Waldemar, of Denmark, from the obscure
position of the youngest son of the King of
petty power. has been suddenly raised to a
throne, which is just at present more inse-
cure than any in Europe. Now in his thirty
ninth year, he may be fairly supposed to
have more worldly wisdom and experience
than the young but gallant Alexander, who
graduated from a Prussian regiment to a
princes throne. Then Waldemar has 9TH
er advantages. Though Denmark is small
Kingdom. its royal family is probably more
influential than any other in Europe, as it
has furnished influential members to several.
and even extended its alliances to the royal
family Of France. Waldemar's oldest broth
er, the heir apparent of Denmark, married
the Swedish Princess, Louisa; his next
brother, George, is King of Greece, and the
husband ofthe Russian grand duchess Olga:
MS Oldest sister is Princess Alexandria, of
Wales, mother of the future Kings of Eng
land; his second sister is the Princess Ma
RE Dagmar, present Empress of Russia.
Waldemar himself has welded a niece of
the Comte de Paris, the daughter of the Due
de Chatres. IL matrimonial alliances count
for anything in politics, Waldemar ought
certainly to maintain himself on the Bulga-
rian throne. But, nevertheless, the future
does not look bright for him. The Gar will
allow no one on the Bulgarian throne, not
even brother-in-law, who will not bow to
the despotic authority of Russia; and there
is little indication that the Bulgarians
VIII make 1t very pleasant to Prince who
does SO defer to foreign influence. At the
best Waldemar is between the devil and the
deem sea

RUSSIA AND BULGARIA.

The election Of Waldemar on its face Ger.
tainly looks like a surrender to Russia
Waldemar is the brother of the Czarina, and
year ago it is known that Car would have
glad to put him on the throne. When exam
ined more closely, however, it becomes q
question whether his election. was not a
shrewd move on the part of the Sobranje to
but Russia in an indefensible attitude before
the powers. Russia has already denied the
legality Of the session Of the Sobraje which
has elected Waldemar. To ratify that cleo
ton would, therefore, be equivalent to a re
versal of her opinion for no better reason
than the Sobranie had chosen a Russian
sympathizer and man likely to prove a
mere puppet in her hands. Careless con-
corning the consistency or the inconsistency
Of his acts as the Gar generally is, it is
doubtful If he is ready to acknowledge be-
fore Europe that the legality of the acts OF
the Bulgarian government is to hinge en-
tirely on the question whether those acts are
agreeable or disagreeable to Russia.
Another thing tending to show that the So
branJe was simply playing a game, is the
TACT that Waldemar does not want the throne
and is not likely to accept it. He apparent
ly has sense enough to see that at best he
would be only tool in the hands of Russia
70 accomplish her designs in Bulgaria, and
that when he ceased to be useful for such
purpose or to be willing to serve it, he would
be as unceremoniously disposed of as was
the unfortunate Alexander, who was kid
mapped and carried off by Russian agents
But affairs are rapidly approaching a cri-
SIS ana we shall soon know definitely what
the SobranJe meant, whether to surrender
to Russia or to betray her into a false move
that shall put her at a disadvantage during
the remainder of the game.

New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Penn

in all. The Democrats will have a majority
in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
West Virgnia-17 in all. New Hampshire is
tied and would therefore have no vote.
Rhode Island and Colorado are at present
unsettled. If the Republicans should get
one of these and the Democrats the other, as
appears probable, then in the next House
the Republicans would hold 10 States, and
the Democrats is. That is, neither would
have a majority of all the States, therefore
the House could not elect President unless
some of the Democrats voted with the Re-
publicans or vice versa, which it is improb-
able that they would do. The Vice Presi-
dent, in case of the failure of the electors to
elect, is chosen by the Senate, from the two
highest names on the list voted for by the
electors. Each Senator has one vote, and
majority of the whole number of Senators
is necessary to elect. The Republicans have
the requisite majority, and therefore could
elect Vice President. In case of the fail
ure of the electors to choose President be-
fore the fourth of March, the twelfth
amendment provides that the Vice President
shall become President. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that it is among the possibilities
that the President who takes his seat on the
fourth of March 1889 may be elected by the

MAIDEN ASSURANCE.
Plan that has Worked Well In CO.
penhagen for Generations.

There is society supported in Denmark
which is wholly unique of its kind, different
from all other associations founded in other
countries. 1t is known as the Maiden As
surance Society,"" Its purpose is to provide
for class which in other countries is largely
thrown upon its own resources, when not
provided against want by the inheritance of
property-single women of well-to-do fami-
lies. 1t shelters and cares for them, reliey-
ing all their pressing necessities, and pro-
ylding each with small allowance of spend
Ing money. Its methods are thus described !:
As soon as girl child is born to him the
father enrolls her name in certain associa-
ton and pays certain sum, and thereafter
fixed sum to the society. When she has
reached the age olive believe-twenty-one
and Is not married, she becomes entitled to
fixed income and to a suite of apartments in
q large bailding of the association, with gar
dens and park about it, inhabited by other
young or older ladies who have thus become
members.
If her father dies in her youth, and she de-
slres 1t, she has shelter in this building, and
at hXed time her own income When she
dies or marries all this right to income lapses
and the money paid in swells the endowment
of the association,
Her father may pay for twenty years. and
then her marriage cuts off all advantage of
the insurance. But this very chance must
enable the company to charge lower annual
premiums, and make the burGen less on the
father insuring. He has anyway the pleas
ant feeling that his small annual payments
are insuring his daughters future, and Civ
ing her comfortable home and income after
he has gone.
1t is obvious that the chances for marriage
among given number of women can be cal
culated as closely as death. The plan has
worked we'll for generations in Copenhagen.

Ten per cent of the New Hampshire rep

a POSSIBLE CONTINGENCY,

one oil the possible contingencies of the
next Presidential election is that the Presi-
dentmay be practically chosen by the Senate.
In case of failure of the electors to choose
a chief magistrate the choice deyolves ON the
House, the several States voting as unit
for the three highest on the list of candi-
dates voted fol by the electors; but MAORI

1t looks as If the Chicago Knights of Labor
had begun as foolish an undertaking as their
st. Louis brethren under the guidance of
Martin Irons did year ago. What they are
trying to do is to compel the packers to call
eight hours days work. II the movement
were general throughout the country there
might be some prospect of success. But to
compel the Chicago packers to pay as much
for eight honrs' work as packers in other cit
les do for ten hours is to put the Chicago
men In position where they cannot compete
with their rivals, If it could be done the in
evitable result would be that the Chicago
men would be driven out of business, and
their employees driven to seek work else
where. That certainly would not be bene-
fit to the laboring man. A good many of the
laboring men apparently see this, and have
little sympathy with the movement Left to
themselves they would probably go to work,
but the unions have forbidden them to do so
and they dare not disobey. We have little
doubt chat the outcome of this contest, will
be defeat for the unions, as disastrous as
that experienced by the St. Louis organiza-
tions in their fight with the Missouri Pacific.
Public opinion is certain to be against them
because they have no substantial grievance,
and because their conduct is not such as
good men can approve; and strikes unsup-
ported by public opinion are pretty certain to
be failures.

aid, writing from Bartlett's Island, says that
the supply Of clans is almost exhausted, and
that unless some action is taken in the mat

at all seasons; in the spring for bait, and in
the summer for canning purposes. During
the last two years scallops, too, have been
growing very scarce in the neighborhood of
Bartletts Island. Fora while the fishermen
made fair wages, but the business has been
overdone and the scallops have gone the way
ofthe clans. Undoubtedly there are many
other places on the Maine coast where
similar state of affairs exists.
