TIE AMERICAN MARKsMEN.

The Olympic rifle contests have
closed, leaving the Americans undis-
puted champions of the world, their
victory over other contestants being
so decisive that no room remains for
argument. The English were the only
entries that came within contesting
distance of the American team. The
Olympic victory, coming so closely
after the American capture of the
Palma trophy in Canada last year,
clinches the title Of worlds cham
pions and sets a record for marksmen
of other nations.
American marksmen have always
been rated as the best in the world
and the reason is not difficult to find.
From the landing Of the first ~colonists
to the settlement of the last new terri
tory on the Pacific, the rifle was the
pioneers best and trustiest friend. 1t
supplied him with food and a defense
against human and amman enemies
and served as his ablest ally in wrest-
liB y NAHUM lIODi u "lluSI nOSbs III
the revolutionary war the American
colonists developed the worlds first
corps of sharpshooters. The back
woodsmen at New Orleans, armed with
rifles of their own selection, fighting
along individual lines, routed the tried
veterans of Packenham, who had
served under wellington in the wars
against Napoleon and inflicted the
most complete and overwhelming de-
feat that any English army of like
numbers ever sustained. Since that
day the American has been the worlds
best marksman.
The team that participated in the
Olympic games was a picked one, but
the country is rich in material from
which such teams are chosen. Every
encampment of National guards de-
velops a new list of expert marksmen
whose records are ~unequalled by the
| citizen soldiery of any other nation.
The distinction gained by the ritlemen
has been sustained also by Americans
on the sea, the records Of the Ameri-
can fleet at target practice being a
marvel of naval efficiency. The result
is highly creditable, not only to the
American marksmen, but also to the
makers of American guns and ammu'
milton, now recognized as h best In
use. The record is significant largely
as showing that in the National guard
and in the c%itizenry of the country
the United States has "A second line
of defense against possible enemies
that makes unnecessary the mainte'
nance of a great standing army, such
as is maintained by nearly every other
nation.

Reforming THE HOUSE.

Democratic leaders have not i'm
proved their reputation for statesman
ship by the adoption of a plank in their
platform ~denouncing the existing con-
dition Of affairs by which the speaker
of the house of representatives exer-
cises arbitrary power and by demand
ing that the house OF representatives
shall again become a deliberative body,
controlled by a majority of the peo-
pies representatives and not by the
speaker"
No argument will be offered in sup
port of the existing condition, because
the domination of the house by the
speaker and a select committee on
rules is as obnoxious to republicans
as IL is to democrats, in fact, the OPP
position to the present system has be-
come so pronounced that some change
is certain to come at an early date, no
matter what party controls the house.
The Denver platform, however. offers
no remedy for the evil. 1t leaves the
problem up in the air, without at
tempting to tell what can be done to
make the house more responsive to the
membership and less subseTvient to
the speaker. IL offers no suggestion
Of the methods to be employed, in case
of democratic success. to remove an
evil against which both parties are
complaining.
Yet democratic denunciation Of the
existing order comes in bad grace, in
view of the democratic record in the
house. The democrats are responsible
directly for the present rules. Under
the minority leadership of Randall
they began the practice of the flibus-
ter and the resort to dilatory tactics
which made legislation practically i'm
possible. 1t was the rule of the minor
ity, rather than of the majority, for
the minority succeeded in blocking
action by methods that have since been
in vogue, wherever rules would permit
The first transfer of power from an
/ o~bstructing minority to a hard-headed
| speaker came when Thomas B. Reed
ruled that a quorum could be counted
by enumerating the members present
even though they refused TO answer
TO the roll call. Later he added to thi:
by forcing through a rule which al
lowed the speaker to refuse to recog
nize a member for the purpose Of
making a purely dilatory motion.
These rules won Mr.. Reed the title
car" and probably contributed
much to the defeat of the republican,
in the next election. This gave th'
democrats the opportunity for which
they clamored and FOR which they are
now elamoring. The democratic house

again the citadels of the political in

trophies of victory dragging behind
his broncho at the end of the lariat'
This is the way the Denver paper dis
closes the dark secret:
Dahlman is the first democratic mayor
Omaha has had in seventeen years. He
will most likely be nominated on the DEM
ocratic ticket for governor of Nebraska
this summer. He won his mayoralty fight
without the aid Of the bosses. He expects
to jump into New York and do a big part
toward winning that state for Bryan by
adopting the same unique methods that
proved SO successful during his mayoralty
fight In Omaha.

same unique methods" that proved so
successful in Omaha. Those methods
consisted in shaking down the corpor-
ations. brewers, liquor dealers and
every other promising lead for a cam
paign fund of unprecedented proper

WHAT A HAPPY FAMILY,
Features of the Divisional ApprOprIR-
tiOn of the White House.

Chicago Examiner.
In naming John w. Kern for vice pres
ident the democrats selected the personal
counsel, the personal friend and the per-
sonal choice OF Tom Taggart, who dictated
his nomination.
In the light of this choice Mr.. Bryan's
offer to divide the white house with Kern
should he be elected-presents interesting
possibilities.
Once in possession of a wing of the
White House Mr.. Kern may want to dt-
Vde 1t with Mr.. Taggart, whose natural
instinct would prompt him to turn his
half Of the wing into a gambling house.
Mr.. Bryan, still being in possession of
more room than he needed for his personal
use. might then be disposed to divide his
wing with Thomas F. Ryan.
Surely anybody good enough to deliver
the vote of Indiana, and anybody good
enough to provide a campaign fund. are
good enough to live in the White House.
Kern has worn the Taggart tag since he
has been in politics. Taggart made him
city attorney OF Indianapolis. Taggart had
him twice nominated for governor. and in
1904 saw him defeated by more than 10000
votes.
Kern corralled the delegates for Tag
BdTl at the St, LOUIE convention TOUR years
ago and, at Taggart's dictation, made a
speech extolling Parker.
Serving on the state committee on reso-
buttons and on the subcommittee on Gre
d~entials, he made a platform that suited
Belmont and threw from the convention
hall hundreds of legally elected delegates.
Subsequently he visited Judge Parker and
sought and got Taggart's appointment as
national chairman, the most scandalous
appointment made In any party for many
years.
At Taggart's trial for running a com
NOR gambling house at French Lick
Springs Kern was the lawyer for the de-
Tense. 5 Mr.. Bryan knew Of Kern's sub
serviency to Taggart when he permitted
Kern to be his vice presidential candidate,
he probably would see no objection to
Taggart's residence in Kern's half OF the
White House.
With Kern and Taggart in one wing
and Bryan and Ryan In the other, acceler-
alton of the national currency might be
taken care of without much help from the
secretary of the treasury or the national
banks.

The motif cation Will undoubt dly take

ton out west for its influence on the west
ern vote. There is little or no chance of
the notification taking place in New York

Little or no chance, because electoral

Mr., stuyvessnt Fish Is one Of the most

who have been living on an income of
S25O,OCO a year to scale their expenditures
down to a reduced income Of $4,000 than

unfortunate tendency OF that class either
to say things which are offensive to the
mass or at least to say things which may
be we'll intentioned with such loosensss
that they can be ~misconstrued or distorted

He who has TO reduce hfs expenditures
from $4,000 to $4,000 does so by cutting
off luxuries OF the lavish variety. He who
reduces his living from the SIS 70 the so
