Changes in Football Rules.

The changes Just made in the football rules toucn
minor points only but they will help the game
The most important modification from the point OIL
view of the development Of open play was the lin-
position of ten yards penalty for the Intentional
grounding Of q forward pass This device was made
use of in the Army Navy game last fall TO protect
the side trying to pass the ball. IF conditions were
not favorable for throwing 1t the quarterDach
grounded it and the play counted merely as an un-
completed pass. That gave the attacking SIDE an
undue advantage since the good work of the de-
fence In breaking up the play was nullihed. The
forward pass when well executed, is so difficult Il
pIav TO guard against that the defence is entitled
TO fair chance TO intercept the ball when the play
goes wrong.
The committee eliminated the possibility OF Il
freak safety touchdown such as that scored in the
Harvard Yale game and made stricter the rule re-
curing a head coach to stick TO the players bench
These changes will also be beneficial. The question
Of numbering the players-in which the pubic Is
keenly intereSted-was put over until next year
Football is now more firmly established in popular
favor than ever before. II is the most stirring OF
college sports, and every change that makes it
cleaner and more attractive is welcome TO the great
community which enthusiastically supports it. Its
greatest conservator is an intelligent and broad
minded committee on rules

The Tilden Centenary.

Samuel j. Tilden's career in national politics was
strange sequence Of diSappontmentS curious
fatality seemed to dog his steps. He attached him
self early to the fortunes Of Martin Van Buren, and
to the cause OF Free Soil He of the pioneer
Free Sellers in 1S4S But the stronger the North's
conviction grew that the spread of slavery must be
checked the weaker became Tildens enthusiasm for
checking it. He started ahead of the sentiment Of
his section and finished far behind it, BY 1860
when most Northern Democrats had come around TO
Douglass view that the Union must be preserved
by curbng the slave power, he had retreated TO the
point at which he could advocate policy Of 'com-
plete federal non-acton' on slavery.
His cold, mathematical mind unaffected by
the emotions aroused by the slavery issue. The
chief weakness in his nature was an unwncncss
TO follow the call Of an idea. lis great talents as
a party manager and an administrator and his
splendid record prosecutor of corruption in this
city and state finally gave him nomination for
tn, Presidency. Most people will probably agree
with him in the opinion that he was uniusty de-
pr.ved of his title But when the time came to ap-
peal from the commission which had counted him
out to the people who had voted him in. he vac-
lated. He said that the "Crime of seventy-seven"
must not be "condoned." Yet he helped TO con
done" it by refusing to take the Democratic nom
nation in 1880. The country naturally refused 10
vindcate him by electng General Hancock.
Again in 1854, when he could probably have been
elected he declined in Grover Cleveland's favor and
lived to regret bitterly thlt declination. since Mr.
Cleveland ignored him after the election He was
always on the road TO power and fame party
leader, but never quite attained them
New York state and city owe him much however
for his gallant exposure of the Tweed ring and tha
canal ring He was the implacablc enemy of cor
rupton and pursued it into the strongholds of
his party His conviction Of Tweed was one of
IL finest possible illustrations Of the stern perform
ance Of civic duty. May his example continue to be
an inspiration in similar contingencies. The CEN
tenary committee should not complete it's abcrs
without sending copy Of John Bigclow's Life Of
1ilden" to Cover or Glynn.

What Tt Costs TO Live.

The figures compiled by the Association for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor showing that a
family of five must have $1,000 year 10 live with
reasonable comfort i'm this city interesting.
Their practical value is about great the table

figures are based on an actual experience with the
maintenance of twenty-seven families. Yet they
might as well be pure theory, for there is nothing
so impossible TO reduce TO n standard-or standards
as the of living. The association deems 1850

The Truth of History in School Books

There is food for thought in what was said in
London the other day about the teaching of inter
national history in school books. An English speaker
wanted American textbooks TO give less space TO the
Revolution and an American wanted British books
to give more truthful accounts of America Both
probably had cause for what they said though we
doubt If II was or is quite as serious as some SUD
pose. In view Of the transcendent Importance Of
the Revolution, there is little chance of giving too
much space 10 it, All that can be asked is that the
space be justly and mpartally filled As for British
books about America. do not think that they are
being generally written by rcincarnations Of Mrs
Trollope or Basil Hall
But there is much truth in the suggestion that
the writing of international history in school books
Is task of peculiar delicacy and Importance The
childish mind cannot discriminate between the false
and the true, and it exercise sense Of pro-
portion between the important and the trivial 1t is
10 Ice feared that thus both sides of the ocean
popular prejudicos have been fostered and perpetu-
ated though perhaps without any evil intent For it
Is not enough that actual uuruths should be avoided
There should be Scrupulous avoidance also Of
statements however true. which the childish mind
cannot justly appreciate and which may therefore
convey an erroneous impression.

CHILDREN OF THE BARGES
Help Is Asked to Remedy Their Hit
crate Condition.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is it right for this great and beau-
tiful city OF New York TO raise a crop OF
analphabets? Four hundred to six nun
dred children are growing up right here
without getting the chance to so to school.
All of these children will be Ameri-
can citizens some day; most OF them are
American by birth.
The children in question arc the chill

and derricks in the Port Of New York.
These captains have TO be married mon.

They may be at the West Shore IN the
morning and at Staten Island at nigh,
or they may leave Harlem for Hoboken,
and so on.
Where shall the children go to school?
How can they reach their floating home
after school? Can they find out where
the barge is and make their way through
the big city? Can the parents afford TO
give them in board ashore? Can they
