In an address lately delivered before
the railroad branch of the Young Mems
Christian association in New York Mr..
Andrew Carnegie said great many
practical and sensible things which
doubtless gave his hearers much pleas.
ure. lie also said some things which
have set them thinking and which hav"
given rise TO much discussion. says the
New York Times. For example: 1T is
one of the most cheering facts OF our
day that under present conditions the
wages Of labor tend TO rise and the
prices OF the necessities Of life tend to
fall" Whether this Is true or not is "A
question OF interest 10 every one who
lives by the fruits OF his labor in what
ever form he Is compensated.
As Mr.. Carnegie said II and probably
meant II his statement is quite true. 1t

ly complied for Dun's Review show
that during 1901 the cost of living In
this country increased with remarka.
BILE rapidity. that such increase has
been going on since July, 1897. when
the lowest level of prices in some four
teen years was reached, and that the
net average increase in the cost of liv'
ing is greater than any advance claim
ed IN average wages during this period
Comparing prices of the necessaries OF
life on Jan. |, 1902. and July !, 1897, II
is found that the average advance Is
nearly 40 per cent. That the average
wage has increased 40 per cent during
this period is scarcely probable.

The comparatively recent action of the president in removing certain Ala bama office holders because they have made an effort to eliminate the negro as a factor in the republican organiza, ton has given rise to numerous stories in regard to MT Rooseyelt's attitude to- wards the lilly white organizations, notably that he has determined to abandon the movement. It is further stated that the southern white repub- licans are all in favor of Senator Hanna and, regardless of the latter's wishes, will cast their first vote for him in the next national convention. Tn an interview yesterday Postmaster General Payne said that the president would not recommend to congress the curtailment of southern representation, but added that he personally favored the reduction of the southern delega- tions in the national convention. He said that he thought the basis for rep resentation in the national convention should be the number of votes cast in each district. While it is not easy to obtain accurate information in Wash ington concerning the attitude of the southern organizations, there is a grow ing belief that the antagonism to Pres ident Roosevelt is developing in the southern states.

OUR INDIAN WARDS.
More Spent Tn Fighting Than.
 Educating the Red Man.
DOING AWAY WITH RATION SYSTEM
2ResuIts of the New Policy" Says Commissioners Jones, Have Been Favorable Beyond
 ExpectatiOns.,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs Jones in his an nual report estimates that the govern ment from it's foundation to 1890 spent $S45,275, ,290 in fighting, subduing and controlling the Indians of the country and $24O.OO0,O0O for the education and care of their children.
 sgThe extent and demoralizing effects of the ration system evil" says the commissioner in explaining his policy of abolishing that system, were gener ally recognized and universally con- demned, except perhaps by mistaken philanthropy which, ignoring the nat ural law that man must earn his living by the sweat of his brow, would ex- empt the Indian from labor and carry him upward on fowery beds of ease. It was felt that it was time for a change. Heretofore the dealing had been with the tribe; it, is now with the individual. His manhood is appealed to, and he is to be taught self reliance and self respect and to put his hand to the blow if he would work. Nothing is further from the truth than the asser- tion that the plan is to hire out adult male Indians as contract laborers.
 'Ihe results of the policy have been favorable even beyond expectations, and there is every reason to believe that the final success of the plan, if carried out judiciously, is assured. As q first result over 12,00O have been dropped from the nation roll, being wholly self supporting. As a second result a large number of Indians have been put to work or work has been found for them"
 Concerning the order directing the agents to encourage the discontinuance of the Indians custom of wearing long hair, painting, etc, MT. Jones says the reports on the subject by the agents are all in and that the consensus of opinion expressed is that s'it is a step forward and in the right direction''
 The report advocates that agencies and portions of agencies be placed un- der the charge of bonded superintend- ents of training schools, policy al- ready started wherever practicable and, according to the commissioner, giving better administration than when the same agencies were under the control of political fanatics. The total cost of the Indian schools during the fiscal year was $3, ,43T, ,TS5, or S13S per capita. This amount maintained 249 schools, with an enrolment of 24, ASA pupils, and in addition number of pupils at the Hampton (Va.) institute and at public schools.
