.DISGUSTED Mr.. WHITNEY.
THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY TIRED
or PETTY BlckeRlNes.

The Jeaiousies Between Line ana stafs
0fiicers, the Delay in the Ordnance De-
partment and the Lack of Cooperation
by subordinates Elements of Trouble.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE report
that Secretary Whitney will tender his
resignation before the 4th of next March
is undoubtedly correct. Mr.. Whitney,.
however, will not resign on account Of
Ill health. The whole truth of the mat
ter is that he has not met with that
hearty cooperation that he expected
from his subordinates, and has become
disguised with the petty quarrels of the
two branches of the seryice-the line and
the staff. When Mr.. Whitney entered
the cabinet he determined to reform
some of the methods of his department.
The different bureaus previous to the in
coming of the new administration had
kept separate accounts, but Mr.. Whitney
decided to consolidate this system, and
accordingly placed the full control of such
matters in the hands of the paymaster
general. Whenever any bureau needs
stores or material of any sort its chief is
UpA&eu W iudke Ie4ulSlulOn through bne
pay department, though formerly no such
action was necessary. The new order of
things was not to the taste of Mr.. Whit
ney's s~ubordinates, and they have OPP
posed him In every way. The quarrels
between the two branches of the service,
caused principally by the opposition Of
the line officers to the efforts made to
have the pay of the staff made equal to
their own, have Disguised the secretary
with the navy and he has not hesitated
in saying so. Again, the ordnance de-
partment has given him much trouble in
being SO backward with the guns for the
new cruisers, and the secretary has
limited that a change in the personnel of
the bureau would take place if matters
were not hurried. Mr.. Whitney has
worked so hard and faithfully for the
achievement of his liberal IDEAS that the
poor efforts o the part of those below
him seem small in comparison, and he
has accordingly determined to let Mr..
Cleveland place the management of the
navy in the hands of some other person.

" The Alabama State Treasury has

continues her hand to-mouth existence"
The trouble is Mississippi is too busy
Enaag sSPa aeD hsi RS5B0 Aaaa and an
unfunded debt of $3,00O,0OO. To meet
her current expenses Alabama lays tax
of Do cents on every 800 and raises

Mississippi has debt of S3,200,0O0 of
which 80 1000 is a school fund debt,
and raises 100000 year for expenses.
The tax rate is % cents on 800.
If Mississippi with no heavier expense
than now should levy tax as heavy as
Alabama, she would have 100000
yearly to lay aside in the treasury.
With oneNhalf the State tax rate and
no debt 100000 year less State taxes
to pay, there is no good reason for cry
ing about Alabama being so much better
off than Mississippi-Meridian News.
