up its various football teams and the
thorough training of the dollege teams
cannot be had, the liability OF the indi-
vidual player TO injury will \be vastly in
creased.
There is something very exciting to
spectators in the struggle on the football
field Assuredly there is no game played
that calls at once for such muscle, pluck,
feet and brains. When Prof Totten, the
Yale military instructor, likened the quail
tiles developed in football and the princi-
piles which govern ii, to those that control
the art of war between armies, he was
perfectly correct. 1t is game which the
public will like the more as they under
stand its points. But all the same the fact
that the young men who 60 into it may
come out injured for life by conclusions
affecting the spine, the head or other vital
parts, is serious and painful aspect Of
the new sport. 1t is true there are styles
of game as are played in Great Britain and
in Ireland which call for running and
kicking only-but these are tame and un-
compared with the terrific con-
centration of mind and muscle required in
football as it is now played in this coun-
try. The prospect, therefore, is that foot
ball will continue with us, dangers and

NOT ILLIMITABLE YET.

Speaking of the contracts given out by
the International Steamship Company un-
der the law admitting the steamers City
of New York and City Of Paris to United
States registry, on condition of building
an equal tonnage in the shipyards of this
country, the Washington Post enthusias-
tically remarks that at will furnish an al
most illimitable field for American invest
meRt, revive the shipbuilding interest, and
many times multiply American prestige
upon the SEAS"
1t will do SO when the privileges ex-
tended by the act to single corporation
are made open to everyone desiring to use
them upon equal conditions. But the
field can hardly be regarded as illimitable
so long as the power of entering it Is
limited, as it was by the act of Congress.
This was the weak point of the act as
pointed out by THE DISPATCH at the time
Of its passage. There is just as much rea-
son for letting other companies or indi-
viduals buy fureign-built ships on condi-
ton of contracting for an equal tonnage
to built at home as there is for letting the
one to which the operation of the act is
limited. And as the universal agreement
is that this policy is good one for the re-
vival of American shipping it is clear that
the way to make the policy great one is
TO open its privileges to all on equal terms.
An early step should he made to amend
the law by removing its restrictions.
Business opportunities opened by legisla-
ton to few should be open to all.

THE GREAT GAME OF FOOTBALL

Football is very exciting game, and of
all athletic sports, it is best fitted for
winter. That it is taking on immensely
is proved not alone by the enormous in
terest in the annual college matches, but
in the spread of the sport throughout all
the Northern States.
But spectators cannot fail to observe
that football at all times is dangerous
game, and that unless where played un-
der the strictest discipline and sharpest
vigilance of umpires, it is liable to degen-
crate into violence that may leave victims
for life. The terrible case at Poughkeep-
Sie, Friday, in which young man re-
ceived a conclusion Of the brain, from
which death resulted in few hours, is
but single illustration Of the constant
perils to the players. That fatal
injury occurred from a collision
of runners-an incident of ''tack-
ling"-but tire most prolific source
of injuries is in the crushing" and crowd
ing upon the PROSTATE body of the player
who holds the ball. Only careful training
and perfect physical condition can make
players proof against the extraordinary
force and pressure employed in the game
as it is now played
How the risks are to be lessened, and
the public interest as well as the enthusi-
asm of the players kept up, is problem.
1t seems to be fact that the greater the
danger the greater fascination both for
public and players. The college men
such as the famous teams of Yale, Prince
ton and Harvard-manage to get out
of the hottest contests with usually crop
OF superficial or transient injuries, but
seldom with permanent hurt 10 their MEM

MIR. LINCOLN's INTELLIGENCE.

Minister Lincoln in an interview, in
which he also refers to the official re-
straints on his communicativeness, states
that there is good prospect for sufficient
change in England's mononetallic policy
to enable the coming monetary conference
TO effect decided increase in the use of
silver as money metal The manner in
which Mr. Lincoin's statement is made
gives it especial weight and permits dis
tinct hope that the monetary conference
may be followed by definite results.
There is good reason for change in
England's policy, if that policy is to be
shaped by the wish for an ample and un-
changing supply of monetary metals. The
monometallic movement has amply dem
onstrated that the supply of gold is not
large enough for the monetary needs of
the entire world. A nation in Eastern
Europe cannot make the effort to accumu-
late a gold reserve without causing the de-
mand to be felt in this country. The con-
sequence is that the purchasing power of
gold is constantly rising. Instead of the
yardstick being shortened, as is the claim
with regard to silver as a measure of
values, it is being slowly but steadily
heightened by the exclusive use of gold.
International cooperation can effect the
use of silver side by side with gold and
supplement its functions so as to pro-
vide an indefinite enlargement of the
worlds supply of money metals. A new
Tito is probably necessary; and that nee
essity is one of the main reasons for hold
ing the conference.

TREASON IN CANADA.

