In FRIENDLY RIVALRY.

The great football contest which was
fought out on Thanksgiving daY between
the Crimson and the Blue and Gold con-
tanned feature which augurs we'll for the
future of the country when it shall have
passed into the hands of the youth who
are now being educated. Immediately
after the game the. captain of the team
that failed wrote message of congratula-
ton 10 the victor that sounds true blue
and as good as gold.
Yours lin friendly rivalry" he signed
himself, and if the minds of our young
men are being trained to hold themselves
in this attitude then. indeed, we may have
happy hopes that friendly emulation in
all branches of effort will lead them to
such heights that even the seemingly de-
feated will be more than vic:ors. Great
will be the welfare they will brinS to the
world when they come to rule if football
should so thoroughly train their tempers
as to enable them to show the same gener-
Gus spirit in all the contests of the future.
Football doubtless has its uses beyond
those desirable ones of developing good
lungs and tough muscles and digestive
powers that can work felicitously. Time
is not wasted, even in a spiritual sense. in
producing a muscular manhood that can
struggle to hard finish with the utmost
good nature. There is sort OF magnifi-
cent animalism which makes it easy for
the soul united thereto to be magnan-
imous.
1t is in the requirement of this that COL
lege athletics have their highest purpose.
Perhaps especially in the rou- b and tum-
bic OF football can mental p.acidity and
courtesy to opponents under exasperating
circumstances be cultivated. Also the
habit of getting up promptly to fight again
after being uncerem oniously knocked
down and run over is an excellent possess
sion to have, and playing football cer-
.tainly has a tendency to get the mind ac-
.customed to dong t is merrily.
California has reason to be pro I'D of the
spirit manifested in the match by both
the victors and the vanqushed. 1t is a
good thing to triumph without vainglory
and to bear defeat without bitterness. "In
| friendly rivalry" is the motto for all Cali
fornians. Well doue, Stanford Well

OLEVELAND'S MESSAGE.

President Cleveland has so far pro-
gressed in the work on his message to
Congress that our correspondent at WASH
lngton has been able to give summary
OF the subjects of which it will treat and
fair outline of what the President will
say concerning them.
1t is the intention of the President
that this, which is to- be his last an
nual message to Congress, tshall be
the most important of his public docu-
ments. He will make it the occasion
for setting forth the policy which he be-
lieves ought to be followed by the National
Government for the maintenance and ad-
yancement of the prosperity of the coun-
try and will design it no doubt to serve az
a plea for all the acts of his administra-
tion.
Considerable attention will, OF course,
be paid to foreign affairs, and the Presi-
dent will congratulate the country upon
the solution of the Venezuelan contro-
versy. 1t is also said he will devote con-
siderable space to Cuba, but it is not yet
known what he will say. This fact throws
a singular light upon the character OF the
President. Perhaps there is no other
who, after all that has been done in Cuba,
has not yet decided what course he ought
TO pursue and is still waiting for some
thing to turn up which will help him out
Of his quandary.
Although there is not much prospect
that Congress will give much heed to any
thing the President may say concerning
the revenue or the financial question it is
announced that Mr.. Cleveland vii devote
much of his message to an elaborate con-
sideration of these issues. 1t is in this
part of his document that he will endeavor
to justify the policy of his administratio n.
In this respect, therefore, the paper
will be intended for the future historian
rather than for the politics of to-day. 1t
Will, of course, be waited for with a great
deal of interest, for even the opponents OF
Mr.. Cleveland have considerable curiosity
to know what he can say in defense of an
administration which has been so disas-
trous to every industry OF the country.
From the reports given out it appears
the President will make no statement
concerning the funding bill or the Nicara-
qua canal. These omissions will largely
counterbalance whatever good effects may
result from anything he may say OF other
issues. 1t is clear that these questions,
together with that of CUBA, will be the
most interesting to arise at the coming
session of Congress, and for the President
to omit them from his message will be
another proof how far he is from under
standing the American people and how
completely he is out of touch with public
sentiment.

SUGAR IN TOBACCO

very interesting problem was submitted
awhile ago to the Kew authorities, England,
by the Treasury Department. "Does natural
sugar occur in tobacco?" was the question.
and striking facts were brought to light The
treasury authorities were interested from a
fiscal point of view, the duty on tobacco fother
than cigars) being little over 81, except in
the case OF sweetehed tobacco which is higher,
while sweetened cigarettes are not allowed at
all. Before this investigation it was generally
admitted that tobacco did not contain more
than trace of saccharine matter
A scientist made a thorough examination of
the subject. Commercial samples of tobacco.
free from adultera.fon, were found to contain
over 10 per cent of sugar. while sun-dried

