coat was modified Prince Albert.
The body OF the coat had its lapels
faced with scarlet, and the skirt was
drawn upon it with considerable full

youth dressed in. the same manner as
his master, served cups OF strong sweet

GERMAN 3 ELECTIONS.
They Are Conducted In n Quiet ws5, and
Nobody Gets Excited.

To q German the hurly-burly OF an
American election Is quite incompre-
hensible. As the subject OF n constitu.
tional government, under which the
right OF suffrage is general, he thinks
he knows n thing or two about the
tactics OF a political campaign before
coming TO America. He has, however,
every thing to learn about brass bands,
torches and oil-cloth uniforms as in
struments OF political warfare. When
the German Prime Minister appeals to
the people for II verdict on his measures
aslight ripple OF excitement passes over
political circles. The newspapers dis
cuss, In an abstract manner, tho issues
at stake. Correspondents write vague
generalities concerning Mr. Schmidt's
or Mr.. Meyers ability to carry his
district. Careful calculations and
thorough canvasses are unknown, or.
II known, are not communicated TO the
newspapers. Campaign committees
are not constantly appealing for
money. Mutual ordinations and re-
ordinations concerning colonization
and bribery aro never hearl. The
German citizen in politics is the Ger.
man still. lie remains the phlegmatic,
deliberate, conservative student. lie
wears no badges or buttons before
election. We're he 10 wear broom or
rooster on his hat after election the
police would promptly lug him off TO
Jail.
As election day approaches n few
quiet meetings are held. The officers
linger longer over their coffee in the
cafes TO tell each other "Bismarck's
all right" But they don't say it that
way. They say 1t in sonorous topsy-
turvy sentences OF classical German
words, eight syllables long, In tho
beer restaurants u Radical tells Con-
servstive Bismarck is all wrong. The
Conservative demurs. The difference
OF opinions is drowned In clatter OF
mugs aud long draughts OF beer, and
the conversation turns TO the latest
opera or a prospective bowling party.
When German gentlemen do discuss
politics with American ardOr they not
infrequently conclude TO settle the mat
ter with pistols. Early in January,
1887, Wilhelm llillenberg, an East
Prussian, heard man speak OF Bis
marcl1 as n rascal, in the Loewenbrau
restaurant Berlin. Mr.. Hillenberg
was an admirer OF Bismarck. He
challenged the stranger who thought
the Chancellor rascal to fight with
pistols. The duel was fought in the
Grunewald, near Berlin. Bismarck's
defamer got bullet in the leg. Bis
marck's defender got of scot free.
Such affairs, though exceptional, ar g
OF too common occurre nee TO excite
much comment.
The general and intense suspense
which prevails In the United States on
election evening has no parallel in
Germany For instance, early in 1887
tremendous interests were ut stake on
the continent Declaration OF war be-
tween France and Germany was ex-
pected daily. In view of Frances
threatening attitude, Bismarck had APP
pealed TO the country TO return men to
the Reichstag who would vote to in
crease the standing army. Yet on
election evening Bcrlincrs were little
excited. A few more men walked
unter den Linden. A few more
Lieutenants than usual ogled women
