FOOTBALL BY WOMEN TOO EXCITING
Britishers Frown Upon the Display At
tending the Scrimmages.

London, Dec. 24.-So great a sensation
has been caused by the recent perform
ance Of the British Ladies' Football Club
at Rochdale that the municipal author
tiles of several other cities for which
games had been booked during the ensu-
ing six weeks have Cancelled the permits
and the club has about decided to disband
The hue and cry is largely due to the
publication Of extracts from a sermon
delivered by the archdeacon of Manches-
ter, and who characterized the ROchdale
game as a disgrace to the town. The MEM
bers Of the club play in ordinary female
attire, with short skirts, and those who
have witnessed the play at different
places say that when 1t becomes exciting
and the fair damsels begin to tumble over
one another in their eagerness to get the
ball, the exhibition of hosiery, linen and
laces is something to be remembered. 1t
was probably for this reason that the
game at Rochdale brought out an at
tendance of 10000. Very few women, how
ever, were in the grand stand, the name
and fame of the club having preceded its
appearance.

ALL DUE TO RUSSIAN INFLUENCE
Story Regarding an Attempt TO Displace
the King OF Corsa.

Yokohama, Dec. 6. (via San Francisco,
Dec. "a, per steamship China). The Seoul
correspondence of Chuo Shimbun de-
scribes the disturbance of November %,
when an attempt was made to remove the
king of Korea and the crown prince from
the palace. According to the correspond
ent there was a conspiracy among the
Russian party, the American missionaries
and a few Koreans. The Korean spy, who
had the confidence of the conspirators, re-
ports that the meetings were held at the
Russian legation, which were attended by
the Russian minister. DR.. Allen, secre-
tary of the American legation; General
Rice, General Legendre and a few Kor-
cans. The object of the conspirators was
the Korean government to remove the
Tai Won Ken and several ministers of
state who had been connected with the
attack on the queen last October. An at
tack on the palace was arranged for the
roughs engaged the attention of the po-
lice while the body of the disbanded
guards marched to the palace, expecting
to effect a surprise and easy entrance.
The garrison, however, had been warned,
and the attacking party itself was sur
prised and dispersed. The object of the
American missionaries who were implicat-
ed, it is said, was personal, not political.
They wished to avenge the death of the
queen, who was an ardent Christian.
The Japan Mail reprints the above story
with all reserve" The Japanese papers
charge that the latest outbreak in Seoul
is directly due to Russian influence.

An Ex-Convict Tells d Queer Story of
the Nebraska JaiI.

Omaha, Dec. A.-The federal court au-
thorities today received evidence that
counterfeit money in small quantities has
been turned out of the Nebraska peni-
tertiary. The story came out through
j. c. Fraser an ex-convict while testi-
flying in the United States court. Fraser
said the counterfeit money was made in
the penitentiary and put into circulation
from there.
When asked if he had received any of it
ne said no. because he did not belong to
de gang" and it would therefore do him
no good. He explained the gang as mean
ing the officers of the institution. He did
not mean the warden. but some of the
men in the employ of the contractor. He
gave the names. including that of one
man who was foreman in the penitentiary
until the state bought out the contract.
1t will be investigated.

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS.

On Saturday The Herald, referring
to the argument" that there must
have been boodling in the county
furniture deal because such high
prices were paid for it, and the agent
who sold it claimed that he had made
it all right with certain county Of
ficials. showed that similar or higher
prices were paid for the city furni-
ture, and still more in proportion by
the Board of Education, and the agent
intimated that he had no troublesswith
that Board except the one 'big
crank and he was smoothing him
"assiduously"
The logic which made it conclusive
that there had been county boodling
on the grounds stated was Tribune
logic. And we asked how the Tribune
liked its own logic applied to its own
member of the Board of Education.
To this it replies with its accustomed
evasion and you're another" argu-
ment, and wants to know how we like
the same logic applied to The Herald's
member of the Board of Education,
and intimates that the Tribune MEM
Der was the big crank" and that he
had not been "smoothed down.
Unfortunately for the Tribune we
learn that the record is against it.
That when the furniture deal was
closed the Tribune member signed the
report and also voted for the con-
tract for the deal with the other
members of the furniture committee,
Of which he was chairman, and the
gentleman whom it calls The Herald
member was absent. Now let it apply
it's own logic to its own member. The
conclusion is not ours. We have made
no charges. That has been left to the
Tribune, which has made them in an
underhand, sneaking fashion. All we
ask in this connection is that it ap-
ply it's own peculiar logic to its. own
gang" to use it's own pleasant Ian
guage.

