ONH OP Tim b?st known
Washington correspondents,
Mr. Wellman, has explained
tho reason for tho refusal
of the hruso military committer to
consider nt this time tho nnny reor
ganization bill. Ho cays tt Is tho re
sult of a quarrel between General
Miles and the officers of tho oidnanco
bureau. Mllt-s wanted fixed gun car
riages; tho ordnanct officers favored
the disappearing typo of carrliigo. In
etrad of arguing tho matter In n re
spectful manner, tho ordnanco peoplo
piOCfedod to accusa Miles of tmpropor
motives, and followed that up by
blot-klng tho protrreas of tho army bill,
vlilch Included a clause for Mllea pro
notion, Aocordlnu to Mr. Wellman,
tin ordnanco department Is In many
ways the meet powerful bureau of tb
war establishment. Throurh tho ar
eerals, gun faotorlea and other plant
under Its control It Is able to bo of
El eat service to members of tha houso
military commttteo, and Mr. Wllmar
very pointedly Intimates that when
the ordnanco officers decreed that ths
army bill must b held up o a stroke
In their warfaro on Miles, neither ths
ppcretary of war nor tho preildont of
the United Btatea was Influential
enough to offset their strength.
We preoent th foregolne version for
what It Is worth, merely romarklnu
that Walter Wellman hs seldom inao
rurato. That ther Is sornethlnc In
tho attitude of tha hous military
committer which does not Impress
fovornbly the friends of tt rrtrolnla
tratlon Is protly elaarly hidleaUd lu
the leading editorial In BaUrduys
Philadelphia Press, whleh twitns
thus: ''The refusal of tht hous mili
tary committee to report the army
rrorganlratlon bill, passed by the
senate, Is a mistake. Regardless of
tho merits ol tho bill, It la a. dlscour-
teoua net for a committee of one
branch to pltjconholo n bill passed by
tho other branoh of congress. Tho
liouro Itaolf should have opportunity
to pass on tho merits of tha menauro,
or to drcldo for Itself whether or not
It will tnka tho bill up, for considera
tion. It la n UHUrpntlon for a Iioum
commlttco to iissmno a voto power by
rsfunlng to report either favorably or
adversely n. eenato bill that may bo
referred to In tho regular routine of
tho work of tho house. Dut that I
what Mr. Hull' commlttco has dona
with tho army reorganization bill."
On tho merits of tho Iloot bill thcro
can hardly bo two honest opinion.
Tho very fact that subordinate oin
ccra Ilka Commissary General ICagnn
or llko tho ordnanco ofllccr who lately
let fly a volloy of vltuperatlvo accusa
tlon -at tho major general command
ing nro, under tho propont aystom,
continuously Insubordinate and ex
empt fiotn dlsclpllno chowa tho need
of a rovlBlon of tho existing utaff syH
tom and makes n direct Ibsuo between
Intelligent public oplnfon and tho
buroaucmtlo Influences that aro en
deavoring to sttflo army reforms.
Whether MIKs himself la any better Is
not material In thlH connection; tho
fact Is that tho whplo army wtaff needo
reorganization. It needa to be put Into
a condition of modern mllltnry UHeful
ikss. It needa to bo dlventod of Its
ernggerlnK popinjays, swelled heads,
drqnca and fossils, and reduced from
a thing of gorgeous but no-account
1eauty to a factor fit to have chargo
of tho machine: y upon which our gal
lant lighting lads depend for equip
ment find suppllCR.
"In order to Impeach Governor
Btino and mako tho future socuro It

-ylin SITUATION In Kentucky
continues io do one or minu
ter import, tho latest de
velopment being tho most
Blnlrttcr of all. To get tho facta straight,
wo will quote them from tho Cincin
nati Commercial Tribune:
"On April 10 a batch of Indictments
wna returned by tho Franklin county
grand Jury charging prominent Ken
tucky Republican citizens and ofllclnlo
with complicity In tho assassination of
Stato Senator William Goeb.'l. Inci
dental accusation was made against
Governor William fi. Taylor, and whllu
there was no record mado of Indictment
rigaltiHt him, thero was persistent re
port from Insldo sources that such a
bill existed. Governor Tiylor, who wa i
nbrent from tho i tato at tho time, re
turned to tho capital and demanded
Bvrvlco of any paioro outstanding
agalnut him, lie was given no tatla
factlon beyond tho Information that
nothing In tho records of tho court In
dicated tho filing of an accusing docu
ment. "Following his deposition from ofTlcn
Governor Taylor left the btate for a
senon of rest und recuperation from
tho exluiustlng ordeal through which
ho had p.itaod. Immediately tho hye
nas that had for months boon hound
ing him pronounced Governor Taylor
a fugltlvo and proclaimed through tho
milium of their nssissln organs that
ho had fled to encnpo rervlee of u bench
wan ant on an existing Indictment.
Theivupon Governor Taylor's attorneys
demanded publicity of the court's rec
ords and Information as to whether or
not thero wan held In suppression any
gmnd Jury return of Implication against
him. This renownl of Importunity In
bohalf of Governor Taylor resulted In
development of the desired Informa
tion. Judgo Cantrlll on May SI mado
acknowledgment to tho attorneys that
tho grand Jury returns of April 19 In
cluded an Indictment charging Will
iam S. Taylor with complicity In con
spiracy contemplating tho aosaRsina
tlon of William Goebel."
What does thin state of facta Dig
nify? In tho llrot place, desplto gross
fraud In the couit, Tnyloi was elected
governor. Secondly, by grosn fraud In
tho lugUlaturo, ho waa unseated. And
now, when It appears that ho Is likely
to bo a cnndldato b"foro the people of
Kentucky for ro-olectlon at their hands,
tho fruit of the Pemoorntlc UQO.OOO
prlco fund for tho production of per
jured testimony shows fotth in an In
dictment, for Mx weeks Illegally sup
pressed, stigmatising Taylor with com
plicity In GoeUcl's murder. Well may

Tho twenty-fifth anniversary of tho

an extra Issue, resplendent with hand

The Chlcagfi antl-clgarotto league
has taken hold of tho right end of tho

L, He is a wuiglier, and works about the wharves and ware
houses. He said that always after eating he would be
troubled with gases, and there would be a sensation asl
of a load on the pit of his 6tomach which made him;
very uncomfortable.
IJ , Toll, what good did tlw Ripans do him ?
I I don't know how they did it, but he eoys they were effect

quickly one would give him relief. I think it is quile
remarkable-, for he is a confirmed dyspeptic and hh

didn't seem to think anything could reach his case.
