the law recently passed by Congress for

to all parts of the country, and will be
enforced wherever there may be a neces-

law was more especially called for by the
outrages in the south, and he particularly
enjoins it upon the people there to unite

further says that, although the powers
conferred upon hin by the law are extra
ordinary, he shall exhaust them, in cases
of necessity. in protecting the rights OF

The language is firm and digniied, yet
kind, ana we have no doubt the procla-

said that the moral effect of the law is

AN Associated Press dispatch says that
the government has proposition from
European capitalists to take two hundred
millions of the new loan, provided the
interest on the bonds is made payable
abroad This proposition could not be
accepted without an amendment of the
law authorizing the loan, as we believe
that requires the interest to be paid in
this country. If the loan is not all taken
by our own people, or likely to be so
taken, by the time Congress meets, and
such proposition as the above is then
pending, it might be we'll to make such
amendment of the law. 1t would make
but little difference with the government.
If however, the loan can all be negotla-
ted here, it would be preferable in some
respects the bonds would be less liable
to fiuctucate in price, ard our money
market would not be so readily affected
by European complications Wisconsin,.

about his future prospects, and he was, as
I feared I should find him, in q very de-

unless you send mo some moro money

My husband has got another little red
headed imp that he calls his wife and she
says she has got just as good a right "a
everything as have, and he tells her the
same, and then because cannot submit Ia
it, he whips me like a dog. Icannot stand

of Heaven help me away and will
thank you more than can tell. Help me

BRAVO. UOFFM AN.

Gov. Hoffman hesitates not an ln-
slant when duty requires him to act.
He has the utmost confidence in his own
judgment and conducts himself in ey-
ery instance, without any regard to
consequences personal to himself In
, vetoing certain bills born Of the wants
or necessities Of his most intimate and
influential friends, he exhibited, in a
striking manner, this disposition to in
dulge his own judgment in the face OF
protest difficult to resist and now, in
his conduct with reference to the
threats made by the Irish Catholics Of
New York city against their hereditary
foes, the Orangemen, he has again
challenged the applause of the country
Revoking the proclamation of Kelso,
the policeman, forbidding the Orange
mems parade, he declared that they
might parade if they wished, and sum-
moned all the forces of the state to pro-
tect them in the exercise of that right.
All the country will applaud him.
Every man, native or foreign born, who
respects our political institutions, will
thank him for stepping in and prevent
ing the mob from assaulting liberty in
its most cherished home If he had
held aloof and allowed Kelso to pro-
hibit the parade Of the Orangemen, q
precedent would have been established
hat would have resulted in manifold
roubles in the future. If the New
York mob of Catholics had been per-
nitted to prevent the parade of Orange
men this year, uext year a Protestant
mob at Pittsburg, or Philadelphia,
would have undertaken so prevent the
parade of Catholics. But Gov. Hoff-
nan understands the institutions of our
government too well to permit the es-
of so dangerous prece-
lent, and said to the threatened Or
'ngcmcn; fyou wish to parade, do so;
and here l stand with all the power
of the state to punish any body of men
who shall dare attempt to molcst or
make you afraid" Ifthe Protestants
lad threatened the Catholics he would
,avc done no more, no less. Bravo,
Hoffman!
