A Marked Contrast.

New York Sun.
Whatever Governor Hoadly did, there
is one thing which he did not do, and the
fact will stand to his everlasting honor.
He did not call on the President of the
United States to send Federal troops to
suppress a local riot. His course in this
respect is in marked contrast with the
frantic appeals for Federal assistance
made during the railroad riots of 1877 by
John F. Hartranft, the Republican gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, and John Lee
Carroll, the Democratic governor of Ma
ryland.

KAISER.-Kaiser Wilhelm wears civilian
dress only when at Ems. As soon as he
leaves he puts on his uniform, and he al
ways appears before his people in brass
buttons and military cap. Even at home
in Berlin he dresses in uniform, and his
palace is filled with military relics. The
portraits on the walls are those of princes
in uniform, and in the reception salon
there is a series of shelves covered with
models of cannons, rifles, shells and little
wooden figures dressed in the different
military costumes all over the world.

is less attributable to physical than to
mental causes. 1t deprives him of the
