THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MARCH 50, 1873. THE NORTHMEN. The Scandinavian Element in Chicago. Their Fatherland—-Movement of Emi- gration--Some Early-Day Notes. The Features They Have Won in Chicago Community. Their Business, Social, and Intel- lectual Life. - Their Religious Associations and Organizations, Ete., Ete. The Scandinavian is, next to tho Gorman and Irish, the most important forcign clement in this city. The country from which they bail, and which is generally known a8 Scandinavia, is cemposed of tho three peity Kingdoms of Nor- way, Sweden, 2nd Denmark. The peninsula on which Norway and Sweden aro situated joins the * mainland of Russia, near the Polar Circle, in tho northeast ; is surrounded by tho Baltic, North, and Polar Seas : and is, in_consequence of its terribly-cold climate, very unproductive and thinly populated. Tho peainsula on which Den- mark is situated joins the mainland of Germany on the south, and i surronnded by the Baltie and North Seas. To this Kingdom also belong tho two littlo islands of Iceland, and Zesland in the Baltic. Sweden and Norway areruled by the samo King, but have diferent Constitutions and Legiclntures,—the two sections epeaking oven ifferent languages. Denmark has a potentato of its own, and its lawe are considered more liberal, and its population better educated, than those of the former countries. Sweden covers about 8,000 square geogrephical miles; Norwsy, 5,000; and Denmark, only 700,—300 square miles Laving been taken from it, a fow yoars ago, by Germany; and, unitod, they have % population of nearly 6,000,000 of inbsbitants. EMIGBATION NOTES. The first Norwegian emigrants arrived in America sbout the year 1825, and, in 1840, the first Norwegian emigrants settled in Chicago. Bwedes and Danes did not makoe this city thoir home until the year 18:0. Sinco that time, from 18,000 to 20,000 Scandinavian omigrants have arrived in this country yearly. Very fow of them remain Eest,—most of them going West, making this city their base of operations,—and at the present day it is calculated that there aro 10 less than 300,000 Scandinavians living in the”| Btates of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iows, Minnesota, and Koness, Of this pumber, sbout 45,000 Bcandinavians have made this city their per- manent bome, and they are divided amongst the three nationalities as follows: Norwegians.. Bwedes . Dancs.. o « 5 As will be observed by the above figures, there are very few Danes residing in this city, when compared with the Norwegisns and Swodes. This is accounted for by the fact that Denmark 18 by far the smallcst of the threo North States, and, having a warmer climate and more fertile plaing than its more Northern eisters, €0 many of its sons arenot induced to emigrate to anothor more fertile and favorsby-situated country. Swedish and Norwegian emigrants making this city their homotre usually poor, but, being ox- cellent mechanics snd steady, strong-limbed worlmen, soon gave enongh money to buy a home of their own. Some of our 30ST SKILLFUL MECHANICS sud best laborers come from those countries, and Chicago owes them a debt of gratitude for their 2id in rebuilding our noble pheenixed city in g0 short a space of time. But wWhero Scandi- navians mostly excel is as navigators. Most of the sailors of our “Chicago marine” belong to that nationality. The Scandinavians have been FAMOUS EEAJEN i 25 far back 25 1,000 years ago, when, under the namo of Vikings, they commanded and swept both the Beltic and North Seas, penetrating into France and England, and conquering thoss conn- tries. 1tisevensaid that a Scandinavian was the firat to discover Americs, and the story is related in & Norwegian drama entitled *The Country Found and Lost,” as follows: Bjorn Asbrandson, an Icelandic Viking, loved Thuride, & berntiful, fair-haired daughter of Scandinavie, but through unforeseen circumstances was compelied to leave his country and his betrothed for the space of several years. When he st length re- turned again to wed his beloved Thuride hoe found her married to another. Broken-hearted, he again loft his native land to drown the gorrows of his soul amid the penls of the decp, sand, steering duo west, found after a perilous Yoyage of several months & beautiful coantry which