1 lation to her wishes Since then her Iredominance has strengthened year hy year, owing to the fact that the Magyars enjoy more perfect cohesion than the Germans in Austria The mor- tification thus produced in Austria Is accentuated by another curious fact. In order to give the illusion of her predominance a semblanee of reality, she agreed in the compromise that she should pay two-thirds of the common expenditure, while Hungary should only pay one-third. Thus while the Magyars call the tune, it is always the Austrians who pay the piper. Tho other main respect in which the com promise has broken down is in the falsidcation of the assumption that in the two halves of the dual monarchy the dominent minorities would pursue like career. So far from this being the case, the very reverse has hap pened. While the Magyars have. for the most part, remained united, and their constitution has worked, if not quite smoothly. at any rate effectively, the Germans in Austria have become split up into factions, which have az grayated all the normal anarchicsl con- aitions, and have ended by paralyzing the whole constitution. Hungary has remained constitutional state, whils Austria has virtually returned to abr solutism.
 In the light of these leading facts, it will not be difficult to understand ths present crisis. Since 1875 the preten- sions of the Magyars, encouraged by the growing embarrassments of Aus tria, have gradually expanded, until

Lord PaImerston once said of the Schleswig- Holstein question that he believed 1t had been mastered by only one person. and he was a very erndite German professor who had died short ly afterwards in a lunatic asylum. Whether anybody outside narrow cir Gle of Eiennese specialists has succeed ed in mastering the Austro- Hungarian problem is doubtful, for it Is far more complicated than even the bewildering tangle of the question of the Danish duchies. The latter, at any rate, dealt with political conditions within the scope of natural law. while the Austri- an problem belongs to the category of impossibilities of which the squaring of the circle is the classic type. It is an effort to establish political harmony and union where all the elements are ID fundamental conflict, and this ef- fort Is made by means of an alliance between two ostensibly liberal consti- tutions, the basis of which is the op- pression of the majority of the popula- tion by two mutually antagonistic mi norities. These extraordinary factors too. operate under conditions which are all eccentric, and in which neither the course of history nor the evolution Of national character Is amenable to any logical process. To understand in de- tail the anarchy which now reigns in the dual monarchy one must go back to the famous compromise of 1867, by which the modern relations of Austria and Hungary are supposed to be regu- lated. Previously to this compromise the unity of the empire was assured by an absolutism as real and as central

BOYCOTT HYPERION.
Yale Men Sore Over Two-Ticket Linn.

 it for Football Night. New Haven, Nov 17-The manage. ment of the Hyperion theater has in. cured the displeasure of Yale under. graduates in its decision not to allow more than two tickets to any one per son for the show booked for the Hy. perion football night" Yale men who have invited their fair friends and their chaperones for the game and the show afterwards are now at a loss to understand how they ean make goodn to their friends unless they pay fabulous prices to specula- tors, and then they stand chance of not being able to sit with their com, pany.
 Harold F. Andrews, prominent "Sheff" man. stated yesterday that a petition would be circulated among the undergraduates asking them to cut out the Hyperion for the rest of the year and to patronize the Grand. the management of which will he re- quested to put on higher priced class of shows than It now furnishes.
 The Hyperion management says that in allowing only two tickets to each person they will be treating all alike, and that their action was caused by the big demand for tickets.
 A speculatOr yesterday stated that he paid S4 apiece for two tickets in the orchestra circle, and claims he will make $4 or s5 on their sale. The house Is sold out
 One Yale man was found yesterday who wasn't mad at all over the mat ter. He said it was fine excuse for leaving the sharp-eyed chaperona be- hind and having his precious all to himself.

1 to-day they aim at nothing less than the complete independence of Hungary, subject only to a common dyansty. From 1867 to 1875 the Deakists were in majority in the diet with a conserv- stiye policy scrupulously framed on the compromise. This party was over turned by the liberals under Koloman Tizsa, who was in favor of internal reforms. and of stronger nationalism in the relations with Austria For over quarter of century the liberals re- mained in power, consolidating the Kingdom and rendering 1t year by year more powerful. They continued, how ever, faithful to both the letter and the spirit of the compromise, and 10 this they owed their undoing. The con sciousness of national strength seemed to certain patriots incompatible with the restrictions of the compromise. and so in 1898 an independence party srose, which endeavored to attain It's ends by a system of obstruction in the diet. For some years this party did little else than bring the diet to state of chaos resembling that of the rich srath in Vienna: but in 1902 1t found a platform on which 1t was enabled to make an effective appeal to the people This was the demand for a national army, in which the words of command should be given in Magyar instead of. ss at present, in German. The liberals opposed the scheme on the ground that the unity of the army was one of the chief links between the two states. and ia this attitude they wsre strongly sup ported by the crown.
 It is on this sch4me that the two par ties have now joined issue In AusIr the scheme is opposed for two reasons -one unionist. the other exclusively German The unionists declare that the army is the one institution in the empire which has been kept free of the struggle of natiJlalities. and that this is chiefly owing to the linguistic liml- tation. They urge. too. that this unity oi the army Is indispensable for the ef- fective protection of the empire and for the msintsBanes of its dignity among the great powers. The German argument cannot be % frankly stated. ! because it is German rather than pstri- 1 oiie. The Msgyarisation of the Hun | carish army would prove the last blow to the illusion of German predomin- Snce in the dual monarchy. and hencs it is anathema la Vienna. lt sill con sequentiy be seen that on this dispute the long groving alienation of Magyarr and Germans has rezrhsd brsakins point

 day. This state of affairs, however, was
 suddenly shaken to its foundations by
 the cruel blow of Sadowa. The Haps- |. burg dyansty, with its German oli- garchy, found itself at the mercy of the Magyars and the various Slav nation slities. each of which was ready to tear
 the hated oppressors to pieces. In this dilemma. the dynasty with its German
 following resolved to come to terms

Refinement does not necessarily ac- company the acquisition of wealth, 2 6ne house, an extensive library and an automobile. It lies rather in the indi- vidual's mastery of himself, inability to withstand the temptations of life, in be- ing innocent and lofty in his secret thoughts. Every man will be impure and vicious unless he obtains this mastery. His gain in Knowledge, breadth of information and view, inti- mate acquaintance with men and affairs -all these will avail him little in the final struggle without that mastery Brooklyn Eagle.
