Kaiser and Painter.

There was a touching exchange Of
compliments the other day between EN-
peror William and the Russian painter
Verestchagin, whose works are now on
exhibition in Berlin. The kaiser went
to the gallery and was gracious enough
to remind the artist that they had met
before. Eyes, your majesty" replied
Verestchagin, "and then you were only
'highness, but now you are majesty. T"
To this the kaiser is said to have replied,
holding out his hand, "And you, who
were a great painter then, are now a
greater one" ....
1t is not altogether surprising that
the Russian is reported as expressing
deep respect for the emperor's critical
powers, or Cat he quotes, as showing
imitless historical knowledge, the en-
peror's declaration, made at this mo-
mentous interview, that "if ever judg-
ment Of God broke over q man, It was
over Napoleon at Moscow" Meanwhile
Verestchagin g pictures will continue to
reveal the horrors Of militarism, and
thus supply one with the pleasant men,

ropes one real war lord can see to ad-

An Uawritten Law About District Attorneys
Appointed by the GoNernor.

There Is no provision OF law or Of the Consti-
tuition In New York which prohibits a District
Attorney from being reelected or a District
Attorney appointed to I'LL a vacancy from being
his own successor; but for some reason, District
Attorneys In New York county appointed TO I'LL
vacancies are not afterward elected. though
there are many present indications that the
present District Attorney, William NJ. X. olcott,
may DO tho first to break the almost immemorial
rule In November.
After tho death OF District Attorney John
McKeon In 1883, the Governor appointed as his
successor Peter b. olncy. Il brother Of the
present Secretary OF State Olney. The new
District Attorney administered the affairs Of the
office for n year, being active in the official con-
Germs OF the County Democracy. OF which no
was u member, and Mt the request Of which he
had been appointed TO succeed Mr.. McKeon.
When, however, IL came time to mako u NOM

olney retired from office on Dec. 81, 1884.

bad been for many Years Mr.. Phelps's first
assistant, served as District Attorney until the

There have been several curious manifesto
lions OF the change in popular sentiment on tho
subject OF the District Attorneys office In New
York. Six years elapsed, with one term inter.
vening, between the first and tho second term

Government Crop Reports.

The returns to the statistician Of the
agricultural department. for October
make the general condition Of corn 80. 8
per cent against 81 for September. The
wheat crop is generally short in guam
tity and poor in quality. A decrease in
oats is also noticeable, but not to 90
great an extent.
The worlds sugar crop for 1855 is
placed at 2, 069, 1853 tons against 8, 208,
861 tons last year. In this estimate the
beet sugar producing countries, exclud.
ing the United States, furnish A, 235, 100
tons against 4.68S, 500 in 1894-5. The
worlds visible supply is estimated to
be 1881, ,306 tons against 1900, Alb tons
last year. Returns for cotton show a
decline Of 8.5 points from September
condition, being g. for October.