he called Vineland, and which is supposed to be tho Atlantic coast of New Jersey. Hero ho encountered a multi- tude of sborigines, and, after having gained their friendship and confidence, they made him their Chief. About twenty-five years later, an- other Scandinavian ship, commanded by Thu- Tide's son, found the same Vineland ; but no Booner had thoy effected a landing than they were attacked by the Indians, and would, un- douttedly, have been annihjlated had not old Bom, the Chief of these Indians, intercéded in thelr behalf. He soon becamo aware of the fact that the invaders were his countrymen, and their commander the son of his once beloved Tharide, and, after_giving vent to his joy for sgain hearing from his native country, he related to them his story, and-requested them to roturn sud bring, back with them & sufficient number of Scandinavisns to resist any sitacks of the aborigines. During their sbsence old Bjorn engraved Beandinavian signs and names on the Jarge rocks near tho ehore, that posterity might know who was the firat discoverer of this continent. For over 800 the Scandinavians, or Vickings #a they ere then called, continued to travel to and from this_country, until at last they sbandoned it, leaving it to Columbus to retraco the old paths ‘and receive ell the credit therefor. THE LANGUAGE ken by the Scandinaviens is not uniform. 'ho dialect of Norway and Denmark is nearly identical, and s, thercfore, called the Norwegian- Davish. * The Swedes speak a language of their ovwn, which somewhat resembles the Norweginn- Danish. Neither of these languages is original, but rather a conglomeration of French, English, German, and Latin. DIGRANT SWINDLING. Scandinavian immigrants arriving in this city are, through their ignorance of our language and manners, grestly imposed npon by immi- nt-honse keepers and runners, most of whom belong to their own nationality. The names of the most notorious of these im- ‘migrant houses are familiar in the Police Court, their proprietors having often been before the Mayor and the Police Courts on charges of ewindling poor immigrants, and whose runners are considered champions in playing the confi- denco game upon thair unfortunato countrymen who desiro to scelk ehelter beneath their inhos- itablo roofs. The Dania Society formerly used 0 look after the interests of these poor immi grants, but since actually ono of the most poto- Tious of these parties has become an influential ‘member of that society, and is paying part of its expenses, they no longer epend their precious time in hunting up and_ assisting_their unfortu- nate countrymen, but lenve that job to the more interested party, as a committee of one, and de- vote themselves'to tho moro noble occupation of fllymg ker in 8 back room of their club-house. the Beantinasions somd organize & society to aid, protect, and advise the immigrants of their nationality, the seme as the Gorman %Qata-l for the protection of Immigrants and tho Friendless is doing, it would save many & poor Samily tha! falla ints ona of those nfamops Sens from terrible sufferings and untold privations. CREe SCANDINAYIAN LOCALITIES. Like other foreign elements in this city, the Scandinavins have oertain loealitics i which they congregate and chose their homes. Most of the Swedes live north of Chicago avenue and :vheut ;f Wells stree‘i, %nbu North Side, whilo e Norwegians an anes prefer £o live n of Kinie street, on the West Side. G5 3 CHARACTERISTICE. . Beandinaviaus are generally & very temperate and gober people, few of them being addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, and verv few saloons in this city are kept by members of that nationality. They, unlke tho Germans, do mot congregaté in saloons, nor are they very fond of lsger-beer, preforsing to ugeml their evenings at home, surrounded by their, offspring smoking with great relish the worst kind of tobacco from a long-stemmed clay pipe. Thoy 8o a law-and-ordor-loving peo- ple, and on tho Sunday _guestion are decidedly onthe side of Mayor Medill, all their papers advocatiog the closing of ealoons on Sundays. AS CITIZEN: none of our foreign inhebitants muke better American citizens than Seandinavians, most of whom come to {his country thoroughly im- bued with republican idess and principles, fully determined