College Football,

Prlnceton's sensational defeat OF Yale on
Saturday closed the football season OF
1899, so far as Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton are concerned. with the championship
honors unsettled. Princeton clearly out
played Yale. though she did not get her
decisive goal from the. field until the
game was within fifty seconds OF It's
finish; but she has not met Harvard on the
football field, and comparison Of the two
teams on the showing each made against
Yale would be idle speculation.
Such comparison, II extended. would
indicate that little Lafayette had the
champion football eleven, since Lafayette
defeated Cornell and Cornell defeated
Princeton. 1t has been a season Of sur
prses, to which Columbia contributed by
downing Yale.
Little PoE's big kick, which won the
game for Princeton, would have been more
OF surprise had it been made by any other
man on the field He comes of a family OF
football players who have given Yale so
many hard knocks on the gridiron, during
the last twelve years, that scnsationally
brilliant plays are expected OF each one in

The arrangement last recited was sub
stantially renewed In 1887, as we have
noted above. and. since the legal expiration
Of the last decennial period, 1t has been
made operative by imperial and royal de-
cree. The adjustment OF quotas, however,
has proved increasingly unsatisfactory to
the taxpayers OF the Cis-Leithan, or Aus
trian, division. It is pointed out by them
that Hungary Is financially far more
prosperous than she was when her quota
was originally. fixed. and that now she ought
In equity to bear q larger share OF the
common expenses.
The conviction that the Cis-Leithans are
unfairly treated ilscally Is reinforced by
their belief that Hungary Yields much
larger share OF power In the joint councils
OF the dual monarchy than she can justly
claim on the score Of population or OF
wealth. 1t is a current esying In Austria
that Hungary enjoys 10 per cent. OF the
power in the Empire for 80 per cent. OF
the cost. The fact Is undeniable that. dur
ing twenty-one out Of nearly thirty-two
years that have elapsed since the union was
formed, the foreign affairs OF the Hapsburg
realm have been in the charge OF Magyar.
According to the telegram from Budapest.
a slight concession has been made to Aus

At Least DO Nothing Foolish I

For more than twenty-five years the
monetary standard Of the United States
has been, single and indisputable, by act
Of law, the gold dollar. In 1890. at the
quadrennial political contest for the cleo
ton Of President the Democratic party
declared for policy OF which the practical
effect would have been to make the stand
ard silver, and the Republican party
reaflrmed allegiance to the gold standard
and fought the Democrats on that issue.
Upon thu question whether the standard
should b. anged or remain what 1t was,
the victor" was overwhelming for gold.
Sure Of i,srif, the country broke forth In
industrini activity, and unexampled pros
perity is tho result.
Yet a number OF newspapers, and some
politicians are moved to cast discredt on
the great, verdict OF 1 500 and to ask that the
gold standard, the issue OF that election. be
reenacted. Even the Hon. THOMAS BRAcK-
EFT REED thinks that the country's loyalty
to the gold standard should DO "duly
recorded"
1t was recorded In the electoral vote cast
for WILLIAM MCKINLEY. for which Mr..
REED himself labored with his character
istio ability and success. We confidently
expect that 1t will be recorded again in the
election OF 1900. And we also hope sim
cerely that when Congress takes up the
subject OF the currency. as 1t is expected to
do at the coming session. it will put upon
tho statute books nothing that derogates
in any degree from the dignity and serl-
BUSINESS Of the National Legislature.
II doesn't increase the public respect for
the laws or confidence In them TO have
Congress reaffirming them; nor is that the
Congressional habit.
