Well, ‘it would take a talented calculator to make ont just what the census office means by its figares. The number is first stated generally at 247.408. Then the diferent kinds of Indians are stated, and the addition makes the number 325 - 464." Tt is added in a foot note that in the five civilized tribes of the Indian nd that the whole poy sat territory is 178,097. mid at Grst seem to be the explanation of the variance, bat this is followed im- i iv by another enamer tion Indians, prisoners, ete, exclrsive of the five civilized tribes, and this agdin ; brings (he number above S, Loa. : narition shows those fo | ratio are issued and the self {the na | mer. ‘ to me plansible is that the 58 000 Indians wi much below the fore | who Hive in the various states as citizens, dress like white men and are counted in the general population are in some of these tables counted as Indians apd in others as common folks, yeck, then we bave in round numbegs 25,000 Indians, "A Few Are Civilized.

(After quoting various testimonies Mr. ‘Donaldson makes the following summa- ry: “The real reservation Indian is filthy {in person and habits. He eats uncooked | food and vermin, changes. his clothes when they dro, off from decay, is of- | fensive in odor and thriftless in all things. ! He is the constant and agrecable ¢om- panion of every kind of vermin. On the bank of a river stood an Indian in the land of the Piutes, some years ago, in ed in an abandoned society coat, but- toned backward, a pair of eyeglasses and a high white hat with a crape band. He was an Indian dude, the euvy of his ‘tribe. That might he was murdered by a fellow Indian and thrown into the river, and the next day his Fmarderet ap- peared in the dress suit.” Certificates of Character. i Iz the same document the facetions Mr. Donaldson presents some specimens of the certificates of characters presented : by roaming Indians, among then these: i Rose Fork, Ida., July 4, 1568, This Indian's name is Taytol:r.
