A MERITORIOUs MEASURE.

One bill has passed the present congress
which. though it has attracted little public
attention, is full of merit The presump-
ton is that its positive merit must have
also escaped the attention Of Democratic
members, Is the record does not report
any obstructive tactics ct their hands, as
has been the case in regard to the most of
proposed beneficial legislation.
This Is law to substitute capacity and
fitness, rather than mere seniority, as the
controlling factor in making official pro-
motions in the army. 1t provides that in
every grade below the rank of Brigadier-
General. in each arm or department Of the
service. competitive examination shall
precede promotion. A preference 10 still to
be given to the officer next in order of
seniority, but he or those following in
length Of service must measure up to Q re-
quired standard or make room for q
brighter and filter man, more recently
commissioned.
1t ID well known to all who have been ia
miliar with and intslligently observant of
the subject, that In many cases the old
iron-clad seniority rule has worked mis-.
chief and ofttimes disaster to the service.
1t has acted rs bar to studious habits and
efforts to improve. Secure of promotion on
the sole score oflength Of service, many Of

prodigate dissipation. They have become

discoveries in military science.

late civil war millions Of treasure and
hundreds Of thousands of lives were sacri.
