SNAP SHOTS AT THE RANGE.

Lieut.. Col E. ]. Dimmick, former
ly of the Illinois National Guard, arc
for some time secretary of the Inter.
state National Guard Association. {
member of the National Rifle Trophy
Board, and one of the best posted men
on rife practice in the United States
is at Avondale range, the guest of Maj
w. E. Coney. Col Dimmick comes
to study conditions and it is not at al
improbable that his favorable report
of what he sees will weigh heavily with
the National Rife Board in determin-
ing where the National Rifle matches
will be held in 1905.
A great deal of merriment was oc-
casioned at the range yesterday by the
appearance of popular officer of the
Emmett Rifles, with a green ribbon or
his blouse. Wherever he went he was
accosted with some commentator oil
his loyalty, or reminded, as if he didn't
know, that the color of his badge was
most becoming. The brilliant green
for the badge was a very green green
almost rendered undisoernable the mod
est gilt Lettering Post Quartermaster u
and many there were, no doubt, who
thought that this ent5 lsiastic officer
seeing flags of all sorts flying from
every part of the range. thought that
Erin should get in the game.
The casual observer has little con.
ception of the great amount of work
connected with the conduct of a shoot
such as the one now in progress. In
addition to the work at the firing line
which in itself is considerable. there
is great deal of inside work. which
requires the constant attention of sew
eral employees. The statistical depart.
ment, under the supervision of Mai
w. E. COney is one of the most sys-
tematic of all of the departments. Mr.
Rogers Woods, clerk of the shoot. Is
in charge of this department in Mai
Coney's absence, and renders inval.
liable service at his post. He was clerl
at the shoot last year, and is thorough.
ly familiar with the work.
Lieut. w. H. Connerat. Jr.. of the
Georgia Hussars, after an absence OF
several weeks, is again at his post. He
mas been in attendance on the shoot
and has assisted his team very much
as coach. Recognizing the value of his
services Col Brooks general range Off
Ger, appointed him a range officer
and in that capacity he will serve dur
ing the remainder of the shoot.
Col. j. Quincy Nash, who served as
post adjutant at the state camp of in
struction, has remained over for the
interstate shoot, and as a range Off
Ger, is rending valuable assistance tc
Col. Brooks. Col. Nash is an untirine
worker, and is thoroughly familiar
with target practice, so that his pres.
ence at the range is of a useful as
we'll as ornamental nature.

Horse Guard Arrive.
All of the teams which will compete
are already here, except the Governors
Horse Guard. which will arrive this
morning, under command of Capt. F.
T. B. Wilson. The Horse Guard are
strong team. and it is expected that
Jney Will make some rafting good
scores. They come armed with Krags,
and 1t is not improbable that they will
shoot Krag carbines in the carbine
match. This. it is claimed, will give
them a decided advantage, but since all
of their men are experienced and sua-
soned shots. the men with the 1884
model muzzle leaders" have small hopes
of winning first place.
Capt. Wilson, as we'll as Lieuts. Dam
lei and Browne. who are members of
the team, are wen known here and are
popular officers. The other members
of the team are also we'll known. a
number of them having attended shoots
with the Savannah riflemen.
The Albany and Macon teams will not
be able to attend the shoot. A COM
munication from Capt. Mann to Post
Adjutant Coney last night, announced
that, owing to sickness and business
the men were unable to come. The
volunteers write that while they would
be glad to come, the men. all of whom
were at the state camp of instruction,
can not spare any more time from their
business.

HUSSARS WON HANDILY.
Beat Their Only Opponent at All
Three of the Ranges.

Owing to the delay in the. arrival Of
the Governors Horse Guard team and
the failure of but two members of the
Effngham troop to put in an appear
ance, there were but two entries in
the carbine novice match. The Geor-
gia Hussars won first money, SS5, de-
feating their only opponent, the Liberty
Independent Troop, at all of the
ranges. The Liberty boys shot we'll,
receiving for their pains $40. which de-
frayed the expenses of the team in at
tending the match.
Following are the scores of the two
teams, showing the shots at each rang
and the relative standing of the mem

Mr.. Bryan and His wealth.

