GALLAUDET WINS
PRACTICE MATCH
Central Highs Team Is De-
feated, II to 0.

In short practice game of fve-minute
quarters, Gallaudet found no difficulty IN
giving the husky Central High inter-
scholastic championship aspirants II to
defeat at Kendall Green yesterday.
The game looked like to 0 contest
between straight football by Central and
open-style football by Gallaudet until
the Kendall Greeners opened the last
quarter with a tremendous rush, rolling
up II points in five minutes. The saw
age attacks by Roller and a pretty 35-
yard quarterback run by Moore. end
ing in a plunge from the l-yard line by
Roller, secured the first touchdown for
Gallaudet. Two neat forward passes to
Battiste and another to Jacobson netted
so yards, Roller going over the line 6
yards for the second touchdown. Roller
kicked both goals.
For the losers, Capt. Hamilton played
a great plunging game, while little Nc
Donough, at quarter back, ran his team
in a snappy way.
Capt Battiste, Roller and Moore were
stars for Gallaudet. The shift in the
Bun and Blue lineup seemed to work
out satisfactorily. considering its light
ness for a college eleven. Lineup and

LOOSE WORK FOR TIGERS.
Princeton's Practice Fails to In
Epire the Coaches.


Princeton, n. J., Nov. 1.-The Princeton
Tigers were run through one of the long
est practices of the year this afternoon,
and little could be said in praise of the
first string of warriors. They were play
ing their old, 'loose game that proved so
discouraging to the coaches. This, too,
was the last hard work that they, will
be given before the Harvard game on
Saturday. DUFFY and Capt. Hart, as
usual, showed up best, but their work
was individual and not team play. Blu

for almost a week, is back at his old

Unnecessary Publicity.

In excluding women from the Schenk
trial the presiding judge has acted wisely
Murder trials must occur for the protec-
ton of society. and divorce trials must
be held. if divorces are to be granted
but there seems no good reason why they
should be made public Spectacles
This matter of making a continuous
performance of murder. divorce. and
other trials for the delectation of the
p-urient is something that well might at
tract the attention of Legislators. Courts
can hardly control it without the back
ing of law or public sentiment. Only
recently judge in New York who tried
to suppress the nauseating details of a
divorce trial received criticism instead of
praise. Publicity may be necessary TO in
sure protection TO society. but there are
some kinds of publicity which do more
harm than good. Formerly, executions
We're held in public. but in most of the
States now all executions are in pri-
vate, and the papers are not filled with
the grewsome details.
Might not murder or divorce trials be
equally sequestered from the public eye
and ear?

eral circulation and a market for gov
eminent bonds to sustain the national
credit.
This system was not the offspring of a
party policy, but of national emer-
gency when the fate of the Union was at
stake; and it received general support.
Those who doubted its wisdom. even
under the circumstances. and who op-
posed its continuance when the emer-
gency had passed, long were in a small
minority, but it was not a partisan
minority: and the defenders of the sys-
tenn were not of one party.
1t is too soon now to announce fixed
plans or fixed ideas regarding the action
to be taken. The Aldrich plan serves at
present the purpose OF concentrating at
tention and giving direction to the dis
cussion by which the legislative mind,
the business mind. and the popular mind
are to be educated on this momentous
subject.

Panama VS.. SueZ.

\ leading argument advanced by the
opponents of the fertilization Of the Pan
anna Canal is the fact that the Suez Canal
has been neutralized and is not fortified.
The fact that Great Britain assented to
the naturalization of the Suez Canal is
also emphasized: but that canal was not
built with English money. nor does it
pass through British territory.
When Count de Lesseps conceived the
idea of constructing the Suez Canal and
sought to interest English capital. he was
ridiculed. Later. through the interces
backing and recognition of the French
government. and through the good offices
of Napoleon III the consent of the ruling
Khedive was secured for the cutting of
the canal across the Isthmus of Suez. OF
course that canal was built mainly with
French money and under French aus
pices.
The territory through which the Suez
Canal was built was under the suzerainty
of Turkey and dominated by Egypt.

natural enough that England should

Not a Party Issue.

Questions of banking and currency have
been made party issues in this country
and may be So made again. but in the
situation now before US they ought not
to be treated such. They are ques-
tons vitality affecting the industrial and
commercial interests of the country. for
all of its people alike. They are eco
nomic questions. underneath which lie
principles that no political action can
change.
What our people most need is educa-
ton to a fuller knowledge and a clearer
understanding of this subject in its re-
lation TO their own prosperity and we'll
being. The errors of the past appear to
have brought them to critical stage
which challenges closer attention and
more serious thinking than ever before.
There is a growing feeling that some
thing needs to he done to correct the
errors and defects of our present sys-
tenn; but there is much confusion of
mind as to what the need is and how il
is to be met.
The necessity for fuller knowledge and
clearer understanding is general. 1t is
felt by bankers and financiers. by bust
ness men of every kind. as well as by the
common people. The period for such
knowledge. no doubt. has arrived with
the preliminary announcement in outline
Of the monetary commissions tentative

1t Is futile TO talk of any definite leg

that needs great deal OF thrashing

cisive action is to be expected from the
new Congress which comes into exist
ence March next. but the first regular
session of which will not open until De-
cembers There will be no chance of it.
II it is to he made a party ISSUE with
one House in the control Of one party

Virginia Horses.

We desire to enter our most emphatic
dissent from the opinion expressed by
Representative Mann. of Illinois, recently
on the floor of the House. that Virginia
horses are too aristocratic to be used
by the United States army We admit
that for aristocracy in horse flesh Vir-
GINA is without an equal We have been
told by more or less irresponsible persons
that there are horses in that State the
lineage Of which can be traced back to
the settlement of jamestown, and multi
tudes the pedigrees of which stretch back
to the French and Indian war. II this in
formation be true. it is only reasonable
to suppose that Virginia leads the rest
of the country in the matter of equine
blue blood
According to our view of the matter,
the army is entitled to the most aristo-
cratic horses on the market. We think
it i'll advised and in the last degree
inappropriate that the cavalry, univer-
sally regarded as the aristocracy of
every army. should be supplied with any
breed Of horses Of pedisrees in any re-
spect open 10 question.
OF course. We do not Wish to be UNDER
stood as denying that other sections of
the country are able to furnish horses
with certain merits Of their own. The
New York horse has some exceedingly
snowy qualities. Yet We cannot help
feeding thas his culture is superncial;
