WARDS OF THE NATION"

The annual report of the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs is filed with suggestions worthy
of the serious attention of serious statesmen.
The first salient feature is that these wards
of the Nation are not diminishing in number.
There are probably about as many Of them as
there were IN the days of Raleigh and Smith.
Certainly in the last thirty years there has
been no material decrease, and as those years
comprise some Of the worst in all the story of
our dealings with them it seems reasonable to
conclude that there will henceforth be no
diminution Of their numbers and that they
are to be regarded permanent factor in
the problem Of our National life.
The question then arises what shall be done
with them Doubtless the Nation is able to
maintain them as It's wards and dependents.
The Treasury already contains more than $685.
100000 on deposit to their credit, and in ad-
dition to the income from that the United
States is rich enough to add yearly a sum
sufficient to supply them with blankets and
bullocks. OF course, ii has got to do so if it
persists In keeping them upon non-agricultura
reservations, on which there Is not enough game
to feed them But that would mean permanent
pauperization, and, though they are few COM
pared with the rest Of Us, yet body Of 26S00O
professional paupers Is not lightly to be created
even in a nation Of 100000. Payment Of
cash annuities is still worse; It adds corrup-
ton to pauperization And under either system
of rations Of annuities progress toward in
dustrtal self-support is sure to be slow
The hopeful feature Of the report is that
of the more than $1O000000 a year spent for
the Indians, about one-third Is for education
The Government maintains $50 schools proyid-
| ing accommodations for 10000 of the 81 600
| eligible children. and the enrolment and at
tendance are steadily and rapidly increasing
| The recommendation is offered that education
should be made compulsory upon all Indians of
! suitable age, which certainly seems reasonable
and wise. Then the educa ted-and always in
| dustrially educated-Indian should be given 10
understand that he must earn his own living
and make his own way in the world with cit-
zenship and all its opportunities open before
| him. The Indians who have not been educated
/ and are now too old to go to school should re-
ceiye rations or cash only in return for labor
performed, excepting, of course. the aged and
invalid who are proper objects of bounty.
These recommendations are logical and have
/ the courage Of faith in civilization 1t is be-
lieved. moreover, that experience has largely
| demonstrated their practicability and wisdom.
Despite all that has been said to the contrary
and despite some discouraging incidents the
capability OF the Indian for civilization has IN
numerous cases been demonstrated II would
/ be strange reproach to civilization IT, with
/ honest dealing and honest effort these 26S 600
Indians could not be brought into substantial
! sympathy and harmony with the 10000 OoO
who surround them It is a renroach m hu
mantty to say that any race or tribe Is not sus-
! cept1be to the influences of civilization.

about doubling the average for the three pre-
ceding Octobers and showing a gain Of 200 per
cent over September While the quantity was
greater than in any month since December
1898. there were a number of months in earlier
years when the October total of 1,211,2S4 bales
was exceeded. The great gain in value Is ex-
planned by the high price. which averaged SS
cents a pound, against cents in the previous
october. Prior to 1891 the present price was
often exceeded. but during the nine years ending
with 1899 the average export price was 10

FEEDING TEE FIGHTING MEN.

An emergency raticn has been tested with
success in the West In the last few days Amer
lean soldiers marching no less than twenty-five
miles a day, bearing their fahgues bravely
and holding their physical condition amazingly
we'll with the food which was supplied them In
this trial This ration was composed In part
of meat and meal ground exceeding fine and
combined by A new process. Chocolate was
also an element in the nutrition supplied TO
the soldiers. Experiments of this sort are
arousing marked interest In the war depart
ments of several Of the foremost nations In
the South African war it was found that the
men bore the tension of long marches and the
heaviest burdens Of the campaign more sturdily
and with diminished injury and weakness
when they were not deprived Of tobacco. Their
pipes lengthened their endurance. lessened their
pains and aches raised their spirits, consoled
and comforted them In their darkest and hard
est hours. and proved in fact to be substan-
TALLY and variously useful
Only the extreme and unreasonable enemies
of Lady Nicotine now doubt that an army de-
prived Of tobacco is deprived Of an aid to its
efficiency. Coffee and tobacco may readily be
dispensed with by the followers Of the quiet
life whose pursuits are sedentary, and who
are never summoned to encounter serious strain
and stress, but men who do the fighting in
this day and generation cannot be expected to
grapple with the rudest and harshest of require
ments without the brown berry Of Brazil or the
fragrant incense Of Connecticut
In all seriousness. the study Of what soldiers
need in order to be most useful to the flags
under which ghey march and fight is enlisting
the jealous devotion Of minds Of wide scope and
high endeavor In many lands. Some experts
hold that tea may supplant coffee to advan-
tage in army allotments. The tendency Of
opinion now seems to be that sugar In various
preparations and combinations is almost indis
pensable to maintain the vital force Of cavalry,
infantry and artillery. In no generation since
the first clash of arms was heard upon this
little planet have so many intelects of truly
scientific calibre and equipment been actively
at work the problem Of feeding armies in
such ways as to secure the extreme Of efficiency.
