well as of the Civil Service Reform as
ISOLATION, explains his action in a let
ter to Secretary George McAneny.
Mr.. Schurz says he resigns rather
than be criticised as carrying on a
systematic course of antagonism to
the administration, his opposition to
it in regard to other policies having in
the meantime become more c~onspicu-
Gus. He says:
'In my opinion, II Is essential TO the use-
fulness of the civil service reform organi-
cations that their utterances or acts should
not only be, az l am sure they always have
been, but also appear to be. free from all
personal or political bias. The possibility

I am concerned in the interest of the civil