Republican journals frequently re-
fer SarcaStically to- the fact that w.
J. Bryan has expended $25, 900 in the
construction of a house and barn on
his farm near Lincoln. Neb. They al
so indulge in estimates of his fortune
and seldom fail to fix it at less than
100000.
The Denver Times. an independent
newspaper. has informed itself re-
garding Mr.. Bryan's finances and it
reports that he received his money
nearer 100000 than the former fig
ure-from three SourceS-lectures, his
writings and his paper. His book.
The First Battle" Melted him about
100000 and ma. of this amount was
devoted To the democratic campaign
funds. He has been liberal to chart
ties and educational institutions. and
in assisting worthy causes.
The Commoner affords him his
principal revenue. the gross annual
returns being something in excess of
100000. He insists on paying the full
measure of taxation and in contribut-
ing to any movement for municipal
betterment.
The Times fails to understand why
Il question of Mr.. Bryan's wealth
should be raised. 1t says:
After all what does it matter what
he is worth? He has gotten il honest
~. lie has displayed no greed in get
ting it. He has not robbed labor of
its wage. He has not gambled on the
farmers crops or ruined his business
associates on the board of trade. He
has not drawn dividends on the basis
of watercd stocks. He has not form
ed trust and taken millions from
the consumers pockets. He has not
made money out of government con-
tracts and jobs. His hands are clean
from all such methods as these. So

Mr.. Bryan owes his wealth 10 the
Improvement of the Legitimate oppor-
tunities presented him. Every dollar
has been honestly acquired. Against
such fortunes as his there can he no

rhe fun had all gone out of the joke
Government had some power. after
all. EXtortion was at an end.
And yet the people of the United
States. who are supposed to govern
themselves, in their own interest,
have infinitely more power. in every
way, to curb the coal trust than had
The people of Toronto. but do they
exert it? The city of Detroit has
come the nearest of any American city
TO coping with the oppression of the
coal trust. Maybe that Detroit. being
IN the border land, gained its inspira-
ton from close communion with the
Canadian city. At all events. the De-
troit municipal council has bought.
$4,000 worth of coal at the mines
and is selling it to citizens at cost.
This is just starter. and the idea
will be followed and elaborated until
the situation is relieved.
1t is possible that the example of
Detroit may be followed by other mu-
inequalities as well as that of Toronto.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-01-09
Where Government Really Governs.

While throughout, the United States
public officials are with rare eXcep-
ton blind and deaf to the eXtortions
of the coal trust. and are busily in
venting excuses for their failure to
enforce the laws, over in the Canadian
city of Toronto things are being man
aged quite differently. Over there.
public officials have notions. quite I'M
known in this country, that it is the
duty of public officials to look after
the interests of the public. and that
the governments business is to gov
ern. So with far less law for re-
straint of trusts than we have, they
have the restraint, while we have only
weak Pretenses of it. They have this
result because their officials act on
the theory that the highest interest
is the public interest. and that the
power of the public is the highest
power.
The city of Toronto has rendered
the coal trust helpless by buying
large amount of coal and wood and
selling it to citizens at a fair price.
Dealers are demanding SO and $12
ton for hard coal, and would have
been demanding more now. but all
TorontoanS are supplied by the city,
at IS a ton This result, simple as it
seems. was not accomplished without
the strain of strong official backbone.
There. a. here, the coal trust was
first amazed that simple government
should have the temerity to seek TO
interfere with this monopoly. 1t was
a good joke. thought the trust mag
mates. They would show the govern
ment Il few little tricks. just to teach
il its proper place.
So the coal trust called in its side
partner the railroad trust. and it was
arranged that the coal ordered by the
city should be tied up in transporta-
ton.
Sad TO say. in this country that act
ion would in all probability have
ended the conflict; and the city would
have been rendered helpless and the
trust would have been triumphant
and more insolent than before. But
not so i'm Canada. The Ontario cabi-
net came to the city's support, the
minister of railways took hand. the
city council prepared TO severely criti-
else it's power of railway taxation and
regulation within the city limits. and
the railroads were glad to sue for
peace. and to deliver coal as fast as
the city might need it.
With the detection of it's side part
ner, the coal trust ceased to laugh.
