Philadelphia. Nov. 15 (speciaD.-The University OF
pennsylvania football team took secret practice to-
day in preparation for the Indian game Saturday
The work OF the team by far the best of any
that has been done since the Harvard game. The
team seems to have come out Of its slump. and
If they continue their good work they should sweep
the Indians OFF their feet
In forty-hve minute scrimmage the varsity
scored five touchdowns while the scrubs I'M
able to do better than secure three first downs.
The varsity made most of their gains by using
guards back formation. although they frequently
resorted to end runs and made big gains at every
attempt.
The feature of the practice the use Of the
Indian formation by the scrubs. The scrubs. how
ever, were unable to make any Roadway after the
first few attempts. This is the first season that
Coach Woodruff has ever made use OF the forma-
tons of the opponents in order to teach his men
how to stop them. Coach Woodruff and Captain
Hare both making great preparations for the
Indian game Saturday. The defeat by the Red
skins last year is still ranking in the bosoms OF
all loyal Quakers, and nothing Will be left undone
to win.

Smith Let Go.

The complaining witness in the case
of c. ]. Smith, who was charged with
assault and battery, yesterday told the
Judge of the Police Court that he did
not wish to prosecute and Smith was
allowed to go.
Some time ago Smith was mixed up in
an alteration in a saloon. Officer Sea,
hearing the noise, went in and inter
fered in the fight. Smith Immediately
transferred his fury to the officer and
Sea was considerably damaged. For
some reason Sea did not entertain re-
sentiment and withdrew his complaint
yesterday.

LNcoLN's ONLY DIAMOND PIN.

Col. w. N. Cave of Barnewell. S. c.,
who is now in Atlanta on business, is in
possession of a unique relic in the shape
of a diamond pin which was at one
time the property OF Abraham Lincoln
and which is the only piece of jewelry
of the kind that President Lincoln ever
wore. The pin is of the old-fashioned
style Of cluster brooches, with a deep
clasp at the back for the purpose Of
securing it to the frilled shirt fronts
worn by gentlemen fifty years ago. The
center diamond is large, particularly
white one and it is surrounded by a
number of smaller brilliants.
The pin has strange history. Some
years before the war and prior to the
time that Abraham Lincoln was be-
ginning to loom up as a presidential
possibility, while practicing law in
Illinois he met a young dandy from
New York state whose sporting procliv-
tiles had caused him to run short of
funds. The young man went to Lin
coin for assistance and left with him
as security for loan a handsome dia-
nond pin- For some reason he never
returned to redeem the pledge. and
from that day Lincoln did not again see
him.
Lincoln was naturally man of quiet
taste In matters of dress and seldom
wore 1ewelry of any kind. However, his
accidental possession of a fine orna-
ment proved a temporary temptation
to adorn himself. One day James Nov
ers, stock dealer of Kentucky and a
close personal friend of Mr.. Lincoln.
who had known him intimately from
childhood, went to Springfield on a WIS.,

well, who'd a thought that Abe
Lincoln would be strutting around the
streets with a diamond pin in his shirt
'front.'" exclaimed Meyers in mock sur
prise.
Lincoln looked vaguely abashed and
tried to explain. The explanation end
ed by his taking the pin from his shir,
and pinning 1t on Meyers, insisting as
he did so that he did not want 1t and
was only too anxious to get rid Of it
Meyers kept the ornament for some
time and finally gave 1t to a friend
James Drummond. Drummond was
captured during the war by the FEEDER
ais and died at Fort Monroe. In 1866 q
sale OF his property and personal ef-
fects took place at Barnewell, s. G
Among the latter was the pin that had
belonged to Lincoln. Col. Cave bough,

DEMOCRATS AND TRUSTS.

