newspapers do not contain accounts OF

Or more persons are suspected
Of being guilty Of the deed,

Jail where the alleged cflmi mails arc
confined, oycrpowers the often too.
willing officers, enter tho building,
ding the poor wrrtehes out, hang them
to the nearest tree or telegraph pole,
and perhaps, Ia addition, riddle the
bodies with bullets. Tragedies Of this
character are 40 common that they
cease 10 create alarm or cause any
great degree Of apprehension for tho
welfare Of tho nation. These lAwle.s
mobocfatic misdoeds are not confined
to newly settled districts, but are be.
coming frequent In old communities.
With the multiplication OF events
Of this nature comes a corresponding

DEMOCRACY IN NORWAY.

KING OSCAR III OF Sweden and
Norway seems 10 have u very serious
case Of Democracy on his hands. His
Norwegian contingent has the disease

the disruption Of tho Norwegian gov

among the people OF Norway from the

and which few years ago caused q

cning 10 break out, owing, no doubt
to tho persistent efforts Of BjornsJcrne
BJornson, Norway's great man OF
letters, whose mastery OF dlscord
In politics seems to he even
greater than Of concord In
rhymes. A few years ago, he
pushed his perronal sentiments on
monarchlcal matters 30 far rs to pro.
woke the King Into issuing an order for
his arrest. Tho mona roh's reward for
his palms came iii reply Of Insulting
defiance from Bjornson.
The King on one occasion spoke
sneerlngly OF his family CONNECTIONS.
Its reJoinder was 10 the effect that his
fathers, rs far back ~ no could trace
tho line, were honorable men; and he
would be pleased II tho King could say
thesame OF his own progen ltors, the
house Of Bernadotte. This is good
iudex Of tho man and his political
tactics.
Norway never has taken kindly 10
It's union with Sweden. Its people
submitted 10 thp arrRny ement In tho
beginning because they were not pre-.
pared 10 help themselves. The union
Of the two countries was brought about
through pressure from the pow ers OF
Europe, who wanted to give Norway
to Sweden rs n payment for services
rendered In the war that crushed Ma.
pole0n, and also as a plaster ON thewound
caused by the Russian Bears tearing
Finland away. And It was only the
brave spirit Of the Inundated Nor.
wegians tina, saved their country from
becoming - province OF Sweden.
Under the circumstances, the union
has never been Of any particular bene.

worked Into the hearts Of the people.
II issigniGcaut that the leaders in
the agitation are outspokon In their
ropublicanism. This is perfectly un-
ders,ood At headquarters, and among
the people OF Sweden itself disunion Is
being discussed. The Kings party, Of
course, are bitterly opposed to the Idea,
the minister Of state ON one occasion 10
far forgetting himself a. to threaten
Chtistianla with Swedish bayoncts, for
which he Afterwards almol. apollo

While liberal opinion there Ia yet
feeble, comparatively, It takes the adj
vanced ground that Il the Norwegisus
want a separation they should have IL.
The storthiug election In Norway ia
now on. Several startling features
have already been developed. Johan
Svcrdmp enters the parliament NJ a
Conservative mrmber. Lans oitedal,
the noted Stranger prlett, also cou.
vert IN the Conservative ranks, has dis.
gfaced his sacerdotai robes AZ well as
his political party. The Radicals are
gaining ground, and lack only a few
more seats to have the absolute control
Of the siorthing. All this fore-hadows
the possibility Of dlsunion and the
formation of republican form Of gov.
eminent In Norway.

way be Noted out u criminals
Lynohings often occur In communities
where there is good reason 10 presume
that the law, " allowed 10 take IL due
course, will be Administered and eH-
ccuted. Those who Insist on the right
fulness Of the substitution Of popular
fury for the execution Of Law are either
unable TO grasp the consequences OF
such course or indifferent 10 it, In
evllable effect upon the nation. But
even where u IA believed that courts
will act corruptly, we fall 20 see that

vengeance Is wrcaked. This boing the
olsc, the criminal liz, Of the country Il
enormously swelled. The idea that
men should DO the victims ofsummAry
vengeance withoat the application Of
the civilized process Of trial and con.
viction under any circumstances i
mOnstrous. This lsslcss mode has
been applied to a number Of people
who have been subsequently proved 10
be Innocent Of the crimes Of which
they were suspected. Cases Of this
nature have occurred quite recently.
Not only the deeds Of mobocrtis,
but apologies for them, spread danger.
Gus decentralization Of public scnii-
mcnt--a contempt for Law and for legal
processes aud tribunals. This leads 10
the adoption Of mobocratlc methods
for the attainment Of other ends, such
as the settlement of popular questions.
In this regard the disturbances In
Tennessee In connection with convict
labor may be cited. In this instance
the mob takes the exactly opposite POI

the ptcteuce Of Kidding the county
Of bad people whom the courts will
not punish. Now look at the Ten.
nessec situation. The mobs in that
State have no such plea. They, In
order to accomplish an object, turn
loose upon society 800 criminals whom
the courts have tried, convicted aud
punished. Thus the labor Of the trib.
unals OF Justice IL worse than undonc
