JATIOUL GUARD ID ITS D0IN6S Cases of Financial Irregularities Becoming More Frequent and a Remedy Is Needed Recent Court of Inquiry Report Seems to 'Have Become Lost, Gossip From the Armories number fit officers wto have been compelled to get out of the Guard owing to irregularities in the financial manage ment of their company's affairs demon strates that there is something radically wrong in the system governing the handling of military funds. Cases of financial irregularities are becoming eo frequent aa to cast a blot upon the entire body. De falcations are not new, but that they should increase in number proves the grav ity ot the situation, the question arises as to the best method of stopping these irrerulanties.

Hie law provides a lull and sufficient penalty for the wrong-doer, but the Jaw seldom or never enlorcea. I have known of a number of cases where officers were found t-hort in their financial accounts, but I have never heard of a case in which the delinquent was punished. In fact, the delinquent has been allowed all sorts of grace to make good, and then is given an honorable discharge. It is said that the reason for not punishing delinquent officers is to avoid public scandal, and yet the very suppression of feuch cases cannot but offer encouragement to others to go wrong. "Whether or not the administering of the full legal punishment would have a deterrent effect time only can tell.

The penalty of hanging has not caused a decrease in murders, and it may be that punishment for defalcations in military funds would not prove a remedy. But there should at least be a discharge without honor; in other words, an officer forced out for financial or other irregularities should not be eligible to be reeommisioned in the Onard in any capacity. I have heard a suggestion that a brake would be put upon financial irregularities if the accounts of accounting officers were inspected at the spring inspections. There is a part of the Hutter Book where these accounts can be set forth and the vouchers, for expenditures and balances, easily determined. The band accounts should also be produced and accounting officers should be absolutely prohibited from depositing company funds with their individual funds- All vouchers and balances could be readily verified at the spring inspection, and tins might prove a check.

Colonel Coryell has ordered drilling resumed in the Sixth Infantry and the companies are again at work. In the same order the battalion commanders are detailed as summary courts for their respective battalions. It is likely that Lieutenant Colonel Cornwell will assume command of the Chester battalion of the Sixth, as Major Evans goes on leave in another month and will go abroad. The penetrating power of the magazine rifles is being demonstrated at the range of the First Infantry- The bullet stops in front of the firing points, which are covered with heavy steel plates, will require renewing at the end of the current season, short as it is, owing to the bullets are bulging and disintegrating them. AVith the fall and winter drill season opening up, officers should give more attention to ihe instruction in aiming and sighting in the armones.

This part of the drill regulations has always been observed in a perfunctory way, but the time lias come when intelligent work must be had. The armory, in the long indoor season, is the proper place for instruction in sighting and aiming, and regimental and battalion commanders should see to it that the company officers give due attention to this important part of the drill curriculum. The finding of court of inquiry in the recent alleged substitution in Company Sixth Infantry, seems to have become sidetracked somewhere, lieutenant Colonel Ilartung, who sat as the court, forwarded his report many weeks ago, and the report has passed through First Brigade headquarters arid up to division headquarters. At the last-named place the halt has come. Nothing has been heard of the matter since the papers left brigade headquarters, and it is rime that some one should get a move on and announce the finding.

It is due to the officer at whom the inquiry was directed, as well as to the service in general, that the finding be made public without further delay. Company First Infantry, was at the range yesterday trying to qualify all of its members, and the Old Guard of the company took advantage of the occasion to nave a "Field Day" at the cosy club house of the company situated at the range. A circular has been issued to the officers of the First Infantry warning them against procuring uniforms of the new pattern until after the next meeting of the board of officers of the regiment. Major General Miller will tender a reception to Governor Pennypacker and staff at the Nursery Club, at Franklin, on the evening of September Invitations have been sent to a number of officers of the line of the guard, as well as to the brigade commanders and their staffs, and there will be a nortable gathering of military men at the Major General's home on the date named. A most excellent guide for non-commissioned officers is a handbook compiled by Captain M.

B. Eighth Infantry, Tr. S. and published by the Hudson-Tvirnberiey Company, Kansas City, Mo. Captain Stewart has collated in a very compact manner all references to the duties of the non-com as laid down in the various text-books and regulations, and lias added many paragraphs of customs of the service, with which every subaltern should become familial-.

This book is of distinctive value to the non-commissioned officers of the State's forces and should be issued to each company. Third Brigade Motes ThP armoiT of Company A.

As this is impossible, it is not likely that he will allow himself to be seriously considered as a candidate. The idea of this general boom of Judge Gray is, as stated once before, for the purpose ot proving that the Democratic party still has men within its membership in Delaware who are above the petty jealousies which have disrupted the party in the past just as the Republican party has been disrupted.

Jealous of Leader As a matter of fact much of the opposition which ha? been shown in the Republican party to the leadership of J. Edward Addicks is not due to any personal objection to Addicks so much as it is due to the old jealousy against a successful leader which breaks out from time to time. There was a time "when George Y. Massey was the leader of the Republicans, at least in a great portion of Delaware. His leadership was all right until it became known that he would like to be United States Senator and then he was bowled out by the Higgins people and Anthony Higgins was elected.

