Reasons That Induced, Commissioners Black
Co Request His Resignation.
epecia1 TO the Indianapolis Journsa-
WASHINGTON Jan. 18.-This afternoon the
journal correspondent learned at the Pension
Once that Chester R. Faulkner, of Indiana, who
has been for about two years chief of the rec
ords division, would retire from official life and
resume his old position as private secretary to
Senator Voorhees, It was with some difficulty
that the facts which led Faulkner to conclude to
retire could be ascertained, as but few knew
them. There was. however, a general appre-
henson among employees of his division that
something was going wrong with him, and that
he did not 60 to Indiana for his health amuse-
ment. Faulkner has found his official duties
very unpleasant for some time, and has been
on the point of resigning for six months. He
told q friend last fall that if he could
get back his place in the Senate he would
leave the Pension Office; but the reasons as
signed at the Pension Office for his retirement
are interesting. In the frst place, Commission
or Black. it is said in the office, has been much
annoyed over the incident which occurred at
the lunch Faulkner spread the day before
Christmas, in which a woman figured, and
which was related by the Journal few days
afterwards. Il is also said that Faulkner was
the principal actor in horse drama which had
some influence IN Dr1nglngaDout MS retirement.
1t 10 reported that he sold horse recently to a
widow in this city, guaranteeing the animal to
be entirely sound, gentle, and altogether such a
beast rs a lady would want to drive, seven years
old. and 80 forth. The purchaser paid for the
animal, and took him to a livery stable to be
kept for her, when ir was discovered that it was
tricky, ugly generally, fifteen years old. and so
doctored that it was made in old age to look
young. The woman who made the purchase is
not famous for amiability, and so she went to the
Pension Office and it took but few minutes to
make the Judge look very tired. At the con-
sluslon of the interview she had her money
back and the Judge was again possessor Of the
horse: This transaction, 1T Is stated. was re-
ported to General Black. who decided that the
Scion Single of the Office should be
cused from further service. So Faulkner was
detailed 10 make some special examinations in
Indiana, with the understanding that he would
resign. There is general regret in his division,
for Faulkner is kindly man and generous
officer, and he endeared himself to all who
worked with him. He is honest and has rem
dered excellent service.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Muncie G. A. II. Matter.
Editor of the yns7iaoaroIis yourp,i.

ms 4f4uucie IL n. To- NAatt6T
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
A paragraph appeared in the Journal of the
10th instant, stating that a new G. A. R. post
sought to be established in Muncie,
count of political split in the ranks Of the Will
liams Post. From whence your correspondent
drew his inspiration the writer's know not but
that the article in question contains a grave,
though net necessarily wilful error, ia be-
yond doubt-an error that might easily have
been rectifed by consultation with great
many soldiers of the Williams Post, as well as
others outside thereof. Undoubtedly there is q
split in that post, and undoubtedly a charter for
another post will be applied for, but this is, and
will be. for reasons, outside of politics So far is
this split removed from the Observation-Disclosures
ant, alleged by your cor respondent, that it was
inaugurated and is supported by old, true and
tried Republicans. Men of both parties have
asked for transfers-others will surely follow.
and unless we get a new post established, these
and others desiring to enter the G. A Il. ranks
will not do so, they decline to enroll IN the
Williams Post under any circumstances
1t is true that there are Democrats who never
belonged to any post. who have gwen their
names as charter mem bers of the intended new
post but this has political significance what
ever. In fact, as founders of the new post, tie
writer's and others do not desire, as e. A. H.
soldiers, to deal with politics, but to administer
purely G. A r. matters, and, as such, to know
and recognize neither Republicans nor Democrats
but only the soldier who fought for the Union,
when the whole fabric of this great government
threatened with destruction-the govern
ment which has since that time realized in
magnitude. political grace and power at home
and abroad. the widest dreams of her most en-
thusastic votaries
The article in question accused the Demo
Gratis of the Williams Post of being stunned to
the back bone" whatever that may meanl be-
cause of the sharp rebuke that the post has
given General Black and President Cleveland.
but we feel that the G.. A. r. ought not to be
body political, and we note the fact that the ar
tlcle in question, and the Williams Post are so
compounded of lpoltics TO proclaim them
very akin.
No political motive can be rightly assigned to
our application for charter for second post
in Muncie. Many good soldiers, who will not
under any circumstances JOIN the Williams
Post. will gladly enrol in the proposed new post
founded as it is. simply on G. A. r. principles
The G. A. r. cannot afford to lose them We
believe that another post here in Muncie will
greatly conduce to the general good of the order,
especially when we take into consideration the
recent large and rapid growth of our city.

MINOR MATTERS.


The. President Will Try to Improve the Nor
ais of the Army and Navy.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lS.-Men in the regular
army and navy say the President is pursuing q
course which he is determined shall bring about
a better moral order of affairs than has existed
for some time. During the early part of the
administration men in the army and navy who
were court-martialed on the charge OF drunken
ness or desertion other Irregularities and
sentenced, Immediately brought to bear upon
the chief executive all the influence at their
command to have the sentence not confirmed.
In someinstances they were successful, and the
order of the courts martial was reversed. Pres
ident Cleveland is reported to have come to the
conclusion that there is entirely too much dissi-
patton and looseness in the regular service; that
there should be some very concise and positive
action, and that he will steadily refuse to con-
slider any kind of political influence brought TO
bear 10 set aside the decision of courts martial.
The Adjutant. general has been reporting from
year to year a steady increase in the number of
assertions in the army, ard very many OF the
applications which come before the President
for pardons or the reversion of sentences in
the of deserters- These especially are to
be considered in cold blood, and where the cir
cumstances do not guarantee such extenua
ton as would be taken into consideration by
court the President intends to refuse to inter-
fere. The men who have been debauching
themselves by drink and other designations, and
who have helped to bring down the standard of
the army and navy, are also TO receive the iron
frown of the man at the White House
