less revolution" of 1905 to a success

The funeral services over the re-
mains of Col. Stang were very i'm
pressive, and Trinity church, Kris
tiania, was crowded to suffOcatiOn by
most distinguished audience. Rev.
Hognestad preached the funeral SER
mon in the pure Norwegian language.
No less than so wreaths, including
four made of pure silver, were placed
on the coffin. Premier Nicholson and
other members of the cabinet and the
highest officials of the army and navy
were in attendance. King Haakon
was represented by Col. Lund
COL George Stang is dead. He was
a comparatively young man, only for
ty-nine years old. He became very
prominent during the union conflict
by leading the work of building
series of forts along the Swedish from
tier. It is supposed that those forts
had something to do with the firmness
of the Norwegians In dissolving the
union. But the Norwegian-Swe
treaty at Karlstad required the razing
of the forts, which was a hard blow
to Col. Stang and the Norwegian war
party. At the last election he failed
in his efforts to capture a seat in the
storting, and he felt the humiliation
keenly. Personally he was a popu-
lar man, and almost enough money
for "bantasten" on his grave was
raised before his funeral took place.
Verdens Gang says: 1T will no
al So
thought that we have no reason to
look upon Socialism with serious ap-
prehension. Our election laws, our
one-chamber system, our majority
rule, all this is exceedingly expedient
in the hands of the Social Democrats.
There are but few countries where
the danger to civil order from the
growing power of the Socialists is
greater than among us. If the parties
of the middle classes fail to do their
duty, but neglect their own and their
country's interests, the Socialists will
be sure to take advantage of it. Ev-
cry election is of the utmost i'm
portance. The danger of having the
despotism of Social Democracy forced
upon us is always lurking on our
way"
