Hartford. Dec 10. - Over 2,000 people crowded themselves into the Coliseum Saturday night to witness the polo game between the league leaders from New Haven and Tom Cotter's Indians. and they wit messed one of the fastest and most thrilling contests ever, seen on the To- cal surface, which resulted in victory for Hartford by a score of 12 to II. There was not an idle moment during the forty-five minutes of playing time and it seemed as if the people would lose their senses as they ye1led,- cheered and howled over the great work. of the Hartford team. The star of the game was George Bone, the dark featured rusher of the New Haven team. Ney- Ter in the history4of the game in Hart- ford have patrons of the sport wit messed such work as was done by the visiting star.s He ssemeds to be every where at the wrong time for Hart ford, and Starkie, although he made some phenomenal stops, was almost at the mercy of the New Haven sman. at several critical periods of the contest. when the outlook was dark and dismal for the 5ropters.y SF

WHAT IS THE SUPREME LAW ,

The text of the creed of Mckinleyism
Our power cannot be less than our
responsibilities. says the Republican
platform. That sounds pretty enough.
When it is examined. however, it is
found to mean that by contracting re-
sponsibilities in any quarter of the
world. Congress and the Executive, or
either of them, can continually aug
ment their power
This Is. in fact, precisely what has
been done by the Administration. The
phrase above quoted was uttered in
justification of an already well defined
policy: it was not merely thrown out
as Of possible use in some future con-
tingency.
BY the treaty with the Sultan of Sulu
the President incurred certain respon-
sibilities. To meet them he assumed
the power to recognize slavery and
polygamy under the United states flag,
and to pay to the Sultan and his
nabobs salaries from the American
Treasury.
Acting for the United States, Mr.. Nc
Kinley might become responsible for
the maintenance of law and order in
China. and. in turn, use the whole mill
tHTy strength or inc natT0n TO meet
that responsibility.
The creed of colonialism as applied to
Porto Rico and the Philippines is, The
Constitution is not the supreme law"
If the Constitution Is not supreme.
what is? If Congress and the EXecu-
tive can go beyond the Constitution
and act outside of the powers delegated
in it TO Congress and the Executive,
what limitation is there to their
powers?
Is not the essence of English Impc-
rialism the doctrine that Parliament
and the Crown are supreme in the colo
MES? Is it not equally Imperialism
When Congress and the President as
sumo absolute power over American
colonies? II Englands course in South
Africa is Imperialistic. is not the course
of the United States in the Philippines
also Imperialistic? Does anybody con-
tend that English Imperialism is a
bugaboo? Certainly no intelligent Eng
lishman does anything of the sort.
Tweedlcdee and Twcedledum are not
more alike than McKinlcyism and
Chamberlanism.

TRUST GOODS AND POPULAR
FAVOR.

In the explanations offered OF the
rapid decline in trust organization and
the increasing caution OF investors in
not to have been taken of one very
important factor-the widespread and
bitter popular hostility to these organ
izations. So great are the resources
of this country that a monopoly in
anything is practicable only so long as
competition can be inundated. The
trusts are such by virtue of their
power and purpose to crush COMPETE
tors rather than by their power to mo-
nopolize the means of competition.
The bearing of this is obvious.
Trust-made goods are not popular.
The best possible advertisement for
any article is that it is not made by a
trust. Where popular favor is the
only means of profit for manufactu-
rer of any product of general use, 1T
is apparent that the trust starts with
a heavy handicap. Its goods are I'M
der the ban from the outset and this
both encourages competition and
makes competition particularly trou-
DIcSOEle- '.ocIlttilCHb EcSS As'N mo- ~
even in business. than is usually sup
posed, and the business man knows
this. Save in it's own house, the trust
has few friends. In the last analysis
the trust has to sell to the people, and
&c the people are its enemies, the situa-
ton is far from pleasant, even for a
trust.
BEYOND doubt these facts have OPP
Grated to make investors cautious.
For they are facts. not theories. There
are now n number of articles on the
market that are gaining rapidly in
popular favor because they are not
made by IL trust, and are so adver-
tised to the public. 1t was only few
months ago, to give simple instance.
that the manufacture OF a certain Gig
arctic was begun by a competitor of
the Tobacco Trust. and dealers assert
that in large sections the Trusts goods
are already drug on the market. and
that even in the town where the Trusts
largest factory is located ii cannot hold
its own. This is not due to superiority
over trust-made goods, but 10 dislike
of the Trusts. When this dislike shall
be aided by rigid enforcement of
trust laws. speedy disntcgration
of these robber organizations will fol-
low. They are possible now only be-
cause they are shielded and winl<ed at
by those whose duty it is to enforce
the law, and are favored and protected
against the workings of commercial
influences inimical to them.

A JOLT FOR DEPEW.

Philippine Islands? He would restore
them to the natives
The speakers voice was drowned in
n tremendous cheer as he uttered these
words. His audience seemed to be
pleased with the Bryan program as Mr..
Depew laid it down, and he was greatly
surprised. He paused and looked over
the crowd with an expression of

sad tone remarked: II am sorry to

THE PlG-sKIN IS WITH US.

Football may be said to have fairly
earned its right to existence as the most
athletic and the most popular OF Amer
lean sports. Against the protests OF
parents. the criticism of the press, the
hostile action of the faculties of a num-
Der of our institutions, 1t has persisted
until a football game draws as baseball
never did in it's palmiest days.
The reason for this is not very far to
seek. Whatever NAV be said of the
game. football is essentially a gentle
mans sport, 1t has suffered less from
professionalism and ruffianism than al
most any of the Strenuous" games
wherein numbers engage. The rowdy
is not good football player; he has
neither the intelligence nor the self
control that the game requires, and in
nine cases out of ten he has not the
courage either. 1t is game that can
baseball has been because it is not a
game that can be played by a mere ag-
gregation of stars" it is team work.
that counts, and experience has de-
monstrated that nowhere outside of the
college can there be found that
splendid esprit de corps that counts for
so much in football as we know it.
The result has been that the college
team is supreme in the football world.
No aggregation of professionals could
stand up before the elevens of Harvard.
Princeton or Yale. This accounts in
large measure for the hold of the game
on the public. though of course the ele-
ment of ''miXup' counts for n good
deal. The fact that football has re-
tanned its place in our colleges and uni
versitics is sufficient evidence that the
brutality" of it has been greatly ex-
aggeratcd; it is not probable that the
faculties of such institutions. or the
students for that matter, would en-
courage brutality.
Football has it's drawbacks. however.
1t has not been free from a certain sort
of professionalism. Men of fine ply
sique are induced to go to college and
their expenses are betrayed that they
may be put OIL the college eleven; they
shine more on the ~ridiron than in the
class room. The smaller colleges have
suffered more from this evil than the
larger. which are naturally more indie
pendent. having plenty of material to
select from. But an even more indie
feasible practice has been the use of
unfair umpires and referees. So great
was this evil that at one time it threat
ened the destruction of football in the
South. In the college lingo, teams were
deliberately and brazenly "hogged" out
of games by officials who were parti-
sans of their opponents. This is no
longer tolerated by the better class of
college athletes, and the game this year
should be free from it. Played under
proper regulations. football is not espe-
cially dangerous. and has so much of
zest that 1t should be preserved as a
clean and healthy sport.
