From all accounts the g. o. D. oi the country at large is in a bad way Hearst is going to carry New York the republican machine in Pennsyl. vania has gone to smash; the split in Iowa has become a yawning chasm while Gompers and the American Federation of Labor have marked countless shining lights in the repub- lican party for slaughter. Even Uncle Joe" Cannon, the idol of the populace. second in popularity only to the president, has, it is whispered, been slated for retirement by the la bor leaders. Representative Sher- man, chairman of the republican con- gressional committee. is passing the hat for one dollar bills and probably not getting any large quantity of them. Truly the doldrums are with us and a new Jeremiah to sing the woes of the republican party would come in handy. Representative Griggs of Georgia, chairman of the demo- cratic congressional committee, who was in Washington recently, says the outlook for democratic success was never brighter.

and the necessity for its acquisition. Application for funds to construct, equip. and maintain such shooting galleries will be made in the same manner, giving in detail the objects of expenditure for these several pur- poses. The government will also designate militia officer of his com. mand as disbursing Ofhcer.% The re- quest of the governor must be ac- companied by an approximate esti- mate to cover the cost of the prop erty to be acquired for shooting gal leries or target ranges and for their construction and maintenance. The disbursing officer must be properly bonded to an amount of approximate ly one half of the sum to be placed to his credit.
 While the title to the shooting gal leries and ranges will vest in the United States, the states and territor- ies will have practically entire su- pervision of them. The decision of the assistant secretary of war on this point is as follows: "The department holds that the title to property ac- quired by states and territories or the District of Columbia for shooting galleries or target ranges under the authority contained in Section 2, 1906. vests in the United States: and that the relation of the states terri tories or District of Columbia to such properties is hat of a trustee vested with the use and charge of the ad- ministration of them for the purpose for which they were acquired"

Uncle Sam is growing more and more inclined to take the public into his confidence through the press.
 Nearly every department has a bu- reau of Publicity" although it may be called by some other name. These bureaus send out publications, ab- stracts of reports, etc., to the news papers and intelligence concerning the operations of the government is much more widely distributed than it was some years ago. A clerk prepar- ing some mailing lists has made a compilation of publications showing that there are 2,307 daily papers and 15,639 weekly and 2,91S monthly publications in the United States. In the publication of dailies, Pennsyl- vania leads with 214, followed by New York, with 210, Illinois 1S1, Ohio I'll and Indiana 14S. In weekly papers Illinois takes the lead with 1,1O4, followed by New York with 1925, Pennsylvania 926, Iowa 905, Missouri 791, Ohio 779 and Texas 6s2. In monthly publications the leading states are New York with 570. Illinois 301. Pennsylvania 245 and Massachusetts 166.

The San Francisco boomers are
 working diligently and if the strick- en city is not rebuilt quickly it will
 not be their fault. One enthusiast
 tells us that the bank clearings in
 San Francisco in 1905 increased
 s2se,sls.652 over 1904. Out of 10O.-
 100000 acres in California. 10000 900 are arabic land. The fruit crop of California is estimated to be worth
 about s5O.0O0. 900 a year. The state borders on the Pacific ocean 1900 miles. San Francisco is 1t greatest port and will always be that. The population of the city in five years increased nearly 50 per cent. Tax ing the total clearings of San Fran cisco. Los Angeles. Seattle. Portland. Spokane. Salt Lake City. Tacoma and Helena for the year 1905. it will be observed that San Francisco repre- sented 53.2 per cent of the whole as against 4s.S per cent for the other seven cities combined. The individ- ual deposits in the banks of San Francisco in nine years showed a net gain of 150 per cent In one year the national banks in the city alone made an. increase of 5s per cent in individual deposits and 55 per cent in total resources. In five years the resources of all the city banks were increased from s74o. .O00.000 tC sI11.111.e00. a net gain of g per cent. of which gain one-fourth was made in the year 1905. These statis- tics indicate the commercial and financial growth of San Francisco: they also perform a more important once at this time. when the eyes ot the vot(d are turned h that direo-

THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1906.

The British Salt Union of Liver pool, British monopoly that has been frequently under investigation, is said to be planning to invade the American market on an extensive scale, especially seeking the south At lantic and gulf business. This British trust has recently installed machin- cry especially designed to manufac- ture salt suitable for the American market. Owing to the low rate on ocean freights to southern ports the British corporation will have less diff ficulty in meeting with success than might otherwise be the case. There is a tariff of 8 cents per hundred pounds on salt, but the high freight rate from the domestic salt-producing districts to points east and south, it Is said, permits of the marketing of considerable quantities of foreign salt.

HEARD IN PASSING.

Judge Parker says Hearst is an IImpossibility so far as the democratic nomination for governor of New York is concerned. Leader Murphy says Tammany may be for Hearst, Hearst says he will capture the nomi- nation, and there you are.-Meriden Journal.
 The Iowa idea did most of it's thun- dering in the index. The tariff plank which Governor Cummins is to sub init to the republican state conven- tion this week has been so toned down in its demand for tariff revision that the utterance will not offend even such stand-patters as Roosevelt and Cannon.-Hartford Times. Wise in their day and generation, the constitutional democrats of Rus sia do not propose to play into the hands of the bureaucrats by declar- ing for a revolution, for which the people are unprepared and the au- tocracy is ready. There has been too much abortive revolution already. The next blow for liberty should not be struck until it stands fair chance of success.-New Britain Herald.
 The closing of the canteens at the National Soldiers homes is not likely to cause the veterans who are inmates of those institutions to become tee totalers. it is to be surmised, but it is going to benefit the neighboring saloons, where the former will prob ably have to pay more for a much poorer brand of goods. How the i'm terests of temperance are to be ser ved by such fool legislation is diffi- cult to ;. comprehend.-Fall River Globe.
 If the inference is right that Rus sell Sage intended to devote his mil lions to public use through his widow, perhaps he was prudent in so doing. The old man had been so busy amass- ing his fortune that possibly he could not safely trust himself to dispose of it in sanely charitable manner, and left the undertaking to others of more practical turn of mind in such things. Russell Sage could make money but he couldn't spend it satis- factorily.-Ansonia Sentinel.

GROWTH OF RIFLE PRACTICE
What Congress Has Done to Make Good Marksmen of Citizens of U. S.

The growth of interest in the sub ject of rifle practice within the past few years has been so marked as to attract the favorable attention of congress and at it's last session the appropriation for the support of the National Guard was increased from one to two million dollars annually. of which the secretary of war has set aside $500,O00 to be expended in rife practice. This gives the states a mil lion and half to be expended for general purposes of the militia. The secretary of war provides that while there is no limit of money a state may expend on rife practice, it must spend a certain amount. The amounts allotted the various states are in pro- portion to their representation in the lower house of congress, and are as follows:
