TO BE SET ASIDE


TO BE SET ASIDE.
Army ofncers who are not so lucky as to have
held stan appointments have taken alarm at
the action of Major General Schofeld in ap-
pointing his brother an aid-de-camp on his
staff. 1t was Secretary Endicott's policy to
distribute these places, which he
regarded as educational among officers who
had previously been employed in connection
with their regiments. When their appoint
ments as staff officers expired he held that thew
had acquired all Of the benefits likely to be re-
ceived from the places, and that they should
give way to other officers. Secretary Endicott's
position in this matter gave rise to some frlc-
tion with army officers high in rank, but was
generally well received by the line.
In the present instance the ::aid-de-camp has
already served a number of years in that capa-
city. and it is feared that his reappointment will
establish a precedent which will be seized upon
by the other major-generals as an excuse for
overtnrning the practice established by Secre-
tary Endicott

After the adjournment of the Senate yester.
day the republican caucus resumed its sitting,
and disposed of the two questions under con-

was adopted, however, to give Senator Vance.
of North Carolina. a personal clerk. He has
lost one eye and the sight of the other is fail
ing, and his republican colleagues deemed il
only just that he should be spared the necessity
of using his remaining eye to conduct his official
