ment Of amity stronger than the hasty anger
that dictated the march to Saarbriicken.
One excellent element in contest that At
tracts so much attention is that the opponents
should be closely matched. The experience at
Croedmoor has enabled us to expect this fea-
ture with certainty at Dollymount. We may
also feel perfect assurance that our r1fiemen
are going to make very good record.
The shooting they have done since landing in
Ireland, is not only literally up to the marx,
it surpasses their average. This disposes OF
q widespread fear that the fatigues OF the
voyage, the novelty Of their surroundings,
and tho lavish hOspitalities to which
they have been subjected might have affected
their accuracy of aim. But they are men who
are not easily shaken. Their last shots in the
contest with the Irish team at Creedmoor, when
everything depended upon the last shots, were
better than the first.
OF all manly sports, riAe-shOOting is open to
the fewest Obiections-if indeed, to any. 1t Is
wholesOmer than billiards, because it requires
open air. The charge of cruelty that is sometimes
brought against the sports of the rod and gun,
have here no application. There is no such
danger of entertaining or Overstraining, as
there may be in almost all athletic contests.
If the enthusiasm for rifle matches which has
overspread England should have its parallel
hore, the results would be of unquestiOnable
benefit to our citizen sOldiery. 1t was quite
possible a few years ago, to be trained
miltiA-man without any capacity for shoot
ing. Men have been known to go
through tho whole seven years service
of the New-York State militia. without ever
once firing off loaded gun, and not even
blank cartridges more than two or three times
in year. The regiments are already muchim-
proved in this respect, and every private now has
the opportunity to become a marksman. What he
chiefly requires in addition to practice, es-
peciaIly in match, is nerve. America has
been called by famous physician the land of
nerves. In regard to abundance and potency
of nervous diseases, he thought we could give
odds to the rest Of the world Perhaps we
may demonstrate at Dollymount superiority
in the very opposite of nervousness-in strength
of nerve.

One Of the best reasons for doing a thing, accord
ing TO popular logic is the fact that il has been done
before. And this chiefly because the human race is
always glad to escape the necessity of thinking.
Mr. Spencer has given some curious examples of the
myriad tiny incOnvenenccs of everyday life entailed
by the notion that grandsons by possibility i'm
prove their grandfathers, and no less instructive
example may be observed any day by any one who
braves the dangers of the horse The logic of
the conductor seems TO he that when warm weather
approaches, and windows are opened and doors
stand aeape to admit all the air to the square inch
the car can hold, that is the time to allow smokers
with cigars, cigarettes, and pipes-everything
short of o hookah--to crowd tbs front plat
form and blow their blue gales through the
ear. Conductors are not expected to DO natural
philosophers or men OF scientific tnrn-for the rail-
road companies cannot ask all the virtues at S2 "a
day-but little common sense ought to teach not
only the conductors but all officials concerned
that this smoke must inevitably find its way
into ladies' faces and perhaps into weak lungs. The
smokers ought not to have platform at all, GER
tany not in front nor in the rear for then ladies'
must run tho gauntlet Of the weed in a vaporous
state. The smokers had better walk-and everybody
who can might well follow their example.

ened sympathy on both sides of the Atlantic,

Communication bill. The measure thus kept off
the statute book was well meant, no doubt,
but its only effect as a law would be to lessen

The potato is an unfortunate tuber. In 1915
it was the subject Of the most destructive dis
ease that has ever attacked the vegetable food
OF man. 70 this day the cause of the potato rot
is almost as much mystery as when it caused
the Irish famine The health of the plant has
not yet been fully restored everywhere, the
rot still prevailing in parts of Great Britain.
But in this country the potato was in general
pretty sound especially at the West. There
its new enemy has svertaken it, and within
few years past We have heard terrible stories
of the Colorado potato-bug. This insect has
been steadily travelling on its devastating path,
crossing the Mississippi and the Alleghenies, till
now we have it in Westchestcr and Kings
Counties Nothing but Paris green seems to
interfere with its existence successfully. AS
all things have their uses, perhaps the mission
of this insect pest is to promote cleanliness i'll

fore they are cooked.

Recent removals of Tammany Offceholders,
with which Controller Green has had to do, have
excited comment among city politicians, and
anxious inquiries have been made by some
perturbed Democrats whether Mr.. Green is to
unite with the new Anti-Tammany movement
and declare open war on Tammany Hall. The
adversaries of John Kelly, Mayor Wickham,
and other leaders at the FOurteenth-st. head
quarters, talk bravely ofextending organization
in Assembly districts, and of disafectiOn in the
Tammany General Committee. But so long as
certain shrewd political manipuators, who are
not friendly to the Tammany Sachems, hest

new effort-as they now do-and so long as
the effort itself is so much more sinewy in as
