The de mand of the Norwegian Storthing is not un reasonable in fts tainly, although no provision for such a problom was made in tho act of umon, The claim of the Nor woglan people to & separate system of con Iships is based upon the fact that the cus- toms volicies of the two countries very dissimilar, one country having s strong pro tective and the other a merely revenue tariff in force. The consuls who are now sup posed to represent the dual kingdom are appointed by the Swedish government and it is not stri it they agree with the policy of that government us op posed to the Norwegian policy he de mand for a separate system is volced by the cat majority of the Norwegian people, and it 18 by no means strange that the refusal to grant such a request has caused much inaig nation. ‘The action of the Swedish Storthing in postponing a vote on the eivil list hardly be consteusd as anything but a g of deflance to King Oscar, who has declined to give favorable attention to the Swedish requests. The Norwegin press is strongiy urging the suggestion that the mark of “union be eliminated from the Norwegian flag. The Storthing, by a vote of 63 to 51, decided to suspend its sittings sine die, and from present indications there is much rea son to expect still further trouble of grave nature in the future. A large body of the sewegian people have already to discuss the advisability of maintaining an entire independence of Sweden, and “disun ion" is a word that is often heard in north ern Europe at present. e Thero are two reasons why the political development of Belgium the clectoral conditions will be watched doep anxiety by the neighboring powe would the radicals acquive permanent as- ndency the Belgian government would make no effort to disguise its sympathy with France, and the existenco of this feeling would cast doubt upon the maintenance of Belgian neutrality in the it of a conti nental war. Then, again, the popular party in Belgium, although still called radical, in fact, larely made up of avowed socialists, and when it becomes dominant in the Bras sels Parliament 1t is likely strong tinge to legislation. The ex ample thus presented on their borders will naturally encourage the socialists of 1 and Germany. Already the counting on returnin y to the next Reiwchstag, and the French socialists believe that in the coming zeneral election for the Chamber of Dapu tios they will sweep not ouly Paris, Mar- seilles and Lyons, but many manufacturing or mining towns. It should be remembered that 1 times of peace, social all over ISurope have a common purpose and a com mon program. It is only war that might array sneh and German sworkingmen against each other.

The manifest of- fect of this arrangement will be not only to emancipate the very poor, but to strengthen people of moderate means against the pluto- crats.
