The result for this year is therefore not quite as unfavorable 

 to the samlags, the percentage of votes for and against their con- 

 tinuance standing in the ratio of 474 : 526. May not this be 

 taken as an indication of at least a slight dissatisfaction with 

 the effects produced by the discontinuance of the eleven sam- 

 lags in the previous year ? But passing to the year 1897 let 

 us see in what direction public opinion is tending.
