FOTES.... : 7 THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in ett As « local NEWS paper and Advertising M. m it bas ne competitor. oa The Norwegian constitutional crisis is acute. Briefly the Norwegian people insist on the right under the constitution adopted in 1514 to have their own minister of foreign affairs aud representation jabroad separate from that of Sweden. The provisions of the constitution of Norway as stated by one of the greatest writers of that country, Bjornson, bear ont the con- tention of his countrymen., At the general peace of 1814 one of the national arrangements Wes the institution of a kingdom of Nor- way with a separfle government, ex- cept that the gf of Sweden should be also King of Norway. The constitution, zo Bjornson says, has been persistently vio- lated from its date, Norway having alwaysunder it been entitled to its own department of for- eign affairs and in all respects perfect auto- momy except that its constitutional sovereign With limited powers is the King of Sweden as King of Norway also. The Norwegians de- mand the executioa of the constitution, and are supported by a part of the Swedish people. | ‘The court, aristocracy, army, etc., in @ word, the governing circle, seem to be opposed to carrying out the provisions as urged by the Norwegian Storthing. | The main obstacle to an agreement in the matter is the fact that the foreign policies of Sweden snd Norway will doubtless conflict. Norway has not Sweden's historic antipathy to ‘Bussia, having lost no territory to that power. Sweden's reigning family 1s descended from Bernadotte and the tendency of the ruling class is toward French affiliations, Norway tends to side with Germany asagainst France. At some time there may be, in spite of present differ- ences and jealousies, a great Scandinavian re- Publican co-federation with one foreign de- partment for Sweden, Norway and Denmark and perhaps Finland. The day of small powers is passing away and the time may soon come when the descendants of the Northmen will have to fight for autonomy against Russia or Germany. rd Rock Creek within the city limits is an open sewer, emitting noxious odors, injuring the health of residents near its banks and depre- eiating property values. The city must in the ‘ear future convert it into acovered sewer at the expense of hundreds of thousands of dol- lars. Ina few years Washington will extend its streets, its settlement, aud its boundaries to the limits of the District. The banks of Rock Creek, outside of the city, if not protected, Wili be populated, and the stream will soon be- come a filthy open sewer like the present Urban section. Millions will then be required from the taxpayers to cover this festiferous eanal from sight and smell. Omitting all consideration of the permanent Pecuniary benefit to the capital of the creation here of a picturesque park, and omitting to es- timate the increase of taxable values and tax | Fevenues which the experience of other cities demonstrates to foliow the establishment of such a park, it is obvious that the local park | Project is a measure of economy viewed solely | ae asubstitute for costly sewer works te pro- tect public health in the Rock creek region, which will be necessary if the park is not es- tablished ‘The city had the choice between an open sewer ranning through the new Washington of the immediate future, a covered sewer cost- ing millions, aad picturesque sparkling stream Protected from pollution by the reservation from settlement of its banks. and their conver- sion into s park. It chose the last method as ‘the cheapest and most satisfactory, and itacted ‘Wisely from the purely business standpoint, as well asfrom the point of *view of those who think that the capital should be so adorned as to beworthy of the nation without higgling over the dollars of necessary expense. ——— Nothing less than the measure reported from the House committee on the judiciary by Mr. Ustes will satisfy the popular demand fore Rew naturalization law. It would be better, as Tax Stam has heretofore suggested, if the alien-born intending citizen were required to pass fourteen years in the country as an ap- Prenticeship to suffrage. In some cases un- doubtedly it would be a hardship; such, for instance, us the case of the intelligent immi- grant from a country where liberal institutions obtain, notably the British isiands or colonial dependencies, But laws are universal in their application and no exempticn of British, Hol- landers, Scandinavians, French or any other Bationality is practicable. Five years in the republic, with one’ year's residence in the state as & prerequisite, abolishing the clause as to filing intention, ability itution and establishing a; judicial open isition fmt the moral character and legal eligibility of voters applying for certificates of naturaliza- ‘tion will accomplish much in the correction of evils that have become notorious. These pro- visions—the leading features of the House bill— will at least impress the public as a long step im the right direction. As Senator Edmunds says, the great danger in the United States now is a peril of the suffrage, the very foundation stone of our liberties. The dumping upor us ef the refuse of Hungary, Russia and other countries backward in civilization is changing our intelligent and responsible suffrage into something very different—a degradation of American citizenship not called for by any mational necessity or humanitarian object. — ‘The bill intended to put a stop to the weapon- carrying habit in the District of Columbia is in every way one of the most practical measures ever offered in Washington's interests. It originated with Judge Mill-r, whose observa- tions in the Police Court made the necessity | for such measure apparent to him and he has shown a most commendable zeal in urging it | forward. It will do much to put a stop to the | frequent homicides that shock the community. It gives the police an opportunity to act for purposes of prevention as well as retribution and warning, and makes the law a terror not only to the men who are already criminals, but also to those who put themselves in the way of becoming such. ——_—_—_+=2______ ‘The platform of the New York regular con- Yention is a reindorsement of the "91 platform and that of "74, when Tilden was nominated for governor. It is emphatic on tariff reform and the coinage issue and this is no surprise. The men who controlled that convention would be without power in New York if they should de- clare either for free silver or a straddle, for anything like protective tariff or a compromise. ——_—_——>+2—___ Que of the jurors selected to try the shat- tered Napoleon of Finance, FE. M. Field, had mover beard of the case. Whatever may be Field’s mental condition it is evident that the members of his jury are not to be so over- burdened with intellect as to place them beyond the meaning of the law that requires a jury of the defendaat’s peers. oo Dr. Parkhurst, the minister who from the Pulpit vigoronsly assailed New York's local gov- ernment, bas been giving testimony before the grand jury.
