LOOKING TO FREDERICK.

According to recent dispatch from
stockholm, it il confidently expected
that practical efforts will now be made
to form a closer union between the
three Scandinavian countries. The
new Danish king is expected to take
the initiative. King Freiericks inti-
mate friends say that not only does
he believe in scandinavian alliance
as an abstract proposition, but that he
harbors a purpose. as opportunity
offers to reduce the idea to practice. 1t
is pointed out that King Christian, al
though in theory in favor of Scandina-
van unity, feared to bring the ques-
ton up, lest It should cause dIssensions
among his own people.
II is to be hoped that the matter will
again receive consideration. King
Frederick Is In q position TO take the
lead IN a new movement for unity As
the father OF the occupant Of the Nor
weglan throne, and the husband OF a
Swedish princess, he may he regarded
as a connecting link between the three
countries. Unfortunately, the Norwe-
gian King has next TO no power what
ever, and the real rulers, It may be
feared, are not beyond the reach OF the
European diplomatic plotters who are
interested IN keeping the scandinavian
peoples apart But IT is nevertheless
possible that an earnest effort on the
part Of the Danish King for closer
approach would be crowned with sue
cess.
After the events of the first years OF
the last century the spirit of unity
took hold Of many IN the three north
ern countries. "Tbe time OF schsm Ia
past" was the sentiment OF Tegner, The
men devoted to science took the lead.
They were followed by the students
al the various seats OF learning. But
the beautiful thought of a united
North persisted In the war that
deprived Denmark Of a great part Of
her territory. Sweden and Norway
We're prevented from taking part In that
struggle, as they had done In the pre-.

LINCOLN SUNDAY, +"

contributor TO an eastern journal
suggests that the Sunday nearest Feb
Il be celebrated as Lincoln sunday"
He thinks It Is the duty this year to
impress upon worshiplng congrega-
lions and school children, a true Ideal
OF Christian patriotism. The dreadful
examples that have been brought to
light on public corruption suggest the
need OF emphatic inslstence on the
necessity OF scrupulous integrity and
fidelity In an places OF trust. We be-
lleve the suggestion is good. And II
the example Of Lincoln could inspire
the present generation with love and
admiration Of honesty In the admins
tration Of all public affairs. and II this
sentiment should be so strong as to
overcome and drive away dishonesty,
President Lincoln would be entitled to
the verdict of history. that he was the
instrument in the hands of Providence
OF saving his country twice.

FIXING PRICES.

The shoe manufacturers OF New Eng
land threaten to raise the price on their
products. Shoes have steadily risen In
price the last few years, until It APP
pears 10 many that the summit must
have been reached, n a further in
crease Is to be made. many will have to
20 without shoes, unless wooden shoes
should become fashionable.
The manufacturers OF shoes claim
that the beef trust Is responsible. Beet
men, they say. are charging cxorhItant
prices. Tho consequence Il reduce con-
sumption Of meat aud a smaller supply
OF hides for domestic use. At the same
time the demand for shoes has increas-
ed due to the growth Of the popula-
ton. and the result Is, necessarily, high
er prices on that commodity
The unlawful combinations that exist
an over the country for the purpose OF
sitting competition and exactlng the
utmost farthlng from the consumers,
present one Of the great problems Of
our time our entire social structure,
as far as the transaction OF business
goes, presupposes free and untrameled
competition. It takes for granted that
supply viii under normal circumstances
be Al least equal to demand, and that
prices will be adjusted by legitimate
competition. The combinations by
which competition IN made impossible
ana prizes fixed artincially are. there
fore. the greatest enemies Of society.
They are virtually hold-ups. Many
| have seen no escape from their clutches
except In a general socialistic arrange
| ment Of the business OF the state. II,
they argue, prices are TO be axed ar
/ bitrarilv let the state do It. " COM
| petition Is to be abolished. let the state
DO Il. and provide work for those
thrown out Of employment. That seems
reasonable Ia many who see no es-
cape from the grasp OF monopolies and
so the Socialists are advancing prac-
ucally everywhere in the civilized
| world.