to becomo true American citizens, and forever torenounce their mother country with its monarchical and aristocratic institu- tions and its cold, rough, and icy climate. They easily sdapt themselves to American manners and the language of this country, and no sooner do they understand the English language than they refuse to_speak in their own tongue, Fro- forting to foud American newspapors Lo (hosc published in their mother language, sud for that reason most of the 8:andinavian papers in this city bave mall circulations. In 1861 they were among tho foremost to sacrifice their lives and their fortunes on tho altar of their adopted country, and none fought moro valiantly than they, - 'They are, and alvays have been, the strongest opposers of alavery, and for that rca- son they have allied themseives to the Repub- lican party since its formation, and to that party most of them still owe theirallegiance, they hav- ing a perfect horror of the appel ation of Demo- crat, it meaving to them nothing more nor less than rebellion and tho estabhishment of slavery. AS MUSICIANS, As gingers and musicians Scandinavians are widely celebrated. Who has not heard and ad- mirced the magnificont voices of Jennie Lind aud Christine Nilsson ? or who has not been enrap- tured by the matchless music of Ols Bull ? Several ~ excellont Scandinavisn singing so- cietics have their abode in this_ city, the best of which are the ‘‘Freya Siuging So- ciety,” tho “ Norman Sang Vereining,” ol the **Skandinaven Sangers.” Two of cur best bands of music are also composed of members of that nationality. ATHOLETES. 2 Tho Scandinavisus also pride thomselves or hoving ono of the best Turner Socistics in tho country. Their hall is on tho corer of Milwau- kee avenue and Second street, where thoy mcet for the purpose of developing thowr musculer strength, as well as for social entertainmonts. These Turnors are vory tall, powerfully built, and bave usually blond Lsir, which is charactor- istic of tho Scandivavien nationality, sod when- ever they appear oa our streets, clad in their beautiful snow-whito suits ond caps with blue velvet borders, their splendid silk flags and ban- ners_streaming in the air, they aro cnthusiastic- ally hailed and cheered by our dolightod citizens. SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS. Of other Beandinavian intollectual and scciel sociotios in this city, the Svon Socicty, which bolds its meetings at Skandinavien Hall, No. 155 East Chicagoavennue, s sbout 100 members, and is held in great estoem Ly tho Swedes in this city, s is_also tho “Norwegian” and * Nora " societies by tho Norwogizns, and tho “Dapia " by the Dancs. Besides theso socicties, thero is tlo Scandinayisn Carpenter Socicty, tho Scandi- pavian Workingmen Society, and the Scandina- vian Shoemaker Soclety. Scandinavisus do nof seem to be admirers of eecret societics, only one, s Swedish Odd-Fel- low Lodgo, having its existence in this city. RELIGIOUS NOTES. ’ The prominent religion among tho Scandina- vians is tho Evangelical Lutheran, but there are also somo Egi_scopnunnn, Methodists, Baptists, and Swodenborgians, but mo, or very few, Catholics.

Soino of their literary productions are of rare excellenco and of great age, as, for examplo, tho # Elder Edds,” written about the year 1090, and the * Younger Edda,” written sbout tho year 1210, and the * Herins Kringle,” written about the year 1230. These works havo been trans- Iated into several langusges. Thoir historical writers and poete, 08 well a8 their naturalists, have been very prolific, and are widely renowned. Their publications in this country are mainly political, religious, and poriodical publications. The lead- ing Scandinavian paper in thia city, in fact, the only Scandinavian daily paper in fhis conntry, is t{e Skandinaren og America, published dail tri-weekly, and weekly, by Johnson, Anderson Laweon, at the Scandinavian Building, No. 123 Fifth avenuo. The daily, which 18 an _eight-col- umn papor, has, althongh it ia the only Seandi- navia deily paper in the country, only 2,400 subscribers, which eubstantiates the assertion that Scandinavians undorstanding the English Ianguage prefer toresd American pepera. This paper is the organ of the Norwegians and Danes {n this country, and is printed in the Norwegian- Danish