POLITICS AND CIVIL SERVICE.
Some Anxious Inquiries Addressed to the
Commission.

Commission.
The civil-service commission recently
received a letter from Charles Schwait-
ger, an employe in thes New York Post
Office, asking whether q voluntary con-
tribution to a political party was q VIOLA
ton of law; also if in case the emplove
was dismissed or reduced because of his
refusal to contribute the commission would
investigate and sustain tho employee. In
answer the commission says that a volun-
tary contribution is no violation Of the
law, but that they will investigate cases
OF removal or reduction of employees
caused by their refusal to contribute.
The commission also received q lester
from the Mayor of Boston, asking to be
informed where the division line is between
activity aud non-activlty in politics by
government employees. In reply the COM
mission state that outside of prohibiting
assessments Of oficeholders they do not at
tempt to control the politics of govern
ment employees. AS to the dividing line
between activity and n%on-activity that is
for the administration in power to decide.

TO EDUCATE INDIANS.


A Scheme to Fit tho Savage for the Duties
of Cit!zenship.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Morgan
has elaborated a system of education de-
signed to reach all the Indian youth Of
school age now under control Of the Indian
bureau. Il is practically the American
public school system, adapted to the
special requirements Of the Indians. It is
to be non-partisan and non-gecta,ian
The industry feature is to receive specia
prominence. The "outing system by
which pupils are to be placed in white
families and attend public schools, is to be
encouraged wherever practicable. It is
proposed to develop o full high school
course in at least three Indian schools
Carlisle, Haskell and Cheyenne, and at the
others as fast as needed. These high
schools are to take rank, in equipment and
character of work done, with SIMILAR jnsti-
tutions for white people. The scheme
c~ontemplates the organization Of perhaps
twenty-five grammar schools, tiftv prima-
ry or home schools, and enough day or
camp schools to reach all who can not be
brought into the boarding schools. Con-
gress will be asked to make a sufficient
appropriation to enable the Indian Office at
an early day to bring every Indian youth
OF school age that can be reached under
proper instruction.

Senators: EX-Judgc Gideon c. Moody and

OF the United States by South Dakota. The
former is counsel for the largest gold mining
company in the Black Hills, and the latter is
the most conspicuous man in the largest city
in the new state, SiouX Falls. 1ITcsc two
men are remarkably keen and aggressive
representatives of the northwest. Mr.. Pet
grew is the best informed man in that
country on local affairs. He knows more
about the Sioux nation than Sitting Bull,
and can tell within a few dollars the price of
an acre OF land anywhere from TT. Pembina

cal rapicr in debate, and if he should ever
tall out with Senator Ingalls, the senate will

OF the government estimate of the Dakota
wheat crop, said: Mr.. Dodge, the govern
ment statistician OF the the agricultural de-
rartmcnt, has either made a great error or
his report was changed after leaving his
hands. In some counties in Dakota he has
estimated the acreage under cultivation
some lO,WO ncres more than it should be.
his report make the crop at least 15,OOO,-
900 bushels more than it should be, and the
final results will show that the wheat crop
OF 1883 amounts to not more than %, 900, 900
bushels at the outside" VIM. Petit and
Z. c. Sturtevant are also of the opinion tina
the yield will prove much less than csti-
mated by the government statistician.
