Comment on Message.

Hon. VIM. j. Bryan-''The message
indicates an intention upon the part of
the president to aid in. turning the
issue of paper money over to the
national banks, and in the meantime
a purpose to give gold a further supe-
riority over silver as money"
Following are comments on the mes
sage by some of the recognized leaders
in congress:
Senator Allen-ssI do not care to en-
ter upon criticism of the presidents
utterance, but will say that l fail to
agree with him on his three principal
suggestions of policy. l do not think
it possible to secure the currency leg
islation which he recommends
Senator Teller-ssI do not believe
that any legislation will be enacted
authorizing the retention of the green
backs in the treasury until somebody
is willing to pay gold for them. The
radical advocates of the gold standard
will not be willing to accept this sug-
gestion, nor will the silver men, so far
as am informed, favor this DISPOSE
ton of the financial question
Representative Bland-"The presi-
dents proposition to retire the green
backs by holding them in the treasury
except for gold deposits, means con-
traction of the currency to the amount
of the greenbacls SO impounded. His
statement as to bimetallism will not
be accepted in earnest by anybody.
The message on all subjects sounds
apologize and is like an affidavit for a
continuance.
Representative Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri-ssThe message will be a great
campaign document for the democrats
If the recommendations therein are
adopted by the republicans the demo
Gratis ought to win in 1898 and 1900
| hands down."
Representative Richardson Of Ten
nessee The message is wholly disap-
pointing to the country. Nothing
practical for financial Improvement is
recommended. The increase in reven-
ues is mentioned while we are running
behind nearly $4,000. 900 a month;
nothing for Cuba, but all for Spain;
Cleveland's policy of issuing bonds to
maintain gold reserve Endorsed; all for

VIII Stick To Silver.

The Mexican Herald published at
the City of Mexico, under date of
December denies authoritatively the
report from Paris published in London
that Mexico is making preparations to
go on gold basis, and says: ''Mexico's
finances are handled with admirable
caution and sagacity, and whatever
may be the future policy of the govern
ment regarding the currency, there is
at present no thought of changing
from the silver standard, which is con-
tributing to the growth of manufac-
turing and other industries.

contraction of the circulating medium
to the extent of the notes SO tied up.
Ii it were necessary to redeem gov
ernment obligations in gold, such a
plan as is proposed by the president
would remove the strain on the gold
reserve, and cause no necessity for
bond issues, but as these obligations
are in coin, either silver or gold, at the
option of the government, the reader
may readily see that the presidents
statement that nobody but the govern
ment is obliged to redeem in gold'' is
absured.
TO carry out the proposed plan an
excess of revenue over expenditures
will be required, and under prohib-
tory tariff such as the Dingley law,
that requisite is a very remote posi-
bility.
The president recommends to the
careful consideration of congress the
plan OF Secretary Gage, and gives to
the plan his unqualified approval. The
secretary, who is now engaged in
drafting bill embodying his ideas of
currency REFORM" recommends that
ten-year gold bonds be issued to re-
place outstanding 'scoin. obligations,
offering as reason therefore that it
win strengthen the credit Of the gov
eminent.
We We're not aware that the govern
ment's credit was weak. We were
told that republican success was all
that was needed to sustain that credit.
Why, then, should we have our obi
cations made payable in gold? Espe-
cially when outstanding obligations
of all kinds are quoted at premiumo

Although carefully yelled, there is

they are to be kept there until paid

be any call for greenbaclzs in exchange

FOOTBALL COST HIS LIFE.
HounE Hascho's Neck was Broken In n sorin-
maEe-fso Lived Two DaSa.

mhEe-fNo Lived Two DaSh.
The first fatal football accident Of the local
season happened on Sunday at Astoria to An
drew Hasche, 10 years old, OF 1868 Avenue A.
New York. His neck was broken in a scrim-
mage. Until yesterday morning Hascho was
conscious, though paralyzed. Then he lost con.
sciousness, and died about 8 o'clock.
As is usually the case In serious football acct
dents, the injured player was a member Oft
scrub" team, which played a style OF game
moro fierce than scientific. Hasche was playing
left tackle for the Malcolm Athletic Club team,
an eleven that has little timo for training or
practice. The team went to the grounds In
Woolsey's Woods to meet the Holy Cross Ly-
ceum's eleven. The play was heavy and loose.
and there was little Interference, so that the
runner. IL he buckcd the line. had to depend on
his own head and shoulders to force his way
forward. hssche, being a swift. hard runner,
was used to make what 10 known as the tackle
rush, where the tackle leaves HIS place, runs
past tho quarter back. snatching the ball as he
goes. and plunges into the line. In the first half
OF the game the Malcons' left tackle was much
Alter the intermissioa he seemed as fresh as
ever. and tho quarter bnrk kept giving the sig-
nal which c lied upon him for a rush. After tho
"bucked the line and went down under a heap

to his feet and he came to.
I'll be al! right he said. Got the wind
knocked out OF me, that's all"
But when he had been carried to the side lines
he fell over and seemed unable to sit up.
Il feel all numb" he said; las IL I'd got a
crack on tho funny bone AMI it spread all over
me-"
In a few minutes he was unconscious. Then
the other players became alarmed and had him
taken to tho Astoria Hospital, after which they
scattered. At the hospital the doctors said that
the injury was, technically speaking. a fracture
OF the spine. between the fifth and sixth cervical
vertibre. 1t Is what would commonly be called
n broken neck. The boys entire right side was
paralyzed. and although he regained conscious.
ness there was never any hope for his recovery.
1t is not probable that the police will make any
arrests. as up to last night they had found none
Of the members OF the teams. The case is in the
hands Of Coroner Strong OF Long Island City.
Hasche lived with his widowed mother and his
sister.
A spectator at the game told a Sun reporter
that when the players who had fallen on Hasche
got up the young man was lying on his back
with his arms stretched ont and his head
seemed to have been across the knee of O player
who was crawling to his feet. This would eX-
plain how the accident happened. An expert
enced player always falls. II possible-and 1t
usually is possible-forward with the weight on
the side on which he carries the ball, with his
feet crossed and his muscles relaxed. To a t. an
who falls In this way the worst that can happen
Is a bruise from knee or elbow or the loss Of
breath from the weight OF players upon him.