lsnguage. The weakly issue of the pub- lication is a ten-calumn paper, and has a circu- Iation of nearly 12,000 copies, of which about 200 copies are sent to subscribers in Norway and Denmark. In politica it is, like almost all other Scandinsvian papers, radical Republican. The American news it furnishes its readers is rather moagre and out of date when compared with American dailies, but its news from - dinnvis is very full, and it haa also s very large Norwegian-Danish” exchango list. Among the ‘Tmore important of its exchanges are the Jfor- bladel, Fubpehnd at Christiania, Norway. Lin i tho leading Norwogien paper, and is the official organ of the Government, by whom it is subsidized, it having only about 1,000 subscrib- ers. It is very conservative in politics, and, 28 the Norwegian people are very liberal, they do not eupport it. This paper, although the load- ing one of Norway, is only the sizo of the Even- ing Mail. and the telegraphic dispatches in any of its issues do not amount to over a dozon Tines, while its market, shipping, and commercial news is contained in legs than two dozen lines. Tho Dagbladet, of Christianis, Norway, is of the eame size 8s its above-nsmed con- temporary, but mdical in politics, and has, therefors, s much larger circalation. Its nows columns and commercial reports are as menagro 28 those of ita aristocratic contem- porary. | § Besides these two lecding papers, thoro are the Aftenpostin, of Christiania, the Stiftstidende, of Tromso, Z\'unrnl;, which city is situated near the Polar Circle. To paper 100ks 8s if it had been printed with frozen ink, orif the printers had emptied a ¢ Schnspps ” behind their cravais every five minutes to keep themecives warm ; and the Amtstidende, of Stavanger, Norway. The Bertingske Tidende is the official organ of the Danish Government, and is published in the City of Copenhagen, Denmark. In size it is a littlo larger than_ the Evening Mail. It is con- servative in pomjcu,t end is don.ly road \_>y] the aristocracy. As to its news and commercial re- ports, it cannot be compared with the meanest American daily psper. : The D{lgstehy'gl;afen, of Copenhagon, is_about the size of tho Evening Journal, and politically it is very liberal. For its enterprise in supply- ing its readers with the latest news it deeerves about the same praise as the Government organ mentioned above. ¥ Among the exchanges of the Skandinaven og America aro, also, everzl very excellent literary and illustratéd pablications h The Scenska Americanaren, or the Swedish _American, is published semi-weekly, at_the cor- ner of Indizna and Peorin streets, and is_ edited by P. A. Sundelins. Its circulaiion is very it having only about 2,500 subscribers, this paper is printed with English types, while all other Scandinavian publicatious m this city are printed with German types. Tho Hemlandet is published weekly by John A.'Enandor and Georgo Bobman, ¢ No. 149 East Chicago rvenue, This is o nine-column peper, and 18 the organ of the Bwedes in the Northwest, and has & circulation of about 8,000 copies. It s radical Republican in politics, and strongly upports the Mayor on the Sunday question. ‘This paper receives a large number { of exclianges from Sweden, tho most_ important of which are Hundels och Sjofarts Tidning, of Gothenburg. This paper furnishes the best markot, commercial, and _shipping roports of any paper in Scandinavia, but in all other re- spects i & vory inferior publication, it being_no Inrgor than tho Evening Mailof this city. It is very liberal in politics, strongly advocating Ro- publican idees and principles, and has, thereforo, ‘many subscribersamong the liberts-loving peopla of Sweden. The J\;za Dagligt” Allchanta, of Stockbolrh, is sbout the sama sizo as the above- named paper, but, it being the Government organ, ik vory conservative and aristocratic, and bzs consequéntly o very small ubsoription list. All other leading papers published in Sweden, such a3 tho Dageno Nyheler, Fadernislanded, and_Samtiden, of Stockholm, and the Pocten, of Jonkorping, are very liberal in their tendencies. Thore arc aleo Swedishillustrated litorary papors received and read in this city, of which tho Swenska Weelbladet, of Stockholm, takes tle lead. ‘This paper is said to have a circulation of over 50,000 copies.

