The increase of last week was all
made in the last three days of the week,
when the weather began to become milder.
During the severe cold weather five to eight
fewer loaded cars were handled to the train.
which makes a great difference in loaded
car movement on a system like the Penn
sylvania or the Big Four. Freight men
agree that there is no lack of freights to
move, nor has there been with indianapolis
lines in the past six months. The large
West-bound movement of empty cars is
evidence that the roads are getting into
shape to handle the business promptly when
weather conditions are favorable. East
bound the shipments OF grain are much
heavier than last month, and the shipments
of flour and provisions are largely in excess
of January. Shipments of provisions are
unusually large from Indianapolis, and the
through business of this class from St. Louis
and Kansas City is heavy beyond precedent.
Shipments of live stock, both for Eastern
markets and for exports, are lighter than
in either of the preceding four months. Some

ment that he would stand up and vote oral

isn't politics. l would like for some of these
writer's to explain what he means by poll
tics. More than this: The history of
Democratic politics in the State of Indiana
plainly teaches any sane observer that if
the Republican party doesn't make this
change now the Democratic party will take
advantage of it the first opportunity they
have and turn it to their advantage. But,
aside from all politics. it is just, and right,
and logical that the county superintendent
should be elected by the trustees whom he
expects to serve, and not by Il set of trus-
tees just going out of office, and who have
no further concern about the welfare of
