200, 500, and 600 yards on the first day, and
800, Geo. and 900 yards on the second. Each
team will consist of twelve men, and each
man will be allowed seven rounds at each of
the six ranges. 1t will be observed that the
length of the last three ranges exceeds what
has hitherto been considered strictly mill
tary distance in this country, although on
the other side rifle practice among the vol
unteers has for some time included the maxi
mum ranges, and it is possible that the
American team will be at some disadvantage
on that account. However, hard work at
the ranges during the time that still remains
for practice may yet put our men on equal
footing with the British team in that respect.
Although shooting at long range has not
been cultivated to any considerable extent
by our local militia, the National Guard,
nevertheless, boasts some crack shots, and if
our visitors win the match, it will only be by
a display of extraordinary skill and nerve.
Some of our readers may be disposed, per-
haps, to ask what useful purpose these trials
of craftsmanship between representatives of
the volunteer services of the two countries
is likely to serve. We answer that they
tend, in the first place, to create practical
interest on the part of our militia in the
skillful use Of the rifle, which is a matter of
very considerable Importance, and in the sec
ond place, they excite a rivalry among
manufacturers that cannot but result in the
improvement of their guns. We are aware
that personal courage is much more i'm
portant element in soldiers makeup than
dexterity in the handling of his gun, but
good craftsmanship is sometimes a very
essential qualification also, and it is undoubt-
edly true that nothing gives soldier greater
confidence than familiarity with the use of
his weapon. For this reason we are glad to
see that the members of the National Guard
are making such feature of rifle practice,
and although we trust that there will never
he occasion to call them into active service,
we cannot help feeling that they will be the
better fitted thereby to take the field should
the country ever have need of them

A Lie Nailed.

THE President has signed the S100,0OO,000
Pension bill. n flagrant and unwarrantable
waste of the public mOney.-Ne'0 York Star.
The corrupt organ of that gigantic fraud,
John Kelly, the Tammany Hall boss, cannot
notice the approval of the Pension bill with
out denouncing is as g flagrant and unwar-
rantable waste of the public money" 1t is
of course useless to attempt to demonstrate
to snch scurrilous sheets that the appropria-
ton by Congress for this purpose was in
payment simply of portion of its honest
debts to the soldier. The shamefaced liars
who give utterance to such statements as the
above do so with full knowledge of their
falsity; but that makes no diference to
them. 1t is point" scored against the
soldier, and that is enough. Such publica-
tions, however, demonstrate the necessity
existing for the widespread circulation of
such defender of soldiers rights as THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE in order to cOunteract
the effect of such utterances. In battling
with Congress to secure the passage OF this
and other measures of relief we have had no
tri1ing duty to perform. THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE has labored single-handed against
the powerful though ignorant and corrupt
daily press, and that it has scored some
signal triumphs is just cause for congratula-
ton. If comrades all over the country
would rally unitedly to our support and
give us subscription list of 100000 or
more, we promise that the interests of the
soldier in Congress shall be fully protected,

great dailies to the contrary Notwithstanding,

the very age when they are most susceptible
to impression through the senses, we persist
in cramming them with abstract knowledge
the applicability of which to things about
them they do not in the least understand.
Go into any classroom where the pupils
are Ieciting the tables of weights and meas
ures and you will find that they have but
the vaguest idea of actual quantities and
dimensions, except where the arbitrary SYM
Dol happens to be something which they
have seen or felt. But it is not simply
object teaching that we are pleading for
although that is the foundation of all sue
cussful instruction in the case of the young
but actual, industrial training, such as will
fit our boys for any at least of the simpler
trades and ground them in the rudimentary
mechanical knowledge necessary to the
mastery of those requiring special skill and
talent. Why not supplement our school
rooms with small workshops, in which such
of our youth as display any taste for me-
chanical pursuits may receive instruction in
the practical arts? Why compel them to
plod through studies which have no interest
for them, and which in all probability will
be of no benefit to them? Time is never so
precious as in youth, and mistakes in educa-
ton are the hardest of all to rectify. In
these days, when the dignity of labor is so
firmly established, it seems to US almost
sinful to make abstract mental culture the
sole object of our educational system and
neglect manual training altogether, and our
taxpayers, upon whom the burden of sup
porting the public schools of the country
rests, ought to enter a vigorous protest
against this system.

edly the nearness of the raw materials to the
centres of demand, and the growth OF
railway facilities Within the last ten years
the coal product of the prairie States has
more than doubled, reaching in 1880 total of
1881 490 tons, or about one-fourth the out
put of the entire country-a fact which of it
self goes far towards explaining the progress
which the West has made in manufactures.
AS natural consequence of this progress, the
tendency of population to concentrate in
the cities has manifested itself in quite as
remarkable degree as in the East. The
prairie States now contain one hundred and
sixteen cities of more than 1900 inhabitants
each, with total population of 3544 $50, as
against but 1,2O8,561 in 1860 1t might be
supposed that the effect of this movement
would be to deplete the farms, but as a mat
ter of fact the loss of rural population is
made good by the volume of immigration
from foreign countries.
AS another indication of the rapidity
with which wealth has accumulated in the
West, it may be worth while to give the
banking statistics of that section. Accord
ing to the tables prepared by Comptroller
Knox, the number of national banks in 1880
was 655, with capital of 5000 $50 and
individual deposits of $163,435, ,826.S5. In
the same year the number of State banks,
trust companies, private banks and savings
institutions was 1888, the capital $45,-
743O07 and deposits $3.50, ,633,732. In this
connection it should be mentioned that
the West is also a very large holder of
United States securities, 10,415 persons
owning about S40,0OO,0O0 of our registered
bonds. We might go on in this way to give
the amount of capital invested in insurance
companies, the internal revenue taxes paid
NEARLY one-half the entire receipts of the
Government from this source), the Stats
tics of education (there are upwards of
10000 schools, costing 100000 annually,
the number of newspapers and libraries,
etc, but space is lacking, and we advise
our readers to procure the work from which
we have quoted and study it for themselves.
We cannot dismiss the subject, however,