Pell ecconded John M. Moore, and s3id ho waa not the other Moore, but the one who had been Justica. 100 would be a credit to the office, Ho want through along with Canley. The dyed moustacho seconded Vallace, and he was put through along with Hartmen and Craze. 2fr. Feil opposod Mr. Chilcott, since ho had two years of office yet $o run. Mr. Chilcott was turned out, Ar, Kecler's case was taken up, and his _merits were fully discussed. Itappears thatho is competent and ‘warthless, an honor to the profession, and a man un- £it for tho place, 8 man who was now'in office and a man who wae ' runner for Drandorff, and not in oftice at 3ll,—a man of property,—and o’ bummcr, Judge Boyden said ho was an 'upusually active man in serving popers, snd very honest in paying over meney. 1t wag nsked if he bad pot habitually been in the habit of charging illegal fees. The moton to reconsider was carried, and Mr. Keeler was nominsted, i Mr. Fell prescnted petition _eigned by tax-payers, property-holders, and prominent citizens, such 3s Geo, ‘oopor, Otto Bluhm, Ald. Trecey, Michacl Evans, and Dan 0'Hars, asking 'the meoting to put in Austin Daly, a poor snd honest young man, as Constablé, It wos ssked if Mr. D. wad from the Sixth Ward, which was * liable to a litile more representation,™ The dyed moustache sxid Daly could not vrite hig own name. The Sixth Ward nominated Ire Hartman, oDy raa beaten 13to 16, and Hartman was choses, to10. 3ir. Kenney moved to go into nominstions in North and West Chicago. 1t was moved to adjourn, since it wass South Bide meeting. Mr. Kenney got wrathy, and said they hiad had half 2 dozen Norih 8ido moalinstions] end they wanted another. The Chair eaid it was s South Sfde meeting, and tho north sud woat towns must take care uf thomseives, \Ir. Kenney wanted to know how they could do it. Thoy wanted to make nominations under tho wing of :lm! Liberal Committee, but it scemed it could not be ono. Tho meeting adjourned. Four North Siders met, and tried to hold & mass meeting, but it proved to'be a failure, 'WEST SIDE NOMINATIONS. A mass meeting of the freemen of the Town of West Chicago was held yesterdsy evening, at Tammany Hall, Of tho 20,000 freemen . in that town, sbout 143 were present. Tho majority of theso wero of foreign extraction, registered in tho Directory as “ Mc.” and wor The alm of the assembled freemen seemed to bs the reform of tho Constabulary system, .which was to be accomplished by the nomination of various geatlemen present as Constables. The meeting was called to order by Mr. E. Martin, who, after giving & summary of Halnes’ Treatiso on Township Organization, esplatned the way in which tho Republican ticket had been gotten up. Tho object of the preseat meeting was to nominato honest o, and back them up &t the polls. Mr. Owens was clected permanent Chairman, and returncd thanks for the unexpected honor of making him President of the lttle arrangement, He waa to- tally almost unpropared, and begged his hasty election would excuse any shortcomings on his part. Too much fmportance could not bo attached to the kind of mon elected st the present crisis, for corruption was rampant, and it was seeming 83 if Chicagosns wers un- worthy of the suffrage. Tho best men wero wanted for these positions, for money matters wero tempting, 20d the voters could not be too careful {n looking after thoir interests, They wanted aquare dealing. Mr. Martin waa elected Secretary. A froeman eaid thero was mo Bepublican ticket in the fietd. Mr, Martin explained that ft was a bogus tcket, nominated in fraud, Ar. Base was called on for his views, snd stated he could vote for no man nominated on the Liberal ticket on Madison street nr elsewhere. Thero were good men ready to take office. The Madison street meeting was o packed one, and some of the Dominees were 10 Better than pickpockets, Dr. Beatty, o lawyer of eminence, was called on for bis ‘views, ond ho cheerfully responded. It geemed to him that the tax-payers of West Chicago should take more interest in the township officers. Unbappily, a taint of dishonesty seemed to pervade thewhole strata of soclety. It scemed as if Congress wan mzde up of the drove of hogs into which the Redeemer east tho devil, Alfter tracing the connection betwoen Congress and the West Chicago town meeting, be sald he would mot Itke to sco the meeting make nominations, since it was not big enoughi, What they ought to do ho could not ss, ex; cept that they should clect honest officers, They ehould also be capable, Was it not too Iate to elect such men 7 They elected a Supervieor who sat in the County Board, and might impose taxca of thoussnds. They elected Justices of tuc Peace who act in judgment on them. Pasty politcs should cut 5o fgure in the matter. . Martin was in favor of making nominstions, for honest and_capablo mep were present, Ho moved to proceed to make nominations, % Another freeman, who wanted to be s Constable, was in favor of making nominations, The Chairaaked if any other pertinent remarks wero to be made. A freeman sald he wonld like to scc some other ward represented than the Fourteenth. It was clated the Tenth and Thirteenth wero repre- sented. £ The freeman obeerved they were represented by can- didates. He was ready to ballot. . A frecman from the Thirtecnth Ward, now s Con- stable, snd desirous of remaining eo, said that was & very responsible ofiice and great paina should be taken to choose men a3 Constabler, and not peopls who cat- Dauled and gulled men round, 1t was a8 responsiblo 28 Bupervinor, He frequently had $600 of other poo- ple’s money in hin pocket, and what was to hinder his taking his duds and leaving with it Mr. Martin showed that one table man w3a , Ten‘h, Fleventh, T ad Tifteenth Wards, ca M.

