Reorganization of the Navy Bill Advances in Senate
Senator Stockton's navy reorganization bill, supported by Senator Malay, restructures officer grades to commodore and lieutenant commander, abolishes passed midshipman and master ranks, creates a retired officer system, and expands academy placements and naval personnel bureaus. The bill sets quantified officer numbers and pay scales, authorizes merit promotions, and introduces a judge advocate, with Stanton offering a competing, less likely path.

A State Journal review declares the Democrats hypocritical on banking from the US Bank dispute to a general Banking law. It traces the shift from state banks to nationwide reform, the Legislature and Governor backing then opposing the law, and ends with the claim that democracy proved insincere. The piece teases further chapters in reserve.
