Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior for the Year 1880 In closing, I would request that, in consideration of the valuable services rendered by members of the police, they having aided the government and white men, as against their own people, an effort be made to induce Congress to allow something' more than the somewhat ridiculous compensation of $5 per month for service. These men have been led to expect more, and it should be given them, for if ever laborers were worthy of their hire, these certainly are.

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior, for the Year 1878 Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, Washington, November 1, 1878. Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the annual report of the Indian Bureau. Changes And Improvements. Many changes have been made since my last report in the methods and management of both the office and agency business. Rules previously established have been enforced, and accountability on the part of employes and of those who have had business with the office has been insisted upon, and the affairs of the office generally have been put upon a strictly business basis. The property and cash accounts of agents have been closely scrutinized and the service purified of such agents and employes as have been found unfaithful to their trusts or inefficient in their management. Claims have been critically examined, and as a result large sums of money have been saved to the government. Contractors have been held to the fulfillment of their contracts, and attempts to put upon the government inferior goods have been met by deductions which have fully protected its interests and have served to deter others from making similar experiments. Some dishonest contractors and employes have been and are now being prosecuted and convicted. Many attempted frauds have been detected and thwarted, and some which had been successful in previous years have been discovered, and it is hoped that the perpetrators may yet be brought to justice. There have been thirty-five new appointments of agents, and it is believed that most of the changes will prove of great benefit to the service. Specific and detailed instructions as to the manner of inspecting, weighing, and issuing cattle, flour, and other supplies have been given, also as to the disposition of funds and the keeping and rendering of accounts at the various agencies. The attention of agents has been called to the necessity of bringing their Indians to self-support at an early day, and education in the fields has been made a prominent feature in the teaching of the school children.

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs: To the Secretary of the Interior for the Year 1879 Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith the Annual Report of the Indian Bureau for the year 187 9. During the year there has been a steady and manifest progress in civilization which has had no parallel in any previous year in the his tory of Indian civilization under this government. The spirit of progress cannot be said to have pervaded all tribes alike, or with equal force; but, as a whole, the Indians of the country have taken a long stride in the right direction toward complete civilization and eventual self-sup port. The most decided advance in civilization has been made by the Ogalala and Br'ul'. Sioux, and their progress during the last year and a half has been simply marvelous. They have manifested an excellent disposition and shown commendable zeal in carrying out the plans of the government for their benefit. It is no longer a question whether Indians will work. They are stead ily asking for opportunities to do so, and the Indians who today are willing and anxious to engage in civilized labor are largely in the major ity. There is an almost universal call for lands in severalty, and it is remarkable that this request should come from nearly every tribe except the five civilized tribes in the Indian Territory. There is also a growing desire among Indians to live in houses, and more houses have been built, and are now in course of erection, than have been put up during any previous year. The demand for agricultural implements and appli anoes, and for wagons and harness for farming and freighting purposes is constantly increasing, and an unusual readiness to wear citizens' clothing is also manifest. The loss of the buffalo, which is looked upon by Indians as disastrous, has really been to them a blessing in disguise. They now see clearly that they must get their living out of the soil by their own labor, and a few years' perseverance in the beneficial policy now pursued will render three-fourths of our Indians self-supporting. Already very many tribes have a surplus of products for sale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