Citizen Wiliiam Daes waa sent on that errand, and was ordered Dot to stop 10 take adrink. In a fuw minutes another committeo was detailed to keep an eyc on Citizon Dass, The Committeo scnt to watch the Committes sent to see if the Comamittee wes ready to report, stated that Treeman Bass reported the Comuittce would eoon bo back. It waa eertling its bill, 1o Jie Committeo ou Nomizations reparted a3 fol- ows : Superrisor—Thomas Wall, Toufs Amberg. at Hemming, J. Worth, W, Swinburn, H. Bahy, W, Williams, J. Shoemaker, M.

E. T. Martin ‘was also put in nomination, and Mr, Woltl's friend nccepted it. Aman wanted somebody for such positions who bad a zeal stake in the town, The tall freeman eaid it was ail out of order. They must first vote on Loufs Amberg. Ar. Leatty said it was the privilege of every free- man, in his~ ecvereign capacity, to zominate any ono e pleared. The freeman with the bushy bair thought it proper for the meeting to do augthiny it pleaced. The Chair thought anything was right, Louis Atberg was confirmed, John J. Kelly, belog s resident of the Fourtecnth ‘Ward, was confirmed unanimously. When D. F, Bucklsy came up, an old fricnd of Mr, Buckley asked if he had been uominated elsewhere, D, F. said Le biad., “Then, by gorry,” saye tho old fricad, “1 shall vote against you,” “Buckley was rojected, and roso fo inquire if all othos nominces on other tickets were to be refected. E. T. Martin was nomiuated for Town Clerk, 3r, iBarry was also nominated. 1u order 1o give Mr. Buckley o fair show, Afr. Beatty nominated bim. Buckley's friead opposed him on general principles, £1uee b would not add strength to the ticket, Buckley's friend, being calicd to order, replied that he rose to s personal question—Cnsbing’a Menual.

NORTI BIDE TICEET. ‘This i8 the time for making up tickets for town oficers, No family should be without one, No tax- payer should go to church to-day until he has carcfully read ond re-read all the nominztions, and found out a1l he can about the men who made them, and how ho will be out of pocket for esch, man elected. Lot him vote for wisum he pleases, Ouly don't let him rush ioto print, Some of the marping papers presented tho name of Mr, Henry Callaghan for the Clerkship of North Chicago, aud now TuE TEIDTNE is called upon to say that Mr, Jobn Wagner {s the man. 3Mr. Henry Cal- Iaghan pever did such a thing in his life, snd never would, unless called upon. Following 1s the People's Ticket for the town of North Chicago: Superrisor—James Handley. Collector—Col. Ezra Taslor. #scysor—Jonn ¥. Appleberg. Coren Clerk—John Wagner. Constables—G. B. Dagnes, Nicholas Dreis, Louis Marenti, Jobn Bezry, Thowas Moran, Ols Bendickson, and Patrick Daly. MORE WILLING ONES. West Chicago has but to call for town officers, and the following spotless gentlemen will offer themselves a8 eacrifices to the public need : Collector—A. Salisbury, Supervisor—Thomas F. Wall. Assessor—Louis Amberg. Should Mr, Salisbury not be acceptablo to the citi- zens, then Mr. K, AL Laughlin will meekly offer his time and services, It is s gracious sight. RODBERTTUS. Having failed to receivo the nomination for Assessor of South Chicsgo, Mr. Julius Rodbertus proposes to run as an independent candidate. He is highly recom- mended by the “ouly Republican morning-paper in Chicsgo,"—the paper which advertises ftself as “in- dependontin nothing,"—as “a true Republican,” “a faithfal officer,” and *a reputable citizen.” The com- ‘munity, however, secms to be far from unanimous on this point. A correspondent says : “This Julius Rodbertus, a friend of Ch, H. Hom, s the same fellow who, at tho Auditors' meeting of South Chicago, in October, 1871, brought in » bill for $300 (hich ¥os voted to him), for plata and meps. Thess mape and plats he borrowed from Otto Peltzer, a map clerk in the Board of Public Works, He told the Town Auditors that he made them for the town. After the bill of $500 was voted to him, he next day returnod tho maps to Otto Peltzer.” HMODEST FLORENCE.
