A dispatch from Washington to the

that the sights ON the rifles are still

any understanding at all of the princl

Second cavalry, that being an IndiaI
company, showed an individual averag

3l.51 while the men of the other troop
made an average of 6270. The Indians
in the 18th infantry made for their com

Of merit OF 25.05, while the figure of
the other troops was 62.S7, In the 10th
Infantry there is one company of In
dians. Their figure of merit by indi-
vidnal classification was an average
21l4, while the figure Of the white
troops was the high average of 9S.1b
In collective firing the Indian average
was 20 80, as compared with the white
average Of 70.47.
At pistol firing the Indians do better
There is a separate report on this sort
ot firing for the same troops and trool

The Indians stood first in order Of
merit for revolver firing for the depart

There were some interesting statistics
obtained by this practice. The native
Of the United States stood eleventh in
order Of merit among nationallties, Nor

France, Denmark, Scotland, Germany
Canada and Belgium, coming in thc

The men of six feet in height and owe,
were also highest in order of merit az

were the lowest. The men of light blue
eyes were the best marksmen and those

eyed men were the best marksmen
among the negroes.
The report calls attention to the fact
that the percentage made by the In
dians at revolver practice was greater
than the percentage made by the win

the department for the years 1892 an6

made under existing regulations by any
troop in the department.

keep pace or not. If this rulnous and
almost universal practice has not al

Now the panic, If one studies It care

the cure forces itself upon the patient
whether he will or no. 1t has forced
the average merchant to stop buying
