THE INDIAN SERVICE.
Extending the Civil Service Rules to Certain
Positions.

Extendin. the Civil Service Rules to Certain
Positions
An important change win be made in the
methods Of appointments to the minor places
In the Indian service tho list Of October.
when ell such appointments will come under
tbs civil service rules. The positions effected
s-e ss follows: Physicians. school superinten-
dents, assistant superintendent, school teach
srs and mairons- All applicants for these po-
sitions must pass an examination of a practical
Character embracing such subjects a. the civil
service commission may direct. Heretofore
these places have been flIed with more or less
reference 20 the political backing of the Sppli-
cants, with the usual result Of changes at the
beginning of each administration. Tho EN-
Ployes nc. included arc agents, their clerks.
farmers. assistant farmers. policemen. Indian
judges laborers OF any kind, as butchers herd
ers, DC, industrial teachers, cooks, eearn-
stresses, &c.
MOSTLY Usp1s TIE PATRONAGE OF rHE co1-
MISSION.
The extension Of the civil service rules over
the Indian service was made complete rs it
was thought wise at this time. The majority
OF the appointments which are thus relin-
pushed 70 the civil service commission be-
longed to the patronage Of the commissioner Of
Indian affairs. Commissioner Morgan, In
recommending this change, had in view SOW
sral bonefits which he believed would be Sc
cured. In the first place the appointments
made in accordance with civil service rules
will be non-politicsl and non-sectarian.
psrmancncy will also be given to the positions,
which he thinks will prove to be beneficial
change, especially IN the schools
THE NUMBER AFFECTED.
The number Of positions affected by this
change is as follows: saperintsndents of In
dian schools and assistant superintendents,
81; physicians, 80; teachers. S0i; matrons,

The Columbia Amateur Orchestra has
moved its quarters to Academy Hall, George

While Mr.. Stephen B. Ekins still tells his
friends he has not been offered the place In
President Harrson's Cabinet, to be made
vacant by the retirement of Secretary Proctor,
it is the general belief that he will be the next

is made for the present for reasons having to

to make. Mr.. Elkins is generally classed as

Blaine man, but 1t is now thought he is even
more Of Harrison man. II he went into the
Cabinet, he no doubt would become an out
and-out Harrison man.
Mr.. Elkins is millionaire. He was born
in Missouri fifty years ago, and is graduate
of the University Of Missouri. For time he
served In the Union Army, with the rank Of
captain. In 1868 he removed to New Mexico
and served for awhile rs driver on q ranch.
Being bright, genial young man and ac-
quainted with Spanish, he gained influence and
attorneys. By the prosecution, it is reported, of
10000 Mexicans who broke the law by hold
ing servants in slavery, he laid the foundation
of his great wealth. the United States Govern
ment paying him $25 each for convictions
He was elected to the Legislature of New
Mexico, and subsequently to the Forty y-third
and Forty-fourth Congresses. While at Wash
ington he became an intimate friend of James
G. Blaine and of Senator Davis, of West Vir-
ginia, and married daughter Of the rich Sen
ator.
He made great deal OF money by invest
ments in silver mining in Colorado. Later
he bought an interest in the coal fields of
West Virginia, and has his country seat at
Piedmont, that State. His wealth comprises
property In New Mexico, Colorado, and West
Virginia. He spends great part of his time
inNew York City, whence he directs his vast
busir ess interests. In the campaign of 1884
Mr.. Elkins suptriDtended operations for his
friend, Mr. Blaine. His conversion to the
Republican party took place in 1870, so th at
he has attained his majority in its member
ship. Mrs. Elkins and other members of his
household are reported to be Democrats, but
he has an able business adviser In his wife,
who inherited from her father superior judg-
ment and capacity.
