CIVIL SERVICE REFORMDRS
Protest Against Suggested with
drawals from the Lists

Washington, Oct. 31.-The Civil Service
Reform league has serc letter 10 the
president expressing its hope tat he will
not. as reported n the public press. with
draw a number IF Places NOW filed by
civil service methods, from the scope OF
the civil service rules. The letter says:
1.-The league submits for your considera-
ton the artainty that such changes,
whatever their motive and however they
may be explained by those by whom they
are suggested wifi be greeted alike by the
friends and enemies of the merit system
as a step backwards step the more sig
nificant because IL will be the first step
backward avowedly taken by the execu-
tive branch of the government since the
civil service law took effect.
1.-THE merit system in our public admin
istration has proved its worth. Experience
has shown that wherever the hostility of
appointing or governing officers has not
been an impeachment 1t has improved the
personnel of the branches in which II has
been established, and reduced the public
expense. while in other branches where
the rule has not been applied the case has
often been notably the reverse.
IN the classified force OF the depart
mental service at Washington alone dur
ing the period from 1883 10 1895 the saving
effected annually through increased eff
cheney has been estimated in the official
report of the civil service commission at
more than 100000
I'VE believe that changes. whereby po-
siti0ns and classes OF positions are now
ID al
be accepted no tonly as a step backward
but as orpof that the system is not regard
ed by the present administration as here
TO stay. and viii inevitably awaken doubt
as 70 the sincerity Of repeated declara-
tons Of The party now dominant n na-
tional affairs that the law establishing II
shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced
and extended wherever practicable"

IGNORANT AND DEGRADED

Washington, Oct. 31.-The majority Of
the annual reports of the Indian agents
10 the commissioner of Indian affairs, al
Of an encouraging nature and indicate
progress geerally along civilized lines.
Some of the reports, howey=r. are not
so gratifying and ma <e some surprising
statements. Unusual n annLii report is
the following arraigrment of L. NJ. Tear
ian, in charge of me milan agency in
Idaho:
These Indians, as a tribe are honest
and peaceable and kindly disposed, bTt are
about as degraded and ungrateful set >
one finds. They have been humored. and.
Ike spoiled children, wan: things tLejr
OWE way, and their coGdit:n3. MADE of
living and harbaric practices would indi-
cate that undue concessions have been
made on the part of agen7s. While S. me
vii. avail themselves of the opp -tunity OF
earning their living by civilized pursuits.
others lead lazy. vagabond life.
They are addicted TO gambling, horse
racing and dancing, and tne influence e
the so-cailed medicine man operates 10
the disadvantage of the tribe.
Their real advancement has not teen
what it should, or what twas possible to
have been under the circumS, auces. In
the agents annual report for 1883 on the
Lemhi reservation, I find tina, twenty nine
Indian families were engaged in farming;
fifteen years afterwards L can report but
forty-one following agricultural pursuits,
an increase of twelve, not quite one con-
vert a year. What wonderful progress
sioni
Morally these Indians are practically
the same as they were twenty years ago:
financially they are but little better off.
Aside from a few small farms, wagons and
farming implements, held by some of the
more energetic and industrious. they have
comparatively nothing except great num-
Der of worthless ponies, which if they did
not own they would not be any worse off.
No horned stock are owned by them at all.
at would be unjust not to state that a
few have farms and keep constantly at
work trying to establish for themselves
comfortable homes. A majority, however,
seem to content themselves with their
present condition and continue on in the
same old channel, leading a life or idle
ness and degradation"