THE UNDYING PARTY.

| What is the reason that the Demo-
cratic party continues. surviving all the
attacks made upon it, some of which
have been successful, trampling it
down for years? That's query some
times presented by students of Ameri-
can history not thoroughly versed in
politics.
The Democratic party has never
been disorganized and has never
swerved from its fundamental prin-
ciples, from the foundation of this
government which it helped to lay.
Issues have changed with the change
Of the times and the progress of the
nation, but the basic doctrines of the
Democracy have remained and are
embodied in the platforms of the
Democratic party at the present day.
There have been several parties
organized in opposition to it. The
Federalist party, the National Republi-
can party, the Wing party, and finally
the present Republican party-not to
mention the little organizations that
had fleeting existence-which have
each arisen and have all gone to their
doom except the present antagonist of
the never-dying Democratic party.
The reason it continues unimpaired,
Is because it represents the ''imperish-
able truths enunciated in the Declara-
ton Of Independence and declared to
be the supreme law by the Constitu-
ton Of our country. It stands as their
exponent and defender. 1t swerves not
from them and turns neither to the
right nor the left in face of the hos
tility it provolles in its course.
The parties that have struggled for
their brief existence and have gone to
their graves were parties Of eXpediency.
They were time-servers and policy
makers. Their living successor is i'm
bued with the same spirit and works
by the same methods. 1t has nearly
served its purpose and its time. 1t is
upheld now by the money power and
the force of the corporations and
trusts in whose interest it works.
The strength of the Democracy is in
It's abiding principles and the support
Of the masses, which it is sure to OBJ
tain when the eyes of the great body
of the people are open to its claims,
and to the fact that it is necessarily
and essentially the party of the people
and labors in their interest.
There will, no doubt, always be an
opposing organization to the Demo-
cratic party in the United States. But
its present enemy is doomed, like those
which have gone before it and whose
political heresies it has inherited. And
though it may be followed by other or
CARNATIONS for similar purposes, the
great enduring Democratic party will
go on for ever, because its principles
are those of eternal truth and univer-
sal liberty, and its mission is to make
all men free, to establish equal rights,
and secure to every citizen those in
estimable privileges, life. liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.

manner We have challenged him to
come out like a man and state his
charges openly. We have also offered
to submit the charges of Herald
reception of money outside of the legiti-
mate business and professional way,
with what we will produce as to the
doings of Tribune men in that particu-
lar, to a committee of disinterested
persons, the whole to be published in
both papers. We are ready for the
issue.
The Herald has no liking for these
personal matters. They ought not to
enter into the controversy in reference
to the county officials or to the politi-
cal struggle now in progress. But the
attack has come from a. very vulnera-
bic source, and has been false and ma
licious in intent, showing the spite and
venom of vicious and contemplate
and soured soul. We will not be silent
under such assaults and if they are
continued may be under the necessity
Of presenting facts which ordinarily
we would have no disposition to men,
ton.
1t will be seen from what we have
presented that the Tribune statements
copied above are utterly untrue. And
we brand the insinuation that anybody
in the business or editorial depart
ment of this paper has accepted brides,
for editorial writing either in defence
of boodlers or against public officials,
as foully and villainously false. con-
cocted with intention to injure The
Herald if possible and give vent to
Tribune vexation and chagrin at re-
peated polemical defeats.