EUROPEAN PEACE,

The German Kaiser IN a speech con-
tanning supplementary illusions to the
Car said the autocrat is lord of an
immense army only for the purpose of
maintaining peace, and there can be no
doubt the German Emperor in thus call
ing attention to the benencent use of
power by his great neighbor meant to
show himself to the world in that same
light. Moreover, Punch contains an illus
tration OF the Russian Emperor kissing
the hand OF the Empress of India as he
bids farewell at the ca stle of BalmoraI. in
which she Is represented IS saying to her
kinsman that all Is we'll so long as they
two remain in power.
There can be little doubt that these
great potentates have good intentions
about preserving the peace of Europe, and
in one way OF looking al the question II is
a source of satisfaction that such immense
equipments for destruction should be held
in readiness for the enforcement of peace.
1t would seem, however, that while
these peacefully disposed people are in
positions of such great influence on the
worlds destiny, they might use that in
iuence in putting the peace of Europe on
a more permanent basis than the mere
dread of each others power. If they sim
cerely desire that all war should cease
the surest way to secure such a result
would be to enter into a mutual agree
ment to have their war teeth pulled.
1t costs 100000, 600 year to maintain
the peace of Europe, and this expense is
constantly increasing. Ii all this vast
sum were devoted to preparations TO live
for the future in Christian unity with
each other instead of making ready to
kill with wholesale expedition what a
world this might grow to be of palaces
and gardens, of prosperity and happiness.
Paris might be almost every
That this Is no impossible Utopian
dream is evidenced by the course recently
taken in regard to the Venezuelan dis
agreement between England and America.
1t seems to be recognized by great minds
that war between two such peoples in this
advanced age would be too absurd to be
thought of seriously. If a permanent
treaty OF arbitration between these two
powers be not dream, but almost GER
tainty OF the near future, 1t does not seem
unreasonable for the people OF Europe to
demand an alleviation of their burdens
by an extension of the system OF arbitra.
ton to all great civilized powers.
A question OF interest in this connec.
ton was decided this fall by the referen-
dunn in Switzerland. There was bill up
for consideration to increase the military
equipment OF the little republic which its
opponents called the "Prussianization' of
the country.
The Swiss overwhelmingly voted down
the proposed measure, and thus was
good example set by the land which is SO
famous for courage, patriotism and love
of liberty.

der construction, and eight or ten such
carriages of similar design are about to be
constructed.
The report as whole will be well re-
ceived by the country, and the recommen-
dations of the Secretary deserve favorable
consideration from Congress. The amount
of money asked for, according to the
estimates for the next fiscal year, will
aggregate $40, ,4S2, ,26S. This sum is not
large when the importance of the work
of the War Department is taken into con-
sideration, and it is not likely that it will
be materially reduced when. Congress
makes up the appropriations for the ensu-
ing year.

COAST DEFENSEs.

The report of Secretary OF War Lamont
is in teresting chiefly because of the earnest
efforts which the Secretary is evidently
making on behalf of the coast defenses O
the country. This subject is one whose
Importance is now well understood, and
the Secletary's recommendations will be
cordially approved.
As Secretary Lamont says, his prede-
cessors in Office at the head of the War
Department. have during many years
faced the difficult task of arousing the
public mind to realization of the diff
culties in the matter of coast defense, but
have so far succeeded in awakening public
interest on the subject that any further
arguments are unnecessary. Each success
sive Con gress has shown a greater will
ingness 10 make appropriations for this
cause, and there can be little doubt that
the coming one will be equally wise in
providing for it.
The plan OF coast defense which has
been undertaken involves over one hum
dred distinct batteries, in something more
than twenty harbors and Institutes an
efficient protection for the more I'm.
portant seaports both of the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. A large amount OF work
in these defenses has been already done.
and while much remains as yet incom-
plete, the Secretary gives reasons for be-
lieving that within com paratively short
space of time our coasts will be made
practically secure against foreign attack.
The extension of our coast defenses
necessarily calls for an increase in the
force to man them. This, of course. will
entail the enlargement of the army by the
addition OF new batteries of artillery. and
this is the only increase in the army which
the Secretary asks for. 1t may be noted
that this shows a difference of opinion
between the Secrstary of War and the
com manding general, since General Miles
asked for an increase of cavalry TO guard
the great West as we'll as an increase of
artillery to guard the coast.
1t is pleasing to note that the problem
OF providing our coast defer ses with satis-
factory disappearing gun carriages seems
to have been successfully solved. The
Secretary reports tie 12-inch all-round-

WONDERFUL ELECTRIC PLANT CONSTRUCTED FOR
AN ITALIAN MAGICIAN.
An Italian magician, Pigliani. has been very
successfully performing clever trick in Paris
which has earned for him the cognomen OF the
MAN Ear" He has been performing in very
large hall in Paris and during the evening his
assistant at the other end of the room finds
some excuse to ask question of a person in
the audience far away from the magician on
the stage. In an instant the answer came
from the lip of the magician instead of his
assistant to whom itwns addressed. The effect
is very puzzling. 1t is thel, explained that the
