NEW INDIAN POLICY.
An Attempt to Make the Red Man
Work for His Living.
Agents Ordered to Discourage the Custom,
of the Indians Wearing Their Hair Long
and Painting Themselves-Ths
Money They Have Cost.

Washington, Nov. 22.lCommis-
sioner of Indian Affairs Jones, in
his annual report, estimates that the
government, from its foundation to
1890, spent SS45, 275,29O in fighting,
| subduing and controlling the Indians
of the country and $24O. 0oo, 900 for
the education and care of their chill
| dren.
1.-THE extent and demoralizing eff
fects of the ration system evil" says
the commissioner in explaining his
policy of abolishing the system,
''were generally recognized and uni
versally condemned, except, per-
haps, by a mistaken philanthropy,
which, ignoring the natural law that
man must earn his living by the
sweat of his brow, would exempt
the Indian from labor and carry him
upward on f1owery beds of ease. 1t
was felt that it was time for a
change. Heretofore dealing has been
with the tribe; it is now with the in
dividual. His manhood is appealed
to and he is to be taught self-reliance
and self-respect, and to put his hand
to the pillow if he would work. Moth
ing is further from the truth than
the assertion that the plan is to hire
out adult male Indians as contract
laborers. The results of the policy
have been favorable even beyond eN-
pectations and there is every reason
to believe that the final success of
the plan, if carried out judiciously,
is assured. AS first result over 49,
600 have been dropped from the ra-
ton roll, being wholly self-support-
ing. AS a second result a large num-
Der of Indians have been put to work,
or work has been found for them"
Concerning the order directing the
agents to encourage the discontin-
ance of the Indians custom of wear
ing long hair, painting, etc. Mr..
Jones says the reports on the sub
ject by the agents are all in and
that the concensus of opinion eS-
pressed is s'that it is a step forward
and in the right direction"
The report advocates that agen-
cies and portions of agencies be
placed under the charge of bonded
superintendent of training schools,
a policy already started wherever
practicable and, according to the
commissioner, giving better admins
tration than when the same agencies
were under the control of political
fanatics.
The total cost of Indian schools
during the fiscal year was $3,637,7S5,
or $13s per capita. This amount
maintained 249 schools, with an en-
rollment of 134,434 pupils, and, in adj
dition, a number of pupils at Hamp
ton, Va, institute and at public
schools.

Chicago, Nov. IA Chicago mail
Eagon was robbed Saturday night
snd it will cause certain New York
stock brokers considerable inconven-
fence, as it was discovered yesterday
that one of the stolen mail pouches
contained several packages of stocks,
bonds and similar securities, which,
SIS was intended, should reach New
1'ork in time to be used when the
Stock exchange opens to-day. One
saan. Il member of the Chicago Stock
exchange, whose name is not made
public by the post Office authorities,
SIS said to- have mailed a paper of the
face value of 100000, which was in
cnr of the missing sacks. This paper
IS not negotiable, but its loss may
cause n great amount of annoyance,
as the brokers affected probably will
have TO furnish bond to cover the
temporary lack of security. AS near
as can be estimated by the post Office
officials the robbers secured between
1000 and $4,000 in cash, certified
