FAV0RITISM In THE ARMY
SECRETARY ENDICOTT PUTS
ALL ON AN EQUAL FOOTING.

Two Instances Where Pet officers Have
Each Held Fat Berths for Seventeen
Years-sOme of the Favored Ones of
the Past to go TO the Frontier.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Secretary Endi-
colt has prepared a surprise for army
officers by amending certain army regu-
latlOns 80 as to make them read as fol-
lows:
"An officer shall not fill any staff ap-
pointment or other situation the duties of
which VIII detach him from his company,
regiment or corps, until he has served at
least three years with his regiment or
corps. nor shall any officer remain de-
tached longer than tour years, unless as
signed to special duty by the War De-
partment."
THE ORDER.
The Secretary promulgates these
changes with the following order;
All officers below the grade of field officer
who have been absent for a period of four
years or longer from their regiment or corps,
Will be relieved from their present duties as
soon as practicable after the receipt of this
order, and d rected to reoort for dutv with
their respective regiments or corps. In the
selection OF aides de-camp to fill vacancies
created by the operation OF the last Dreced ng
will cOnfinc their selection to the officers of
regiments of the line Of the army not pro-
hiblted in the regulations and preferably to
subAlterns.
UNFAIR FAVORITIsM.
This action on the part of Secretary
Endicott is in pursuance of his policy to
provide for the rotation of officers. Since
he assumed the duties of his office, he has
frequently received letters from officers
on the frontier saving hat as a new admin
istratiOn had taken control of the govern
ment, they hoped that cons deration
would be given to them, and that they
would be allowed to change POSITIONS
with officers who had held enviable places
for q number of years. AS originally pre-
pared. the above order was more sweep
ing. 1t provided that no officer should re-
main detached from his regiment longer
than four years. This was modified to
the extent that it should affect no one de-
tailed to special duty by the War Depart
ment. All aides appointed simply by q
Major or Brigadier General will be COM
PEELED to join their regiments.
TWO LONG ABSENCES.
Two aides who were appointed by Cen
erals and not assigned to duty by the de-
partment baye been away from their
regiments II years. Other officers have
not been absent for so long a period. but
they have been holding desirable positions
for more than four years, and will be COM
PEELED to 90 to the frontier. Repeated
efforts have been made in Congress to Sc
cure legislation that would have the same
effect as the above regulation, but each
attempt has failed. The Secretary of
War accOmplishes the change by amend
ing the regulations, which he claims he
has the authority to do.

port of the National Cotton Exchange
says Of the cotton crop:
"The weather conditions during July
over the whole belt have been very favor
able to the growth and development of
the plant such as were needed, whereas
last year they were abnormal. Then the
drought in Texas and the excessive rains
in Alabama and the Atlantic States put
the plant in very critical condition, re-
quiring most favorable circumstances to
roaintain it's healthfulness. This year
there was no extreme in any State and the
conditions We're as a rule alike favorable
to bottom lands and uplands. Cultivation
has been pushed, and crops have been
laid by in good trim, with very little loss
TO stand in cutting out grass. The plant
has grown rapidly, and has maintained
almost perfect health except in some
localities, and as rule the back kwardness
due TO late planting has been nearly, if
not entirely, overcome. The percentage
has been advanced to 81 against % at the
close Of June. The following is the con-
dition of the crop By states:
virginia 90. South Carolina 81, Florida
