INDIAN SOLDIERS RATIONs

They Are Issued by the Indian Bureau Not
withdrawing Their Enlistment
A rather curious question of administration
has been brought to public attention by the re-
port Of Con. Merritt, commanding the de-
partment of Dakota, which was pub
lshed in yesterdays STAR. Gen. Merritt COM
plains that the enlistment of Sioux Indians
as soldiers in the regular army has been inter-
fered with by reason Of the action of the In
dian bureau in refusing to issue rations to In
dians who have enlisted as soldiers. As the re-
port is supposed to be dated about the 1st of July
the Indian bureau officials believe that this
fact accounts for the failure Of Gen. Merritt to
state that about month ago directions were
issued to the Indian agents to distribute ra-
tions to Indians enlsting as soldiers the same as
il they were still on the reservation n and not
drawing pay and subsistence from the govern
msnt as soldiers. Mr.. Belt, the assistant
commissioner, who was at tho time
the question was first broachcd by
the War Department the acting COM
missioner Of Indian affairs, opposed this
system OF double pay to the Indians, but Sec
retary Noble concluded that rather than 20 put
any obstacle in the way Of the War Depart
ment's recruiting soldiers from among the In
dians the issue of the rations be allowed
for the present and directions 70 that effect
were sent to Indian agents under date Of Sep
tember l6, 1891.

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt has re.
turned to eastern civilization and was hard at
work at the rooms Of the commission today.
He has been absent for some time on his west
ern ranch and through the western wilds and
mas Killed number of elk as well as other
large game. He has been in New York since
coming from the west and ID necessarily inter-
ested IN the politics of his state.
he told STAR reporter today that he

NOT GOING TO REsIoS.
Speaking of the report that he intended re-
signing from the civil service commission, he
said that the report had reached him way out
west, but that there never was any foundation
for the report.
He said he had not vet looked much into the
matter OF attempts TO levy political assessments
this fall. but that he had an impression that
whatever efforts were being made in that direc-
tlon we're not meeting with success.
Il want TO say, he said, that no employe
OF the government has any reason to fear that

hlolt any one from soliciting money for cam
paign purposes from government employees.
!here ls no more reason why circular asking
Tor campaign contributions should be sent TO a

should be made of employees in q factory or in
any private establishment
THE OHIO CLERKS.
Il have seen something about attempts by
Mr.. Lowrey, or whatever the name is, to get
money from the clerks for the Ohio campaign
The implied threat in the last paragraph of his
circular of October looks like an attempt to
frighten the clerks into contributing, and |
am exceedingly gratified to hear that he has
not been successful He has no claim to con-
trlbutions from clerks and no power to enforce
any demand upon them for campaign
funds 1 understand through reading
the newspapers that he is complaining
that he cannot get the money he expected
from the clerks; that they do not respond to
his calls. This delights me. 1 am glad that
the clerks feel their independence. and that
they are not compelled to stand and deliver
nope he will not get cent from the clerks. 4"
