To Snccecd Indian Agents.

A Washington dispatch says ::
The announcement at the White
House that President Roosevelt
had decided TO adopt the policy
of filling vacancies in the position
of agent in charge of Indian re-
servations by the appointment OF
bonded superintendent means "A
furtherreduction in the patronage
at the disposal Of western sena-
tors and representatives.
Reservation agents are not in
the civil service, while bonded
superintendents are, and az the
policy of the president will result
in no change in the salary or
duties of the official in charge of
the reservation, the appointment
Of the bonded superintendents will
merely mean the extension OF the
merit system to class Of federal
positions which heretofore have
been disposed Of by politicians.
The president decided TO sub.

mendation of Commissioners Jones

having a large number OF agents
displaced by the appointment OF
bonded superintendent and II
was said at the Indian bureau that
there now remains only about
twenty agents in the Indian
service.
The policy Of the commissioner
has been vigorously opposed by
members Of congress, and in some
instances they have succeeded in
having his recommendations set
aside. Officials of the Indian
bureau said that the efficiency of
the service on reservations would
be greatly increased by the ap.

selected from applicants of known
ability. AS an illustration Of the
manner of selecting the bonded
superiutendents, the case Of Supt.

Sac and Fox reservation In Okla

who is one of the most capable
superintendents in the Indian
service, entered that service as an
assistant farmer, and he has filled
successfully the positions Of farm

"RaIlrOad Reaction"

The Des MOines, Iowa, News is
rather pessimistic regarding the
railroad situation. That journal
says;
at is estimated that fully $4,000
railroad employees have now been
land off or notified that their ser
vices will not be required after a
given date in the near future. This
reduction amounts To about I per
cent. of the whole number. The
average reduction for summer in
the past has been not over = per
cent. The present depressed con
dition appears to be felt more
severely 10y eastern than by ex.
tremely western roads.
"A table given out by a New
York authority shows that most
of the big trunk lines are reducing
theirwOrking forces, The Pennsyl-
vania system is credited with cut
ting 1900 men from lis pay-rOlls ;
Vanderbilt lines, 1900; various
railroads that center at Chicago,
10000; Gould system. 1900; the
Hartman lines, 5000; northwest.
ern lines, 10000, aud other roads
5000. A large proportion of the
employees affected are losing their
Jobs under directions from comply
headquarters to dismiss from the
freight department every person
not absolutely needed. With the
exception Of the panic period be-
ginning in 1893, this is the most
wholesale reduction Of railroad
working forces known at any one
time. The assigned cause is the
rapid falling off in freight ship.
ments within the last ak months.
Freight traffic managers, both east
aud west, report that the outlook
is not bright for the summer.
"Pessimists with surface view
of things may see in this condi-
ton cause for alarm, and there will
no doubt even be attempts to at.
tach to it political significance.
But, as a matter of fact, this re.
trenchment has long been expect
ed as a natural and necessary re-
suit Of the remarkable railroad eX-
pansiOn of the last few years,
Reaction was bound to come. 1t is
deplorable that a vast army of men
should lose their positions, but
the country is fortunate in having
plenty ofother positions equally

Arkansas Apples First
From the Little Rock Gazette.

From the Little Rock Gazette.
A remarkable feature of the Ar.
kansas apple display in the Palace
of Horticulture at the Worlds
Fair. as reported by visitors re-
turning from the big show, is that
this fruit was placed in cold stOr'
age last October, yet retains its
freshness and quality. tits equally
true that the storage apples, when
exposed, outlast the fruit exhibited
by other states; that is TO say, Ar.
kansas apples do not rot half as
fast as do those from other states.
Supt. Logan proposes to make a
test of the staying qualities OF the
Arkansasapple by leavinga quaint
fy of them in cold storage until
the close of the exposition. This
will he a period of fourteen mouths
and the prediction is made that the
apples will be just as good at the
end of that time as when they
were gathered. Arkansas visitors
in the Horticultural Palace report
another feature which mcites state
pride, and that is the popularity
of the famous Arkansas Black ap.
pie, as demonstrated by the fact
that every state exhibiting apples
presents this particular product
prominently, with the accompany
ing label: ARKANSAS Black The
Arkansas exhibit occupies perhaps
the most conspicuous position IN
the building. and is the wonder
and admiration of the multitudes,
1t does the Arkansas visitor a
world OF good to hear the expires.
sions of delight from the observ.
ers Of the Arkansas display, and
there is 10 measuring the benefit
that must come TO the state from
the splendid heralding of her
greatness as an apple state. There
are many citizens of this state who
have an idea that the Arkansas
Black is merely local name, con.
fined to the orchards Of this state,
hence they will be agreeably sur.
prlsed upon learning that it is a
name applied in every state where
this apple is raised or consumed.
Supt, Logan, naturally pleased at
the fine reception which Arkansas
apples have met, anticipates new
triumphs when the Arkansas
peaches are available, about July /,