amounted to S59,931, ,553, whereas in 1880
they had decreased to $36565, $50, the total

date being S49,979, ,514, for the Middle "ia.az

The NIiIitnrY Rifle Match.

The international rifle match which
be shot at the Creedmoor ranges next
promises to attract even greater attention
than the famous contests of previous years,
although it will take place under very diff
ferent conditions than heretofore. 1t may,
perhaps, interest such of our veterans as
have not lost their fondness for the rife, to
know what these conditions are. In the
first place, then, it should be said that the
contestants, instead of being selected from
the whole body of skilled marksmen in
England and the United States, will be
chosen respectively from the volunteer SER
vice of Great Britain and our own National
Guard, the basis Of selection, of course, being
the averages made at the preliminary trials.
These trials are still progressing on this side
of the water, but the English team has al
ready been picked out, and the Metford rifle
an English arm-adopted as the weapon
to be used by the British rifemen in the
contest. This rifle is purely military arm,
as distinguished from the fine sporting arm
which our gunmakers have brought to such
perfection, and therein is another point of
difference between the conditions of the ap-
preaching match and those of former meet
ings, for both teams are required to use mill
tary rifles. The object of this is, of course,
to bring the test of craftsmanship down to
the level of actual army practice. Our sport
ing guns, as everybody knows, are far too
costly and cumbersome to be available for
use in the army. Provided as they are with
the most delicate and ingenious cOntri-
vances for promoting accuracy of aim-such
aslevels, scales, sights, pads, and screws-they
could not stand the hard usage to which they
would be subjected in the field, and, indeed,
it is not every soldier that could master
their mysteries What is known as the
military rifle, on the contrary, is weapon
adapted to army service, and such as we
should be likely to equip our sharpshooters
with in the event of another war. The gun
which the British team has adopted is, as
we have said, the Metford, and is represented
to be very effective arm. For the use of
our own marksmen, two new arms have been
designed by our manufacturers, the compara-
tive merits of which still remain to be de-
termined, as well as whether they are equal
to the guns of English make. Former
matches have demonstrated that American
sporting rifles are far superior to those of
English make, but as yet no opportunity has
been afforded for testing the relative virtues
of our military rifles. The coming contest
will, therefore, not only be trial of skill
between British and American marksmen,
but between British and American me-
chanics.
The distances to be shot are respectively,

The National tribune., 1882-08-12


We frequently receive letters from our
ex-soldiers complaining OF the tardiness of
Congress in passing pension measures, and
asking why it is that our Representatives do
not display greater concern for their in
terests The answer is very simple. Our
ex-soldiers do not manifest sufficient concern
themselves. They do not act in concert, and
their influence is not exerted as it should
be- Instead, for instance, of giving their
united support TO some one representative
soldiers paper, they have hitherto divided it
among number of journals of no special
merit, and as a consequence they have not
,erlul advocate in the press.
Ich newspapers as the New
Herald to exercise such a
n public affairs is the fact
ss such an immense cir
cuIation. Coneressmen know that what
they say about public measures is sure to
be read by their constituents and they can
not afford to ignore their existence. Just
the reverse is the truth in the case of the
majority of so-called soldiers newspapers.
Because their circulation as rule is small,
Congressmen are disposed to pay no atten-
ton to their criticisms and fiatter them
selves that it does not make any difference
what is said about them. That such is the
fact is the fault, as we have said, of our ex-
soldiers themselves. If they would exercise
their full influence in Congress they must
withdraw their support from mediocre news
papers and concentrate it on a single repre-
sentative journal such as TIE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. Notwithstanding the time which
has elapsed since the rebellion our ex-sol-
diers still constitute very numerous class
in almost every community, and there is no
reason why such a journal should not have
at least one hundred thousand subscribers,
and exercise as great an influence in Con-
gress as any CT the New York dailies, except
the indisposition which our veterans mani
fest to take united action in regard to any
thing which concerns their interests. If
they would accomplish anything substantial
in the way of pension or bounty legislation
hereafter they cannot too quickly correct
this error. As the memories of the war be-
come less and less distinct it is to be ex-
pected that Congress will grow more and
more Indifferent to the welfare Of the soldier,
and it is therefore all the more important
that there should be unity of action on the
part Of our comrades. With great news

reasonably hope to secure justice at the

result they must rally to its support. A