While the courts of Pennsylvania sare
engaged with charge Of treason of one
variety, and the Democratic party of New
York is arrsigning one Of its own OH
cials Of another, Canada is approximating
to an uproar over third variety. The
charge there is that the subjects OF the
Canadian Government and titularlY of
the British Empire who 60 so far as to
discuss the question of annexation to the
United States in q favorable way are
guilty of treason. This is the assertion Of
Mr.. Bowel, the Minister of Militia, at
least so far as the advocacy of annexation
by an officer of militia is concerned.
Canada has not gone the length of pros
ecuting any Of the annexatiOnists for
treason The utmost length SO far has
consisted of the dismissal of Lieutenant
Macdonald, the officer Of militia, who was
guilty of annexationist views and in hurl-
ing that hard word at Eigin Myers, the
annexationist editors and some people
the irate Toronto World darkly designates
as certain Ontario officials" The net re-
suit of the fuss is therefore to establish
the fact that the existence Of annexation
feeling in Canada is not SO entirely
product of the Yankee Imagination as the
Canadian Government would heretofore
have had us understand
According to the usual definitions OF
treason, the proposal TO shift the allegi-
ance of Canada to the United States comes
nearer that offense than anything this con-
tinent has known for some years. But
it is to be questioned whether the world,
or at least the Anglo-Saxon. half of it, has
not got past the stage Of inflicting the
pains and penalties of treason for the
peaceful discussion of a proposed change
of government The same definition
would make those who advocate repub-
lican government in. England guilty of
treason. But England, even under Tory
rule, has recognized that the day is past
for either prosecuting such men as traitors
or even refusing them seats in the English
Parliament.
In the Canadian case the use Of that
bitter word has, it is reported, increased
the annexation sentiment rather than di-
it. 1t looks as If the feeling will
spread until the majority of that nation
will demand admission to the United
States. If that demand is unmistakably
made, apart from factional feeling incon-
,istent with our institutions, we think that
Canada may be admitted to the Union.

FACING THE Music,

An unaccustomed bit of praise for ex-
Governor j. B. Foraker, of Ohio, is
elected from the New York Sun. The
reason of the praise is that Foraker in a
recent speech took occasion to defend the
alleged force bill which the esteemed Sun
is pleased to regard the sole issue of the
campaign. In its delights at finding an op-
ponent to take up the other side in its al
legged fight, the San designates General
Foraker as another man who faces the
music"
There is something especially happy in
this description. The force bill issue-if
it can be designated by that term-is
comic opera sort of issue; and the man
who takes up its debate may be truly said
to face the music-of light and facetious
variety. Moreover Governor Foraker's
detractors have been wont to describe him
as comic opera sort of politician which
makes it more appropriate that he should
do what the Sun praises him for.
What is meant by facing the music so
far as the political issue is concerned, is
also of interest Governor Foraker in this
speech declared: GA IL that we Repub-
licans ask is that every man be allowed to
vote, be he white or black, rich or poor,
Democrat or Republican; that he may 20
to the polls free and untrammeled, and
that his ballot be counted. The right of
franchise is preservative of all other
rights" Now if this is, as the Sun says,
candidly meeting the issue does it not put
the Democratic position of opposing this
desire of the Republican party in the
light of seeking power by dishonest and
unrepublican suppression of the liberty of
the franchise2
The Sun is the party that must face the
music on this definition of its favorite is
sue. That Is more than 1t has done on the
other issues of the campaign. Cartropes

ANrE.EIEcT1oN pRoPHEC1Ks.

The national campaign committees have
enlivened the campaign by sending out
the usual ante-election predictions of the
result Chairman Carter, Mr.. Manley,
Mr.. Mosely and others present reports
from New York, Alabama, West Virginia,
Indiana and Wisconsin, on which they
base predictions of Republican victory.
Mr. Harrity keeps up his end of the
string, by proclaiming his confidence Of
Democratic victory.
All of which is more likely to contribute
to the gayety of the campaign than to
afford the public any indication of the
probabilities of the election. 1t is the
regular thing at about this stage of the
campaign for the committees to emit
statements to the effect that careful sur
veys of the ground show that each party
is certain Of victory. Owing to the we'll
known impossibility of more than one
party carrying the election, the result has
shown exactly fifty per cent of these pre-
dictions to be entirely incorrect.
Nevertheless it is considered the neces-
sary thing for the committees to claim the
certainty of victory during the last two
weeks of the campaign. Whyit should be
considered advisable to advertise ficti-
tious certainty of victory is one of the po-
litical problems Of the day. Its most tan
gible result is to convince the public of the
unreliability Of the politicians indulging
these prophecies.
It is, however, to be credited to the Re-
publican prcdicters that they. show de-
sire to recognize some prop ortion Of the
existing facts by admitting that the fight
will be close. This IS an improvement on
the Democratic method of claiming every
thing in sight. Meanwhile if the voter
wishes to get at the facts about as they
are, and then judge for himself, he will
find material in the full review of the
situation in The DISPATCH this morning
carefully prepared and entirely impartial.

CONTRACTORS IN A sNARL.
Pittsburg Men Who Paved Streets In Butler
Pa.s in Trouble.

fa.s In IrOuDio.
BUTLER, Oct. 22-[Specta. 1.-Two years ago
Long & Doyle, contractors, 95 Fifth avenue,
Pittsburg, secured contracts for paving some
of Buffers streets. Before effectinga settle
ment for their work the firm dissolved part
nership, Long retiring. The contracts had
been assigned to the Greensburg National
Bank to secure a note given by the firm for
g., 600. The City Council here refused to rec
ognize the assignment, and when the note
matured the bank called on Mr.. Long to
make it good. On several occasions since the
dissolution Of the firm in question the Butler
Council, according to the official record Of
their proceedings, has ordered warrants
drawn In favor of the old firm, and on the
18th OF this month q resolution was passed
authorizing a final settlement of the ao-
count, and q warrant was drawn and given
to Mr. Doyle for the amount due, less 5000
payable 80 days from date.
Now Doyle's former partner, Long, notf-
fes the Butler City Treasurer not to pay the
warrant; has retained counsel and will bring
suit for the whole amount of the claim. AS
the Butler Savings Bank has discoun ted the
warrant for Mr.. Doyle, there is pretty mess
Of It and the prospect of complicated case
in the courts.
