our liberals might easily lead to the
humiliation of Norway. Hence, we
are glad to notice that even those lib
eral papers that have not aIwaTs en-
dorsed our views are advocating care
tul union policy. Such a policy will
surely lead to the goal. and prevent all
kinds OF humiliation. Let the new
cabinet be made up with no other end
in view but that of selecting the w,sest
and most influential men in the differ
ent factions of our party. Then every

tory at the next election will be over
wneIm1ng In our opinion, the posi-
ton OF the liberia. party has never
been more favorable than low. Moth
ing but our own mistakes aud internal
quarreIs can spoil our chances.

Ludwig Andreas Forwald, native of
Stranger, Norway, has made trip
to Denmark for the purpose of proving
that he is a grandson of Count G. F.

Forwald. instead of his proper name
Moltke. This Forwald at Que time

sisters III Copenhagen; but he took no
steps to recover his lost rights At his
death dozen children survived him,
and the young man who is now claim
ing the above rights is ninth in order
of age His first step to recover his
alleged rights will be an ATTEMPT to
convince the Moltke family that he is
what he claims to be; and if moral
suation should fail, recourse will be
had to the courts The nobility of Den
mark is naturally deeply interested in
this matter.
