CHANGES IN FOOT BALL.
A Uniform Code of Rules For Col
Ieges and Schools.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Foot ball, as it will be played in the col
leges and schools Of America this fall. will
be governed by uniform code of rules
Last year. 1t will be remembered, three sets
prevailed. The Harvard-PennsyIvania
Cornell code governed games among these
colleges; the Yale-Princeton rules were in
vogue at the big match on Manhattan
Field, while the compromise Harvard
Princeton set were In sway during the
memorable battle on Jersey soil. In ad-
dition to these, it was also left optional
with other institutions to play under the
intercollegiate rules Of the previous year
so that the confusion in all places where
the game fiourished was complete.
Seeing the necessity of harmony in this
respect, II not in others, the
University Athletic Club of this
city very wisely convened a
meeting of noted foot ball law makers In

The week OF Oiympian games at Athens
was closed with grand banquet. at

sixty guests were present, including the
athletes. The event OF the evening was
the address OF the King OF Greece, and
he paid his especial respects tn the for

have delighted them and that was char
acteristic OF GEORGE Of Greece. We
have no doubt that every American at
the spread will bring back pleasant recol-
lections of the king who has patronized
the games, has attended them every day,
and who has throughout displayed so
great an interest snd enthusiasm.
GEORGE OF Greece is good fellow.

Rhode Island for Reed.
Boston Journal.

There is no hesitancy In Rhode Islands
choice. The Republicans Of that State
are uncompromisingly In favor of Thomas
B. Reed as their pariy's Presidential cam
didate. The convention which met and
did its work 80 handsomely and harmon
iously In Providence Friday will re-
quire no after-explanations
1t nominated four delegates--at large
and alternates who are known to be for
MIR. Reed first, last, and all the time, and
IL adopted currency plank which is
obviously patterned after the emphatic
utterances OF New York and Massa-
chusetts. Not content with claiming that
the Republicans OF Rhode Island are Gin
hexiply opposed to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver" the plank
condemns any further agitation "of what
is called the silver question" as "un-
patriotic and destructive OF all the inter
ests OF industry and commerce. " "The
existing gold standard" the resolution
goes on to say, "is the measure OF value
adopted by nations with whom the United
Sattes have the most important COM
mercial relations, and the very suggestion
OF departure from il infiicts injury to
the credit OF nation whose nonor
should never be questioned at nome or
abroad.n
This is an utterance which cannot be
misinterpreted. The Rhode Island Re-
publicans stand unuualifedly opposed,
not only TO free silver coinage, but TO any
effort whatsoever to weaken the present
gold standard and impair the foundations
OF our financial system. And to drive
home the meaning OF the resolution q
second paragraph adds:
"To those who toll for their daily
bread, currency redeemable In and of
equal value with gold is essential. While
the capitalist may protect himself against
the fiuctuations.even OF silver, the laborer
and the artisan, the salaried official and
the widow are powerless TO guard against
a great and beneflcent governm.At should
make absolutely secure and unchanging
I'm its purchasing power"
The Rhode Island Republicans have
planted themselves on solid ground. They
have manifested a wisdom, courage aud
n progressiveness worthy OF their rest
traditions. Reading these clear, positive
declarations, II In easy to comprehend the
strength OF purpose which has enabled
the Republican party, In spite % CERTAIN
adverse circumstances, to recover OF late
years its old supremacy I'm Rhode leland
and 10 re-establish it's former hold upon
the confidence OF the business men and
the favor OF the intelligent working peo-
pie.
Rhode Island may be small State, but
this brave, outspoken deltverance will
contribute directly to win foi II larger
and more respectful consideration i'm na /.
tional politics. Its unequivocal stand for
Mr.. Reed and a sound currency is quite
as much To be commended as Massachu-
sets, was--and we are not sure that il Ia
not even more Significant.

than MCKINLEY himself. II the Repub-
licans want McKINLEYIsM they can get it

nominating MCKINLEY. Let them give
honor where honor is due. Besides, AL
DRIcH is much bigger man." But just

Rhode Islands Sound Currency Plank.
Boston Herald.

The Republicans Of Rhode Island have
put sound money plank OF unexcep-
tional quality in their platform, and, to
give practical effect TO the declaration,
they have elected delegates who will stand
solioly In the Reed column at 1T. Louis.
There Is no taint of trimming in the
financial resolutions adopted at Provi-
dence yesterday. The Rhode Island Re-
publicans announce their infiexible oppo-
sltion to the free coinage of silver and
their belief that the continued agitation
of the silver question Is unpatriotic and
and commerce. Nor Is 1t only for turning
a cold shoulder thus squarely on the white
metal that they deserve high praise. They
are as frank In their support OF gold as
in their hostility to silver. They assert
that the very suggestion OF departure
from the existing gold standard ''inficts
iajury TO the credit of the nation whose
honor should never be questioned at
home or abroad"
here is currency plank tnat counts
for something. Taken in connection with
the plank OF the Massach chusetts Republi-
cans, 1t affords Mr.. Thomas B. Reed firm
standing ground from which to appeal to
business men for their hearty and insist
ent support. These ringing declarations
from States which give their firm ad-
hesion to bis canvass and express their
full confidence IN his principles maze
him the honest money candidate OF his
party and entitle him to all the benefits
derivable from that position, an advan-
tage which ought to be OF conclusive
force in his favor.
