...final game found the elevens of both universities in the best of condition and a contest resulted that was fully worthy of the large crowd of 30,000 spectators who witnessed the play. It was a defeat, decisive and convincing, but one which the pluck and unremitting endeavor of the losers rendered almost as satisfying as a victory. Even after Yale had scored two touchdowns in the first half, such was the power already made evident by the Harvard team that a successful outcome was still expected with a large degree of confidence.

Passing over the propriety of such a remedy, I am not sure that "every endeavor has been made to conciliate us and to purchase our acquiescence." The Clayton-Bulwer treaty may have been repealed to strengthen an Anglo-Saxon understanding, but hardly to purchase our acquiescence in a war policy pursued on a continent to which, happily, the Monroe Doctrine does not extend. The announcement in Parliament the other day that England alone had sided with...
