sPANIARD AND BoBRs.

Joseph Chamberlain is making bold
statement when he says in the house
of commons that the odds against the
Beers are not so overwhelmingly large
as were the odds against Spain in the
Spanish war. He forgets that previous
to the beginning of hostilities in 1898,
the English press was inclined to con-
slider Spain the greater power, and al
though an American triumph was pre-
dicted in the end, it was universally
thought that Spain would win the first
battle. Spain's standing army was I'M
deniably larger than that of this coun-
try. Her fleet on papers was equally
strong. The greater efficiency of the
American navy was only demonstrated
later.
AS between the powerful British
standing army and the homespun regi-
ments of the Beers, a comparison is
ridiculous. 1t is needless to mention
Britain's navy. Chamberlain, in his
carefully worded speech, strove to give
the impression that Spain was de-
feated without the loss of a single
American. Such a statement is of
course true only of the navy and any
such comparison is poorly taken in the
present instance, as the Transvaaf war
is fought entirely on land. Official fig
ures issued by the London war office
give the English losses to be over 500
in the two engagements of Glencoe and
Elandslaagte. Compare these two en-
gagements with San Juan and Ell Ca
ney, and it will not appear that the
American troops had such a walkaway
as the secretary of state for the colo
MES would seek to imply. Granted
that the-Boers are brave, but SO were
the Spaniards, as any veteran of '9S
will testify. The honorable Joey should
screw his monocle firmly in place and
reread the history of the Spanish
American war

OUT AND ABOUT.

Today, foot ball is, with the possible
exception of base ball, the most popu-
lar sport in America, but few who en-
Joy the game, either as participants or
spectators, realize how ancient it is.
One writer says it originated in Italy
in the 10th century, and was in vogue
until 1890, when its popularity subsid-
ed
Perhaps the very first mention of ball
in literature is by Homer. "Nausieaa
Of the White Arms" was engaged with
her maidens playing a game of ball,
you remember, when Odysseus came
upon her. In the early centuries games
were played in England with inflated
spheres. They were of character not
calculated to impress upon the mind
of the spectator a complete idea of
mildness and gentleness. Later on, in
England, Edward II may be found dis
coursing upon "hustling over great
balls" as very dangerous .pastime, and
one noxious to the nation. In 1908
Manchester tI1ngland) had a series of
foot ball games, and it is recorded that
after each contest the town was de-
void of glass in the windows. Along
about this time it was Sir w. Devenant,
marked that t2ot ball was not a very
Conveniently civil sport" Strut,
when asked his opir on on the so-called
foot ball of the day. wrote: THE exer-
else being exceedingly violent, the
players kick each others shins with
out the least ceremony, and some are
overthrown Mt the hazard of the limbs"
Walter Camp. III one of his admirable
works on foot ball, mentions the fact
that it originated among the Greeks
and Romans in the 18th century, and
that it's development was very serious
ly retarded by the supremacy of the
Puritans in the 18th century. With the
advent of the Rugby game, the change
from a riot or battle to fair and
sportsmanlike game, was made, and
this process has been continued until
now it is regarded as the highest of
all athletic pastimes and one of the
most scientific Of games. OF course,
the men who go to foot ball matches
knew all this before, even down to Ed
ward II and Nausicaa. but it is not
common knowledge to most of our fair
sisters. 1t is good to remember, in
this connection, that more foot ball
players distinguished themselves in the
late war with Spain than the repre-
sentatives of all other sports combined.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1899.
HOLD THE 10TH DISTRICT.

The reelection of Representative
John G. Hagberg to the legislature
from the 18th district means much to
the republican party in this city With
the exception of wards 3, 4 and 5, the
republicans have little need for anxi-
ETY. as to the success of their nominees.
Up to the time of redistricting in 1896,
ward 5, constituting the 10th district,
had been a democratic stronghold for
many years. In 1896 A. Edwin En-
berg's election turned it into repub-
lican district, although in the follow
ing year James F, Carberry, the demo-
cratic nominee, won out by narrow
margin Last year Mr.. Hagberg de-
feated Carberry in a still closer con-
test, so that the district still remains
fighting ground.
Representative Hagberg's record is
an open and commendable one. Imme-
diately on his return from Cuba with
the Second Massachusetts, regiment in
August, 1885, he was nominated for the
Legislature. Incapacitated from active
labor, through hard and faithful SER
vice in the war, and still forced to do
bis 10 days tour of duty, he was pre-
vented from active participation in a
political campaign. His nomination,
however, received the hearty and
unanimous endorsement of the repub
licans and his election was the result
of the unsolicited labors of his friends
and supporters.
His record in the last legislature has
justified the confidence and honor that
they gave him. He has served with
credit and ability on the committee on
military affairs, and has devoted his
best efforts in the advancement of the
| Spanish veterans preference bill. He
always, and has declared himself most
emphatically in favor of depressed
tracks so far as the grade crossing
question is concerned. The street rail-
road men have reason to feel under a
debt of gratitude to him for his atti-
tude on the vestibule car bill. The
people of Quinsigamond village are a
unit for him
James f. Ryan, Representative Hag-
berg's opponent on the democratic tic
ket, is lawyer who has served in the
common council for the last two years.
However worthy he may be in his
chosen profession, he has demon
strated no marked ability in his NUM-
cipal career.
Representative Hagberg has made an
able member of the legislature, and it
is the duty of all republicans in Wor-
cester TO devote every effort to bring
about his reelection and retain the dis
trict in the republican ranks.

ing so, the claim of the new Chicago to

TIE committee rooms, to the detriment
of furniture and faces, that people are
reminded that there is such a thing as
a democratic party in this state. On

not impressive.

The fact that England is making
formidable naval demonstration does
not indicate that the continental
powers have formed a coalition against
Albion. Far from it. 1t is merely one
of those periodical exhibitions of
strength that John Bull delights to
make for the edif1cation of his neigh
bors. Like strong wrestler who is
proud of his biceps and is not averse
to barring his arm occasionally, Mr.
Bull takes the same pleasure in ex-
hibiting his. fleet. There will be no
naval war this year, but another
strong argument as to the efficacy of a
strong navy in procuring peace will be
furnished.

President McKinley's proclamation is
worthy of close perusal. Seldom" he
writes, has this nation had greater
cause for profound thanksgiving. No
great pestilence has invaded our
shores. Liberal employment waits up
on labor Increased comforts have
come to the home. The national fin
ances have been strengthened, and
public credit has been sustained and
made firmer. In all branches of in
dustry and trade there has been an
equal degree of prosperity, while there
has been steady gain in the moral
and educational growth of our national
character American patriotism has
been exalted" All this is true and
reads strangely different from the
proclamations issued by his illustrious
predecessor, Grover Cleveland. The
promises of William Mckinley have
been kept with religious fidelity. In
peace and in war he has proven him
self to be president worthy the pride
of the American people.
