Dr. Carl Herslow.

Dr. Carl Herslow, who is generally mentioned as the successor of the present Swedish-Norwegian minister of state, Baron von Otten, is a prominent member of the riksdag. The new army bill is certain to meet with defeat unless the king consents to universal suffrage, and this is the measure advocated by Dr. Herslow. The present administration is sure to resign, whatever the result will be, and, as Dr. Herslow has repeatedly been requested to take a seat in the cabinet, everything points to him as the future minister of state for the two countries. Dr. Herslow is the editor-in-chief of Sydsvenska Dagliga Snallpoten, one of the leading newspapers in Sweden, and it is the first time in the history of Sweden that a man from this profession will occupy the high position of a cabinet minister, a convincing proof of the progress of democratic ideas in Sweden. For several years Dr. Herslow was the speaker of the second chamber, and has long been considered the leading statesman His platform, "a just division of citizens’ privileges and duties and the right to offer his

life for his country as a soldier should also be accompanied with the right to vote,” has made him the idol of the Swedish people.
