THE INDIANS
Commissioner w. A. Jones Says
that the Present System is
Failure.
VERY ABLE ANNUAL REPORT
The Elevation OF Domestic Life
Most Important.

Milwaukee Free Press: w. A.
Jones, commissioner Of Indian af-
fairs ,in one of the most striking re-
ports%ever made to the secretary of
the interior, strongly but graphi-
cally condemns the present system
of Indian education.
He announces that in the last
twenty years fully $45,0O0,O00 have
been spent by the government for
the education of Indian pupils, and
it is a liberal estimate to put the num-
Der of those so educated at not over
10000. If the present rate is con-
tinued for another twenty years, he
declares that it will take over $70,-
100000 more.s
notwithstanding the govern
ment's outlay Of money for Indian
improvement, the commissioner in
sists that but little practical benefit
to the Indian has resulted. He says ::
"There are in operation at the
present time 113 boarding schools,
with an average attendance of some
thing over 1900 pupils, ranging from
5 to Il years of age. These pupils are
gathered from the cabin and the
tepee. Partly by cajolery and part
ly by bribery and partly by fraud,
partly by persuasion and partly by
force, they are induced to leave their
homes and kindred to enter these
schools and take upon themselves
the outward semblance of civilized
life. They are chosen not on account
of any particular merit of their own,
not by reason of mental fitness.
Without regard to their worldly con-
ditiOn, without any preparation
whatever, they are transported to
the schools, sometimes thousands Of
miles away, without the slightest ex-
pense of trouble to themselves or
their people.
1.-THE Indian youth finds himself
at once as if by magic translated
from state of poverty to one of
aff1uence. He is we'll fed and
comfortably clothed and lodged.
Books and all the accessories of
learning are given him and teachers
provide to instruct him. He is edu-

Coma backa." he called.
The monkey rapidly removed and
replaced a jaunty cap with a feather
thereon and blinked his beady eyes
with rapidity.
Twenty centa to see tha monka

assembled children. "Clima way

Straightway the little ones began
gathering in the money from parent
and companion. Finally the sum was
turned over to the wandering Organist.
'Jacka getta de tree, Vit!' He
pointed to a tall limb and shook the
cord.
Jacko obeyed, scrambling up the
tree trunk with meekness and dis.

The italian counted the coins he had
received and dropped them into his
pocket. ''Jacka the monka great ami

The children Were watching the

dressed them. He pointed an unclean
finger up at the animal and said: "Ten

didn't get it.

Marriage Endemic.

Servia is in trouble now with an
epidemic of marriages. The cause is
the system of marriage banks founded
as an encouragement to thrift, but
which have proved to have quite an
opposite effect. The young men and
maidens of Servia begin paying in to
these institutions at an early age on
the promise Of a premium on marriage.
Immediately a small sum has been ac-
cumulated the desire for marriage
grows overwhelming, with the result
that the first offer is snapped up. In
consequence, prematurely early and
unhappy marriages are general The
matter has now reached such lengths
that it is seriously troubling the gov
ernment, and the advisability Of abol-
ishing these banks, which are held to
be the root Of the evil, is being de-
bated.

Royalty and the Fire Department.

Princess Marie Of Denmark, who ex-
poets to visit America in the spring,
was the Princess d'Orleans, and is the
wife Of Prince Naldemar Of Denmark.

WOULD DIsFRANcnIsE NEGROES.
Outspoken Resolutions introduced in
Democratic Convention.

a special from Fredrick, Md,
says a sensation was sprung at the
democratic county convention
which began here Saturday morn
ing. II came in the nature Of
resolutions urging the disfranchise-
ment of the negro. They were
prepared by General V. l.. Baugh-
man, a democratic leader in the
state and a close friend of Senator
German. The resolutions were as
follows.
Resolved, That the voters Of
the state must decide this fact:
Whether or not the white men who
are actual residents Of Maryland
are r. 5velu, or whether, on the
other nobd, the political control Of
the commonwealth is to be regu
lated by the passions, the prejudice
and the ignorance of the irrespon.
sible, illiterate and lawless negroes,
who have no settled abode in our
midst, and who have no interest in
and are not concerned with the
welfare or prosperity of the com
monwealth. Our commercial and
industrial developments is closely
interviewer with good government,
and a good government depends in
a large measure upon wise, con-
servative and intelligent legislation
aud honest aud fearless execution
of the laws -
The nature of the speeches indi-
Gates clearly that the paramount
issue of the campaign in this coun-
ty this fall will be the negro vote.
