rRoueLE IN DENMARK.

Things In HAmlet'G Kingdom Thae Are Dc
cidedly Rotten.
King Christian, of Denmark. is .
nice old gentleman in many respects
And he really ought to be. in common
gratitude to Providence. He was q
one-horse German Prince, with nobody
to rule over, and hardly nickel with
which to buy glass of cool. refreshing
beer. All of sudden he was given
the Danish throne, and since his Access
sion to sovereignty he has got good
places for all his sons and daughters in
the crown and scepter line of business.
But, with all his good points. he is
wrong-headed in some respects. and
extremely pig-headed in his wrong
headedness. He not only wants to
have his own way in every thing Tin
which regard he does not differ much
from most of us); but he has strong
ideas about the Divine rights of Kings
ideas that do not seem very unnatu-
raj when dropped from the altitude of
Hohenzollern Kaiser, but which GER
tainly do appear ridiculous when pulled
up from the low level of pumper-
nickel kingling. The difficulty into
which his royal nibs of Denmark has
plunged himself by his mulish abso-
lutism is thus explained:
The rejection of the Danish Minis
try's budget and the consequent alb
rupt closing of the session of the Rigs
dag by royal decree is only one more
repetition of performance that has
been going on at intervals for several
years. The Polishing, the popular
body, regularly refuses to grant the
appropriations demanded by the Es-
trup Ministry, which, alike by its arbi-
trary methods and by insisting on large
military expenditures, is in great dis
favor: The King as regularly there
upon dissolves the Rigsdag and votes
himself provisional budget by procla-
nation. as he may lawfully do under
an exigency clause in the Danish con-
stitution. Then when the Parliament
reassembles it refuses to approve this
resort to the exigency provision, and
also rejects the regular annual budget
This performance has been of late fire.
quent to the point of monotony. In
the autumn of 1886, again during the
first days of 1887, then in April of the
same year, and once between that time
and the present these parliamentary
crises have occurred. It is strange
struggle that goes on in Denmark.
King Christian persists in his methods;
the Polishing holds to its own; the
Landsthing supports Prime Minister
Estrup; the people regularly send an
opposition majorityto the lower house.
The marvel is that the quarrel goes on
so long without armed revolt,-M. y
