We print this morning extracts from thoannual report of the commissioner of Indian affairs, soon to be given to the | public, relating to the condition of the Indian tribes in Nebraska, The infor- mation conveyed will be found interest- ing and instructive, not alone with re- gard to the Indians to which it espec- ially relates, but for the light it throws on the Indian character. The Winno bo, consisting of | but 1,212 persons, occupies a tract of a little over one hundred and ven thou- sand acres of ellent land, but with overy reasonable inducement to progress they advance very slowly. Most of them give evidence of still preferring their old habits and customs and cannot wholly rid themselyes of the roving, restless disposition peculiar to their race. They are now exercising the rights of citizenship and sinco having acquired this privilogo there has been shown o better tendency among them to improve, but the agent reports that they aro slow to appreciate the opportunities offered them. Much of the time the school is not well at- nded.they are not religiously inelined, and while there is not a great deal of crime among them their moral status is low. It is the opinon of the agent that the cash annuities paid the Winne- bagoes is of little actual benefit to them, the larger pavt of it being wasted or worse. One of the most serious evils to be weeded out is the loose regavd for the marriage relation, which isassumed and dissolved at will, without form of law. The Omahas are given abetter record, it is remarked of them ulso that omewhat lncking in energy 1to be pushed and encouraged. This tribe, numbering less than twelve hundred, occupios nearly one hundred and thirty-four thousand neres, less than 1alfl of which has been alloted. The tribe is divided in opinion regarding the advantages of citizenship, They ha 2ood selhool facilities which they show a better appreciation of than do the Win- nebi ind they are morally superior to the latter weibe, With regard to the lands of these Indians that ave lying idle orare illegally occupied, it is recom- mended that the law be so amended that such lands may bo leased under proper restrictions, one of the conditions being that the leases shall be made only for the purpose of cultivation, s to the Santees and Poncas, the gent reports information obtained in the brief oxporience with them of only two months. He states that much of the reservation of the former tribe land poorly suited for agriculture, and very little of it is in cultivation, still the Santees have made some progress in farming aud are well disposed to accept the customsof the whites. The agent reports that moreadvancement has been made in the trades than in agriculture, many of the Santees being proficient in the use of tools, The schools are well attended, and on the wholethe condition of this tribe appears to. bo very satisfue- tory. The Poncas are fortunate in having good land, and such of them ¢ have given proper attention to its culti- vation are prosperous. The Santecs number 869 and tho Poncas 29 The suggestion of this information re- garding the Indians in Nebraska is, that even when surrounded by all the condi- tions of an advanced ¢ ation the e assimilates very slowly and reluc- tuntly its customs and methods. Unques- tionably there are better examples of encrgy and progress than any of these tribes present, but the general propos tion holds good that the Indian grows slowly into the ways of the white man, It may take several generations to bring the Sioux and some other tribes to the condition of eivilization which the real friends of the red man desire to see him attnin, and wmeanwhile there is vory likely to be nunerous my estations of the rebellious spirit that is now giving exercise to the military arm of the gov- ernment, WILDCAT INSURANCE COMPANIE: It is a matter of importance to every porson who carries insurance to know that companies doing business in this state have a logal right to do so. A certificate to that effect from the auditor is ovidence that the company is sound and reliablo, and every citizen who pays money to protect his tamily or his prop- erty is entitled to know that the com- pany he patronizes hassucha cortificate. [t is a highly interesting question, therefore, as to how many wildeat insur- ance companies are now doing business in Nebraska without the authority of the law. A list of 44 companies, representing 15 different states, was recently submitted tothe deputy auditor at Lincoln and he was od whether they were entitled to do business here. He re- plied that none of them were so enti- tled, and yet it is supposed that all of them are doing business in Nebraska cvory day and that tens of thousands of dollars worth of property have been en- trusted to them, in the aggregate. may be able to pay losses and may not, nobody knows. But the have not complied with the law, but proceeded in defiance of it, gives reason for the presumption that they are not sound companies. The Nebraska insurance law is very rigid, as it ought to be. It provides that no company, local or foreign, shall transact business in this state until it has satisfied the auditor that its finaneial esources are equal to the visks it assumes, nor until it has provided for the protection of its patrons by the appointment of local attorneys on whom notices of pro- | coss can be sorved in case of litigation, It also provides that annual statements shall be prominently advertised, that cortain fees shall bo paid to the state, and that no business whatever shall be teansacted until the auditor has 1ssued a certificate to the effectthat these pro- isions have been fully complied with, And what is still more interesting at this time, the law distinetly says that “uny officcr or person doing business, or attempting to do business in this state, for any insurance company organized without this state, failing to comply with uny of the requirements of this act, or violating any of the provisions thereof, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon convie- tion thereof shall be fined in a sum not | ‘ 1,000 and be imprisoned in ¢ joil for a period of not loss than thirty days, nor more than six | of men we The facts reported from the |« tor and attorney genc to the business interests and the dignity of the state that any offenders against the law should be promptly punished and driven out of business, LDERATED LABOR.
