Show OUR INDIAN SERVICE in our public administration there seem to be somo branches BO completely sunk sn corruption that a reform is only to be realized by total reconstruction to thee rotten branches belongs in the first line our national indian bureau and this phenomenon is quite natural too in no other department of our national public service is the control so difficult oren so impossible as in this bureau its officers reside in remote regions they are Bc altered over the vast territory of the far west they are the guardians of indians half civilized or uncivilized over whom they exercise a more or unlimited authority they are ruling ever people who bay no true conception of their rights and who hare now too much then again too little accord a to them the danger is obvious that officers abuse their authority over such people and this danger Is the greater as manifold opportunities port unities are offered of making gre att profit by crooked practices with very slender risk of discovery for it is evident that the control of the Sc retry of tha interior in washington connot be very vigilant lt is not poto ible for him to be correctly versed in all the conditions and of the different differ tnt tribes their hunting grounds ao and thus ho is almost exclusively dependent on the confidence which he places in abo chief of this apart medil and in the diverse inferior of bleers these thoughts hava been suggested to to us by the recent in concerning the late incumbent of the head office of the indian bureau commissioner hay t whose sudden removal by secretary schurz lias mentioned in our telegraphic columns it appears now that the cretaro cre tary of the interior baa been systematically deceived by this was possible must ly no means be attributed either to the incapacity or complicity of Mr Schurz imputations above cither of which hes most certainly elevated but rather to the of tho boiking machinery of this whole department which has long since enjoys a most unenviable ic in some late dispatches it was as sorted that no dishonorable actions had provoked clayta removal and to the substantiation of this rumor mr scions name was freely used without the least justification on his side the reports show so many dark points that it is quite bard not to become a little suspicious even the men standing in intimate relations to the removed official know of no better policy to palliate the whole crooked aspect of the matter than ky saying that hayt with his numerous other engagements had no tima to attend to his business in person and hence entrusted the administrative bardu and responsibility to another now this very assertion mant for nn excuse reveals an abuse unfortunately tuna tely but too frequent in the public service of the united states which consists in one man drawing the salary of an office aad having another man d the business part furthermore he refusal of secretary schurz to accept the resignation of to spare him the oppre barium of a seems to indicate clearly that he was not only dig account of errors it is well proven that bis superior in to shield a sub item mr what benefit if any bayt derived from this illegitimate protection of his subordinate does not appear quite as clearly but thero i no ned for long ula tion the raan is condemned by hi sudden dismissal and he will find but few who will believe bis disgrace to have ben undeserved the reasons which caused his sudden fall must have been th weightier as secretary schurz had until lately acted as a realous friend of the corn and a warm advocate of his administration mr schurz de serves our thanks for his prompt d he will ensure our lasting gratitude by seeing that huyts successor be a ann who will really be what the others only professed to be he would do well also not to be too prodigal with hs confidence in his subordinate officers every month things come to light which show that A reform of the indian bureau is indispensable and this
