THE SILVER SENATOR'S.
Free Coinage Paper Urges Them to
Allow Tariff Legislation.
Denver Republican CSilver.)


During the late session Of Congress the
advocates of free coinage properly and
wisely took the position that there should
be no tariff legislation unless IL folio"ea
or went hand IN hand with free coinage.
1t wise policy and had much TO do
with precipitating the fight for silver coin
age in the late campaign. During That
campaign the opponents of free coinage de-
clared through the length and breadth OF
the land that IL was not gold monometal-
lism but low tariff, which had caused
financial and industrial depression. Oppos-
ing on the one hand free coinage, and advo-
eating on the other a high tarin, they sue

people. They elected both President ana

The disposition of probably large ma
their way-is to let them show whether
they can restore prosperity through the
enactment of tariff law. or whether the
position they assumed i'm the campaign was
unsound. Should they enact a tarin law
and fail to restore prosperity. they would
be convicted. as false guides and incompe-
tent leaders. Should they, however, be
prevented from enacting such law, they
would attribute their failure to restore pros

AN INDOOR GRIDIRON
FOOTBALL GAME TO
BE PLAYED IN CHICAGO'S COLISEUM.
The Footing Pronounced Perfect by
COachers Stagg and Allen-Seating
Room for $4,000 People.

CHICAGO, Nov. Heterogeneous for
the Thanksgiving football game between
the elevens of Michigan and Chicago Uni
versities at the Coliseum are now practi-
cally completed 1000 square feet of floor
ing having been taken up and the ground
beneath carefully narrowed covered with
clay and then rolled. Coaches Stage and
Allen, of the Chicago eleven, and Referee
Ralph Hoagland critically inspected the
field to-day and were much pleased with
it. Stagg saying the footing was the best
he ever was on. Room will be ample. At
each end of the field, which is of regulation
size thirty feet intervenes between the
goal lines and the flush wall, four feet
high, from which rise the tiers of seats. AT
the sides fifteen feet separate the wall and
the field. To further guard against acct
dents to players who are tackled near the
side lines, the ground between the row OF
boxes and the field has been ''sloped.''
Actual seating accommodations have
been provided for $1,000 persons. Thirty
five boxes have been built on each side. and
back of these tiers of seats rise sufficiently
high so that an unobstructed view of the
field may be obtained from any point.
There is also sufficient standing room for
5000 more without crowding. One of the
unique and picturesque features of out
door football games-the coaching parties
WILL of course, be lacking. But there will
be many box parties" and already every
box has been engaged. Three sections on
the east side of the hall have been reserved
for the wearers of the Michigan colors. OPP
poSite them, on the west side, the wearers
of the Chicago maroon, will occupy four
sections. The alumni of Cornell University
have also engaged a section, and many
other Western colleges will be well repre-
scented. Champaign especially. from which
place an excursion train will be run.
AS to the availability of the building from
a players point of view, nothing can be
told, as no practicing will be done by either
team in the building. and until the contest
itself takes place no one can tell whether
indoor football is a success. Only one
thing. however. Is feared by the players
and that is that the light from the scores
of skylights will interfere with the catch
ing of punts. To Obviate this fault. II such
a fault exists. the windows on the west
side have been painted to soften the glare
of the sun. AS to the punting itself. there
will probably be no trouble. From the cen
ter of the field to the roof it is eighty-Seven
Is fifty feet. but ii Immediately rises to six
the center
Accommodations for the press are very
complete. On the east side just back of
the boxes. and four feet above them a
platform has been built with seats for
eighty-fOur persons. As the boxes them
selves four feet above the level of the
field, this will give very clear view.
