The contest that has been going on for
several years between the King and the
representatives of the people in Norway
has not yet ended. Tho power Of the King,
however, has been gradually limited and
the liberty Of the people enlarsed, until
that country Is now, perhaps, the most
LIBERAL constitutional monarchy in the
world, England not excepted. This has
not been attained without struggle, but
the struggle has not been one Of arms and
carnage, but a parliamentary, if not a
/ friendly, one. There has been great pop
/ ular revolution in Norway, and that il has
not eliminated in bloody civil war is
/ due to the good judgment and forbearance
Of both the King and the leaders of the
popular party.
A similar revolution has been going on
in the neighbUring kingdom of Denmark.
Substantially the same issue has been
made between the King aud the Legisla-
ture as was made in Norway. In the lat
ter country the ministers refused TO hold
themselves responsible TO the legislative
body, and acknowledged themselves re-
sponsible only to the King, and they were
one by one impeached and punished as pro-
yided ny the Norwegian constitution. In
Denmark the King ignored the parliament
tary principle recognized by the Danish
constitution which requires that his Cab
met shall be formed from the party which
has the ma jority in the legislative body.
He persisted in forming his Cabinet from
the Conservative minority, and his action
was resented by a refusal on the part Of
the Legislature to pass the necessary
measure for raising revenues for the sup
port Of the monarchy. This has been
done for several terms, and the King has
regularly gone beyond his constitutional
power by levyfng taxes without legisla-
tive sanction. The Legislature has regu-
larly emphasized its condemnation of this
usurpation by refusing to pass the bud
get, or appropriation bill. The last action
OF this kind was taken last week. The
Liberals have a large majority in Den
mark, but they seem powerless to do
more than protest against the unconstItu-
tional acts Of the sovereign.
The Danes are, perhaps, not naturally
50 conservative or peaceably disposed as
their more northern neighbors. Were
they not menaced by the great powers Of
Europe, most Of the sovereigns of which
are closely connected by ties of consan-
guinity with King Christian, no doubt
they would assert their rights under the
constitution in a more energetic manner
than by parliamentary protests.
Before many years shall elapse both
Norway and Denmark my take advant-
age Of fortuitous events and throw of the
regal yoke. Both countries are probably
far better prepared for selfgovernment
than any other in Europe.

The Boats go Sailing.
From Ito Quiger

From tho Qui1er
The boats go sailing, sailing
Over silver sea;
The wind has hushed its walling
Through bush and tree.
Hand in hand, let us fare together,
Through the sunny and windy weather.
The birds have hushed their choras;
Stars through the twilight soft
Will soon be glimmerlng DER US
The moons aloft.
Hand in hand. let us hold together,
Through the dark and starllt weather.
With dewy drops of healing
The thirsty grass is pearled;
A Sabbath calm IL stealing
About the wOrl
Hand in hand, let US fare together.
Through the working days and Sabbath
weather.
The little flowers are sleeping;
The sun is out of sight,
God have us in His keeping
All through the night
Tomorrow, let us fare together,
Still onward through the changing
weather.

Such men as Thurman and the more decent
democrats have been Ignored IN the past OHIO
campaign, and all the worst teachings of the
worst Republican leaders have been followed

Gratis seem to have out,tOlen and oulfrauded

the wonder is that it should last through one

enough that the exertions Of the few IN the

The most bitter Of the bloody shirt ora
tors appear to realize that it is worse than
useless for them TO advocate the '.recon-
struction" OF the Southern States, and by
force placing them back under carpet-bag
and scallawag rule. They know that they
could carry very few, if any, Northern
States on such an issue as that, but they
think that il is a rather spacious thing to
alege that the Republican voters (ne-
groes) OF the South are denied the right to
vote, and to advocate the reduction of the
number of Congressman allowed this Sec
ton. There is no room TO doubt that this
proposition is campaign clap-trap, pure
and simple.
Senator Sherman pretends to believe
that 1,150.000 negro votes in the South
were suppressed because a comparison
showed that the number Of votes cast in
the past presidential election was that
many short of the whole number OF per-
sons entitled to vote as indicated by the
census returns. He assumes, and he is a
man who Is cheeky and unprincipled
enough to assume anything
that he thinks will forward
his schemes, that all who failed
to vote in the South in the last election
were not only Republicans, but colored
men who were buldOzed or kept away
from the polls by terrorism. The truth is,
that probably as many whites as coiored
people failed to vote, and that the Demo-
Gratis lost as many votes by apathy as the
Republicans did, for no unprejudiced man
who knows anything about the matter
Will assert that there was not as free a
vote and as fair count in the Southern
as in the Northern States.
Sherman and his brother ranters failed
/ TO compare the census of the Northern
/ States with the number OF votes cast.
| Such a comparison, from Sherman
standpoint, shows that more Northern
than Southern people were bulldozed or
kept from voting according to the dictates
Of their consciences,
should the congressional delegations be
cut down the North would lose more
than the South, and the heaviest losses
would occur in thu safely Republican
States.
The Republican orators seem to adore IS
themselves to the credulous and ignorant
voters of the Northern States. Certainly
no unprejudioed and intelligent man can
be influenced by such stuff as they deal
out. We shall probably hear very little
Of the proposition for a reduction of the
number Of Congressman TO correspond
with the Suppressed vote" after the No
yember elections until another campaign
opens.

ignorant Of the fact that the shrillest and
most discOrdant tones are not those which
can be the most distinctly heard at dis
lance, and which travel furthest. A mu-
steal note is the most audible; but rail-
way drivers appear to think the greater
the discord they can produce by turning
on the steam a. different velocities, the
greater the effect, and they delight in
nothing so much as 'whistling down a

signal man hears the first sound, and
that, however long and Mostly thes blow,

The Georgia state Fair

There is little room to doubt that the
State Fair, which opens in Macon to-day
and continues during the week, will be
one Of the finest expositions of the re-
sources and productions Of Georgia ever
held. The preparations, which are COM
plete, ar9AaId to be thorough, and the
entries of exhibits are very large and
varied I'D
The fair IS TO be held as usual under
the auspices of the State Agricultural
Society, which has long been faithful and
persistent in developing and making
known the agricultural and mechanical
resources of the State. This fact should
secure for it the patronage and the good
wishes OF every true Georgian. But, put
ting sentiment aside, those who wish
to gather information as we'll as
those who wish to be entertained
will find that it will handsomely repay
them to make visit to the fair. There
Is no denying that the State fairs have
been the means of accomplishing much
that is good in educating the people, and
much that is profitable in building up the
States varied Industrial interests. The
people seem to have fully appreciated the
Importance of these expositions, and
when properly managed they have always
given them the patronage they deserve.
There is a social feature about the Geor-
gia State fairs that contributes very large
ly towards making them enjoyable and
successful-the annualreunions of friends
and relatives from all parts of the State
which take place on the fair grounds.
The departments of horses, cattle, agri-
cultural products, handiwOrk, ETC.. it is
said, will be unusually full this year. The
programme Is well gotten up. While
gambling and swindling games will not
be tolerated on the grounds, the races and
other attractive features Of the fair Will
furnish a delightful variety to interest,
smuse and instruct the visitor.
