UNDER THE CIVIL SERVICE.
The Appropriation Practically Places
Indian Agents There

1nOtan Agents There.
One Of the provisions of the Indian ap-
preparation bill is said to have the effect of
placing Indian agents under civil service
regulations. The bill contains the provision
that the commissioner of Indian affairs,
with the approval Of the Secretary of the
Interior. may devolve the duties Of any In
dian agency upon the superintendent of the
Indian training school located at such
agency; and the superintendent upon whom
such duties devolve shall give bond, as
other Indian agents"
Superintendents are already under civil
service regulations. SO that the effect of the
provision, If carried into effect, is to extend
the civil service over such agencies as have
q superintendent serving as agent. Efforts
have long been made by those interested in
reforming the Indian service TO have the
agencies placed under the civil service but
thus far the effort has been in vain. The
present provision In the bill is said to be a
step toward a realization of this reform.