A party without dependence upon public
esteem can face without much grief a position
OF dishonOr, hoping that ii may even be more
endeared to the ignorant and to the vicious by
its demonstrated badness. Perhaps half uncon-
sciously, Democratic leaders are Just now
chuckllng over the idea that they can pretend
TO be as hostile TO trusts as any other party.
Individuals in either party will, of course, be
found in close relation with one monopoly or
another. The party must be judged by its act
as body. and if the Democrats voted against
a constitutional amendment in the House they
point to the fact that they voted for bill
processing TO reach the same end. No matter
how exravagant the claim, it will answer with
voters who do no thinking with those who
are always drawn into closer relations with any
party by proof that IT is secretly at war with
honesty, public decency and civil order.
The Democratic position is not however, so
strong as some leaders suppose. By far the
greater part Of the opposition to corporate
monopolies throughout the country is thorough
ly honest, If really ignorant of the conditions
which make some corporations as helpful as
others are hurtful 10 the public Not only
Democratic leaders but plain. everyday Demo-
cratic voters have sense enough TO see that an
amendment granting power TO destroy vicious
monopolies has different meaning from bill
attempting to do the same thing without grant
Of constitutional power. II Congress has ample
power without constitutional amendment
then the bill may have some virtue, But if 1t
has not, or has only insufficient power then
voting for the impotent bill and voting against
the amendment granting power is precisely the
worst thing of which a party could be guilty
Now, the Democrats who most strongly CD
posed the amendment did so the plea that
power TO deal with such corporations belongs
20 the States, and should not be given to the
general Government The ancient theory of
State rights was deliberately used as a pretext
FOR refusing TO the Union the power needed, and
then the very same party proceeded to vote for
q bill attempting TO exercise such power with
out a constitutional grant
No end OF pettifogging is possible about the
particular provisions of the bill and the amend
ment. But this is Of the cases in which

service for the permanent pacfcation of the
country and the bringing of 1t into real SYM
patty with the rest of the Empire.
We need not follow the entire subsequent his
tory of Canada for confirmation of its wisdom
The Act Of 1791 which divided Canada into two
provinces on lines of race and creed. was inept
and unfortunate and did as much anything
to lead to the rebellion of 1897. After and as a
result of, that rebellion the provinces were
reunited. and then the French. though perhaps
not numerical majority. became the dominant
party through the fact of their remaining
united while the British broke into factions.
In brief, the French made the best of the sit
uatlon and Jared as well they could have
wished. To-day they are a minority, though
plurality in creed; they are In entire amity with
the British and they have pretty complete con-
troll of the Dominion Government. As for their
loyalty to the British Empire no one can seri-
ously question it. 1t is scarcely to be supposed
that the British of to-day are less wise than
they of century ago, or that the Dutch or
South Africa are more stubborn than were the
French of Quebec. Indeed, some of the most
troublesome factors Of the Canadian problem
that of religious creed and disqualifcations for
example-are conspicuously lacking in that OF
South Africa. We do not why the country
between Simon's Bay and the Zambesi should
not become, politically, another Canada.

to trust that power fully to the Union because

stopped or redressed through the State govern
ment which represents their Will In the
government of that other State by which the
offending corporation was created the suffer-
ing people would have no power. The only suf-
ficent and practical remedy is to enable the
people of all the States to defend their rights
and interests through the Congress which rep
resents all.
1t is equally important that legitimate and
wholesome industrial development shall be pro-
tected against ignorance malevolent action
in different States. There might he as many
acts of restriction as there are States. and
forty-five distinct decisions of the courts would
be required TO determine how far these various
laws had exceeded their constitutional author
ity. But a single act by Congress would require
only a single decision by the United States
court to clear ii aside if unconstitutional or to
limit its operations to the features not held
unsound. If the object is to expose industrial
development far possible to veXat1on ana
Matchmaking by State officials, then the sure
road is TO leave all power of regulation and re
striction to the many States which can contrive
new laws faster than any one court can detect
and denounce their unsoundness. But all who
wish TO see full protection for industrial devel-
opment, and also for the people against oppres-
sion, will realize that the short road is to en-
power one legislative body, the Congress of the
United States, to enact such laws subject to
the decision Of the Supreme Court TO their
constitutionality. In the light of these facts
the nearly unanimous vote Of Democrats to eX-
ercise without any grant powers never yet
claimed by Congress, with their nearly unani-
nous vote against an amendment granting to
Congress such powers, will rank one Of the
most shameless exhibitions CT modern political
history
