FROM the WIDE WORLD.

Frederick VIII Of Denmark will
dispense with a coronation, following
the example Of his father. There is
a wide difference between the Den
mark Of today and the Denmark Of
1858, over which King Christian was
called TO reign. But by the wise
rule OF Christian, aud the avoidance
OF vast schemes Of world policy,
Denmark, though holding dominant
position at the mouth of the Baltic
and so being an object Of envy to the
larger nations, ,.still remains indie
pendent and is growing prosperous.
She has the smallest standing army
Of any Of the European powers, keep
ing fewer than one soldier TO the
mile of territory, hardly more than
a police force. She has a population
OF only 100000 souls, yet she
feeds these from her resources and
exports much 10 other countries.
About two thirds Of the entire pop.
uiation live by farming and nowhere
in the world has agriculture been put
upon more scientific basis than
there. And better than all, Denmark
is rich in strength of character.
In spite Of all that has been done
by the English government to anne
liorate the condition of the Irish
peasantry, last year saw an exodus
Of nearly 100000 of its strongest
aud best to the United States, not to
mention those who have migrated to
Canada. II is said that the condition
Of unrest among the young Irish,
both men and women, is very strong
During the past summer, whole
villages in Cavad, Galway, and Don
egal are said to have been depop-
ulated, and vast country sides in
Mayo and Roscommon have been
stripped OF the remnants OF their old
time armies Of farm laborers.

Washington, March 20.-Secretary

patibie with public interests for G. w.

ana, to have furlough while he made
a campaign for congress.
Mr.. Steele formerly was a member
OF the house and was defeated by
Frederick Lands Mr.. lands is
candidate for reelection and Mr..
Steele is seeking his old position.
Complaint has been made that Gov.
Steele is using his position to aid him
and that his influence over 5000 in
mates OF the home will be to the dis
advantage OF Lands. Gen. Mcmahon
advised the secretary of war that he
saw no reason why Gov Steele should
not be a candidate for congress II he
desired. He had. however. forwarded
the letter OF the secretary TO Gov.
Steele.

IDEAS.

The man who sells his vote sells
his country; the man who buys a
vote mandates patriotism on the un-
clean altar of greed and ambition.
Bribery at the polls is the mockery
Of manhood suffrage. The Roman
poet relegates to horrible torment in
his hell the man "who sold his coun-
try for gold, imposing upon it a
despotic master, making and unmak-
ing laws for a price. John Ire

IN OUR OWN COUNTRY.

The supreme Court has Just rend-
red a decision that will be Of ines
unable benefit 10 the people Of the
country in their contests with the
corporations and trusts. II is that
books and papers must be surren.
dered for inspection, when they are de-
handed in the interests OF the people,
and that the members Of corpora
ton thus surrendering its books can
not claim immunity on account OF
furnishing evidence in such books.
Ii is expected that on account Of
this decision, some will hasten 10
give evidence and thus gain immunity.
This decision will have a tendency to
restore confidence in the Supreme
Court, which has been suspected OF
leaning to the corporate interests Of
the country lately.
There seems 10 be a tendency, on
the part Of the miners at least, 10
strain themselves TO secure com
promise with the mining interests
without resorting 10 a strike This
is well, and il the people become
convinced that failure 10 arrange
matters lies with the operators, there
will be feeling aroused that will be
like that which now exists in the
country against the Standard Oil
trust. Such feeling will be bad for
the coal men.
The officers Of the New York Life
are reported 10 be writing 10 all
policyholders asking them 10 send 10
the office their proxies, or power of
attorney 10 vote in stockholders
meetings, ard il is said that il will
take 5000 10 pay the expense OF
such letters. Mr. Lawson says that
authority is being given 10 agents 10
insure men for nothing for the first
year IL they will only give their
proxies A protest is being made
against both actions.
There has been a hearing before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in Kansas City. The shippers, es
pecially the oil men, have grievances
enough but they cannot or at least do
no. have adequate testimony that the
railroads are harming them. Moral
certainty is not always evidence. To
one who reads the evidence offered,
IL seems clear that the Kansas rail.
roads and the Standard Oil Co. are
in a conspiracy 10 rob the independ-
en-. oil operators, but only a small
amount OF direct evidences was oh.
sained. But the public is aroused
and an extremely bitter feeling is be-
ing developed against the great man
ufacturing interests and against the
railroads that discriminate against
the weaker in favor Of the stronger
II seems 10 the unprejudiced observ-
or that the railroad interests should
see that their interest lies in the fav-
or OF the common people.

between pick and machine mining;
the exclusion OF boys under 16 years
OF age from the mines and for an eight

When Chairman Traer asked II any
one wished TO discuss the motion there
was an impressive silence. The vote
showed the miners solidly for adopt
ing the scale and the operators as firm
ly opposed to Il. Under the rule that
all questions OF this nature require a
unanimous vote the motion was lost
The matter was then referred to a
Joint scale committed