The election of Higgins made him the leader ot the Kepubhcans and once more the opposition broke out and in course of time Higgins was relegated to the past and J. Edward Addicks became the leader of one faction and Henry A. DuPont became the leader of the other. The DuPont faction has continued to grow smaller and Addicks held his position and carried elections despite the efforts of the others to oust him from the leadership. There has been a similar condition ot affairs in the Democratic party, except that the Democratic organization has been so split in pieces that there wa not trough ot it left to have a real leader.

Sanlsbnrj Knifed Because Willard Saulsbury carried some elections and showed an indication of wanting to be United States Senator, he was put on the shelf and some of those opposed to him even went so tar as to knife the Democratic ticket because Us success would have meant the election ot Saulsbury to the United States Senate. Others went to work and knifed the ticket in certain places because they were of the opinion that John Bicgs would receive some votes for Senator in case the Democratic ticket be elected, and i-o the cutting and trcaeherv has gone on for years in both the Republican and the Democratic parties. Many people in this State would like to see the time come when a solid Republican party can oppose a solid Democratic party and issues can be met and faced ranly and squarely. It would then be possible for people the State to vote their sentiments and to rally to the support of their own party. At the present time this is impossible.

Men do not vote the Democratic or the Republican ticket on account of the principles involved so much as they vote it for the sake of some man Mho is at the head of that particular faction for which they vote. A man in Delaware is no longer a plain Democrat or a plain Republican. li is DuPont Republican, a Union Republican or a get -together Kepublioan. a Saulsbury Democrat, a Biggs Democrat, a Gray Democrat, or -ome other kind ot a Democrat. Good government would be better served if both parties would burv the differences in their own ranks and face each other on the isies of the day with solid iront.

MARYLAND RESORT SUFFERED Ocean City Hotels Felt Effect of Last Week's Storm Special to The Inquirer. OCEAN CITY, Sept. 19.

This resort suffered severely from Wednesday's storm and much rebuilding will be necessary. Many cottages were eeripusly Special to The Inquirer. WILMINGTON. Sept. 19 Chiefly interesting in political circles this week has been the strenuous effort which has been made by the Democrats and Regular Republicans of this section to keep before the public.

The Regular Republican plan to keep before the people was to agitate the subject of the removal of Miss Huldah B. Todd from the postoffice at Greenwood, and the Democratic plan was to urge the selection of Federal Judge George Gray for President of the United States as a means of showing that there is one really large Democrat left in Delaware. There has also been some attention paid to the resignation of District Attorney William Michael Byrne, and there have been numerous explanations made as to why he got out of office. As a matter of fact, had Mr. Byrne been a Democrat he would have been admired for his ability, and he would have been one of the leaders of his party, but there is no chance for any one to make much of a future in the Republican party at the present time, and therefore Mr.

Byrne was wise deciding to locate in New York. Tired of Postoffice Fight The people of Delaware are really getting tired of all of this agitation over the removal of Miss Todd from the Greenwood postoffice. Of course, her friends do not like to see her removed, but this matter would not have received more than a passing notice had the postmaster removed been a man. Being a woman the so-called Regular Republicans had a chance to make political capital out of the subject, and they did it. The Democrats took up the candidacy of United States Judge George Gray for President on the Democratic ticket as their method of showing that they are alive and doing something.

It was also necessary, as previously stated, to show that there is one really large Democrat in Delaware. Previous to Judge Gray being boomed for President the people outside of Delaware had come to the conclusion that all of the real large Democrats were dead. There were numerous "ex's" among the prominent Democrats who spoke in favor of the candidacy of Judge Gray, at the meeting of the Young Men's Democratic Club, in this city, at which the resolutions commending him were adopted. Those included ex-Judge Marvel. ex-fecretary of Staff ITarvev Wbiteman.

Evervbody in Delaware will bo glad if Judge Gray should be nominated for President on the Democratic ticket, for thev are proud of him and proud of the part which he has recently taken in settling labor disputes, but no one lias the slightest idea that he will be nominated SEEK TO IMPROVE CHRISTIANA RIVER Wilmington Board of Trade niSHIIRRRS PlanS for SeCUr- I ing Increased Appropriation 1 Bulkheading Believed Most Feasible Plan, But Cash Will Only Permit Dredging Shoals Special to The Inquirer. WILMINGTON, hept.

19 This afternoon the new Harbor Improvement Committee appointed by the Board of Trade held its first meeting and discussed the subject of getting an increased appropriation for the ivork of improving the Christiana. United States Senators Ball and Alice have erven their assurance that they -will do everything possible to assist the committee in its work and Senator Alice was present this afternoon for the purpose of becoming familiar with the needs of the city for harbor improvement. Bulkheading the Remedy It is the opinion of a number of business men here and a number of the mem bers of the committee that the only proper way to make the improvement of the Christiana River permanent is by bulk- heading the stream on both sides and thus preventing the mud from the banks washing back into the channel. It is also the opinion that the city of Wilmington, which dumps large quantities of sewage into the stream, should do something toward assisting in the work of dredging. Only Money for Dredging Bids for dredging away some of the Bhoals in the river will be received by the United States engineer in this citv on October 2, but.

there is only available for the purpose, and this will only enable the engineers to dredge out the shoals and will not allow them to pay much, attention to other parts of the stream.
