PLAN TO EXTEND

Auditors and Indian Agents

PRESIDENT WILL URGE 1T
Probable Opposition BY Congress-Jobs
Needed to Satisfy Place
Hunters.
PRESIDENT WILL URGE 1T

An interesting phase of the Presidents
message 10 Congress. now in the course
OF preparation. will be the suggestion
By MIR Roosevelt that Congress pass
Q law placing the eight auditors OF the
Treasury Department and the Indian
agents under civil service.
As these are Presidential offices 1t
viii require a special act Of Congress
70 place them under the merit system.
II Is an open question as to whether
Congress will take kindly to the plan.
That il will meet with the disapproval
Of many Senators and Representatives
goes without saying. II is not impossi-
bic that there will be trouble over it
IN the ranks Of the Republican party.
Few Rewards Left.
When called upon by their faithful
party workers to deliver the goods"
under the ancient and more or less hon
orable spells system, politicians are
driven to desperation to find places
enough to so around. so far-reaching is
the protecting mantle Of the civil serv-
ice. II is not to be expected that they
viii be pleased with further extension
OF II by the blanketing of the auditors
ana the Indian agents.
The President however favored the
plan year ago. AT that time he called
on the heads Of the departments for
their views on the subject.
W. Dudley Foulke, then member of
the Civil Service Commission. prepared

the Indian agents Nothing came OF a..

pointed by the President. must be con-

The pressure for Government Jobs will
be great after March 4 next. Owing to
the fact that the supply is nowhere near
equal to the demand. the probabilities
are that the greatly harassed Western
Senators and Representatives will not
for the present at any rate. consent to
have auditors and Indian agents under

He has friends to reward and is no"

CLEVELAND TELLS
OF BOND ISSUE
Defends Relief Measures by Relating
Financial Condition Of Country
in 1894 10 1896.

PHILADELPHIA, May 5-Former
President Cleveland has prepared an
article on ''The Cleveland Bond Issue"
for the current number Of the Satur-
day Evening Post, in which he gives a
detailed history of the issues Of 1894,
1895 and 1896.
After a statement Of the iDroads
upon the gold reserves which prompt
ed two $4,000, 900 issues, Mr., Cleve-
land declares the belief was only tenn
porary. He then appealed to Congress,
in 1895, but ''this appeal TO Congress
for legislative aid was absolutely fruit
less, and adds.
AFTER careful consideration, an
agreement was made by which J. p.
Morgan & Co., of New York, for
themselves and for J. S. Morgan & Co.,
of London, and August Belmont &
Co., of New York, for themselves, and
for N. NJ. Rothschild & Son, OF Lon
don, were to sell to the government
$780, 600 ounces of standard gold coin
OF the United States, to be paid for In
4 per cent bonds, and payable at the
pleasure of the government after 80
years from their da5e, such bonds to.
be issued and delivered from time to.
time as the gold coin to be furnished
was deposited in the subtreasuries or
other legal repositories"
Congress, Mr.. Cleveland says, re-
fused to authorize a 3 per cent gold
bond, hence 4 per cent bonds were
delivered, amounting to s62, I5,4OO,
realizing s65, 1884 in gold.
Jan. G, 1896, the gold reserve having
fallen to s6l PSI, TO, it was decided to
offer slO0, O00, 900 Of bonds for popular
subscription at 4 per cent, and s27 eJigl-
bic bids were received, including the
one Of ]. p. Morgan & Co. for the en-
tire issue at 1l0.6s77 on the dollar.
To all the other $50 accepted bidders
who offered even the smallest fraction
OF a farthing more than this the full
hdh4bNi VI VDAAo III NAtfSi AtiCf bib
were awarded. TIE aggregate Of the
bonds awarded TO these bidders, ex-
Guiding the Morgan bid, amounted to
s62, 81, $50. The remainder Of the en-
tire offering was awarded to Mr.. Nor
gan and ms associates, their bid being
the highest next to thuse on which
bonds had been awarded In full.
Mr.. Cleveland concludes as follows:
81 have attempted 10 give a de-
tailed history Of the crime charged
against an administration which
issued bonds Of the government in
time OF peace without shame and
without repentance. / confess my
shame Of the guilt, and ! refuse TO
shield my accomplices in this crime
who, with me, held high places in
that administration. And, although
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Belmont and
scores OF other bankers and dnanciers
who were aceeSSorief In those transac-
lions, may be stepped in destructive
propehsities, and may be constantly
