The Presidents Views on the Indiana and
CiviI Service.
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. 1901


GENTLEMEN-I have received by the hand
of Senator Hoar the communication ad.
dressed to me by you as officers of the
Cambridge Civil Service Reform associa-
ton, and in reply beg to say that your sug.
gestions will have my respectful attention.
Your reference to the recent outbi eak
among the Sioux as affording convincing
evidence of the necessity of change in
the manner Of appointing the officials OF
the Indian bureau, leave me to say that |
have not found, in very full examinat ion
of all the facts from all sources, evidence
of any deterioration in the Indian service.
On the other hand, the board of Indian
commissioners, through Morrill, +. Gates,
their chairman, have, as the result of close
observations declared to me, Inder date OF
Jan. 10 last, that upon the whole, the In.
dian service is now in better condition
than ever before
The object OF their communication was
to urge the extension of civil service rules
to the Indian service, but they were care.
full to recognize that the argument was
not to be found in any special or recent in
cident, but in the broader fact that the
work among tie Indians is educational
and philanthropic, and should, therefore,
be separated from party politics | may
add that before many special appeals had
been made to me from any source, the sub
ject of including Indian agency clerks and
employs in the classified service had been
under consideration. Very respectfully
yours, BENJAMIN HARRISON
