The report OF Major Buck, of the
Third infantry, ON the Kentucky mill.
tia lie a mild but significant arraign-
ment OF the administration, and steps
should at once be taken to rectify ex.
listing defects. The value of a good,
we'll disciplined militia is never fully
appreciated until troops are needed
most, and then the inefficiency shows
up to the worst possible advantage.
Major Buck says there is too much of
that evil so apparent in Kentcky, of
appointing men for personal reasons
on the various stats and As officers,
instead of appointing them for their
ability. In fact, it may Re seen from
his report that be finds the Kentucky
militia, particularly as to the officers,
principally coterie OF administration
favorites, with few earnest. well
meaning and hard working men who
never get chance to do anything but
keep up the organization for the bene-
fit of the lazy incompetents who are
members for pleasure, profit or promi-
nence. Now that the world can see
what Kind of state guard Kentucky
has, it is time to begin . reformation
that will not stop until Kentucky
ranks with the hest.
